The mechanism of aldosterone uptake in the epithelial cells of toad bladder was studied using mathematical modeling. Two complementary approaches were used. The first involved analysis of cytosolic aldosterone binding at steady state according to models defined by the sum of independent noninteractive binding sites. The best model describing the experimental data corresponded to two specific binding sites with mean dissociation constant values of 0.20 and 60 nM for types 1 and 2, respectively. The second approach was based on the analysis of cytoplasmic and nuclear aldosterone uptake kinetics at 25 and 0 degrees C in intact bladder. Two models (A and B) were studied. They both implied the existence of two types of aldosterone binding sites as precursors of the corresponding chromatin bound complexes. In model A, nuclear translocation of the two types of receptors was assumed to obey first-order kinetics. In model B, the translocation process for type 1 sites involved a time lag leading to delayed binding to chromatin. Both models were found to fit the experimental data satisfactorily. The fit obtained for model B appeared to be better at low aldosterone concentrations.
