The uptake and efflux of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (3',5'-cAMP) by Escherichia coli membrane vesicles were studied. Metabolic energy was not required for the uptake process and was found to actually decrease the amount of 3',5'-cAMP found in the vesicles. 3',5'-cAMP uptake exhibits saturation kinetics (Km = 10 mM, Vmax = 2.8 nmol/mg of protein per min) and was competitively inhibited by a number of 3',5'-cAMP analogs. The uptake of 3',5'-cAMP was found to be sharply affected by a membrane phase transition. The excretion of 3',5'-cAMP was studied by using everted membrane vesicles. Efflux in this system was dependent upon metabolic energy and was reduced or abolished by uncouplers. Different energy sources powered efflux at different rates, showing a relationship between the degree of membrane energization and rate of excretion of 3',5'-cAMP. The efflux process also displayed saturation kinetics (Km = 10.0 mM, Vmax = 0.98 nmol/mg of protein per min) and was competitively inhibited by the same 3',5'-cAMP analogs and to the same degree as was the uptake process. 3',5'-cAMP was found to be chemically unaltered by both the uptake and excretion processes. These data are interpreted as showing that the uptake and excretion of 3',5'-cAMP in E. coli membrane vesicles are carrier-mediated phenomena, possibly employing the same carrier system. Uptake is by facilitated diffusion whereas efflux is via an energy-dependent, active transport process. Evidence is presented showing that cells can regulate the number of 3',5'-cAMP transport carriers. The rate of 3',5'-cAMP excretion is possibly regulated by both the degree of membrane energization and the number of carriers present per cells.
