RESUMO
Citrate transport via CitS of Klebsiella pneumoniae has been shown to depend on the presence of Na+. This transport system has been expressed in Escherichia coli, and uptake of citrate in E. coli membrane vesicles via this uptake system was found to be an electrogenic process, although the pH gradient is the main driving force for citrate uptake (M. E. van der Rest, R. M. Siewe, T. Abee, E. Schwartz, D. Oesterhelt, and W. N. Konings, J. Biol. Chem. 267:8971-8976, 1992). Analysis of the affinity constants for the different citrate species at different pH values of the medium indicates that H-citrate2- is the transported species. Since the electrical potential across the membrane is a driving force for citrate transport, this indicates that transport occurs in symport with at least three monovalent cations. Citrate efflux is stimulated by Na+ concentrations of up to 5 mM but inhibited by higher Na+ concentrations. Citrate exchange, however, is stimulated by all Na+ concentrations, indicating sequential events in which Na+ binds before citrate for translocation followed by a release of Na+ after release of citrate. CitS has, at pH 6.0 and in the presence of 5 mM citrate on both sides of the membrane, an apparent affinity (K(app)) for Na+ of 200 microM. The Na+/citrate stoichiometry was found to be 1. It is postulated that H-citrate2- is transported via CitS in symport with one Na+ and at least two H+ ions.
