Na+-H+ exchange activity in renal brush border membrane vesicles isolated from hyperthyroid rats was increased. When examined as a function of [Na+], treatment altered the initial rate of Na+ uptake by increasing Vm (hyperthyroid, 18.9 +/- 1.1 nmol Na+ X mg-1 X 2 sec-1; normal, 8.9 +/- 0.3 nmol Na+ X mg-1 X 2 sec-1), and not the apparent affinity KNa+ (hyperthyroid, 7.3 +/- 1.7 mM; normal, 6.5 +/- 0.9 mM). When examined as a function of [H+] and at a subsaturating [Na+] (1 mM), hyperthyroidism resulted in the proportional increase in Na+ uptake at every intravesicular pH measured. A positive cooperative effect on Na+ uptake was found with increased intravesicular acidity in vesicles from both normal and hyperthyroid rats. When the data were analyzed by the Hill equation, it was found that hyperthyroidism did not change the n (hyperthyroid, 1.2 +/- 0.06; normal, 1.2 +/- 0.07) or the [H+]0.5 (hyperthyroid, 0.39 +/- 0.08 microM; normal, 0.44 +/- 0.07 microM) but increased the apparent Vm (hyperthyroid, 1.68 +/- 0.14 nmol Na+ X mg-1 X 2 sec-1; normal 0.96 +/- 0.10 nmol Na+ X mg-1 X 2 sec-1). The uptake of Na+ in exchange for H+ in membrane vesicles from normal and hyperthyroid animals was not influenced by membrane potential. H+ translocation or debinding was rate limiting for Na+-H+ exchange since Na+-Na+ exchange activity was greater than Na+-H+ exchange activity. Hyperthyroidism caused a proportional increase and hypothyroidism caused a proportional decrease in Na+-Na+ and Na+-H+ exchange.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
