DICARBOXYLATES ARE THE SUBSTRATES for oxidative phosphorylation, aka the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle. Some of these substrates are synthesized within cells. However, epithelia with high metabolic needs (eg, the small intestine and kidney) bring these substrates directly into cells. The plasma membrane of cells separates the outside world from the inside due to the hydrophobic core of this lipid bilayer. This latter property means that ions and solutes (for metabolism or otherwise) must be carried by a transporter protein through the environment. These transporters use either the energy of ATP hydrolysis or of the electrochemical gradient to accomplish this task. The Na-coupled dicarboxylate cotransporter (NaDC1, SLC13A2) is localized at the apical membrane of these epithelia (15, 19) and is responsible for renal and gut dicarboxylate as well as citrate (tricarboxylate) uptake. As expected, knocking out NaDC1 in mice causes elevated urinary citrate and other metabolites (7).In the average 70-kg human, cellular metabolism generates 70 mmol of acid (H). Urinary buffers such as citrate are also known as titratable acids because they can take on this H from metabolism. Ironically, this means that H acceptors are considered “bases.” The renal proximal tubule absorbs 70–90% of urinary citrate, which enters the nephron from the filtered blood. Proximal tubule metabolism of citrate results in intracellular HCO3, which either buffers intracellular pH or is absorbed into the blood via the electrogenic Na-HCO3 cotransporter (NBCe1-A)(4, 8, 18), leading to transepithelial NaHCO3 absorption. Acidosis stimulates HCO3 absorption but is also known to increase the amount of NaDC1 mRNA and protein (2) as well as NaDC1 activity (1, 6). Since citrate metabolism leads to HCO3 production and increases blood HCO3 concentration, acidosis decreases urinary citrate (increased NaDC1 activity¡ a decrease in citrate in the ultrafiltrate). Alkalosis reduces transepithelial HCO3 absorption by reducing basolateral HCO3 exit (via NBCe1-A). Alkalosis causes a pH increase of the proximal ultrafiltrate, and this elevated luminal pH decreases citrate absorption and enhances urinary citrate excretion (3, 9, 11, 20). Alkalosis (in opossum kidney cells) does seem to decrease NaDC1 cotransport of citrate but not succinate (1). This observation seems consistent: a decreasing H-citrate2 concentration (preferred dicarboxylate) and increasing citrate3 concentration (a tricarboxylate) as pH increases beyond 6.4 (pKa3 6.4; H-citrate2¡ H citrate3). This pH shift, thus results in less of the transported substrate (H-citrate2). That is, the proximal tubule responds by limiting citrate absorption, resulting in higher urinary citrate (3, 7).
