Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation Gly-Gly transport rate was similar to Gly uptake in glycine equivalents.
- Observation Gly-Gly uptake occurred mainly in mesophyll cells, with little vein accumulation.
- Observation Gly-Gly uptake was optimal at pH 6.0.
- Observation Gly-Gly uptake had one saturable phase with an apparent Michaelis constant of 16 mM.
- Intervention effect Gly-Gly did not inhibit labeled Gly uptake.
- Intervention effect Gly-Gly caused a concentration-dependent rise in medium pH.
- Intervention effect Gly-Gly induced concentration-dependent mesophyll depolarization with an apparent Michaelis constant of 15 mM.
- Observation Depolarization was followed by transient hyperpolarization.
- Intervention effect Several peptides and tripeptides inhibited Gly-Gly uptake at tenfold excess.
- Intervention effect Gly only slightly inhibited Gly-Gly uptake.
- Intervention effect TetraGly did not inhibit Gly-Gly uptake.
- Intervention effect Glutathione did not inhibit Gly-Gly uptake.
- Intervention effect Dipeptides that inhibited Gly-Gly uptake changed mesophyll membrane potential.
- Intervention effect Dipeptides changed the membrane response normally induced by Gly-Gly.
- Mechanism The data indicate a low-affinity, broad-specificity H+/peptide cotransporter in mesophyll plasma membrane.
