Abstract— The uptake of [35S]cystine at 37°C by synaptosomal fractions isolated from adult rat cerebrum can be divided into two components. About 60% of the uptake is due to binding to synaptosomal proteins while the remainder exists as a free amino acid pool. Chemical analysis of this soluble component indicates that considerable reduction of cystine to cysteine occurs with 75% or more of the labeled molecular species being cysteine. The process involved in the uptake into the soluble pool was composed of two saturable systems with apparent Km values of 0.14 and 1.4 mm. The low Km system was sodium and oxygen independent but inhibited by dinitrophenol. Dibasic amino acids, lysine, arginine and ornithine, did not inhibit cystine uptake. The characteristics of cystine uptake by synaptosomes from newborn brain are very similar to those of adult brain.
