Iron uptake by brush border membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit small intestine was studied using a rapid filtration technique. Special attention was directed at avoiding hydrolysis of iron at Fe(III) and oxidation of iron at Fe(II). Uptake of Fe(III) was studied from media containing ferric citrate with a 1000-fold molar excess of citrate to iron, calculated to be sufficient to prevent simple hydrolysis and polynuclear complex formation. Fe(III) bound to the mucosal membranes in a temperature-dependent and saturable fashion. Transport into the intravesicular space, however, could not be demonstrated. Fe(III) uptake was almost identical after heat denaturation of membrane proteins, which probably rules out the involvement of a specific protein receptor. Membrane binding of Fe(III) was higher when media with a lower pH were used and when there was only a 20-fold molar excess of citrate to iron. The major part of the55Fe(III) is bound to the membranes very strongly, and cannot be removed by washing with excess unlabeled Fe(III). Under similar experimental conditions uptake of Fe(II), from a medium with a 20-fold molar excess of ascorbate to iron, was several hundred times higher than that of Fe(III). Again, there was no difference between the uptake of Fe(II) by normal or boiled vesicles. In contrast to results with Fe(III), however, uptake of Fe(II) into an osmotic space could be demonstrated. The large amount of Fe(II) transported may be explained by assuming an intravesicular iron trap, possibly provided by oxidation and hydrolysis in the vesicular lumen. Our findings indicate that the uptake of iron by microvillous membrane vesicles probably entails both binding and simple diffusion.
