The existence of an endogenous Na+-glutamate cotransporter in the oocytes ofXenopus laevisis demonstrated. The transporter does not acceptd-glutamate as substrate. The dependence on substrate displays two saturating components with low (K1/2= 9mM) and high (K1/2= 0.35 μM) affinities forl-glutamate. The dependence on external Na+exhibits a saturating component with aK1/2value of about 5 mM and a component that has not saturated up to 110 mM Na+. In voltage-clamped oocytes, it is possible to demonstrate that Na+-dependentl-glutamate transport is directly coupled to countertransport of Rb+. The analysis of the voltage dependence of the Na+, K+-dependentl-glutamate uptake suggests that positive charges are moved inwardly during the transport cycle.
