Proton pump-generated electrochemical gradients in rat liver multivesicular bodies. Quantitation and effects of chloride

Endocytic vesicles possess an electrogenic proton pump, and measurements of ATPase activity suggest that Cl- may stimulate proton pump activity. This study was undertaken to measure the steady-state pH, potential (delta psi), and total proton electrochemical gradients established by the rat liver multivesicular body (MVB) proton pump and to examine the effects of Cl- (0.5-140 mM) on these gradients. Radiolabeled [( 14C] methylamine and 36Cl-) and fluorescent (fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated low density lipoproteins) probes were used to assess internal pH (pHi) and delta psi. In the absence of ATP, pHi averaged 7.37 +/- 0.05 (extracellular pH 7.31 +/- 0.02), and delta psi ranged from -32 to -71 mV; but neither pHi nor delta psi varied consistently with [Cl-]. In the presence of ATP, pHi decreased progressively with increasing [Cl-] to a plateau value of about 5.89 at greater than or equal to 25 mM Cl-, and MVB exhibited an interior positive delta psi that was maximal at the lowest Cl- concentration (+65.5 mV) and decreased as medium Cl- increased. The total ATP- dependent proton electrochemical gradient (proton-motive force (delta p] averaged 118.0 +/- 4.3 mV and did not change in any consistent manner as [Cl-] varied almost 300-fold. However, initial rates of MVB acidification increased with increasing [Cl-]. These studies indicate that: (a) in the absence of ATP, isolated MVB exhibited a negative delta psi, probably a Donnan potential; (b) in the presence of ATP and at a [Cl-] similar to that in hepatocyte cytoplasm (25 mM), MVB pHi was 5.89, and delta psi was +9.6 mV; and (c) over the range of [Cl-] tested, the magnitudes of delta pH and delta psi were inversely related, apparently related to Cl- availability, but the ATP-dependent delta p did not vary. Therefore, it is concluded that Cl- increases the initial rate of vesicle acidification in MVB and also affects the relative chemical and electrical contributions of the steady-state proton pump-determined delta p. Cl-, however, does not alter steady- state delta p.
