The ontogeny of intestinal phosphate transport was examined in brush-border membrane vesicles prepared from 2-wk, 4-wk, 6-wk, and 3-mo-old rabbits. At all four ages, vesicles prepared from the duodenum demonstrated sodium-phosphate cotransport in that uptake in the presence of a sodium gradient was significantly greater than uptake in the presence of a potassium gradient. While sodium-independent phosphate uptake was comparable at all ages, sodium-phosphate cotransport was greatest in the youngest animals and declined with increasing age. Peak phosphate uptake was 10-fold the equilibrium value at 2 wk and declined to 3-fold in adults. Maximal transport capacity of sodium-phosphate cotransport fell from 2,292 +/- 161 at 2 wk to 286 +/- 12 pmol.mg-1.10 s-1 at 3 mo, whereas the Michaelis constant did not change with age, varying between 0.032 and 0.054 mM. At all ages, uptake was half-maximally stimulated between 30 and 50 mM sodium, and Hill coefficients were between 1.5 and 2. Generation of inside negative diffusion potentials did not significantly enhance phosphate uptake at any age. These data suggest that throughout development, the transport of each phosphate molecule across the rabbit duodenal brush-border membrane is coupled to the transport of two sodium molecules. There were distinct developmental changes in the distribution of the sodium-phosphate cotransport along the length of intestine. In 2-wk old animals, sodium-phosphate cotransport was present in the duodenum, proximal and distal jejunum, and proximal ileum. In 4-wk-old animals, sodium-phosphate cotransport was present throughout the duodenum and proximal and distal jejunum, and in 6-wk and 12-wk-old animals, sodium-phosphate cotransport was observed only in the duodenum and proximal jejunum.

The kinetics of sodium gradient dependent phosphate uptake by the renal brush border membrane vesicles of the rat have been studied under various conditions of temperature and pH. From 7 to 30 °C the Lineweaver-Burk plots are linear, and the apparent Km progressively increases from 54 to 91 μM. Above 30 °C, the apparent Km continues to increase to reach 135 μM at 40 °C, but a break is observed in the Lineweaver-Burk plots at the substrate concentration of 300 μM. The existence of this break, confirmed by the Eadie-Hofstee plot supports the hypothesis of a dual mechanism of phosphate transport, one for low concentrations of substrate with a Km of 100 μM and the other for high concentrations with a Km of approximately 240 μM. When the two components of the Eadie-Hofstee plot are analyzed according to a nonlinear regression program, these two values of Km become 70 μM and 1.18 mM, respectively. The Vmax continuously increases with temperature. However, the Arrhenius plot (In Vmax vs. 1/Tk) shows an abrupt discontinuity at 23 °C. pH experiments were performed at 35 °C. In the absence of a proton gradient, increasing the pH from 6.5 to 7.5 and 8.5 decreases the apparent Km from 341 to 167 and 94 μM, respectively. When only the divalent form of phosphate is considered as the substrate, the apparent Km does not vary anymore with the pH and remains around the mean value of 105 μM. The uniformity of the apparent Km for the total phosphate uptake, when only the divalent phosphate is considered as being the substrate, suggests that this divalent form is the only one which is transported. Whatever the substrate considered, total phosphate or divalent phosphate, the highest Vmax is obtained at pH 7.5 which probably approximates the optimum pH inside the vesicles for the phosphate uptake.

Phosphate transport was studied in brush-border membrane vesicles prepared from outer medullary tissue of the porcine kidney. Phosphate uptake studies were performed in the absence of sodium at 21 degrees C. A 1.2- to 12-fold overshoot, above equilibrium values, was present with intracellular pH (pHin) equal to 8.0 and extracellular pH (pHout) equal to 6.5, which was not evident at pHin = pHout. Concentration-dependence of the pH-stimulate uptake was determined by the difference of uptake in the absence of a pH gradient (pHin = pHout) from that in the presence of a pH gradient over a large range of phosphate concentrations. The uptake was consistent with a single facilitative system characterized by apparent kinetic parameters; with Michaelis constant 149 +/- 11 microM and maximal velocity 4.9 +/- 0.4 nmol.mg protein-1.min-1, n = 3. Phosphate uptake was inhibited by the stilbene derivative 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid with a mean inhibition constant (Ki) value of 0.15 mM (n = 2). In addition, pH gradient-stimulated phosphate uptake was sensitive to furosemide and bumetanide; Ki values of 0.50 +/- 0.05 and 0.11 +/- 0.04 mM, respectively. Arsenate (1 mM) and phosphonoformate (1 mM) inhibited pH-dependent phosphate uptake, whereas sulfate (5 mM), bicarbonate (25 mM), and chloride (100 mM) were without effect, indicating that the transport system is relatively specific to phosphate and its close analogues. pH gradient-stimulated phosphate uptake was not influenced by potassium-diffusional gradients. The data provide evidence for a facilitative process in brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from outer medullary tissue of the pig kidney that is capable of transporting phosphate in the absence of sodium.

Renal brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from rats kept for 6–8 weeks on a low-phosphate diet (0.15% of dry matter) showed a markedly faster Na+-dependent phosphate uptake than did membrane vesicles isolated from animals kept on a high-phosphate diet (2% of dry matter). Phosphate-uptake rate by brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from animals on a low-phosphate diet remained significantly increased after acute parathyroidectomy. Dietary adaptation was also observed in animals that had been parathyroidectomized before exposure to the different diets. In animals on the low-phosphate diet parathyrin administration inhibited phosphate uptake by brush-border vesicles only if the animals were repleted with Pi (5ml of 20mm-NaH2PO4) 1h before being killed. After acute phosphate loading and parathyrin administration the difference in the transport rate between the two dietary groups remained statistically significant. The results suggest that the adaptation of proximal-tubule phosphate transport to dietary intake of phosphate is reflected in the Na+/phosphate co-transport system located in the luminal membrane of the proximal-tubule cell. Since the dietary effects on phosphate transport by brush-border membranes are only partially reversed by acute changes in parathyrin concentration and are also observed in chronically parathyroidectomized animals, the adaptation of the Na+/phosphate co-transport system to dietary phosphate intake seems to involve an additional mechanism independent of parathyrin.

Phosphate transport was investigated in brush-border membrane vesicles prepared from the duodenal segment of the chicken small intestine. Phosphate transport was sodium dependent and demonstrated the typical overshoot phenomenon with an external sodium gradient. There was no appreciable difference in phosphate uptake rates at pH 6.5 or 7.5 values, and the apparent kinetic parameters suggested that both the monovalent form, H2PO4-, and divalent form, HPO4(2-), were transported at the appropriate pH values. The apparent Km values were 0.10 and 0.07 mM, respectively. Determination of the sodium stoichiometry, assessed by an external sodium concentration or by the static-head method, suggested an interaction of one or more sodium ions with phosphate at the acid pH value and two or more sodium ions with phosphate at the alkaline pH value. The sodium affinity for sodium-dependent phosphate transport was in the order of 10–25 mM and was similar at both pH values. Phosphate accumulation was not affected by an externally applied potassium diffusion potential, suggesting an electroneutral process at both pH values. The cumulative evidence would suggest Na+-H2PO4- transport at pH 6.5 and 2Na+-HPO4(2-) at pH 7.5 value, and the effect of hydrogen ions on sodium-dependent phosphate transport is dependent on the external sodium concentration. Brush-border membranes isolated from chickens maintained for 5–7 days on a low-phosphate diet demonstrated a greater sodium-dependent phosphate uptake (Vmax) than animals on normal phosphate intakes with no change in the apparent Km. Sodium stoichiometry and the rheogenic nature of the process appear to be similar to those present in normal birds.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The sustained in vivo infusion of phosphate into thyroparathyroidectomized rats resulted, after 1 h, in a marked decrease in net phosphate reabsorption, even though the plasma concentration of phosphate continued to rise. This response to phosphate infusion was expressed at the level of the proximal tubule brush border membrane. Within 40 min of the initiation of the infusion the Na+-dependent phosphate uptake system in isolated membrane vesicles was decreased. Phosphate uptake in the absence of Na+, Na+-dependent D-glucose uptake, and 22Na+ uptake were not affected. These findings demonstrate the locus of this parathyroid hormone-independent adaptation and indicate the rapidity with which the membrane transport system is regulated.

The initial linear rate of phosphate uptake was analyzed in rat renal brush border membrane vesicles. An increase in medium pH from 6.0 to 8.0 increased the sodium gradient-dependent phosphate uptake about 20-fold. Sodium-independent phosphate uptake was not altered in this pH range. At pH 7.4 an intravesicular acid pH stimulated the initial linear uptake rate (20-25%). The apparent Km for sodium increased from about 100 to 200 mM when pH was decreased from 7.4 to 6.4. The Hill coefficient for sodium interaction was close to 2 and was unaffected by pH. Increasing external sodium reduced the apparent Km of the transport system for phosphate independent of pH. Variations of phosphate concentration had no influence on the apparent Km for sodium. At high sodium concentrations, small effects (20-30%) of pH on the apparent Vmax of the transport system were found; measured at saturating sodium concentrations, the apparent Km values calculated on the basis of total phosphate were increased (50-60%) when pH was decreased from 7.4 to 6.4. The data indicate that the major effect of pH is to modify the interaction of the transport system with sodium. At nonsaturating sodium concentrations, this resulted indirectly in a reduction in the affinity for phosphate related to a different occupancy of the sodium binding site. The differences of transport rate at low phosphate and high sodium concentrations could be explained by preferential transport of divalent phosphate as well as by pH effects on other carrier properties.

The influence of pH on sodium-phosphate cotransport was determined in brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated from outer cortical and outer medullary tissue of porcine kidneys. Two transport systems are apparent in outer cortical brush-border vesicles, and one process is apparent in outer medullary vesicles at all pH values. The apparent maximum uptake rate (Vmax) of the low-affinity system in outer cortex vesicles decreased from 8.3 +/- 1.7 to 3.2 +/- 0.05 nmol.mg protein-1.min-1 with pH change of 8.0 to 6.0, and the high-affinity process changed from 1.3 +/- 0.2 to 0.1 +/- 0.01 nmol.mg protein-1.min-1. The respective affinity values (Km) also decreased 5.5 +/- 0.9 to 0.6 +/- 0.01 mM and 0.08 +/- 0.005 to 0.01 +/- 0.005 mM, respectively, with acidification. In outer medullary vesicles a decrease in pH diminished the apparent Km, 0.28 +/- 0.03 to 0.02 +/- 0.003 mM, and mean Vmax from 3.0 +/- 0.07 to 0.5 +/- 0.1 nmol.mg protein-1.min-1. The mean KNaD values were 22.1 +/- 4.2 mM in outer cortical vesicles (low-affinity system) and 58.7 +/- 7.2 mM in outer medullary vesicles (high-affinity system) and were not altered by pH, suggesting that H+ does not affect the sodium interactive site. The data suggest that the vesicles prepared from outer cortical and outer medullary tissue possess distinctive sodium-phosphate transporters that are sensitive to external H+ concentrations.
