title: Characterization of the transport system for beta-lactam antibiotics and dipeptides in rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles by photoaffinity labeling.
abstract: The uptake of the alpha-aminocephalosporin cephalexin into brush-border membrane vesicles from rat renal cortex was independent on an inward H+-gradient in contrast to the intestinal transport system. The transport system could be irreversibly inhibited by photoaffinity labeling. Two binding polypeptides for beta-lactam antibiotics and dipeptides with apparent molecular weights 130,000 and 95,000 were identified by photoaffinity labeling with [3H]benzylpenicillin and N-(4-azido[3,5-3H]benzoyl) derivatives of cephalexin and glycyl-L-proline. The uptake of cephalexin and the labeling of the respective binding proteins was inhibited by beta-lactam antibiotics and dipeptides as with intestinal brush-border membranes. These data indicate that the transport systems for beta-lactam antibiotics and dipeptides in the brush-border membrane from rat kidney and small intestine are similar but not identical.
