The transport routes used by CCRF-CEM human lymphoblastoid cells for the influx and efflux of unconjugated pteridines were analyzed using [3H]6-hydroxy-methylpterin as a model compound. Influx proceeds by a mechanism that exhibits a Kmof 66.7 μMand a Vmaxof 0.077 nmol/min per mg cellular protein. The process is somewhat sensitive to metabolic inhibitors, particularly uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, and is significantly affected by the presence of other pteridines in the extracellular medium. The results suggest that pterins with either no 6-substituent (pterin) or those with methyl, hydroxyl, or formyl groups in this position, which exhibit Kivalues between 25 and 77 μM, may share the same pathway for uptake. 6-Carboxypterin exhibits low affinity for the system (Ki>500 μM), as do 7-substituted and 6,7-disubstituted derivatives and compounds with larger groups at the 6-position, such as neopterin and biopterin (Ki= 250–300 μM). Efflux of [3H]6-hydroxymethylpterin occurs rapidly and can proceed by at least two routes. The first, comprising approximately 50% of total efflux, is inhibited by extracellular pterins and exhibits similar properties to the uptake system in both its pattern of sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors and its specificity for pteridine structure. The route by which the remaining efflux occurs is relatively insensitive to metabolic inhibition. Adenine significantly inhibits 6-hydroxymethylpterin influx and efflux (Ki=10.6 μMfor uptake) but does not appear to share the same transport system. Similarly, methotrexate and folic acid exhibit little affinity for the unconjugated pteridine transport routes.
