Monoiodotyrosine (MIT) crosses the lysosomal membrane of rat FRTL-5 thyroid cells by a carrier-mediated process. In egress studies, MIT lost from inside lysosomes was quantitatively recovered outside lysosomes as MIT, indicating that the compound was transported intact across the lysosomal membrane. In uptake studies, [125I]MIT entry required intact lysosomes and exhibited saturation kinetics. The apparent Km for MIT was approximately 1.5 microM and the Vmax was approximately 0.24 pmol/unit hexosaminidase/min. Countertransport of MIT was demonstrated, with an initial velocity of [125I]MIT uptake which reached a maximum at high intralysosomal MIT loading. Nonradioactive MIT and diiodotyrosine competed to approximately equivalent extents with [125I]MIT for uptake in countertransport experiments. The existence of a lysosomal MIT carrier in thyroid cells may explain how this product of thyroglobulin catabolism is transported to the cytosol for iodine salvage and reutilization.
