Ag+-induced Ca2+ release in isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was studied by the stopped flow method monitoring chlortetracycline fluorescence change. After improving the experimental procedure, the initial rate of Ca2+ release could be determined more precisely than before. Micromolar concentrations of Ag+ specifically enhanced Ca2+ efflux from heavy fraction of SR vesicles (HSR). This specific effect was referred to as Ag+-induced calcium release. The Ag+-induced Ca2+ efflux was activated by caffeine and ATP, but was inhibited by Mg2+ and procaine. Further, Ag+ enhanced the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release over the whole range of Ca2+ concentrations, similarly to ATP. Parallel to Ca2+ efflux, Mg2+ efflux, measured by the same method, was also activated by Ag+. Choline permeability determined by the light scattering method was also activated by Ag+. The results suggest that Ag+ binds to the activation site of the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release channel and opens the channel. The Ag+ binding site is different from the Ca2+ binding site but similar to the ATP binding site. 相似文献

Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were preloaded with either 45Ca2+ or unlabeled Ca2+. 45Ca2+ efflux and influx were determined in the presence and absence of acetylphosphate. Phosphorylation of the membrane-bound (Ca2+,Mg2+)-ATPase by [32P]acetylphosphate was also determined. The rate of efflux with acetylphosphate was considerably higher than that without acetylphosphate. When the acetylphosphate concentration was greatly reduced by diluting the reaction mixture after the start of the reaction, the rate of the efflux decreased markedly. These results demonstrate the acceleration of 45Ca2+ efflux by acetylphosphate. This acetylphosphate-induced efflux required external Ca2+. The external Ca2+ concentration giving half-maximum activation of efflux was 3.8 microM. The Ca2+ concentration dependence of the efflux coincided with that of phosphorylation. When the acetylphosphate concentration was varied, the rate of acetylphosphate-induced efflux changed approximately in proportion to the phosphoenzyme concentration. These and other findings show that acetylphosphate-induced 45Ca2+ efflux represents Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange (between the external medium and the internal medium) mediated by the phosphoenzyme and further demonstrate the direct dissociation of Ca2+ from the Ca2+-bound phosphoenzyme to the external medium in Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange. 相似文献

The effects of three types of amino acids on 45Ca2+ fluxes in rat pancreatic islets have been compared. Alanine, a non-insulinotropic neutral amino acid, transported with Na+, increased 45Ca2+ efflux in the presence or in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, but not in the absence of Na+. Its effects in Na+-solutions were practically abolished by 7 mM-glucose. Alanine slightly stimulated 45Ca2+ influx (5 min uptake) only when Na+ was present. Two insulinotropic cationic amino acids (arginine and lysine) triggered similar changes in 45Ca2+ efflux. They accelerated the efflux in the presence of Ca2+ and inhibited the efflux in a Ca2+-free medium, whether glucose was present or not. In an Na+-free Ca2+-medium, arginine and lysine markedly accelerated 45Ca2+ efflux, but this effect was suppressed by 7 mM-glucose. Arginine stimulated 45Ca2+ influx irrespective of the presence or absence of glucose and Na+. Leucine, a neutral insulinotropic amino acid well metabolized by islet cells, inhibited 45Ca2+ efflux from the islets in a Ca2+-free medium; this effect was potentiated by glutamine. In the presence of Ca2+ and Na+, leucine was ineffective alone, but triggered a marked increase in 45Ca2+ efflux when combined with glutamine. In an Na+-free Ca2+-medium, leucine accelerated 45Ca2+ efflux to the same extent with or without glutamine. Leucine also stimulated 45Ca2+ influx in the presence or in the absence of Na+, but its effects were potentiated by glutamine only in the presence of Na+. The results show that amino acids of various types cause distinct changes in 45Ca2+ fluxes in pancreatic islets. Certain of these changes involve an Na+-mediated mobilization of cellular Ca2+ from sequestering sites where glucose appears to exert an opposite effect. 相似文献

Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were preloaded with either 45Ca2+ or unlabeled Ca2+. The unidirectional Ca2+ efflux and influx, together with Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation of the membrane-bound (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase, were determined in the presence of ATP and ADP. The Ca2+ efflux depended on ATP (or ADP or both). It also required the external Ca2+. The Ca2+ concentration dependence of the efflux was similar to the Ca2+ concentration dependences of Ca2+ influx, Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis, and phosphoenzyme formation. The rate of the efflux was approximately in proportion to the concentration of the phosphoenzyme up to 10 microM Ca2+. These results and other findings indicate that the Ca2+ efflux represents the Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange (between the external medium and the internal medium) mediated by the phosphoenzyme. In the range of 0.6-5.2 microM Mg2+, no appreciable Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange was detected although phosphoenzyme formation occurred to a large extent. Elevation of Mg2+ in the range 5.2 microM-4.8 mM caused a remarkable activation of the exchange, whereas the amount of the phosphoenzyme only approximately doubled. The kinetic analysis shows that this activation results largely from the Mg2+-induced acceleration of an exchange between the bound Ca2+ of the phosphoenzyme and the free Ca2+ in the internal medium. It is concluded that Mg2+ is essential for the exposure of the bound Ca2+ of the phosphoenzyme to the internal medium. 相似文献

Electrothermal atomic-absorption spectroscopy was employed for measuring manganese in beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets isolated from ob/ob mice. The efflux from preloaded islets was estimated from the amounts remaining after 30 min of subsequent test incubations in the absence of Mn2+. An increase in the extracellular Mg2+ concentration promoted the Mn2+ efflux and removal of Na+ from a Ca2+-deficient medium had the opposite effect. Addition of 25 mM-K+ failed to affect Mn2+ outflow as did 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Whereas tolbutamide caused retention of manganese, the ionophore Br-X537A promoted an efflux. D-Glucose was equally potent in retaining the islet manganese when the external Ca2+ concentration ranged from 15 microM to 6.30 mM. Subcellular-fractionation experiments indicated a glucose-stimulated incorporation of manganese into all fractions except the microsomes. The effect was most pronounced in the mitochondrial fraction, being as high as 164%. The glucose-induced uptake of intracellular 45Ca was abolished in the presence of 0.25 mM-Mn2+. When added to medium containing 2.5 mM-Mn2+, glucose even tended to decrease 45Ca2+ uptake. The inhibitory effect of Mn2+ was apparent also from a diminished uptake of 45Ca into all subcellular fractions. The efflux of 45Ca2+ was markedly influenced by Mn2+ as manifested in a prominent stimulation followed by inhibition. In addition to demonstrating marked interactions between fluxes of Mn2+ and Ca2+, the present studies support the view that the glucose inhibition of the efflux of bivalent cations from pancreatic beta-cells is accounted for by their accumulation in the mitochondria. 相似文献

The effects of fatty acids and monovalent cations on the Ca2+ efflux from isolated liver and kidney mitochondria were investigated by means of electrode techniques. It was shown that unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids of medium chain length (C12 and C14) induced a Ca2+ efflux from mitochondria which was not inhibited by ruthenium red, but was specifically inhibited by Na+ and Li+. The Ca2+-releasing activity of unsaturated fatty acids did not correlate with their uncoupling activity. In kidney mitochondria a spontaneous, temperature-dependent Ca2+ efflux was observed which was inhibited either by albumin or by Na+. It is suggested that the net Ca2+ accumulation by mitochondria depends on the operation of independent pump and leak pathways. The pump is driven by the membrane potential and can be inhibited by ruthenium red, the leak depends on the presence of unsaturated fatty acids and is inhibited by Na+ and Li+. It is suggested that the unsaturated fatty acids produced by mitochondrial phospholipase A2 can be essential in the regulation of the Ca2+ retention in and the Ca2+ release from the mitochondria. 相似文献

Mitochondrial calcium release as induced by Hg2+ 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Addition of Hg2+ to mitochondria of rat kidney induces efflux of intramitochondrial Ca2+. This reaction is accompanied by a diminution of the NAD(P)H/NAD(P) ratio and a decrease of the internal negative membrane potential. These effects were enhanced by dithiothreitol. The binding of mercuric ions to mitochondria saturates with a maximal binding of 9 nmol min-1 mg-1. The stoichiometry between Ca2+ released and Hg2+ bound showed that in the presence of dithiothreitol, the binding of approximately 1 nmol of Hg2+/mg of protein suffices to induce the release of the accumulated Ca2+. In the electrophoretic analysis of Hg-labeled mitochondrial proteins it was found that 203Hg2+ bound mainly to proteins that have molecular masses of 20 and 30 kDa. It is proposed that Hg2+-induced Ca2+ release is due to modification of--SH groups of these latter proteins. 相似文献

Calcium can ameliorate Na+ toxicity in plants by decreasing Na+ influx through nonselective cation channels. Here, we show that elevated external [Ca2+] also inhibits Na+ -induced K+ efflux through outwardly directed, K+ -permeable channels. Noninvasive ion flux measuring and patch-clamp techniques were used to characterize K+ fluxes from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) root mature epidermis and leaf mesophyll under various Ca2+ to Na+ ratios. NaCl-induced K+ efflux was not related to the osmotic component of the salt stress, was inhibited by the K+ channel blocker TEA+, was not mediated by inwardly directed K+ channels (tested in the akt1 mutant), and resulted in a significant decrease in cytosolic K+ content. NaCl-induced K+ efflux was partially inhibited by 1 mm Ca2+ and fully prevented by 10 mm Ca2+. This ameliorative effect was at least partially attributed to a less dramatic NaCl-induced membrane depolarization under high Ca2+ conditions. Patch-clamp experiments (whole-cell mode) have demonstrated that two populations of Ca2+ -sensitive K+ efflux channels exist in protoplasts isolated from the mature epidermis of Arabidopsis root and leaf mesophyll cells. The instantaneously activating K+ efflux channels showed weak voltage dependence and insensitivity to external and internal Na+. Another population of K+ efflux channels was slowly activating, steeply rectifying, and highly sensitive to Na+. K+ efflux channels in roots and leaves showed different Ca2+ and Na+ sensitivities, suggesting that these organs may employ different strategies to withstand salinity. Our results suggest an additional mechanism of Ca2+ action on salt toxicity in plants: the amelioration of K+ loss from the cell by regulating (both directly and indirectly) K+ efflux channels. 相似文献

The effect of tetracaine on 45Ca efflux, cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i, and insulin secretion in isolated pancreatic islets and beta-cells was studied. In the absence of external Ca2+, tetracaine (0.1-2.0 mM) increased the 45Ca efflux from isolated islets in a dose-dependentOFF efflux caused by 50 mM K+ or by the association of carbachol (0.2 mM) and 50 mM K+. Tetracaine permanently increased the [Ca2+]i in isolated beta-cells in Ca2+-free medium enriched with 2.8 mM glucose and 25 microM D-600 (methoxiverapamil). This effect was also observed in the presence of 10 mM caffeine or 1 microM thapsigargin. In the presence of 16.7 mM glucose, tetracaine transiently increased the insulin secretion from islets perfused in the absence and presence of external Ca2+. These data indicate that tetracaine mobilises Ca2+ from a thapsigargin-insensitive store and stimulates insulin secretion in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The increase in 45Ca efflux caused by high concentrations of K+ and by carbachol indicates that tetracaine did not interfere with a cation or inositol triphosphate sensitive Ca2+ pool in beta-cells. 相似文献

The binding and release of 45Ca by axoplasm isolated from Myxicola giant axons were examined. Two distinct components of binding were observed, one requiring ATP and one not requiring ATP. The ATP- dependent binding was largely prevented by the addition of mitochondrial inhibitors, whereas the ATP-independent component was unaffected by these inhibitors. The ATP-independent binding accounted for roughly two-thirds of the total 45Ca uptake in solutions containing an ionized [Ca2+] = 0.54 microM and was the major focus of this investigation. This fraction of bound 45Ca was released from the axoplasm at a rate that increased with increasing concentrations of Ca2+ in the incubation fluid. The ions Cd2+ and Mn2+ were also able to increase 45Ca efflux from the sample, but Co2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, and Ba2+ had no effect. The concentration-response curves relating the 45Ca efflux rate coefficients to the concentration of Ca2+, Cd2+, and Mn2+ in the bathing solution were S-shaped. The maximum rate of efflux elicited by one of these divalent ions could not be exceeded by adding a saturating concentration of a second ion. Increasing EGTA concentration in the bath medium from 100 to 200 microM did not increase 45Ca efflux; yet increasing the concentration of the EGTA buffer in the uptake medium from 100 to 200 microM and keeping ionized Ca2+ constant caused more 45Ca to be bound by the axoplasm. These results suggest the existence of high-affinity, ATP-independent binding sites for 45Ca in Myxicola axoplasm that compete favorably with 100 microM EGTA. The 45Ca efflux results are interpreted in terms of endogenous sites that interact with Ca2+, Cd2+, or Mn2+. 相似文献

A method for saponin skinning of primary cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells was established. The saponin-treated cells could be stained with trypan blue and incorporated more 45Ca2+ than the nontreated cells under the same conditions. At low free Ca2+ concentration, greater than 85% of 45Ca2+ uptake into the skinned cells was dependent on the extracellularly supplied MgATP. In the intact cells, both caffeine and norepinephrine increased 45Ca2+ efflux. In the skinned cells, caffeine increased 45Ca2+ efflux, whereas norepinephrine did not. The caffeine-releasable 45Ca2+ uptake fraction in the skinned cells appeared at 3 X 10(-7) M Ca2+, increased gradually with the increase in free Ca2+ concentration, and reached a plateau at 1 X 10(-5) M Ca2+. The 45Ca2+ uptake fraction, which was significantly suppressed by sodium azide, appeared at 1 X 10(-5) M Ca2+ and increased monotonically with increasing free Ca2+ concentration. The results suggest that the caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ store, presumably the sarcoplasmic reticulum, plays a physiological role by releasing Ca2+ in response to norepinephrine or caffeine and by buffering excessive Ca2+. The 45Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria appears too insensitive to be important under physiological conditions. 相似文献

Cd2+ and other divalent metals mobilized cell Ca2+ in human skin fibroblasts. The divalent metals produced a large spike in cytosolic free Ca2+ and strikingly increased net Ca2+ efflux similarly to bradykinin. One-tenth microM Cd2+ half-maximally increased 45Ca2+ efflux. The potency order of the Ca2+ mobilizing metals was: Cd2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Ni2+ greater than Fe2+ greater than Mn2+. Cd2+ probably acts at an extracellular site because loading the cells with a heavy metal chelator only slightly inhibited Cd2+-evoked 45Ca2+ efflux. Cd2+ increased [3H]inositol polyphosphates; [3H]inositol trisphosphate increased 4-fold in 15 s. Zn2+ reversibly blocked 45Ca2+ efflux evoked by Cd2+ but not that produced by bradykinin. Zn2+ competitively (Ki = approximately 0.4 microM) inhibited net Ca2+ efflux produced by Cd2+. Cd2+ also evoked Ca2+ mobilization in umbilical artery muscle, endothelial, and neuroblastoma cells, and the divalent cation agonist and antagonist specificities were similar to those in the fibroblasts. The divalent metals appear to trigger Ca2+ mobilization via a reversible interaction with an external site on the cell surface, which may be considered a "Cd2+ receptor." 相似文献

The Ca2(+)-ATPase found in the light fraction of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles can be phosphorylated by Pi, forming an acylphosphate residue at the catalytic site of the enzyme. This reaction was inhibited by the phenothiazines trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine, imipramine, and fluphenazine and by the beta-adrenergic blocking agents propranolol and alprenolol. The inhibition was reversed by raising either the Pi or the Mg2+ concentration in the medium and was not affected by the presence of K+. Phosphorylation of the Ca2(+)-ATPase by Pi was also inhibited by ruthenium red and spermidine. These compounds compete with Mg2+, but, unlike the phenothiazines, they did not compete with Pi at the catalytic site, and the inhibition was abolished when K+ was included in the assay medium. The efflux of Ca2+ from loaded vesicles was greatly increased by the phenothiazines and by propranolol and alprenolol. In the presence of 200 microM trifluoperazine, the rate of Ca2+ efflux was higher than 3 mumol of Ca2+/mg of protein/10 s. The activation of efflux by these drugs was antagonized by Pi, Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, ADP, dimethyl sulfoxide, ruthenium red, and spermidine. The increase of Ca2+ efflux caused by trifluoperazine was not correlated with binding of the drug to the membrane lipids. It is concluded that the Ca2+ pump can be uncoupled by different drugs, thereby greatly increasing the efflux of Ca2+ through the ATPase. Displacement of these drugs by the natural ligands of the ATPase blocks the efflux through the uncoupled pathway and limits it to a much smaller rate. Thus, the Ca2(+)-ATPase can operate either as a pump (coupled) or as a Ca2+ channel (uncoupled). 相似文献

Addition of ruthenium red to mitochondria isolated from brain, adrenal cortex, parotid gland and skeletal muscle inhibits further uptake of Ca2+ by these mitochondria but induces little or no net Ca2+ efflux; the further addition of Na+, however, induces rapid efflux of Ca2+. The velocity of the Na+-induced efflux of Ca2+ from these mitochondria exhibits a sigmoidal dependence on the [Na+]. Addition of Na+ to mitochondria exhibiting the most active Na+-dependent efflux of Ca2+ (brain and adrenal cortex) also releases Ca2+ in the absence of ruthenium red and, under these conditions, the mitochondria become uncoupled. It is concluded that the efflux of Ca2+ from these mitochondria occurs via a Na+-dependent pathway, possibly a Na+-Ca2+ antiporter, that is distinct from the ruthenium-red-sensitive carrier that catalyses energy-linked Ca2+-influx. The possible role of the Na+-dependent efflux process in the distribution of Ca2+ between the mitochondria and the cytosol is discussed. In contrast, mitochondria from liver, kidney, lung, uterus muscle and ileum muscle exhibit no Na+-dependent efflux of Ca2+. 相似文献

Mouse islets were used to define the glucose-dependence and extracellular Ca2+ requirement of muscarinic stimulation of pancreatic beta-cells. In the presence of a stimulatory concentration of glucose (10 mM) and of Ca2+, acetylcholine (0.1-100 microM) accelerated 3H efflux from islets preloaded with myo-[3H]inositol. It also stimulated 45Ca2+ influx and efflux, 86Rb+ efflux and insulin release. In the absence of Ca2+, only 10-100 microM-acetylcholine mobilized enough intracellular Ca2+ to trigger an early but brief peak of insulin release. At a non-stimulatory concentration of glucose (3 mM), 1 microM- and 100 microM-acetylcholine increased 45Ca2+ and 86Rb+ efflux in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+. However, only 100 microM-acetylcholine marginally increased 45Ca2+ influx and caused a small, delayed, stimulation of insulin release, which was abolished by omission of Ca2+. At a maximally effective concentration of glucose (30 mM), 1 microM- and 100 microM-acetylcholine increased 45Ca2+ influx and efflux only slightly, but markedly amplified insulin release. Again, only 100 microM-acetylcholine mobilized enough Ca2+ to trigger a peak of insulin release in the absence of Ca2+. The results thus show that only high concentrations of acetylcholine (greater than or equal to 10 microM) can induce release at low glucose or in a Ca2+-free medium. beta-Cells exhibit their highest sensitivity to acetylcholine in the presence of Ca2+ and stimulatory glucose. Under these physiological conditions, the large amplification of insulin release appears to be the result of combined effects of the neurotransmitter on Ca2+ influx, on intracellular Ca2+ stores and on the efficiency with which Ca2+ activates the releasing machinery. 相似文献

Net hepatic Ca2+ efflux, K+ uptake and glycogen breakdown in response to the alpha 1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine were studied. Rat livers were perfused with CO2/bicarbonate-buffered solutions containing 10 microM Ca2+ and different amounts of Mg2+. K+-free medium and/or ouabain were used to block (Na+ + K+)-ATPase-dependent K+ uptake. In some experiments a sharp increase in extracellular Ca2+ concentrations was produced by infusing CaCl2 into the medium entering the liver. Perfusion with K+-free medium and ouabain enhanced the phenylephrine-induced Ca2+ efflux and diminished the glycogenolytic response, indicating a dissociation of Ca2+ release and glycogenolysis. Exogenous Ca2+ had practically no effect if livers were perfused with regular medium containing 1.2 mM Mg2+. In the presence of phenylephrine and if extracellular Mg2+ concentrations were lowered by omitting Mg2+ from the medium or by preperfusion with EGTA, exogenous Ca2+ was glycogenolytically effective and also produced a transient K+ uptake. Increased extracellular concentrations of Mg2+ inhibited the effects of exogenous Ca2+. In the presence of phenylephrine, higher concentrations of Mg2+ were needed than in the absence of alpha 1-adrenergic agonist to achieve a similar degree of inhibition. In one respect ouabain effects were comparable to those of phenylephrine: the glycoside also increased the metabolic response to exogenous Ca2+ and diminished the sensitivity towards Mg2+. Phenylephrine and ouabain may both enhance the permeability of plasma membranes for Ca2+. 相似文献

The Ruthenium Red-insensitive efflux of Ca2+ from previously loaded rat liver mitochondria was studied as a function of the added Na+ concentration and ADP present. Stimulation of Ca2+ efflux is sigmoidally dependent on the Na+ concentration; maximal stimulation of efflux was observed with 12--15 mM-NaCl. Na+-stimulated Ca2+ efflux from liver mitochondria is about one-tenth that from cardiac mitochondria. No synergistic effect of K+ on the Na+-stimulated efflux was found. The alkali-metal cations other than Na+ did not stimulate efflux and did not prevent stimulation by Na+. In the absence of Na+, Ca2+ efflux was diminished by added ADP, but the Na+-stimulated efflux was made correspondingly greater as ADP concentration was increased to 16 microM. The Na+-stimulated Ca2+ efflux was inhibited by 70% by oligomycin and was not observed in the presence of antimycin. It is suggested that failure to observe Na+-stimulation of Ca2+ efflux from liver mitochondria by some investigators is attributable to a high basal efflux existing before addition of the Na+ salt. 相似文献

A method is described that permits simultaneous determination of the net charge transfer associated with Ca2+ transport by the ruthenium-red-sensitive carrier and the ionized internal [Ca2+] in heart mitochondria. The data indicate that this carrier catalyses a charge-uncompensated flux of Ca2+. Full charge compensation for Ca2+ influx is provided by the respiration-dependent efflux of H+. The net efflux of Ca2+ induced by Na+ is analysed in terms of two other carriers, a Na+-Ca2+ antiporter and a Na+-H+ antiporter. Evidence is presented that these two carriers are separate and that the Na+-H+ exchange is the more rapid. The fluxes of Ca2+, Na+ and H+ during the Na+-induced efflux of Ca2+ support a series of events in which the Na+-H+ exchange enables unidirectional Ca2+ fluxes via the uniport and antiport systems to be integrated into a cycle. 相似文献

The concentrations of Zn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Pi and adenine nucleotides were determined in insulin-secretory granules prepared from a transplantable rat insulinoma. Differential and density-gradient centrifugation analyses revealed that Zn2+ in this tissue was principally localized in the secretory granule, a second major fraction being found in association with cytosolic proteins. Pi was principally recovered in the latter fraction, whereas Ca2+ and Mg2+ were more widely distributed. Intragranular ion-distribution experiments suggested that Zn2+ was complexed mainly to insulin and its precursor forms and remained in the granule in an insoluble state. The Zn2+/insulin ratio (0.54) was greater than that expected for insulin molecules having two centrally co-ordinated Zn2+ atoms/hexamer, but less than the maximal Zn2+-binding capacity of the molecule. Most of the granular Ca2+, Mg2+ and Pi was released in a soluble form when granules were disrupted by sonication. Simulation in vitro of the ionic composition of the granule suggested that up to 90% of its Ca2+ was complexed to Pi and adenine nucleotides. Granular macromolecules also bound Ca2+, as shown by equilibrium-dialysis studies of granule lysates. However, such binding was displaced by Mg2+. Examination of the efflux of Ca2+ from granules incubated in iso-osmotic suspensions at 37 degrees C suggested that the passive permeability of the granule membrane to Ca2+ was very low. Nevertheless, more than 50% of the granular Ca2+ was rapidly released in an ionized form on hypo-osmotic or detergent-induced disruption of the granule membrane. This may represent a potentially mobilizable pool of Ca2+ in vivo. 相似文献

The Ca2+ permeability of proteoliposomes containing Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum and its hydrophobic fragment was investigated, using the method of synthetic penetrant ions and the radioisotopic method. The former method was used to determine the diffusional membrane potential formed by Ca2+ concentration gradient. It was demonstrated that Ca2+-ATPase, whose active center is oriented outside, has and asymmetric conductivity, i. e., it facilitates the rapid efflux of Ca2+ from proteoliposomes. This efflux is stimulated by the membrane potential positive inside. The hydrophobic fragment of Ca2+-ATPase forms a Ca2+-channel with a high conductivity for Ca2+. This channel is responsible for the Ca2+ efflux from sarcoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献
