Table 1. Medium acidification by ammonia uptake of oocytes expressing AQP1 wild-type and mutants.
Acidification rate | AQP1 | HA | RV | HA/RV | HA/FA |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
JH+ [10-10 mol H+ s-1 oocyte-1] | 0.41 ± 0.035 (5) | 0.70 ± 0.03 (4) | 0.58 ± 0.08 (5) | 1.6 ± 0.07 (4) | 0.56 ± 0.03 (5) |
P < 0.003 | P < 0.003 | P < 0.0005 | P < 0.008 |
Oocytes were transferred into weakly buffered medium containing 20 mM NH4Cl. The initial rate of acidification of the bathing solution (JH+) is indicated. (±SEM; n is given in parentheses). Uninjected controls were as AQP1-expressing oocytes.
