Summary Recently Plieth et al. [Protoplasma (1997) 198: 107–124; 199: 223] gave a quantitative picture of the Ca2+ and H+ buffers in green algae which we would like to comment. In that paper a mechanistic model was derived which describes the relationship between cytosolic Ca2+ and H+ assuming that Ca2+ and H+ interact with the same binding site of a Ca2+-H+-exchange buffer. But the increase of the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration observed upon acidification can alternatively be described by a co-operative (n=2) protonation of a Ca2+/H+-binding buffer pointing to an allosteric mechanism of Ca2+ liberation. Furthermore we present evidences that the cytosolic buffer capacities for H+ (90 mM/pH) and Ca2+ (20 mM/pCa) given for Eremosphaera viridis were overestimated by a factor of three and three orders of magnitude, respectively.Abbreviations [Ca2+]c

MthK is a Ca2+-gated K+ channel whose activity is inhibited by cytoplasmic H+. To determine possible mechanisms underlying the channel’s proton sensitivity and the relation between H+ inhibition and Ca2+-dependent gating, we recorded current through MthK channels incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. Each bilayer recording was obtained at up to six different [Ca2+] (ranging from nominally 0 to 30 mM) at a given [H+], in which the solutions bathing the cytoplasmic side of the channels were changed via a perfusion system to ensure complete solution exchanges. We observed a steep relation between [Ca2+] and open probability (Po), with a mean Hill coefficient (nH) of 9.9 ± 0.9. Neither the maximal Po (0.93 ± 0.005) nor nH changed significantly as a function of [H+] over pH ranging from 6.5 to 9.0. In addition, MthK channel activation in the nominal absence of Ca2+ was not H+ sensitive over pH ranging from 7.3 to 9.0. However, increasing [H+] raised the EC50 for Ca2+ activation by ∼4.7-fold per tenfold increase in [H+], displaying a linear relation between log(EC50) and log([H+]) (i.e., pH) over pH ranging from 6.5 to 9.0. Collectively, these results suggest that H+ binding does not directly modulate either the channel’s closed–open equilibrium or the allosteric coupling between Ca2+ binding and channel opening. We can account for the Ca2+ activation and proton sensitivity of MthK gating quantitatively by assuming that Ca2+ allosterically activates MthK, whereas H+ opposes activation by destabilizing the binding of Ca2+. 相似文献

Summary Patch-clamp studies of cytoplasmic drops from the charophyteChara australis have previously revealed K+ channels combining high conductance (170 pS) with high selectivity for K+, which are voltage activated. The cation-selectivity sequence of the channel is shown here to be: K+>Rb+>NH

+
Na+ and Cl–. Divalent cytosolic ions reduce the K+ conductance of this channel and alter its K+ gating in a voltage-dependent manner. The order of blocking potency is Ba2+>Sr2+>Ca2+>Mg2+. The channel is activated by micromolar cytosolic Ca2+, an activation that is found to be only weakly voltage dependent. However, the concentration dependence of calcium activation is quite pronounced, having a Hill coefficient of three, equivalent to three bound Ca2+ needed to open the channel. The possible role of the Ca2+-activated K+ channel in the tonoplast ofChara is discussed. 相似文献

The influence of cytosolic pH (pHi) in controlling K+-channel activity and its interaction with cytosolic-free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was examined in stomatal guard cells ofVicia faba L. Intact guard cells were impaled with multibarrelled microelectrodes and K+-channel currents were recorded under voltage clamp while pHi or [Ca2+]i was monitored concurrently by fluorescence ratio photometry using the fluorescent dyes 2,7-bis (2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) and Fura-2. In 10 mM external K+ concentration, current through inward-rectifying K+ channels (IK,in) was evoked on stepping the membrane from a holding potential of –100 mV to voltages from –120 to –250 mV. Challenge with 0.3-30 mM Na+-butyrate and Na+-acetate outside imposed acid loads, lowering pHi from a mean resting value of 7.64 ± 0.03 (n = 25) to values from 7.5 to 6.7. The effect on pHi was independent of the weak acid used, and indicated a H+-buffering capacity which rose from 90 mM H+/pH unit near 7.5 to 160 mM H+/pH unit near pHi 7.0. With acid-going pHi, (IK,in) was promoted in scalar fashion, the current increasing in magnitude with the acid load, but without significant effect on the current relaxation kinetics at voltages negative of –150 mV or the voltage-dependence for channel gating. Washout of the weak acid was followed by transient rise in pHi lasting 3–5 min and was accompanied by a reduction in (IK,in) before recovery of the initial resting pHi and current amplitude. The pHi-sensitivity of the current was consistent with a single, titratable site for H+ binding with a pKa near 6.3. Acid pHi loads also affected current through the outward-rectifying K+ channels (IK,out) in a manner antiparallel to (IK,in) The effect on IK, out was also scalar, but showed an apparent pKa of 7.4 and was best accommodated by a cooperative binding of two H+. Parallel measurements showed that Na+-butyrate loads were generally without significant effect on [Ca2+]i, except when pHi was reduced to 7.0 and below. Extreme acid loads evoked reversible increases in [Ca2+]i in roughly half the cells measured, although the effect was generally delayed with respect to the time course of pHi changes and K+-channel responses. The action on [Ca2+]i coincided with a greater variability in (IK,in) stimulation evident at pHi values around 7.0 and below, and with negative displacements in the voltage-dependence of (IK,in) gating. These results distinguish the actions of pHi and [Ca2+]i in modulating (IK,in) they delimit the effect of pHi to changes in current amplitude without influence on the voltage-dependence of channel gating; and they support a role for pHi as a second messenger capable of acting in parallel with, but independent of [Ca2+]i in controlling the K+ channels.Abbreviations BCECF

Ca2+ pump and Ca2+/H+ antiporter in plasma membrane vesicles isolated by aqueous two-phase partitioning from corn leaves 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Summary Plasma membrane vesicles, which are mostly right side-out, were isolated from corn leaves by aqueous two-phase partitioning method. Characteristics of Ca2+ transport were investigated after preparing inside-out vesicles by Triton X-100 treatment.45Ca2+ transport was assayed by membrane filtration technique. Results showed that Ca2+ transport into the plasma membrane vesicles was Mg-ATP dependent. The active Ca2+ transport system had a high affinity for Ca2+(K

which is known to inhibit the H+ pump associated with the plasma membrane, canceled almost all of the Cl–-stimulated Ca2+ uptake. Furthermore, artificially imposed pH gradient (acid inside) caused Ca2+ uptake into the vesicles. These results suggest that the Cl–-stimulated Ca2+ uptake is caused by the efflux of H+ from the vesicles by the operation of Ca2+/H+ antiport system in the plasma membrane. In Cl–-free medium, H+ transport into the vesicles scarcely occurred and the addition of CCCP caused only a slight inhibition of the active Ca2+ uptake into the vesicles. These results suggest that two Ca2+ transport systems are operating in the plasma membrane from corn leaves, i.e., one is an ATP-dependent active Ca2+ transport system (Ca2+ pump) and the other is a Ca2+/H+ antiport system. Little difference in characteristics of Ca2+ transport was observed between the plasma membranes isolated from etiolated and green corn leaves. 相似文献

A Ca2+-ATPase and a Mg2+/H+-antiporter are present on tonoplast membranes from roots of Zea mays L. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The primary or secondary energized transport of Ca2+, Mg2+ and H+ into tonoplast membrane vesicles from roots of Zea mays L. seedlings was studied photometrically by using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Indo 1 and the pH indicator neutral red. The localization of an ATP-dependent, vanadate-sensitive Ca2+ pump on tonoplast-type vesicles was demonstrated by the co-migration of the Ca2+-pumping and tonoplast H+-pyrophosphatase (PPiase) activity on continuous sucrose density gradients. In ER-membrane fractions, only a low Ca2+-pumping activity could be detected. The ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake into tonoplast vesicles (using Ca2+ concentrations from 0.8–1 μM) was completely inhibited by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (1 μM) whereas the protonophore nigericin (1 μM) which eliminates ATP-dependent intravesicular H+ accumulation had no effect. Vanadate (IC50 = 43 μM) and diethylstilbesterol (IC50 = 5.2 μM) were potent inhibitors of this type of Ca2+ transport. The nucleotides GTP, UTP, ITP, and ADP gave 27%–50% of the ATP-dependent activity (K m = 0.41 mM). From these results, it was suggested that this ATP-dependent high-affinity Ca2+ transport mechanism is the only functioning Ca2+ transporter of the tonoplast under in-vivo conditions i.e. under the low cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. In contrast, the secondary energized Ca2+-transport mechanism of the tonoplast, the low-affinity Ca2+/H+-antiporter, which was reported to allow the uptake of Ca2+ in exchange for H+, functions chiefly as an Mg2+ transporter under physiological conditions because cytosolic Mg2+ is several orders of magnitude higher than the Ca2+ concentration. This conclusion was deduced from experiments showing that Mg2+ ions in a concentration range of 0.01 to 1 mM triggered a fast efflux of H+ from acid-loaded vesicles. Furthermore, the proton-pumping activity of the tonoplast H+-ATPase and H+-PPiase was found to be influenced by Ca2+ differently from and independently of the Mg2+ concentration. Calcium was a strong inhibitor for the H+-PPiase (IC50 = 18 μM, Hill coefficient nH = 1.7) but a weak one for the H+-ATPase (IC50 = 330 μM, nH = 1). From these results it is suggested that at the tonoplast membrane a functional interaction exists between (i) the Ca2+-and Mg2+-regulated H+-PPiase, (ii) the newly described high-affinity Ca2+-AT-Pase, (iii) the low-affinity Mg2+(Ca2+)/H+-antiporter and (iv) the H2+-ATPase. 相似文献

The release of H+ during the oxalate-supported Ca2+ uptake in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles is kinetically coincident with the initial phase of Ca2+ accumulation. The Ca2+ uptake is increased and the H+ release is decreased in the presence of KCl and other monovalent chloride salts as expected for a H+-monovalent cation exchange. The functioning of the Ca2+-pump is disturbed by the presence of potassium gluconate and, to a lesser extent, of choline chloride. These salts do not inhibit the ATPase activity of Ca2+-permeable vesicles, suggesting a charge imbalance inhibition which is specially relevant in the case of gluconate. Therefore, K+, and also Cl–, appear to be involved in secondary fluxes during the active accumulation of Ca2+. The microsomal preparation seems homogeneous with respect to the K+-channel, showing an apparent rate constant for K+ release of approximately 25 s–1 measured with the aid of86Rb+ tracer under equilibrium conditions. A Rb+ efflux, sensitive to Ca2+-ionophore, can be also detected during the active accumulation of Ca2+. The experimental data suggest that both monovalent cations and anions are involved in a charge compensation during the Ca2+ uptake and H+ release. Fluxes of these highly permeable ions would contribute to cancel the formation of a resting membrane potential through the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. 相似文献

The Ca2+ transport ATPase (SERCA) of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays an important role in muscle cytosolic signaling, as it stores Ca2+ in intracellular membrane bound compartments, thereby lowering cytosolic Ca2+ to induce relaxation. The stored Ca2+ is in turn released upon membrane excitation to trigger muscle contraction. SERCA is activated by high affinity binding of cytosolic Ca2+, whereupon ATP is utilized by formation of a phosphoenzyme intermediate, which undergoes protein conformational transitions yielding reduced affinity and vectorial translocation of bound Ca2+. We review here biochemical and biophysical evidence demonstrating that release of bound Ca2+ into the lumen of SR requires Ca2+/H+ exchange at the low affinity Ca2+ sites. Rise of lumenal Ca2+ above its dissociation constant from low affinity sites, or reduction of the H+ concentration by high pH, prevent Ca2+/H+ exchange. Under these conditions Ca2+ release into the lumen of SR is bypassed, and hydrolytic cleavage of phosphoenzyme may yield uncoupled ATPase cycles. We clarify how such Ca2+pump slippage does not occur within the time length of muscle twitches, but under special conditions and in special cells may contribute to thermogenesis. 相似文献

The fluorescent calcium probe, Fluo-3, AM was used to measure the intracellular calcium concentration in red blood cells (RBCs) of the teiid lizards Ameiva ameiva and Tupinambis merianae. The cytosolic [Ca2+] is maintained around 20nM and the cells contain membrane-bound Ca2+pools. One pool appears to be identifiable with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) inasmuch as addition of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase, SERCA, inhibitor thapsigargin induces an increase in cytosolic [Ca2+both in the presence and in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. In addition to the ER, an acidic compartment appears to be involved in Ca2+storage, as collapse of intracellular pHgradients by monensin, a Na+–H+exchanger, and nigericin, a K+–H+exchanger, induce the release of Ca2+from internal pools. A vacuolar H+pump, sensitive to NBD-Cl and bafilomycin appears to be necessary to load the acidic Ca2+pools. Finally, the purinergic agonist ATP triggers a rapid and transient increase of [Ca2+]cin the cells from both lizard species, mostly by mobilization of the cation from internal stores. 相似文献

The Na+/Ca2+ exchange system is the primary Ca2+ efflux mechanism in cardiac myocytes, and plays an important role in controlling the force of cardiac contraction. The exchanger protein contains 11 transmembrane segments plus a large hydrophilic domain between the 5th and 6th transmembrane segments; the transmembrane regions are reponsible for mediating ion translocation while the hydrophilic domain is responsible for regulation of activity. Exchange activity is regulated in vitro by interconversions between an active state and either of two inactive states. High concentrations of cytosolic Na+ or the absence of cytosolic Ca2+ promote the formation of the inactive states; phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)bisphosphate (or other negatively charged phospholipids) and cytosolic Ca2+ counteract the inactivation process. The importance of these mechanisms in regulating exchange activity under normal physiological conditions is uncertain. Exchanger function is also dependent upon cytoskeletal interactions, and the exchanger's location with respect to intracellular Ca2+-sequestering organelles. An understanding of the exchanger's function in normal cell physiology will require more detailed information on the proximity of the exchanger and other Ca2+-transporting proteins, their interactions with the cytoskeleton, and local concentrations of anionic phospholipids and transported ions. 相似文献

A rapid loss of accumulated Ca2+ is produced by addition of H+ to isolated heart mitochondria. The H+-dependent Ca+ efflux requires that either (a) the NAD(P)H pool of the mitochondrion be oxidized, or (b) the endogenous adenine nucleotides be depleted. The loss of Ca2+ is accompanied by swelling and loss of endogenous Mg2–. The rate of H+-dependent Ca2+ efflux depends on the amount of Ca2+ and Pi taken up and the extent of the pH drop imposed. In the absence of ruthenium red the H+-induced Ca2+-efflux is partially offset by a spontaneous re-accumulation of released Ca2+. The H+-induced Ca2+ efflux is inhibited when the Pi transporter is blocked withN-ethylmaleimide, is strongly opposed by oligomycin and exogenous adenine nucleotides (particularly ADP), and inhibited by nupercaine. The H+-dependent Ca2+ efflux is decreased markedly when Na+ replaces the K+ of the suspending medium or when the exogenous K+/H+ exchanger nigericin is present. These results suggest that the H+-dependent loss of accumulated Ca2+ results from relatively nonspecific changes in membrane permeability and is not a reflection of a Ca2+/H+ exchange reaction. 相似文献

Paramecium Na+ channels, which were Ca2+-calmodulin activated, were studied in the inside-out mode of patch clamp. After excision of the membrane patch, they were active in the presence of 10–5 to 10–3
m Ca2+ in the bath. They became much less active in the presence of 10–6
m Ca2+, and their activity subsided completely at 10–8
m Ca2+. A Hill plot showed a dissociation constant of 6 m for Ca2+ binding. This dissociation constant shifted to a submicromolar range in the presence of 1 mm Mg2+. The channels also exhibited a mild voltage dependence. When exposed to 10–8
m Ca2+ for an extended period of 2–4 min, channels were further inactivated even after bath Ca2+ was restored to 10–4
m. Whereas neither high voltage (+100 mV) nor high Ca2+ (10–3
m) was effective in reactivation of the inactive channels, addition of Paramecium wild-type calmodulin together with high Ca2+ to the bath restored channel activity without a requirement of additional Mg2+ and metabolites such as ATP. The channels reactivated by calmodulin had the same ion conductance, ion selectivity and Ca2+ sensitivity as those prior to inactivation. These inactivation and reactivation of the channels could be repeated, indicating that the direct calmodulin effect on the Na+ channel was reversible. Thus, calmodulin is a physiological factor critically required for Na+ channel activation, and is the Ca2+ sensor of the Na+-channel gating machinery.We thank C. Kung for his kind support, and A.

The cytoplasmic pH undergoes a biphasic change when neutrophils are activated. The role of Ca2+ in initiating these changes was investigated. No correlation was found between the increased cytosolic [Ca2+] and the stimulation of the Na+/H+ antiport. Similarly, the cytoplasmic acidification elicited by activation in Na+-free media was found to be unrelated to [Ca2+]. Reversal of Na+/H+ exchange was also ruled out as the source of the acidification. Data using a variety of soluble activators indicate that metabolic acid generation is largely responsible for the observed drop in cytoplasmic pH. 相似文献

A large number of plant Ca2+/H+ exchangers have been identified in endomembranes, but far fewer have been studied for Ca2+/H+ exchange in plasma membrane so far. To investigate the Ca2+/H+ exchange in plasma membrane here, inside-out plasma membrane vesicles were isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves using aqueous two-phase partitioning method. Ca2+/H+ exchange in plasma membrane vesicles was measured by Ca2+-dependent dissipation of a pre-established pH gradient. The results showed that transport mediated by the Ca2+/H+ exchange was optimal at pH 7.0, and displayed transport specificity for Ca2+ with saturation kinetics at K m = 47 μM. Sulfate and vanadate inhibited pH gradient across vesicles and decreased the Ca2+-dependent transport of H+ out of vesicles significantly. When the electrical potential across plasma membrane was dissipated with valinomycin and potassium, the rate of Ca2+/H+ exchange increased comparing to control without valinomycin effect, suggesting that the Ca2+/H+ exchange generated a membrane potential (interior negative), i.e. that the stoichiometric ratio for the exchange is greater than 2H+:Ca2+. Eosin Y, a Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, drastically inhibited Ca2+/H+ exchange in plasma membrane as it does for the purified Ca2+-ATPase in proteoliposomes, indicating that measured Ca2+/H+ exchange activity is mainly due to a plasma membrane Ca2+ pump. These suggest that calcium (Ca2+) is transported out of Arabidopsis cells mainly through a Ca2+-ATPase-mediated Ca2+/H+ exchange system that is driven by the proton-motive force from the plasma membrane H+-ATPase. 相似文献

Summary Kinetic properties of Na+–Ca2+ exchange in a renal epithelial cell line (LLC-MK2) were assessed by measuring cytosolic free Ca2+ with fura-2 and45Ca2+ influx. Replacing external Na+ with K+ produced relatively small increases in free Ca2+ and45Ca2+ uptake unless the cells were incubated with ouabain. Ouabain markedly increased cell Na+ and strongly potentiated the effect of replacing external Na+ with K+ on free Ca2+ and45Ca2+ uptake.45Ca2+ influx in 140mm K+ or N-methyl-d-glucamine minus influx in 140mm Na+ was used to quantify Na+–Ca2+ exchange activity of Na+-loaded cells. The dependence of exchange on cell Na+ was sigmoidal; theK
0.5 was 26±3 mmol/liter cell water space, and the Hill coefficient was 3.1±0.2. The kinetic features of the dependence of exchange on cell Na+ partly account for the small increase in Ca2+ influx when all external Na+ is replaced by K+. Besides raising cell Na+ ouabain appears to activate the exchanger. Magnesium competitively inhibited exchange activity. The potency of Mg2+ was 8.2-fold lower with potassium instead of N-methyl-d-glucamine or choline as the replacement for external Na+. Potassium also increased theV
max of exchange by 86% and had no effect on theK
m for Ca2+. The exchanger does not cause detectable22Na+–Mg2+ exchange and does not appear to require K+ or transport86Rb+. Although exchange activity was plentiful in the epithelial cells from monkey kidney, others from amphibian, canine, opossum, and porcine kidney had no detectable exchange activity. All of the measured kinetic properties of Na+–Ca2+ exchange in the renal epithelial cells are very similar to those of the exchanger in rat aortic myocytes. 相似文献

The Na+/Ca2+ exchanger provides a major Ca2+ extrusion pathway in excitable cells and plays a key role in the control of intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. In Canis familiaris, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) activity is regulated by the binding of Ca2+ to two cytosolic Ca2+‐binding domains, CBD1 and CBD2, such that Ca2+‐binding activates the exchanger. Despite its physiological importance, little is known about the exchanger's global structure, and the mechanism of allosteric Ca2+‐regulation remains unclear. It was found previously that for NCX in the absence of Ca2+ the two domains CBD1 and CBD2 of the cytosolic loop are flexibly linked, while after Ca2+‐binding they adopt a rigid arrangement that is slightly tilted. A realistic model for the mechanism of the exchanger's allosteric regulation should not only address this property, but also it should explain the distinctive behavior of Drosophila melanogaster's sodium/calcium exchanger, CALX, for which Ca2+‐binding to CBD1 inhibits Ca2+ exchange. Here, NMR spin relaxation and residual dipolar couplings were used to show that Ca2+ modulates CBD1 and CBD2 interdomain flexibility of CALX in an analogous way as for NCX. A mechanistic model for the allosteric Ca2+ regulation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger is proposed. In this model, the intracellular loop acts as an entropic spring whose strength is modulated by Ca2+‐binding to CBD1 controlling ion transport across the plasma membrane.

Mitochondrial Ca2+ ions are crucial regulators of bioenergetics and cell death pathways. Mitochondrial Ca2+ content and cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis strictly depend on Ca2+ transporters. In recent decades, the major players responsible for mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and release have been identified, except the mitochondrial Ca2+/H+ exchanger (CHE). Originally identified as the mitochondrial K+/H+ exchanger, LETM1 was also considered as a candidate for the mitochondrial CHE. Defining the mitochondrial interactome of LETM1, we identify TMBIM5/MICS1, the only mitochondrial member of the TMBIM family, and validate the physical interaction of TMBIM5 and LETM1. Cell‐based and cell‐free biochemical assays demonstrate the absence or greatly reduced Na+‐independent mitochondrial Ca2+ release in TMBIM5 knockout or pH‐sensing site mutants, respectively, and pH‐dependent Ca2+ transport by recombinant TMBIM5. Taken together, we demonstrate that TMBIM5, but not LETM1, is the long‐sought mitochondrial CHE, involved in setting and regulating the mitochondrial proton gradient. This finding provides the final piece of the puzzle of mitochondrial Ca2+ transporters and opens the door to exploring its importance in health and disease, and to developing drugs modulating Ca2+ exchange. 相似文献

In plants, cytosolic Ca2+ levels are tightly regulated, and changes in cytosolic Ca2+ have been implicated in converting numerous signals into adapted responses. Vacuolar ion transporters are thought to be key mediators of cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations. In an attempt to interpret the role of vacuolar Ca2+ transport in plant processes, we have expressed the yeast vacuolar Ca2+/H+ antiporter, VCX1, in Arabidopsis and tobacco. This transporter localizes to the plant vacuolar membrane. VCX1-expressing Arabidopsis plants displayed increased sensitivity to sodium and other ions. These ion sensitivities could be suppressed by addition of calcium to the media. VCX1-expressing plants demonstrated increased tonoplast-enriched Ca2+/H+ antiport activity as well as increased Ca2+ accumulation. These results suggest that VCX1 expression in Arabidopsis could be a valuable tool with which to experimentally dissect the role of Ca2+ transport around the plant vacuole. 相似文献

We have performed microsecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize the structural dynamics of cation-bound E1 intermediate states of the calcium pump (sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, SERCA) in atomic detail, including a lipid bilayer with aqueous solution on both sides. X-ray crystallography with 40 mM Mg2+ in the absence of Ca2+ has shown that SERCA adopts an E1 structure with transmembrane Ca2+-binding sites I and II exposed to the cytosol, stabilized by a single Mg2+ bound to a hybrid binding site I′. This Mg2+-bound E1 intermediate state, designated E1•Mg2+, is proposed to constitute a functional SERCA intermediate that catalyzes the transition from E2 to E1•2Ca2+ by facilitating H+/Ca2+ exchange. To test this hypothesis, we performed two independent MD simulations based on the E1•Mg2+ crystal structure, starting in the presence or absence of initially-bound Mg2+. Both simulations were performed for 1 µs in a solution containing 100 mM K+ and 5 mM Mg2+ in the absence of Ca2+, mimicking muscle cytosol during relaxation. In the presence of initially-bound Mg2+, SERCA site I′ maintained Mg2+ binding during the entire MD trajectory, and the cytosolic headpiece maintained a semi-open structure. In the absence of initially-bound Mg2+, two K+ ions rapidly bound to sites I and I′ and stayed loosely bound during most of the simulation, while the cytosolic headpiece shifted gradually to a more open structure. Thus MD simulations predict that both E1•Mg2+ and E•2K+ intermediate states of SERCA are populated in solution in the absence of Ca2+, with the more open 2K+-bound state being more abundant at physiological ion concentrations. We propose that the E1•2K+ state acts as a functional intermediate that facilitates the E2 to E1•2Ca2+ transition through two mechanisms: by pre-organizing transport sites for Ca2+ binding, and by partially opening the cytosolic headpiece prior to Ca2+ activation of nucleotide binding. 相似文献

We studied the effects of H2O/D2O substitution on the permeation and gating of the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels inChara gymnophylla droplet membrane using the patchclamp technique. The selectivity sequence of the channel was: K+>Rb+≫Li+, Na+, Cs+ and Cl−. The conductance of this channel in symmetric 100mm KCl was found to be 130 pS. The single channel conductance was decreased by 15% in D2O as compared to H2O. The blockade of channel conductance by cytosolic Ca2+ weakened in D2O as a result of a decrease in zero voltage Ca2+ binding affinity by a factor of 1.4. Voltage-dependent channel gating was affected by D2O primarily due to the change in Ca2+ binding to the channel during the activation step. The Hill coefficient for Ca2+ binding was 3 in D2O and around 1 in H2O. The values of the Ca2+ binding constant in the open channel conformation were 0.6 and 6 μm in H2O and D2O, respectively, while the binding in the closed conformation was much less affected by D2O. The H2O/D2O substitution did not produce a significant change in the slope of channel voltage dependence but caused a shift as large
as 60 mV with 1mm internal Ca2+. 相似文献
