Effect of antiserum to a 99 kDa polypeptide on the uptake of taurocholic acid by rat ileal brush border membrane vesicles.
A 99 kDa polypeptide in rat ileal brush border membrane (BBM), regarded as a component of the active bile acid transport system on account of photoaffinity labeling, has been purified by affinity chromatography and preparative gel electrophoresis and utilized as an immunogen for raising polyclonal antibody. Immune serum, but not preimmune serum, specifically recognized a single band of 99 kDa protein on immunoblots of ileal and renal BBM. In contrast, no reactivity was observed with proteins in jejunal BBM. This polyclonal antibody, compared with preimmune serum and anticytosolic bile acid binding protein (14 kDa) serum, significantly inhibited the Na+ dependent uptake of [3H] taurocholate by BBM vesicles (p less than 0.01). [14C] D-glucose uptake by BBM vesicles was not influenced by the immune serum (p less than 0.01). Thus, these studies provide further support for the specific role of a 99 kDa protein in ileal BBM bile acid transport.
