    Abstract:
    The size of the renal sodium/phosphate symporter was estimated with the radiation inactivation technique in isolated bovine brush border membrane vesicles and after reconstitution in proteoliposomes. The functional unit of the native phosphate carrier had a radiation inactivation size of 172 +/- 17 kDa. Identical values were obtained for the reconstituted carrier whether it was irradiated before or after the formation of the proteoliposomes (161 +/- 9 and 159 +/- 11 kDa, respectively). The sodium-independent uptake of phosphate was not affected significantly by radiation doses up to 10 Mrad. This activity is therefore not due to the reconstitution of a large phosphate-binding protein such as alkaline phosphatase. Furthermore, bromotetramisole, a specific inhibitor of phosphate binding to this enzyme, had no significant effect on the uptake of phosphate by the proteoliposomes.
