A number of human diseases involve defects in metal ion uptake and disposal, including anemia, haemochromatosis, Menkes disease and Wilson's disease. Even some infectious diseases may have associations to metal ion transporters. This recent review concentrates on metal ion trafficking and roles.

These authors have isolated two vitamin C transporters from the rat, named SVCT1 and SVCT2. These proteins, of which SVCT1 is expressed in the intestine, kidneys and liver, are high-affinity Na-dependent L-ascorbic acid transporters.

Association of HFE protein with transferrin receptor in crypt enterocytes of human duodenum. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 96:1999;1579-1584. The HFE protein defective in hemochromatosis is normally expressed in crypt enterocytes of the duodenum. The HFE protein may modulate the uptake of transferrin-bound iron from plasma and impairment of this function may lead enterocytes to absorb more dietary iron.

Increased NRAMP-2 mRNA expression in duodenal mucosa in hereditary haemochromatosis supports the idea of duodenal iron uptake and lead to iron overload.

Hephaestin, a ceruloplasmin homologue implicated in intestinal iron transport, is defective in the sla mouse. Nat Genet. 21:1999;195-199. Mice carrying the sex-linked anaemia mutation (sla) develop microcytic hypochromic anaemia. In sla, iron accumulates in enterocytes because of mutations in a transmembrane-bound ceruloplasmin homologue, hephaestin.

Hum Mol Genet. 8:1999;2107-2115. This group studied the distribution of MNK, or ATP7A protein at the surface of living cells. The results suggest that copper stimulates exocytic movement of MNK to the plasma membrane. Mutation prevented the exocytic movement.

Nature. 397:1999;259-263. hTRPC6 and hTRPC3 seem to be non-selective cation channels that are activated by diacylglycerol independently of protein kinase C. They appear as secondary messenger operated cation channels activated by diacylglycerol.

J Biol Chem. 274:1999;22739-22746. Calcium is an essential component of bone and also an intracellular second messenger. Calcium transport protein (CaT1) was cloned from rat duodenum and is structurally related to the TRP family of ion channels. CaT1 transport is electrogenic, pH sensitive, voltage-dependent and uncoupled to other ions.

Identification of SLC7A7, encoding Y+Lat-1, as the lysinuric protein intolerance gene. Nat Genet. 21:1999;293-296. Lysinuric protein intolerance causes growth retardation, muscle hypotonia and hepatosplenomegaly. A novel dibasic amino-acid transporter is defective in this disorder, acting at the basolateral membrane of epithelial cells in small intestine. Mutations were found in Finnish and Spanish patients.

A new gene expressed in kidney, liver, small intestine and placenta can mediate the uptake of L-arginine in a cell model. Mutations were found in several populations in non-type I cystinuria patients.

Identification of the major intestinal fatty acid transport protein. Mol Cell. 4:1999;299-308. Fatty acid (FA) transport across the apical membrane of enterocytes in the small intestine is mediated by a novel protein designated FATP4. It seems to emerge as the principal fatty acid transporter in enterocytes.
