title: D-Glucose, forskolin and cytochalasin B affinities for the glucose transporter Glut1. Study of pH and reconstitution effects by biomembrane affinity chromatography.
abstract: The affinities of D-glucose and the transport inhibitors, forskolin and cytochalasin B (CB), for Glut1 were studied by frontal affinity chromatography at pH 5-10 on sterically immobilized proteoliposomes with reconstituted human red cell glucose transporter Glut1. The affinity of D-glucose for Glut1 became slightly weaker as the pH was increased. The inhibitor affinities decreased and became immeasurably weak above pH 9. At pH 7.4, the dissociation constants were 44 mM for glucose, 1.8 microM for forskolin and 72 nM for CB. The affinities of these solutes for Glut1 in red cell membrane vesicles and particularly for Glut1 in red cells were higher, as shown by chromatographic analyses.
