Status epilepticus is associated with sustained and elevated levels of cytosolic Ca(2+). To elucidate the mechanisms associated with changes of cytosolic Ca(2+) after status epilepticus, this study was initiated to evaluate the effect of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus on Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) ATPase-mediated Ca(2+) uptake in microsomes isolated from rat cortex, because the Ca(2+) uptake mechanism plays a major role in regulating intracellular Ca(2+) levels. The data demonstrated that the initial rate and overall Ca(2+) uptake in microsomes from pilocarpine treated animals were significantly inhibited compared with those in microsomes from saline-treated control animals. It was also shown that the inhibition of Ca(2+) uptake caused by status epilepticus was not an artifact of increased Ca(2+) release from microsomes, selective isolation of damaged microsomes from the homogenate, or decreased Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) ATPase protein in the microsomes. Pretreatment with the NMDA antagonist dizocilpine maleate blocked status epilepticus-induced inhibition of the initial rate and overall Ca(2+) uptake. The data suggest that inhibition of microsomal Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) ATPase Ca(2+) uptake is involved in NMDA-dependent deregulation of cytosolic Ca(2+) homeostasis associated with status epilepticus. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (2B3) directed against the calmodulin-binding (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-dependent ATPase from pig stomach smooth muscle was prepared. This antibody reacts with a 130,000-Mr protein that co-migrates on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with the calmodulin-binding (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase purified from smooth muscle by calmodulin affinity chromatography. The antibody causes partial inhibition of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity in plasma membranes from pig stomach smooth muscle, in pig erythrocytes and human erythrocytes. It appears to be directed against a specific functionally important site of the plasmalemmal Ca2+-transport ATPase and acts as a competitive inhibitor of ATP binding. Binding of the antibody does not change the Km of the ATPase for Ca2+ and its inhibitory effect is not altered by the presence of calmodulin. No inhibition of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity or of the oxalate-stimulated Ca2+ uptake was observed in a pig smooth-muscle vesicle preparation enriched in endoplasmic reticulum. These results confirm the existence in smooth muscle of two different types of Ca2+-transport ATPase: a calmodulin-binding (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase located in the plasma membrane and a second one confined to the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

SERCA1a, the fast-twitch skeletal muscle isoform of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, was expressed in yeast using the promoter of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Golgi PMR1 Ca(2+)-ATPase and the vacuole PMC1 Ca(2+)-ATPase function together in Ca2+ sequestration and Ca2+ tolerance. SERCA1a expression restored growth of pmc1 mutants in media containing high Ca2+ concentrations, consistent with increased Ca2+ uptake in an internal compartment. SERCA1a expression also prevented synthetic lethality of pmr1 pmc1 double mutants on standard media. Electron microscopy and subcellular fractionation analysis showed that SERCA1a was localized in intracellular membranes derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. Finally, we found that SERCA1a ATPase activity expressed in yeast was regulated by calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase. This result indicates that calcineurin contributes to calcium homeostasis by modulating the ATPase activity of Ca2+ pumps localized in intra-cellular compartments. 相似文献

Antibodies directed against the purified calmodulin-binding (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase [(Ca2+ + Mg2+)-dependent ATPase] from pig erythrocytes and from smooth muscle of pig stomach (antral part) were raised in rabbits. Both the IgGs against the erythrocyte (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and against the smooth-muscle (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase inhibited the activity of the purified calmodulin-binding (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from smooth muscle. Up to 85% of the total (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity in a preparation of KCl-extracted smooth-muscle membranes was inhibited by these antibodies. The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity and the Ca2+ uptake in a plasma-membrane-enriched fraction from this smooth muscle were inhibited to the same extent, whereas in an endoplasmic-reticulum-enriched membrane fraction the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity was inhibited by only 25% and no effect was observed on the oxalate-stimulated Ca2+ uptake. This supports the hypothesis that, in pig stomach smooth muscle, two separate types of Ca2+-transport ATPase exist: a calmodulin-binding ATPase located in the plasma membrane and a calmodulin-independent one present in the endoplasmic reticulum. The antibodies did not affect the stimulation of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity by calmodulin. 相似文献

Rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes, purified from isolated rat pancreatic acini stimulated by carbachol, had a decreased Ca2+ content and increased (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity. Ca2+ was regained and ATPase activity reduced to control levels only after blockade by atropine. The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was activated by free Ca2+ (half-maximal at 0.17 microM; maximal at 0.7 microM) over the concentration range which occurs in the cell cytoplasm. Pretreatment with EGTA, at a high concentration (5 mM), inhibited ATPase activity which, our results suggest, was due to removal of a bound activator such as calmodulin. The rate of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase actively declined during the 10-min period over which maximal active accumulation of Ca2+ by membrane vesicles occurs. In the presence of ionophore A23187, which released actively accumulated Ca2+ and stimulated the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, this time-dependent decline in activity was not observed. Our data provide evidence that the activity of the Ca2+-transporting ATPase of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is regulated by both extra and intravesicular Ca2+ and is consistent with a direct role of this enzyme in the release and uptake of Ca2+ during cholinergic stimulation of pancreatic acinar cells. 相似文献

The functional confirmation of availability of Ca2+ transport initially-active systems in the embryo cells of loach Misgurnus fossilis L. has been obtained. Using thapsigargin, the specific inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum of Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase, this enzyme activity was divided into thapsigargin-sensitive (actually endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase) and thapsigargin-insensitive (plasma membrane Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase) constituents. The Ca(2+)-independent Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity makes above 39.7% of the common Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity of embryo loach. The periodic changes of Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity (except for the changes of plasma membrane Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity) were found out, which coincide with periodic [Ca2+]i oscillations during the synchronous divisions of loach blastomers embryos. 相似文献

Subcellular fractionation of pig stomach smooth muscle. A study of the distribution of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity in plasmalemma and endoplasmic reticulum 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Isolated membrane vesicles from pig stomach smooth muscle (antral part) were subfractionated by a density gradient procedure modified in order to obtain an efficient extraction of extrinsic proteins. By using this method in combination with digitonin-treatment, an endoplasmic reticulum fraction contaminated with maximally 10 to 20% of plasma membranes was isolated, together with a plasma membrane fraction containing at most 30% endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane fractions differed in protein composition, reaction to digitonin, binding of wheat germ agglutinin, activities of marker enzymes and in the characteristics of the Ca2+ uptake. The Ca2+ uptake by the endoplasmic reticulum was much more stimulated by oxalate than the uptake by plasma membranes. Both fractions showed a (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity, but the largest amount of this enzyme was present in the plasma membranes. The study of the phosphorylated intermediates of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed two phosphoproteins one of 130 kDa and one of 100 kDa (Wuytack, F., Raeymaekers, L., De Schutter, G. and Casteels, R. (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 693, 45-52). The 130 kDa enzyme was predominant in the fraction enriched in plasma membrane whereas the distribution of the 100 kDa polypeptide correlated with the endoplasmic reticulum markers. The 130 kDa ATPase was the main 125I-calmodulin binding protein detected on nitrocellulose blots of proteins separated by gel electrophoresis. The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity of the plasma membranes was higher than the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, suggesting that the Ca2+ extrusion from these cells depends much more on the activity of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase than on Na+-Ca2+ exchange. 相似文献

Total membrane vesicles isolated from Tritrichomonas foetus showed an ATP-dependent Ca(2+) uptake, which was not sensitive to 10 microM protonophore FCCP but was blocked by orthovanadate, the inhibitor of P-type ATPases (I(50)=130 microM), and by the Ca(2+)/H(+) exchanger, A-23187. The Ca(2+) uptake was prevented also by thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the SERCA Ca(2+)-ATPases. The sensitivity of the Ca(2+) uptake by the protozoan membrane vesicles to thapsigargin was similar to that of Ca(2+)-ATPase from rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. Fractionation of the total membrane vesicles in sucrose density gradient revealed a considerable peak of Ca(2+) transport activity that co-migrated with the Golgi marker guanosine diphosphatase (GDPase). Electron microscopy confirmed that membrane fractions of the peak were enriched with the Golgi membranes. The Golgi Ca(2+)-ATPase contributed to the Ca(2+) uptake by all membrane vesicles 80-85%. We conclude that: (i) the Golgi and/or Golgi-like vesicles form the main Ca(2+) store compartment in T. foetus; (ii) Ca(2+) ATPase is responsible for the Ca(2+) sequestering in this protozoan, while Ca(2+)/H(+) antiporter is not involved in the process; (iii) the Golgi pump of this ancient eukaryotic microorganism appears to be similar to the enzymes of the SERCA family by its sensitivity to thapsigargin. 相似文献

Agonist stimulation of exocrine cells leads to the generation of intracellular Ca(2+) signals driven by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) that rapidly become global due to propagation throughout the cell. In many types of excitable cells the intracellular Ca(2+) signal is propagated by a mechanism of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR), mediated by ryanodine receptors (RyRs). Expression of RyRs in salivary gland cells has been demonstrated immunocytochemically although their functional role is not clear. We used microfluorimetry to measure Ca(2+) signals in the cytoplasm, in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and in mitochondria. In permeabilized acinar cells caffeine induced a dose-dependent, transient decrease of Ca(2+) concentration in the endoplasmic reticulum ([Ca(2+)](ER)). This decrease was inhibited by ryanodine but was insensitive to heparin. Application of caffeine, however, did not elevate cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) suggesting fast local buffering of Ca(2+) released through RyRs. Indeed, activation of RyRs produced a robust mitochondrial Ca(2+) transient that was prevented by addition of Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA but not EGTA. When mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake was blocked, activation of RyRs evoked only a non-transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and substantially smaller Ca(2+) release from the ER. Upon simultaneous inhibition of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and either plasmalemmal or ER Ca(2+) ATPase, activation of RyRs caused a transient rise in [Ca(2+)](i). Collectively, our data suggest that Ca(2+) released through RyRs is mostly "tunnelled" to mitochondria, while Ca(2+) ATPases are responsible for the fast initial sequestration of Ca(2+). Ca(2+) uptake by mitochondria is critical for maintaining continuous CICR. A complex interplay between RyRs, mitochondria and Ca(2+) ATPases is accomplished through strategic positioning of mitochondria close to both Ca(2+) release sites in the ER and Ca(2+) pumping sites of the plasmalemma and the ER. 相似文献

Trypanosomatids of the genus Herpetomonas comprises monoxenic parasites of insects that present pro- and opisthomastigotes forms in their life cycles. In this study, we investigated the Ca(2+) transport and the mitochondrial bioenergetic of digitonin-permeabilized Herpetomonas sp. promastigotes. The response of promastigotes mitochondrial membrane potential to ADP, oligomycin, Ca(2+), and antimycin A indicates that these mitochondria behave similarly to vertebrate and Trypanosoma cruzi mitochondria regarding the properties of their electrochemical proton gradient. Ca(2+) transport by permeabilized cells appears to be performed mainly by the mitochondria. Unlike T. cruzi, it was not possible to observe Ca(2+) release from Herpetomonas sp. mitochondria, probably due to the simultaneous Ca(2+) uptake by the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, a vanadate-sensitive Ca(2+) transport system, attributed to the endoplasmic reticulum, was also detected. Nigericin (1 microM), FCCP (1 microM), or bafilomycin A(1) (5 microM) had no effect on the vanadate-sensitive Ca(2+) transport. These data suggest the absence of a Ca(2+) transport mediated by a Ca(2+)/H(+) antiport. No evidence of a third Ca(2+) compartment with the characteristics of the acidocalcisomes described by A. E. Vercesi et al. (1994, Biochem. J. 304, 227-233) was observed. Thapsigargin and IP(3) were not able to affect the vanadate-sensitive Ca(2+) transport. Ruthenium red was able to inhibit the Ca(2+) uniport of mitochondria, inducing a slow mitochondrial Ca(2+) efflux, compatible with the presence of a Ca(2+)/H(+) antiport. Moreover, this efflux was not stimulated by the addition of NaCl, which suggests the absence of a Ca(2+)/Na(+) antiport in mitochondria. 相似文献

Chronic inhibition of cortex microsomal Mg2+ /Ca2+ ATPase-mediated Ca2+ uptake in the rat pilocarpine model following epileptogenesis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

In the rat pilocarpine model, 1 h of status epilepticus caused significant inhibition of Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) ATPase-mediated Ca(2+) uptake in cortex endoplasmic reticulum (microsomes) isolated immediately after the status episode. The rat pilocarpine model is also an established model of acquired epilepsy. Several weeks after the initial status epilepticus episode, the rats develop spontaneous recurrent seizures, or epilepsy. To determine whether inhibition of Ca(2+) uptake persists after the establishment of epilepsy, Ca(2+) uptake was studied in cortical microsomes isolated from rats displaying spontaneous recurrent seizures for 1 year. The initial rate and total Ca(2+) uptake in microsomes from epileptic animals remained significantly inhibited 1 year after the expression of epilepsy compared to age-matched controls. The inhibition of Ca(2+) uptake was not due to individual seizures nor an artifact of increased Ca(2+) release from epileptic microsomes. In addition, the decreased Ca(2+) uptake was not due to either selective isolation of damaged epileptic microsomes from the homogenate or decreased Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) ATPase protein in the epileptic microsomes. The data demonstrate that inhibition of microsomal Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) ATPase-mediated Ca(2+) uptake in the pilocarpine model may underlie some of the long-term plasticity changes associated with epileptogenesis. 相似文献

Bcl-2 enhances Ca(2+) signaling to support the intrinsic regenerative capacity of CNS axons 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

At a certain point in development, axons in the mammalian CNS undergo a profound loss of intrinsic growth capacity, which leads to poor regeneration after injury. Overexpression of Bcl-2 prevents this loss, but the molecular basis of this effect remains unclear. Here, we report that Bcl-2 supports axonal growth by enhancing intracellular Ca(2+) signaling and activating cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and extracellular-regulated kinase (Erk), which stimulate the regenerative response and neuritogenesis. Expression of Bcl-2 decreases endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) uptake and storage, and thereby leads to a larger intracellular Ca(2+) response induced by Ca(2+) influx or axotomy in Bcl-2-expressing neurons than in control neurons. Bcl-x(L), an antiapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that does not affect ER Ca(2+) uptake, supports neuronal survival but cannot activate CREB and Erk or promote axon regeneration. These results suggest a novel role for ER Ca(2+) in the regulation of neuronal response to injury and define a dedicated signaling event through which Bcl-2 supports CNS regeneration. 相似文献

Repetitive Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is necessary for activation of mammalian eggs. Influx and release of Mn(2+) and Ca(2+) during Ca(2+) oscillations induced by injection of sperm extract (SE) into mouse eggs were investigated by Mn(2+)-quenching of intracellular Fura-2 after adding Mn(2+) to external medium. Mn(2+)/Ca(2+) influx was detected at the resting state. A marked Mn(2+)/Ca(2+) influx occurred during the first Ca(2+) release upon SE injection, and persistently facilitated Mn(2+)/Ca(2+) influx was observed during steady Ca(2+) oscillations. As intracellular Mn(2+) concentration ([Mn(2+)](i)) increased progressively, periodic [Mn(2+)](i) rises appeared, corresponding to each Ca(2+)transient but taking a slower time course. A numerical simulation based on continuous Mn(2+)/Ca(2+) influx-extrusion across the plasma membrane and release-uptake across the ER membrane in a competitive manner mimicked well the Mn(2+) oscillations calculated from experimental data, strongly suggesting that repetitive Mn(2+) release develops after Mn(2+) entry and uptake into the ER. In other experiments, a marked Mn(2+) influx occurred upon Mn(2+) addition to Ca(2+)-free medium after depletion of the ER using an ER Ca(2+) pump inhibitor plus repeated injection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)). No significant increase in Mn(2+) influx was induced by injection of SE, InsP(3), or Ca(2+), when Ca(2+) release was prevented by pre-injection of an antibody against the InsP(3) receptor. We concluded that Ca(2+) influx is activated during the initial large Ca(2+)release possibly by a capacitative mechanism and kept facilitated during steady Ca(2+) oscillations. The finding that repetitive Mn(2+) release is caused by continuous Mn(2+) entry suggests that continuous Ca(2+) influx may play a critical role in refilling the ER and, thereby, maintaining Ca(2+)oscillations in mammalian fertilization. 相似文献

In cultured rat dorsal root ganglia neurons, we measured membrane currents, using the patch-clamp whole-cell technique, and the concentrations of free Ca(2+) in the cytosol ([Ca(2+)](i)) and in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ([Ca(2+)](L)), using high- (Fluo-3) and low- (Mag-Fura-2) affinity Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent probes and video imaging. Resting [Ca(2+)](L) concentration varied between 60 and 270 microM. Activation of ryanodine receptors by caffeine triggered a rapid fall in [Ca(2+)](L) levels, which amounted to only 40--50% of the resting [Ca(2+)](L) value. Using electrophysiological depolarization, we directly demonstrate the process of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release triggered by Ca(2+) entry through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. The amplitude of Ca(2+) release from the ER lumen was linearly dependent on I(Ca). 相似文献

In sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles or in the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum, quercetin inhibited ATP hydrolysis, Ca2+ uptake, ATP-Pi exchange, ATP synthesis coupled to Ca2+ efflux, ATP-ADP exchange, and steady state phosphorylation of the ATPase by inorganic phosphate. Steady state phosphorylation of the ATPase by ATP was not inhibited. Quercetin also inhibited ATP and ADP binding but not the binding of Ca2+. The inhibition of ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport by quercetin was reversible, and ATP, Ca2+, and dithiothreitol did not affect the inhibitory action of quercetin. 相似文献

Regulation of nucleoplasmic calcium (Ca(2+)) concentration may occur by the mobilization of perinuclear luminal Ca(2+)pools involving specific Ca(2+)pumps and channels of both inner and outer perinuclear membranes. To determine the role of perinuclear luminal Ca(2+), we examined freshly cultured 10 day-old embryonic chick ventricular cardiomyocytes. We obtained evidence suggesting the existence of the molecular machinery required for the bi-directional Ca(2+)fluxes using confocal imaging techniques. Embryonic cardiomyocytes were probed with antibodies specific for ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+)channels (RyR2), sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPase (SERCA2)-pumps, and fluorescent BODIPY derivatives of ryanodine and thapsigargin. Using immunocytochemistry techniques, confocal imaging showed the presence of RyR2 Ca(2+)channels and SERCA2-pumps highly localized to regions surrounding the nucleus, referable to the nuclear envelope. Results obtained from Fluo-3, AM loaded ionomycin-perforated embryonic cardiomyocytes demonstrated that gradual increases of extranuclear Ca(2+)from 100 to 1600 nM Ca(2+)was localized to the nucleus. SERCA2-pump inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid showed a concentration-dependent inhibition of nuclear Ca(2+)loading. Furthermore, ryanodine demonstrated a biphasic concentration-dependence upon active nuclear Ca(2+)loading. The concomitant addition of thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid with ryanodine at inhibitory concentrations caused an significant increase in nuclear Ca(2+)loading at low concentrations of extranuclear added Ca(2+). Our results show that the perinuclear lumen in embryonic chick ventricular cardiomyocytes is capable of autonomously regulating nucleoplasmic Ca(2+)fluxes. 相似文献

The involvement of membrane protein in dystrophic chicken fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum alterations has been examined. A purified preparation of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase protein from dystrophic fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum was found to have a reduced calcium-sensitive ATPase activity and phosphoenzyme level, in agreement with alterations found in dystrophic chicken fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum. An amino acid analysis of the ATPase preparations showed no difference in the normal and dystrophic (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was investigated further by isoelectric focusing and proteolytic digestion of the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum. Neither of these methods indicated any alteration in the composition of the dystrophic (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. We have concluded that the alterations observed in dystrophic fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum are not due to increased amounts of non-(Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase protein, and that the normal and dystrophic (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase protein are not detectably different. 相似文献

Calcium is a crucial regulator of many physiological processes such as cell growth, division, differentiation, cell death and apoptosis. In this study, we examined the effect of cGMP on agonist-induced [Ca(2+)](i) transient in isolated rat aortic endothelial cells. 100 microM ATP was applied to the cells bathed in a Ca(2+)-free physiological solution to induce a [Ca(2+)](i) transient that was caused by Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores. cGMP, which was applied after [Ca(2+)](i) reached its peak level, accelerated the falling phase of [Ca(2+)](i) transient. Pre-treatment of the cells with CPA abolished the accelerating effect of cGMP on the falling phase of [Ca(2+)](i) transient. The effect of cGMP was reversed by KT5823, a highly specific inhibitor of protein kinase G. Taken together, these data suggest that cGMP may reduce [Ca(2+)](i) level by promoting Ca(2+) uptake through sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase and that the effect of cGMP may be mediated by protein kinase G. 相似文献

A fast passive Ca2+ efflux mediated by the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase in reconstituted vesicles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was reconstituted into phospholipid bilayers. The permeability of lipid bilayers to Co2+ and glucose was increased slightly by incorporation of the ATPase, and the permeability of mixed bilayers of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine increased with increasing content of phosphatidylethanolamine both in the presence and absence of the ATPase. The presence of the ATPase, however, resulted in a marked increase in permeability to Ca2+, the permeability decreasing with increasing phosphatidylethanolamine content. Permeability to Ca2+ was found to be dependent on pH and the external concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+, was stimulated by adenine nucleotides but was unaffected by inositol trisphosphate. A kinetic model is presented for Ca2+ efflux mediated by the ATPase. It is shown that the kinetic parameters that describe Ca2+ efflux from vesicles of sarcoplasmic reticulum also describe efflux from the vesicles reconstituted from the purified ATPase and phosphatidylcholine. It is shown that the effects of phosphatidylethanolamine on efflux can be simulated in terms of changes in the rates of the transitions linking conformations of the ATPase with inward- and outward-facing Ca2+-binding sites, and that effects of phosphatidylethanolamine on the ATPase activity of the ATPase can also be simulated in terms of effects on the corresponding conformational transitions. We conclude that the ATPase can act as a specific pathway for Ca2+ efflux from sarcoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

The dependence of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles upon the concentration of pentobarbital shows a biphasic pattern. Concentrations of pentobarbital ranging from 2 to 8 mM produce a slight stimulation, approximately 20-30%, of the ATPase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles made leaky to Ca2+, whereas pentobarbital concentrations above 10 mM strongly inhibit the activity. The purified ATPase shows a higher sensitivity to pentobarbital, namely 3-4-fold shift towards lower values of the K0.5 value of inhibition by this drug. These effects of pentobarbital are observed over a wide range of ATP concentrations. In addition, this drug shifts the Ca2+ dependence of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity towards higher values of free Ca2+ concentrations and increases several-fold the passive permeability to Ca2+ of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. At the concentrations of pentobarbital that inhibit this enzyme in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane, pentobarbital does not significantly alter the order parameter of these membranes as monitored with diphenylhexatriene, whereas the temperature of denaturation of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase is decreased by 4-5 C degrees, thus, indicating that the conformation of the ATPase is altered. The effects of pentobarbital on the intensity of the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum also support the hypothesis of a conformational change in the enzyme induced by millimolar concentrations of this drug. It is concluded that the inhibition of the sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase by pentobarbital is a consequence of its binding to hydrophobic binding sites in this enzyme. 相似文献
