The neutral and basic amino acid transport protein (NBAT) expressed in renal and jejunal brush-border membranes is involved in amino acid and cystine absorption. NBAT mutations result in Type 1 cystinuria. A C-terminal myc-tagged NBAT (NBATmyc) retains the amino acid transport and protein-protein interaction properties of NBAT when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Neutral amino acid (Ala, Phe)-cationic amino acid (Arg) heteroexchanges related to NBATmyc expression in oocytes are inactivated by treatment with the thiol-group reagent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), although significant Arg-Arg and Ala-Ala homoexchanges persist. Inactivation of heteroexchange activity by NEM is accompanied by loss of >85% of alanine and cystine uptake, with smaller (
