Inhibition of beta-adrenergic stimulated calcium pump of rat cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum by tricyclohexyltin hydroxide

The effects of tricyclohexyltin hydroxide (Plictran), an organotin acaricide, on 45Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ ATPase were studied in vitro and in vivo in rat heart ventricular membrane vesicles, primarily sarcoplasmic reticulum. There was a concentration dependent inhibition of both 45Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ ATPase in vivo as well as in vitro. Isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist, stimulated 45Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum and this was also inhibited by Plictran. Since cardiac relaxation is mediated by beta-adrenergic stimulation via Ca+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum, the inhibition of calcium pump activity by Plictran may result in alterations in cardiac Ca2+ fluxes leading to cardiac dysfunction.     

Spectroscopic determination of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ release

In this report we describe the application of spectroscopic methods to the study of Ca2+ release by isolated native sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes from rabbit skeletal muscle. To date, dual-wavelength spectroscopy of arsenazo III and antipyrylazo III difference absorbance have been the most common spectroscopic methods for the assay of SR Ca2+ transport. The utility of these methods is the ability to manipulate intraluminal Ca2+ loading of SR vesicles. These methods have also been useful for studying the effect of both agonists and antagonists upon SR Ca2+ release and Ca2+ uptake. In this study, we have developed the application of Calcium Green-2, a long-wavelength excitable fluorescent indicator, for the study of SR Ca2+ uptake and release. With this method we demonstrate how ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channel opening and closing is regulated in a complex manner by the relative distribution of Ca2+ between extraluminal and intraluminal Ca2+ compartments. Intraluminal Ca2+ is shown to be a key regulator of Ca2+ channel opening. However, these methods also reveal that the intraluminal Ca2+ threshold for Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release varies as a function of extraluminal Ca2+ concentration. The ability to study how the relative distribution of a finite pool of Ca2+ across the SR membrane influences Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ release may be useful for understanding how the ryanodine receptor is regulated, in vivo.

Block of the sheep cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-release channel by tetra-alkyl ammonium cations

Summary The purified ryanodine receptor channel of the sheep cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane functions as a calcium-activated cation-selective channel under voltage-clamp conditions following reconstitution into planar phospholipid bilayers. We have investigated the effects of the tetra-alkyl ammonium (TAA) cations, (C _n H_2n+1)₄N⁺ and the trimethyl ammonium cations, ethyltrimethyl ammonium and propyltrimethyl ammonium, on potassium conductance through the receptor channel. Small TAA cations (n = 1–3) and the trimethyl ammonium derivatives act as asymmetric, voltage-dependent blockers of potassium current. Quantitative analysis of the voltage dependence of block indicates that the conduction pathway of the sheep cardiac SR ryanodine receptor channel contains two distinct sites for the interaction of these small organic cations. Sites are located at approximately 50% for tetramethyl ammonium (TMA ⁺) and 90% for tetraethyl ammonium (TEA⁺) and tetrapropyl ammonium (TPrA⁺) of the voltage drop across the channel from the cytosolic face of the protein. The chemical substitution of an ethyl or propyl group for one of the methyl groups in TMA⁺ increases the voltage dependence of block to a level similar to that of TEA ⁺ and TPrA⁺. The zero-voltage dissociation constant (K _b(0)) falls with the increasing number of methyl and methylene groups for those blockers acting 90% of the way across the voltage drop. This is interpreted as suggesting a hydrophobic binding site at this point in the conduction pathway. The degree of block increases as the concentration of small TAA cations is raised. The concentration dependence of tetraethyl ammonium block indicates that the cation interacts with a single site within the conduction pathway with a K _m of 9.8±1.7 mm (mean±sd) at 40 mV. Larger TAA cations (n = 4–5) do not induce voltage-dependent block of potassium current of the form seen with the smaller TAA cations. These data support the contention that the sheep cardiac SR ryanodine receptor channel may be occupied by at most one ion at a time and suggest that a large proportion of the voltage drop falls over a relatively wide region of the conduction pathway.This work was supported by funds from the Medical Research Council and the British Heart Foundation. We would like to thank Richard Montgomery for his considerable help with the chemical synthesis. We are grateful to Drs. John Chambers, Nick Price and staff for showing us the intricacies of NMR spectroscopy.     

Preliminary investigation of sequence-independent DNA binding proteins in rat skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum and their function

To observe the binding of plasmid DNA to non-nuclear DNA binding proteins in sar-coplasmic reticulum (SR) and the effects of this binding on SR function, sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins in rat skeletal muscle were isolated by differential centrifuge and sucrose density-gradient centrifuge. The results showed that there are two sequence-independent DNA binding proteins in SR proteins, the molecular weights of which are 83 and 58 ku, respectively. Ca2 uptake and release of SR were remarkably promoted by the binding of plasmid DNA to DNA binding proteins in SR, the mechanism is probably through increasing of Ca2 -ATPase activity in SR and changing of character of Ca2 release channel ryanodine receptors induced by the binding. These results suggest that there exist DNA binding proteins in SR and its binding to DNA may affect Ca2 transport of SR.     

Biochemical characterization of the Ca2+ release channel of skeletal and cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum

Summary Rapid mixing-vesicle ion flux and planar lipid bilayer-single channel measurements have shown that a high-conductance, ligand-gated Ca²⁺ release channel is present in heavy, junctional-derived membrane fractions of skeletal and cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. Using the release channel-specific probe, ryanodine, a 30S protein complex composed of polypeptides of M_r 400 000 has been isolated from cardiac and skeletal muscle. Reconstitution of the complex into planar lipid bilayers has revealed a Ca²⁺ conductance with properties characteristic of the native Ca²⁺ release channel.
