The temperature dependence of the exchange transport of glucose in human erythrocytes

Abstract: The temperature dependence of the uptake of glucose by exchange transport is investigated at two pH values (7.5 and 5). The Arrhenius's energy of activation, the heat of activation, the free energy of activation and the entropy of activation are calculated. The parameters are different at pH 7.5 and 5. For both pH levels the heat of activation and the entropy of activation change abruptly at 20°C. This finding leads us to assume that at this 1:emperature a change in the structure of the membrane takes place.

“…We are thus faced with difficulties in trying to compare the present results obtained with galactose with all those reported in the literature which deal with glucose. The mere difference in experimental methodologies could be the reason for the discrepancy between the present values of E. for the maximal velocity and some of those reported previously for glucose (Bolis et al 1970;Lacko et al 1973) and for galactose (Lacko & Burger, 1963), which are significantly lower. Nevertheless, the dependence of Vmax on temperature obtained in the present work yields E. values comparable to those reported by several other investigators.…”

“…Similar non-linearities in the Arrhenius plots, previously reported by other investigators (Sen & Widdas, 1962;Bolis et al 1970;Lacko et al 1973) functional implication of changes in the physical state of the lipid matrix requires either an hydrophobic interaction between the membrane lipids and the proteinaceous hexose transporter, or a protein-protein interaction due to changes in the relative concentration of the transporter resulting from its redistribution between liquid and solid phases (Thilo, TrAuble & Overath, 1977). It should be noted here that whereas Vee -Vit at 0 0C, above this temperature the ratio Vee/ Vit is between 2 and 3.…”

“…A change in activation energy at about 20 ~ has also been reported for D-glucose exchange transport in human erythrocytes (Lacko, Wittke & Geck, 1973), although a similar study failed to detect a transition temperature for this system (Hankin & Stein, 1972). The transition temperature for 2-deoxy-D-glucose transport in N1S1-67 cells is significantly higher than that reported for the D-glucose transport system of erythrocytes.…”

“…In an accelerated exchange uptake experiment, cells are first loaded with various concentrations of unlabeled sugar, and the rate of unidirectional, radiolabeled sugar uptake is measured at a fixed extracellular sugar concentration. At 20°C and lower, where transport can be measured accurately, unidirectional sugar uptake is accelerated severalfold by loading cells with unlabeled sugar, and exit is accelerated by extracellular sugar (73).…”
