The cation specificity and possible exchange modes of the Na+:CO3(2-):HCO3- cotransporter were evaluated by use of basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit renal cortex. External Li+ inhibited HCO3- gradient-stimulated 22Na uptake, indicating that Li+ interacts with the Na+:CO3(2-):HCO3- cotransporter. No interaction with K+, choline, Rb+, Cs+, or NH4+ could be similarly detected. Imposing an outward Li+ gradient caused quenching of acridine orange fluorescence in the presence but not in the absence of HCO3-, suggesting that Li+:base cotransport takes place via the Na+:CO3(2-):HCO3- cotransporter. Imposing an outward gradient of unlabeled Na+ stimulated the initial rate of 22Na uptake and induced its transient uphill accumulation, indicating Na(+)-Na+ exchange. Na(+)-Na+ exchange was observed in the presence but not in the absence of HCO3- and was inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), suggesting that it occurs via the Na+:CO3(2-):HCO3- cotransporter. Similarly, an outward Li+ gradient stimulated uphill 22Na accumulation, indicating Na(+)-Li+ exchange. Na(+)-Li+ exchange was observed in the presence but not in the absence of HCO3-, and was inhibited by DIDS, suggesting that it also occurs via the Na+:CO3(2-):HCO3- cotransporter. Both Na(+)-Na+ and Li(+)-Na+ exchange modes were sensitive to inhibition by harmaline but not by amiloride. We conclude that Li+ is an alternative substrate for the renal Na+:CO3(2-):HCO3- cotransporter. Transport modes of the system include cation:base cotransport and HCO3-dependent cation-cation exchange.
