From the Departments of We studied glucose and water passage across wild
type (WT) glucose transporter Glut1 and its T310I pathogenic mutant,
expressing them in Xenopus laevis oocytes. We
found that the T310I mutation produced a 8-fold decrease in glucose
transport (zero-trans influx, 13 ± 2% compared with
WT), accompanied by a 2.8-fold increase in the osmotic water
permeability (Pf 280 ± 40% compared with
WT), and no change in the diffusional water permeability (Pd). The dependence of glucose and water
transports on the amounts of mutant cRNA injected was identical
exponential buildups (k = 19.7 ng), suggesting that
they depend similarly on the quaternary structure. The
Ea values for Pf were 16 ± 0.4 (WT) and 11 ± 1 kcal mol

1 (T310I). We report
for the first time that 10 mM D-glucose and L-glucose inhibit Pf by ~45% in the
WT but not in the T310I mutant. In addition, 10 mM maltose
reduces Pf (15-20%) in both cases. However, 5 mM L-glucose increased the
Pf of T310I, consistent with a cooperative effect.
These experimental observations and an analysis of our
three-dimensional model strongly suggest the presence of two channels
per Glut1 monomer, one of which can be blocked by the mutation T310I.
