Orthophosphate (Pi) uptake was examined in human red blood cells at 37 degrees C in media containing physiological concentrations of Pi (1.0- 1.5 mM). Cells were shown to transport Pi by a 4,4'-dinitro stilbene- 2,2'-disulfonate (DNDS) -sensitive pathway (75%), a newly discovered sodium-phosphate (Na/Pi) cotransport pathway (20%), and a pathway linearly dependent on an extracellular phosphate concentration of up to 2.0 mM (5%). Kinetic evaluation of the Na/Pi cotransport pathway determined the K1/2 for activation by extracellular Pi ([Na]o = 140 mM) and extracellular Na [( Pi]o = 1.0 mM) to be 304 +/- 24 microM and 139 +/- 8 mM, respectively. The phosphate influx via the cotransport pathway exhibited a Vmax of 0.63 +/- 0.05 mmol Pi (kg Hb)-1(h)-1 at 140 mM Nao. Activation of Pi uptake by Nao gave Hill coefficients that came close to a value of 1.0. The Vmax of the Na/Pi cotransport varied threefold over the examined pH range (6.90-7.75); however, the Na/Pi stoichiometry of 1.73 +/- 0.15 was constant. The membrane transport inhibitors ouabain, bumetanide, and arsenate had no effect on the magnitude of the Na/Pi cotransport pathway. No difference was found between the rate of incorporation of extracellular Pi into cytosolic orthophosphate and the rate of incorporation into cytosolic nucleotide phosphates, but the rate of incorporation into other cytosolic organic phosphates was significantly slower. Depletion of intracellular total phosphorus inhibited the incorporation of extracellular Pi into the cytosolic nucleotide compartment; and this inhibition was not reversed by repletion of phosphorus to 75% of control levels. Extracellular 32Pi labeled the membrane-associated compounds that migrate on thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with the Rf values of ATP and ADP, but not those of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), AMP, or Pi. DNDS had no effect on the level of extracellular phosphate incorporation or on the TLC distribution of Pi in the membrane; however, substitution of extracellular sodium with N-methyl-D-glucamine inhibited phosphorylation of the membranes by 90% and markedly altered the chromatographic pattern of the membrane-associated phosphate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
