The sodium/myo-inositol transporter 2 (SMIT2) is a member of the SLC5A gene family, which is believed to share the five-transmembrane segment inverted repeat of the LeuT structural family. The two-electrode voltage-clamp (TEVC) technique was used to measure the steady-state and the pre-steady-state currents mediated by human SMIT2 after expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Phlorizin is first shown to be a poor inhibitor of pre-steady-state currents for depolarizing voltage pulse. From an up to threefold difference between the apparent ON and OFF transferred charges during a voltage pulse, we also show that a fraction of the transient current recorded for very negative potentials is not a true pre-steady-state current coming from the cotransporter conformational changes. We suggest that this transient current comes from a time-dependent leak current that can reach large amplitudes when external Na(+) concentration is reduced. A kinetic model was generated through a simulated annealing algorithm. This algorithm was used to identify the optimal connectivity among 19 different kinetic models and obtain the numerical values of the associated parameters. The proposed 5-state model includes cooperative binding of Na(+) ions, strong apparent asymmetry of the energy barriers, a rate-limiting step that is likely associated with the translocation of the empty transporter, and a turnover rate of 21 s(-1). The proposed model is a proof of concept for a novel approach to kinetic modeling of electrogenic transporters and allows insight into the transport mechanism of members of the LeuT structural family at the millisecond timescale.
