3 Methods - Electrophysiological Techniques and Mathematical Modeling
Aim of this Project To determine the mechanism of the monocarboxylate transporter (MCT1) and to present a mechanistic hypothesis of how MCT1 interacts with the enzyme carbonic anhydrase II (CAII). The modelling process might provide ideas for this. To derive a rate expression for the MCT1 that also includes the effect of CAII. This could be used in other models. Methods - Electrophysiological Techniques and Mathematical Modeling Protein expression in Xenopus oocytes Injection of rat MCT1-cRNA Injection of CAII (isolated from bovine erythrocytes) Microelectrodes for intrcellular pH measurements ODE modelling Model reduction

Ordinary differential equation model of the transporter states shown in the cartoon

6 CAII Included in Model The effect of CAII is included in the model as an increased rate of proton uptake and release on the intracellular side of the transporter.

7 Comparing Measurements with Simulations
Efflux experiments with and without CAII (A,B) are compared with the model (C). Influx experiments with and without CAII (A,C) are compared with the model (B,D).

13 Measurement of buffer capacity
CO2 +H2O H+ + HCO3- Henderson- Hasselbalch equation: pH = pK‘ log [HCO3-]/[CO2] [HCO3-]i = 10(pHi-pK‘) x [CO2] (pK‘=6.1) Buffer capacity = acid/base injection / dpHi βt = intrinsic + CO2/HCO3—dependent ßCO2 ≈ 2.3 [HCO3-] dpHi Addition/injection of acid By measuring pHi, ß can be determined!

14 Model Reduction One possible set of constraints that can be used to reduce the ODE-system. Solving this set of equations yields a explicit rate expression for the cross-membrane transport of MCT1 substrates,T.

15 Substrate Inhibition Predictions
Model reduction with different assumptions on transporter properties leads to predictions of inhibition by single substrate presence.

16 A Hypothesis for the MCT1-CAII-mechanism
A hypothesis for the MCT1-CAII-mechanism. One or several CAII molecules close to the inner mouth of MCT1 might be working as a proton antenna. If proton uptake and release are the rate-limiting steps of transport, MCT1 turnover could be increase by this antenna.

18 Aim of these studies Measuring and modelling (simulating) H+ buffer capacity Predicting parameters of cellular buffering Testing predicted parameters in experiment What consequences do our findings might have for pH-dependent processes in systems (cells, tissue, organs)?
