Uptake of iodide in the marine haptophyte Isochrysis sp. (T.ISO) driven by iodide oxidation

Uptake of iodide was studied in the marine microalga Isochrysis sp. (isol. Haines, T.ISO) during short‐term incubations with radioactive iodide (125I−). Typical inhibitors of the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) did not inhibit iodide uptake, suggesting that iodide is not taken up through this transport protein, as is the case in most vertebrate animals. Oxidation of iodide was found to be an essential step for its uptake by T.ISO and it seemed likely that hypoiodous acid (HOI) was the form of iodine taken up. Uptake of iodide was inhibited by the addition of thiourea and of other reducing agents, like L‐ascorbic acid, L‐glutathione and L‐cysteine and increased after the addition of oxidized forms of the transition metals Fe and Mn. The simultaneous addition of both hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and a known iodide‐oxidizing myeloperoxidase (MPO) significantly increased iodine uptake, but the addition of H2O2 or MPO separately, had no effect on uptake. This confirms the observation that iodide is oxidized prior to uptake, but it puts into doubt the involvement of H2O2 excretion and membrane‐bound or extracellular haloperoxidase activity of T.ISO. The increase of iodide uptake by T.ISO upon Fe(III) addition suggests the nonenzymatic oxidation of iodide by Fe(III) in a redox reaction and subsequent influx of HOI. This is the first report on the mechanism of iodide uptake in a marine microalga.
