It could be shown that the I⁻ transport is dependent on the presence of both Na⁺ and K⁺ ions. However, the dependence on Na⁺ seems to be more direct: the effect of removal of K⁺ and of the application of ouabain set in only after a latency period while the effect of Na⁺ removal was immediate. The half-time of I⁻ release due to removal of Na⁺ from the medium was markedly shorter than that due to K⁺ removal or that of the release caused by ouabain. However, the half-times in the latter two cases were similar. A thyroid slice kept for a long time under ouabain poisoning in a solution wherein 90% of the Na⁺ was replaced by Li⁺ was still able to accumulate I⁻ for a short time when brought back into a medium of normal Na⁺ content in spite of the uninterrupted presence of ouabain. The possible connections between the K⁺-Na⁺ transport mechanism and the I⁻ transport are discussed.</p><p>In principle two basically different relations can be thought of. Either the I⁻ transport is directly coupled with the Na⁺K⁺ exchange mechanism or the cation-concentration differences created by the Na⁺K⁺ transport system are a prerequisite for the I⁻ transport. The present results are taken to favour the latter assumption.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94301,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta","volume":"78 4","pages":"Pages 711-725"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1963-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0006-3002(63)91037-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"23673344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
