Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
When expressed in Xenopus oocytes KAAT1 increases tenfold the transport of L-leucine. Substitution of NaCl with 100 mM LiCl, RbCl or KCl allows a reduced but significant activation of L-leucine uptakes. Chloride-dependence is not strict since other pseudo-halide anions such as thyocyanate are accepted. KAAT1 is highly sensitive to pH. It can transport L-leucine at pH 5.5 and 8, but the maximum uptake has been observed at pH 10, near to the physiological pH value, when amino and carboxylic groups are both deprotonated. The pH value mainly influences the V(max) in Na activation curves and L-leucine kinetics. The kinetic parameters are K(mNa) = 4.6 ± 2 mM, V(maxNa) = 14.8 ± 1.7 pmol/oocyte/5 min for pH 8.0 and K(mNa) = 2.8 ± 0.7 mM, V(maxNa) = 31.3 ± 1.9 pmol/oocyte/5 min for pH 10.0. The kinetic parameters of L-leucine uptake are: K(m) = 120.4 ± 24.2 μM, V(max) = 23.2 ± 1.4 pmol/oocyte/5 min at pH 8.0 and K(m) = 81.3 ± 24.2 μM, V(max) = 65.6 ± 3.9 pmol/oocyte/5 min at pH 10.0. On the basis of inhibition experiments, the structural features required for KAAT1 substrates are: (i) a carboxylic group, (ii) an unsubstituted α-amino group, (iii) the side chain is unnecessary, if present it should be uncharged regardless of length and ramification.
