Fig. 6. Effect of intravesicular pH on 36Cl– influx
kinetics in hepatopancreatic LMV. In both instances extravesicular pH was held
at 7.0. Vesicles were loaded with 200 mmol l–1 mannitol and
20 mmol l–1 Hepes/Tris, pH 7.0 (A) or pH 9.0 (B). Loaded
vesicles were then incubated in media containing 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 75 mmol
l–1 K36Cl–, 20 mmol
l–1 Hepes/Tris, pH 7.0, and mannitol to maintain osmolarity.
The experiment was repeated in triplicate; values are means ± 1 s.e.m.
The sigmoidal curves were drawn through the data using Sigma Plot software
(Jandal).
