Abstract
  • The carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier from rat liver mitochondria was overexpressed inEscherichia coli.The expressed protein, recovered as inclusion bodies, was solubilized with sarkosyl and purified by Sephadex G-200 and celite chromatography. A yield of 15 mg of purified transport protein per liter of cell culture was obtained. Upon reconstitution into liposomes, the purified carrier catalyzed a [3H]carnitine/carnitine exchange inhibited by maleimides, mercurials, and sulfobetaines. Carnitine esters of various lengths were also transported. The Kmfor carnitine uptake was 0.47 ± 0.11 mM, the Vmaxof the exchange was 0.78 ± 0.24 mmol/min per gram of protein, and the Kifor octanoylcarnitine was 13.5 ± 4.3 ?M. The transport properties of the recombinant carrier were virtually identical to those of the native transporter. These studies represent the first overexpression of the functionally active mitochondrial carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier, thus enabling structure/function analysis of this protein by site-directed mutagenesis.
