Tryptophan inhibits the [3H]glutamate uptake into Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA
Abstract
We characterized the glutamate (Glu) uptake in Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA. The Glu uptake into oocytes was higher in mRNA-injected oocytes than in vehicle-injected ones. Na+ omission or addition of tryptophan inhibited the uptake in mRNA-injected oocytes, although it did not affect that in vehicle-injected oocytes. These results suggest that Glu transporters with a tryptophan sensitivity different from that of Glu transporters in native oocytes are expressed after injection of rat brain mRNA.
