Sensitivity of citrate exchange in reconstituted liposomes to inhibitors
| Addition | Concentration | Inhibition |
|---|---|---|
| mm | % | |
| Mersalyl | 0.5 | 91 |
| p-Hydroxymercuribenzoate | 0.5 | 85 |
| N-Ethylmaleimide | 2.0 | 4 |
| Benzylmalonate | 2.0 | 55 |
| Butylmalonate | 2.0 | 58 |
| 1,2,3-Benzenetricarboxylate | 2.0 | 45 |
| 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylate | 2.0 | 5 |
| Atractyloside | 0.1 | 18 |
| Phenylglyoxal | 10.0 | 15 |
| Phenylisothiocyanate | 10.0 | 97 |
| Pyridoxal 5′-P | 10.0 | 100 |
The proteoliposomes were loaded with 20 mm citrate and the exchange was started by adding 0.1 mm [14C]citrate. The inhibitors were added together with [14C]citrate except the −SH reagents, which were added 2 min before the labeled substrate. The data are the means of three experiments. The control value of uninhibited citrate exchange was 6127 nmol 10 min−1 mg−1 protein.
