The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris was used for heterologous expression of the rabbit intestinal peptide transporter PepT1 and its functional characterization. PepT1 mediates the electrogenic transmembrane transport of di- and tripeptides and peptido-mimetics such as beta-lactam antibiotics and ACE-inhibitors. Functional

This study was initiated to develop inhibitors of the intestinal H(+)/peptide symporter. We provide evidence that the dipeptide derivative Lys[Z(NO(2))]-Pro is an effective competitive inhibitor of mammalian PEPT1 with an apparent binding affinity of 5-10 microM. Characterization of the interaction

The transport of a hydrolysis-resistant dipeptide, D-phenylalanyl-L-alanine (D-Phe-L-Ala), has been studied by high-performance liquid chromatography in rat lung epithelial cells and apical membrane vesicles. Time-dependent uptake of D-Phe-L-Ala into isolated type II pneumocytes was shown. Uptake was saturable, and Michaelis-Menten

A new type of molecular arrangement for dipeptides is observed in the crystal structure of L-phenylalanyl-L-alanine dihydrate, C12H16N2O3-2H2O. Two L-Phe and two L-Ala side chains aggregate into large hydrophobic columns within a three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network.

Di- and tripeptides and peptide mimetics such as beta-lactam antibiotics are efficiently reabsorbed from the tubular lumen by a high-affinity peptide transporter. We have recently identified and characterized this H+-coupled high-affinity peptide transport system in the porcine proximal tubular cell
