Abstrakt: Acyl lysolipids presented in vitro to red blood cells in amounts comparable to blood serum levels inhibit protein-mediated glucose transport (Naderi, A., Carruthers, A. and Melchior, D.L. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 985, 173-181). In this study, an alkyl lysolipid (2-O-methyl-1-O-octadecyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine; ALP), was found to be an order of magnitude more effective in inhibiting sugar transport than the most potent acyl lysolipid. Bilayer concentrations of ALP as low as 5 ALP molecules per transporter (0.1 mol% of total membrane lipid) result in a 50% inhibition of transport activity. ALP acts as a competitive inhibitor of exchange L-glucose transport, of CCB binding to the glucose transporter and of D-glucose inhibition of CCB binding to the transporter. Inhibition of zero-trans sugar uptake by ALP is noncompetitive. The two enantiomers of ALP show a different ability to inhibit sugar transport. The action of ALP is consistent with a mechanism in which ALP interacts with a transmembrane portion of the sugar transport molecule resulting in a competitive displacement of D-glucose or cytochalasin B from the cytosolic facing side of the transport molecule. The simplest explanation of our findings is a direct interaction of the ALP molecule with the transport protein.
