RESUMO
The increase in glucose transport that occurs when chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) are transformed by src is associated with an increase in the amount of type 1 glucose transporter protein, and we have previously shown that this effect is due to a decrease in the degradation rate of this protein. The rate of CEF type 1 glucose transporter biosynthesis and the level of its mRNA are unaffected by src transformation. To study the molecular basis of this phenomenon, we have been isolating chicken glucose transporter cDNAs by hybridization to a rat type 1 glucose transporter probe at low stringency. Surprisingly, these clones corresponded to a message encoding a protein which has most sequence similarity to the human type 3 glucose transporter and which we refer to as CEF-GT3. CEF-GT3 is clearly distinct from the CEF type 1 transporter that we have previously described. Northern (RNA) analysis of CEF RNA with CEF-GT3 cDNA revealed two messages of 1.7 and 3.3 kb which were both greatly induced by src transformation. When the CEF-GT3 cDNA was expressed in rat fibroblasts, a three-to fourfold enhancement of 2-deoxyglucose uptake was observed, indicating that CEF-GT3 is a functional glucose transporter. Northern analyses using a CEF-GT3 and a rat type 1 probe demonstrated that there is no hybridization between different isoforms but that there is cross-species hybridization between the rat type 1 probe and the chicken homolog. Southern blot analyses confirmed that the chicken genomic type 1 and type 3 transporters are encoded by distinct genes. We conclude that CEFs express two types of transporter, type 1 (which we have previously reported to be regulated posttranslationally by src) and a novel type 3 isoform which, unlike type 1, shows mRNA induction upon src transformation. We conclude that src regulates glucose transport in CEFs simultaneously by two different mechanisms.
