title: Nucleotide-activated chloride channels in lysosomal membranes.
abstract: Lysosomal membrane vesicles purified from rat liver contain a basal chloride conductance that was enhanced in the presence of ATP, non-hydrolysable ATP-analogs and, to a lesser extent, GTP. Other nucleotides, including AMP, ADP and cAMP, as well as CTP and UTP were not effective. Following fusion of the vesicles with an artificial phosphatidylethanolamine/phosphatidylserine bilayer, we found that ATP gamma S dramatically increased the incidence of 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS)-sensitive chloride channels with a unitary slope conductance of approx. 40 pS in 300 mM/50 mM KCl buffers and 120 pS in symmetrical 300 mM KCl buffers. Since similar results were obtained with AMP-PNP, the results indicate that lysosomes contain a chloride permeable ion channel that is activated by ATP through allosteric interaction.
