title: ATP-dependent strontium uptake by basolateral membrane vesicles from rat renal cortex in the absence or presence of calcium.
abstract: ATP-dependent Sr2+ transport was examined in vitro using basolateral membrane (BLM) vesicles isolated from rat renal cortex to clarify the discrimination mechanisms between strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) in renal tubules during reabsorption. ATP-dependent Sr2+ uptake and Ca2+ uptake were observed in renal BLM vesicles and were inhibited by vanadate. Hill plots indicate similar kinetic behavior for Ca2+ and Sr2+ uptake. The apparent Km and Vmax of ATP-dependent Sr2+ uptake were both higher than those for Ca2+ uptake. ATP-dependent Sr2+ uptake by BLM vesicles diminished in the presence of 0.1 microM Ca2+ and was more markedly inhibited by 1 microM Ca2+. Hill plots of Sr2+ uptake data with and without 0.1 microM Ca2+ showed that the cooperative behavior of Sr2+ uptake was not changed by Ca2+. In the presence of 0.1 microM Ca2+, the affinity of the transport system for Sr2+ and the velocity of Sr2+ uptake in the BLM were both decreased. However, the rate of Ca2+ uptake was not diminished by Sr2+ concentrations of less than 1.6 microM. These results suggest that Ca2+ is preferentially transported in the renal cortex BLM when Ca2+ and Sr2+ are present at the same time.
