    Notes: Abstract Glutathione synthesis, a vital cellular process, depends on L-cystine uptake by the amino acid transporter, System x C - . Here we show that a second transporter, System X AG - , is required for normal System x C - activity and glutathione maintenance by employing somatic cell mutants of CHO-K1. Uptake by System x C - in two X AG - -null mutants is significantly lower than that of CHO-Kl, either under control conditions or after prolonged treatment with an electrophile. In addition, levels of glutathione in control and treated mutant cells are less than half those of wild-type CHO-K1 or of a pseudorevertant. The significance of this reduction was tested by chemical challenge: mutants are twofold more sensitive than wild type to reactive oxygen species generated by phenylbenzoquinone and to damage produced by the anticancer drug, cisplatin. These results suggest that System X AG - provides a significant portion of the glutamate used to energize the uptake of cystine required for the synthesis of glutathione.

    Notes: Abstract High levels ofl-lysine were used to select for resistant variants of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells. Surviving colonies were screened for altered lysine transport and two with reduced uptake were picked. Clone CH-Kr, derived from the more severely affected colony, was analyzed in detail. In starved cells theV max of lysine uptake in CH-Kr was half that of CHO whileK m was unaltered. The intracellular pool of lysine, a substrate of cationic amino acid transport system y+, was significantly lower in CH-Kr. However, transport and pools of other amino acids, which are not substrates of y+, were also reduced in CH-Kr, as was the internal sodium concentration, while hexose import was increased. It appears that the mutation in CH-Kr is pleiotropic, affecting some general aspects of amino acid transport.

    Notes: Abstract Two new Chinese hamster ovary cell (CHO-K1) mutants lacking amino acid transport System XAG − activity were isolated by [3H]aspartate suicide selection. These null mutants, Dd-B6 and Dd-B7, were analyzed by somatic cell hybridization, along with previously described partial-function mutants, Ed-A1 and Ed-B8. With respect to System XAG − activity, all four mutations fell into a single complementation group. By quantitative assay, the mutations in Ed-A1 and Ed-B8 behaved as simple recessives in fusions with wild type cells, while those in Dd-B6 and Dd-B7 were codominant. We have discovered that Ed-A1 and Ed-B8 are highly permeable to smal neutral molecules. This high permeability phenotype was dominant to wild-type. Northern, Southern, and Western analyses indicated that System XAG − in CHO is not closely related to any of the three well characterized glutamate transporters represented by GLT-1, EAAC1 or GLAST.

    Notes: Abstract Transport of L-[3H]glutamate into Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) was characterized and the results used to design a tritium suicide selection for cells with transport defects. Replicas of surviving colonies on polyester cloth disks were scrrened by autofluorography for reduced uptake and two mutant clones, Ed-A1 and Ed-B8, were obtained. Uptake of glutamate through a sodium-dependent system in both mutants was characterized by significant reductions inV max and increases inK m compared to parental cells, but their response to removal of extracellular sodium differed, suggesting distinct mutations in the two lines. TheV max of aspartate uptake through this system was reduced in both mutants, to one-ninth in the case of Ed-B8. Glutamate uptake through a sodium-independent system was not altered in either mutant. Surprisingly, acid-soluble intracellular pools of several amino acids were higher in both mutants.
