Effects of various nucleotides on transport activities of His10-Npt1Ct and His10-Npt2Ct
| Effector | Rate of nucleotide transport (%)a
|
|
|---|---|---|
| ATP import His10-Npt1Ct | GTP import His10-Npt2Ct | |
| None | 100.0 | 100.0 |
| dATP | 96.5 | 100.7 |
| dGTP | 100.6 | 92.6 |
| dCTP | 106.4 | 97.0 |
| dTTP | 108.7 | 94.7 |
| AMP | 100.5 | NM |
| GMP | NM | 90.5 |
| ADP | 12.0 | NM |
| GDP | NM | 89.1 |
| Guanosine tetraphosphate | NM | 97.1 |
ATP uptake was measured at a substrate concentration of 100 μM; GTP uptake was measured at a substrate concentration of 50 μM. The effectors were always present in a 2.5-fold-higher concentration than the substrates. ATP uptake by His10-Npt1Ct in the absence of effectors was 251.9 nmol · mg of protein−1 · h−1; GTP uptake by His10-Npt2Ct in the absence of effectors was 75.7 nmol · mg of protein−1 · h−1. NM, not measured. Data are means of three independent experiments.
