Materials and MethodsCells and Ghost Preparation. Fresh erythrocytes from rabbits or a human donor (A. S. Verkman) were obtained by venipuncture and anticoagulated with heparin. Cells were washed twice, and the erythrocyte pellet was suspended in 140 mM NaCl-5 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4 (PBS), for stopped-flow measurements. Red cell ghosts were prepared from washed erythrocytes by a modification of the procedure of Steck and Kant (1974). Cells were lysed and washed three times in 5 mM sodium phosphate (pH 8.0), suspended in PBS, and sealed by a 60-min incubation at 37 C. Stopped-Flow Measurements. Osmotic water permeability was measured by stopped-flow 90 light scattering (510 nm) in a Hi-Tech SF-51 apparatus (Wiltshire, England). A sus-pension of erythrocytes (—0.25% hematocrit) or sealed ghost membranes (^—0.5 mg of protein/mL) was mixed with an equal volume of hyperosmotic PBS containing sucrose to cause osmotic water efflux and increased light scattering. P (was calculated from the time course of light scattering and erythrocyte surface-to-volume ratio as described previously (Dix et al., 1985). In some experiments water transport inhibitors were incubated with erythrocytes for specified times prior to stopped-flow measurements. The mercurials pCMBS, pCMB, and HgCl2 were prepared immediately before use and shielded from light duringincubations. Amiloride and phlo-retin were added from stock solutions in ethanol. Oocyte Expression Studies. mRNA was prepared from rabbit reticulocytes as described previously (Zhang et al.,
