During early development, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization is not only essential for fertilization, but has also been implicated during other meiotic and mitotic events, such as germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD). In this study, the roles of intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ were examined during meiotic maturation and reinitiation at parthenogenetic activation and during first mitosis in a single species using the same methodologies. Cumulus-free metaphase II mouse oocytes immediately resumed anaphase upon the induction of a large, transient Ca2+ elevation. This resumption of meiosis and associated events, such as cortical granule discharge, were not sensitive to extracellular Ca2+ removal, but were blocked by intracellular Ca2+ chelators. In contrast, meiosis I was dependent on external Ca2+; in its absence, the formation and function of the first meiotic spindle was delayed, the first polar body did not form and an interphase-like state was induced. GVBD was not dependent on external Ca2+ and showed no associated Ca2+ changes. NEBD at first mitosis in fertilized eggs, on the other hand, was frequently, but not always associated with a brief Ca2+ transient and was dependent on Ca2+ mobilization. We conclude that GVBD is Ca2+ independent, but that the dependence of NEBD on Ca2+ suggests regulation by more than one pathway. As cells develop from Ca(2+)-independent germinal vesicle oocytes to internal Ca(2+)-dependent pronuclear eggs, internal Ca2+ pools increase by approximately fourfold. 相似文献

The involvement of calcium ions in the mechanism of meiotic resumption has been studied in mouse oocytes made resistant to the lethal effects of calcium-free medium (CFM) by zona pellucida removal (De Felici et al., '89). We show here that such oocytes undergo meiotic resumption in CFM (as evaluated by germinal vesicle breakdown, GVBD) at a rate comparable to that shown by oocytes cultured in medium containing 1.7 mM Ca2+. The addition to CFM of 50 u M Quin2/AM (a membrane permeable, high affinity Ca2+ chelator) totally prevents GVBD, while purported antagonists of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, such as 150 uM 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3-4-5 trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8) or 300 uM chlortetracycline, only cause a slight meiotic delay. On the other hand, if the oocytes are pre-incubated for 30 min in CFM supplemented with 100 uM TBM-8 plus 0.2 mM dibutyryl-cyclic AMP (dbcAMP, a reversible inhibitor of GVBD), and then cultured in the same medium, without dbcAMP, a sustained inhibition of meiotic maturation is obtained. Our observations suggest that an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ is essential for meiotic resumption by mouse oocytes; in the experimental absence of external Ca2+, release of the cation from internal stores is sufficient to allow meiotic resumption. 相似文献

Changes in calmodulin level after fertilization and during first cleavage in the egg of the urodelan amphibian Pleurodeles waltlii 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We report three significant calmodulin rises related to Pleurodeles waltlii egg fertilization and following developmental events. These elevations are correlated to the major obvious Ca2+-dependent events: Na+-H+ exchange, activation of NAD kinase, triggering of cortical reaction, resumption of meiotic division II, initiation of DNA synthesis and regulation of cell division. Therefore, it is suggested that alterations in calmodulin level in fertilized egg may be part of the Ca2+-dependent regulatory mechanisms which turn on metabolisms, initiate development and govern cell cleavages. 相似文献

31P-NMR has been used to monitor changes in intracellular pH following the sequential release of the block at first-meiotic prophase by hormones and the block at second-meiotic metaphase by fertilization in Rana eggs and oocytes. The broad phosphoprotein signal was eliminated by a combination of spin-echo and deconvolution techniques. pHi was determined from the pH-dependent separation of intracellular Pi and phosphocreatine resonances. Agents that release the prophase block (progesterone, insulin, D-600, La3+) increased pHi from 7.38 to 7.7-7.8 within 1-3 h. Noninducers such as 17 beta-estradiol were without effect. By second-metaphase arrest (ovulated, unfertilized) the pHi had fallen to 7.1-7.2. pHi underwent a transient increase to about 7.7 within the first 30 min at fertilization, with a slow 0.1-0.2 pH unit oscillation during early cleavage. The progesterone-induced elevation of intracellular pH is not blocked by amiloride and occurs in Na+-free medium. A transient rise in pHi occurs when the prophase-arrested oocyte is transferred to Ca2+-free medium or when ionophore A23187 is added to the Ca2+-containing medium. Agents that inhibit the resumption of the first meiotic division either block the rise in pHi (procaine, PMSF) or shorten the time-course of the rise in pHi (ionophore A23187). Conditions that elevate intracellular Ca2+ levels and/or increase Ca2+ exchange produce an increase in pHi, whereas those conditions that decrease intracellular Ca2+ levels and/or exchange produce a fall in pHi within 1 h. The time-course of the increase in pHi both following release of the prophase block and at fertilization coincide with a fall in intracellular cAMP and release of surface and/or intracellular Ca2+. These results suggest that: (1) pHi is a function of cytosolic free Ca2+ levels and/or Ca2+ exchange across the oocyte plasma membrane, and (2) meiotic agonists (progesterone, insulin, D-600) and mitogens (sperm, ionophore A23187) modulate intracellular and/or membrane Ca2+ with the resulting changes in pHi and cAMP and resumption of the meiotic divisions. 相似文献

I report here that thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-ATPase activities in internal Ca2+ stores, induces meiotic maturation in prophase I-arrested surf clam (Spisula solidissima) oocytes. The half-maximal dose for triggering germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) is 120 nM. Thapsigargin-induced GVBD is followed by all normal subsequent steps of meiotic maturation including extrusions of first and second polar bodies, with almost normal timing as compared with K(+)-induced activation. Thapsigargin-induced GVBD requires the presence of external Ca2+ at a half-maximal concentration of 0.6 mM. In normal sea water, thapsigargin-induced activation is accompanied by a slightly increased 45Ca2+ uptake by the oocytes and by an intracellular pH rise of 0.3 U. These results show that thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ pools regulating Ca2+ fluxes exist in surf clam oocytes, and they also further establish that Ca2+ ions are the major initial trigger for meiosis resumption in this species. 相似文献

Experiments using a Ca2+/Mg2+, serum free media were carried out aimed at clarifying proposed effects of these divalent cations on in vitro meiotic maturation of mouse and cow oocytes. Agents known to perturb intracellular Ca2+ or calmodulin were also studied. Total absence of both cations restricts both oocyte species from completing meiosis I. Media containing Mg2+ and no Ca2+ permitted some maturation in both species. Absence or small amounts of Mg2+ in the media containing control amounts of Ca2+ was much more inhibitory for the cow than the mouse oocyte. Studies of mouse oocyte maturation with Verapamil, Epinephrine and A23187 demonstrated an inhibition of maturation perhaps by the intracellular Ca2+ changes these agents are alleged to induce. A dependency of mouse oocyte maturation on active Ca-Calmodulin complexes was suggested by the calmodulin inhibitor studies. 相似文献

This paper analyzes the kinetics of the Ca2+ uniporter of mitochondria from rat heart, kidney and liver operating in a range of Ca2+ concentrations near the steady-state value (1-4 microM). Heart mitochondria exhibit the lowest activity, and physiological Mg2+ concentrations inhibit the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter by approx. 50% in heart and kidney, and by 20% in liver. At physiological Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations the external free Ca2+ maintained by respiring mitochondria in vitro is higher in heart and kidney with respect to liver mitochondria. This behaviour could represent an adaptation of different mitochondria to their specific intracellular environment. 相似文献

The placental plasma membrane vesicles are capable of accumulating up to 190 mM Ca2+. This is 24-fold higher than the external Ca2+ concentration. This process is dependent on ATP hydrolysis by the placental Ca2+-ATPase. The Pi/Ca ratio is dependent on the external Ca2+ concentration, and reaches the value of 2 at 10 mM Ca2+. Phosphate (5 mM) can double Ca2+ uptake when measured in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+. Mg2+ increased Ca2+ uptake only at low Ca2+ concentrations, and had no significant effect at 5 mM Ca2+. 相似文献

The uptake and efflux of 22Na and 42K were studied in denuded Rana pipiens oocytes following progesterone induction of the resumption of meiotic maturation. Coincident with the breakdown of the large nucleus, or germinal vesicle, there is a virtual disappearance of K+ permeability of the oocyte plasma membrane. Only about 1–2% of the total [K+]i is exchanged by completion of nuclear breakdown (8–10 hr) and accounts for the finding that there is no detectable change in total [K+]i during the first meiotic division (20–24 hr). In the case of Na+, influx, exchange, and efflux kinetics were unchanged during the first meiotic division, with 20 and 35% of the total oocyte Na+ exchanging by the completion of nuclear breakdown and first meiotic division, respectively. Removal of Na+ from the incubation medium produced and earlier nuclear breakdown, whereas a K-free medium delayed breakdown. There was no effect of 10 μm/ml tetrodotoxin or 10?5M strophanthidin on the time course of nuclear breakdown. Thus one action of progesterone appears to be a selective turning off of “K channels” in the oocyte plasma membrane. The disappearance of K selectivity of the oocyte plasma membrane coincides with plasma membrane depolarization, as well as nuclear swelling and breakdown. 相似文献

The process of oocyte maturation in the canine species is unique among mammals: oocytes are immature at ovulation and the resumption and progression of meiotic maturation occur in the oviduct. This study was performed to investigate (i) the effect of co-culture with infundibulum and ampullar oviductal epithelial cells on the in vitro maturation of canine oocytes and (ii) the culture time necessary to reach full meiotic maturation. For this purpose the oocytes, collected from the ovaries of bitches undergoing ovariectomies, were divided into three groups and cultured for 48 and 72 h with the following systems: (A) TCM 199 + 10% oestrus bitch serum + FSH (0.1 IU.mL(-1)), LH (0.1 IU.mL(-1)) + progesterone (1 microg.mL(-1)) + oestradiol (1 microg.mL(-1)) + cysteamine (100 microM); (B) medium A plus infundibulum cells; (C) medium A plus ampullar cells. Infundibulum and ampullar cells were recovered from the oviducts of bitches at the oestrus stage of their cycle. The results showed that after 48 h of incubation, a significantly higher meiotic resumption (P < 0.01) was observed in the oocytes cultured with infundibulum (59%) and ampullar cells (60.0%), than in the control group (40.0%). There was also a significantly (P < 0.01) higher meiotic progression to the MII in systems B and C (15.6% and 16.7%) than in system A (4.0%). After 72 h of culture, the percentages of meiotic resumption and progression were unchanged. These results showed that both the infundibulum and the ampullar oviductal epithelial cells positively influence the meiotic resumption and progression of canine oocytes and that 48 h are sufficient for the completion of nuclear maturation. 相似文献

The effects of sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and boron (B) concentrations and sodicity, as measured by the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), on the growth of a Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae strain isolated from a salt-affected soil were studied. The rate of growth was measured in a yeast extract-mannitol broth, amended with salts having electrical conductivity (EC) of 4, 8, and 16 dS x m(-1). Each salinity level was prepared to achieve SAR values of 10, 20, and 30 with or without graded B concentrations of 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 mg x L(-1). We found that salinity levels equal to or more than 8 dS x m(-1) had negative effects on Rhizobium growth during the first days of incubation, but the effects became less pronounced after 1 week. Na+ concentrations of more than 1.1 g x L(-1) retarded growth, especially at high SAR values (i.e., at low Ca2+ concentrations). The retardation of growth increased with increases in EC up to 16 dS x m(-1), at all sodicity levels. Mg2+ added together with Na+ or with Ca2+ + Na+ affected growth more negatively than Ca2+ + Na+ alone. The effect of Mg2+ became more pronounced with increased salinities and sodicities. It was concluded that EC of more than 4 dS x m(-1) retarded growth of Rhizobium, but only at high sodicity levels. The relative specific ion effect on growth was in the order Na+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+. The harmful effect of Mg2+ on this strain was accentuated by adding Ca2+ to the cultural medium. When SAR increased from 10 to 30, Na+ had no clear effect on growth, irrespective of the accompanied cations, i.e, Ca2+, Mg2+, or Ca2+ + Mg2+. Growth was reduced by B concentrations as low as 0.5 mg x L(-1), and the B effect was enhanced by increased salinity. 相似文献

A gradual increase in the concentration of Ca2+ from anterior to the posterior region was observed when mono- and divalent cations were estimated in different segments of the epididymis in wall lizard. Na+ and K+ levels increased from anterior to middle segment but declined significantly in the posterior segment. However, no significant difference in the levels of Mg2+ was observed in various segments. To study the influence of mono- and divalent cations on sperm motility in vitro, the spermatozoa from posterior region of the epididymis were incubated in medium with varying concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. Spermatozoa were non-motile when suspended in Na+-free medium. Addition of NaCl induced the acquisition of sperm motility in a concentration-dependent manner. Further, amiloride, a Na+-influx blocker, markedly reduced the Na+-induced forward progressive motility. Unlike Na+, the presence of K+ or Ca2+ in the incubation medium reduced the motility of spermatozoa even at very low concentrations. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+ decreased when nifedipine, a Ca2+-influx blocker, was added to the medium. Mg2+ at high concentrations only was able to reduce the forward progressive motility. 相似文献

Repetitive calcium stimuli drive meiotic resumption and pronuclear development during mouse oocyte activation. 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Freshly ovulated (12 hr post hCG) F1 (C57BL/6 x CBA) hybrid mouse oocytes were parthenogenetically activated by repetitive elevation of Ca2+ induced by carefully controlled electrical pulses. Different patterns of stimulation were employed to examine the role of repetitive calcium changes on meiotic resumption and pronuclear development. In the first series of experiments oocytes received 33 electrical pulses of 1.8 kV/cm delivered every 4 min. The pulse duration decreased according to a negative exponential equation from a 900-microseconds first pulse to give a total pulse duration of 18.721 msec. The strength of calcium stimuli was varied by changing the concentration of CaCl2 in the medium. Ninety-eight percent of the oocytes stimulated with 12 microM calcium extruded the second polar body by the end of treatment and 92% completed pronuclear formation between 3.5 and 8 hr after the first pulse. For higher or lower Ca2+ concentrations the proportion of oocytes developing pronuclei decreased; the timing of pronuclear formation was retarded and the majority of oocytes failed to form a pronucleus after extrusion of the second polar body. In the second series of experiments, the strength of the calcium stimuli was modulated by changing the duration of the 33 electrical pulses given in the presence of 12 microM calcium. By increasing the total pulse duration to 33.958 msec, 100% of the oocytes activated and completed pronuclear formation between 3 and 5 hr after the first electric pulse. Stimulation protocols of lower total pulse duration (less than 18.721 msec) gave rise to high rates of partial activation (up to 95%). Examination of these partially activated oocytes showed metaphases with haploid sets of chromatids characteristic of third meiotic metaphase arrest. The results indicate that repetitive calcium stimuli can regulate the rate and extent of meiotic resumption and the time course of pronuclear formation during mouse oocyte activation. They suggest that meiotic resumption in mammalian oocytes is regulated by the amplitude and frequency of cytosolic calcium oscillations induced by the activating stimulus. 相似文献

Adenosine is present in the mouse follicular fluid and has been shown to interfere with oocyte maturation in vitro. To clarify the mechanism of adenosine action on meiotic arrest, we have characterized the synergistic action of this purine with forskolin on the meiotic resumption of mouse denuded oocytes. Forskolin delays meiotic resumption by approximately 1 hour; adenosine at concentrations ranging between 30–750 μM has no significant effect. Conversely, adenosine treatment together with forskolin produces a further delay in the resumption of meiosis. This adenosine effect is dose-dependent and mimicked by adenosine analogs like N6-phenylisopropyl adenosine (PIA), 2-chloroadensoine (2-CLA), 5′-N-ethylcarboxamide (NECA). Dipyridamole, which inhibits adenosine transport, does not prevent the meiosis-arresting synergistic effect of adenosine with forskolin. Adenosine causes a 50% increase of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content in the oocyte. However, this increase is not directly responsible for the observed delay in the oocyte maturation for the following reasons: (1) the dose response of inhibition of meiotic resumption does not correlate with the doses of adenosine producing an increase in ATP; (2) dipyridamole blocks the increase in intracellular ATP, but it has no effect on the adenosine inhibition of maturation; (3) adenosine analogs inhibit oocyte maturation but do not affect intracellular ATP levels. These results suggest that the synergism of adenosine with forskolin on meiotic arrest does not require uptake of the nucleoside nor its conversion to ATP and that the adenosine effects are exerted at the level of the oocyte plasma membrane. 相似文献

Cytological and statistical studies on the effects of exogenous Ca2 + on in vitro pollen tube growth and generative nucleus (GN) division of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. ) were conducted in an artificial experimental system. Under normal cultured conditions, the rate of GN division increased logarithmically in general, and reaches the climax at about 10 - 18 h. Among the treatments with various Ca2 + concentrations, 10- 3 mol/L was the optimal concentration for pollen tube growth, whereas other Ca2+ concentrations showed increasing inhibitory effect with the time of culture. Generally, Ca2 + concentrations at 10-2 and 10-3 mol/L favored GN division more than the others. Compared with 10-3 mol/L Ca2 + concentration at 10-2 mol/L benefitiated GN division at earlier stage of the treatment, but afterwards showed inhibitory effect gradually. Besides, the authors designed another series of experiments, in which 10-2, 10-1 mol/L Ca2+ (final concentrations) or 2,10 mmol/L EG-TA was respectively added to the medium containing 10-3 mol/L Ca2+ at 10 h of culture. Pollen tube growth was inhibited by the high Ca2+ treatments, especially being severely effected by 10-l mol/L Ca2 + from which wall, thickening of the tube tip, amitotic division of GN leading to micronucleus formation occurred. 10-2 mol/L Ca2 + treatment, however, promoted GN division at the earlier stage of treatment ( 10 - 12 h). EGTA treatments inhibited both pollen tube growth and GN division. 相似文献

The effect of Mg2+ on hepatic microsomal Ca2+ and Sr2+ transport 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The ATP-dependent uptake of Ca2+ by rat liver microsomal fraction is dependent upon Mg2+. Studies of the Mg2+ requirement of the underlying microsomal Ca2+-ATPase have been hampered by the presence of a large basal Mg2+-ATPase activity. We have examined the effect of various Mg2+ concentrations on Mg2+-ATPase activity, Ca2+ uptake, Ca2+-ATPase activity and microsomal phosphoprotein formation. Both Mg2+-ATPase activity and Ca2+ uptake were markedly stimulated by increasing Mg2+ concentration. However, the Ca2+-ATPase activity, measured concomitantly with Ca2+ uptake, was apparently unaffected by changes in the Mg2+ concentration. In order to examine the apparent paradox of Mg2+ stimulation of Ca2+ uptake but not of Ca2+-ATPase activity, we examined the formation of the Ca2+-ATPase phosphoenzyme intermediate and formation of a Mg2+-dependent phosphoprotein, which we have proposed to be an attribute of the Mg2+-ATPase activity. We found that Ca2+ apparently inhibited formation of the Mg2+-dependent phosphoprotein both in the absence and presence of exogenous Mg2+. This suggests that Ca2+ may inhibit (at least partially) the Mg2+-ATPase activity. However, inclusion of the Ca2+ inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase activity in the calculation of Ca2+-ATPase activity reveals that this effect is insufficient to totally account for the stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by Mg2+. This suggests that Mg2+, in addition to stimulation of Ca2+-ATPase activity, may have a direct stimulatory effect on Ca2+ uptake in an as yet undefined fashion. In an effort to further examine the effect of Mg2+ on the microsomal Ca2+ transport system of rat liver, the interaction of this system with Sr2+ was examined. Sr2+ was sequestered into an A23187-releasable space in an ATP-dependent manner by rat liver microsomal fraction. The uptake of Sr2+ was similar to that of Ca2+ in terms of both rate and extent. A Sr2+-dependent ATPase activity was associated with the Sr2+ uptake. Sr2+ promoted formation of a phosphoprotein which was hydroxylamine-labile and base-labile. This phosphoprotein was indistinguishable from the Ca2+-dependent ATPase phosphoenzyme intermediate. Sr2+ uptake was markedly stimulated by exogenous Mg2+, but the Sr2+-dependent ATPase activity was unaffected by increasing Mg2+ concentrations. Sr2+ uptake and Sr2+-dependent ATPase activity were concomitantly inhibited by sodium vanadate. In contrast to Ca2+, Sr2+ had no effect on Mg2+-dependent phosphoprotein formation. Taken together, these data indicate that Mg2+ stimulated Ca2+ and Sr2+ transport by increasing the Ca2+ (Sr2+)/ATP ratio.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

We aimed to determine whether the breakdown of the germinal vesicle of the mouse oocyte and the nuclear import of phospholipase C-beta1 were calcium-dependent. We chelated Ca2+ ions with BAPTA-dextran at different times after the release of the oocyte from the ovarian follicle, i.e. after meiosis resumption has started, and we studied the effects on the kinetics of germinal vesicle breakdown, and on the migration of phospholipase C-beta1. We discriminate between two key-periods of calcium-sensitivity during the process of meiosis resumption. During the first hour, changes in the cytosolic Ca2+ especially promoted the migration of phospholipase C-beta1 into the nucleus, whereas changes in the nuclear concentration of Ca2+ were not implicated. Moreover, at this time, the cytosolic calcium pathway is PLC-beta1-dependent. By contrast, during the second hour following the onset of meiosis resumption, and thus just previous GVBD, the PLC-beta1-dependent Ca2+ signals in both cellular compartments were equally necessary for the resumption of meiosis. This particular period of the meiotic process corresponds to the moment when the phospholipase C-beta1 has strongly migrated into the nucleus. Our results highlight also the role played by the nucleus during the second key-period in the control of the GVBD via a Ca2+-dependent pathway. 相似文献

Rat fat cell plasma membrane preparations were used to study the effect of Mn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+ on guanylate cyclase activity. Among these three cations, Mn2+ was the most effective in activating the enzyme; Mg2+ and Ca2+ were 23% and 10% respectively as effective as Mn2+ in activating the enzyme. Low concentrations of Ca2+ (1 microM) increased the rate of cGMP formation at MgGTP concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 2 mM. This effect was less at higher concentrations of Ca2+ and was independent of the presence of excess Mg2+. Ca2+ (100 microM) had only a marginal stimulatory effect on the MnGTP-dependent enzyme. 相似文献

The effects of cardiotoxin on the ATPase activity and Ca2+-transport of guinea pig erythrocyte and rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (E.C.3.6.1.3) were investigated. Erythrocyte (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was inhibited by cardiotoxin in a time- and dose-dependent fashion and inhibition appears to be irreversible. Micromolar calcium prevented this inhibitory effect. Specificity for (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase inhibition by cardiotoxin was indicated since a homologous neurotoxin had no effect. Cardiotoxin did not affect (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity from sarcoplasmic reticulum, but Ca2+-transport was 50% inhibited. This inhibition was not due to an increased Ca2+-efflux and could be the result of an intramolecular uncoupling of ATPase activity from Ca2+-transport. Inhibition of Ca2+-transport by cardiotoxin could not be prevented by millimolar concentrations of Ca2+. It is suggested that the biological effects of cardiotoxin could be a consequence of inhibition of plasma membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPases. 相似文献

Beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents may have, in addition to their primary action, also ancillary effects on the cell membrane. In the present paper the non-specific interaction of exaprolol with the ATPase systems in isolated rat heart sarcolemmal membranes was investigated. When preincubated with sarcolemmal membranes in vitro, exaprolol in concentrations below 10(-4) mol.l-1 had no significant effect on sarcolemmal Mg2+-, Ca2+- and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activities. At exaprolol concentration of 10(-4) mol.l-1 the Mg2+- and Ca2+-ATPase activities became inhibited whereas the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity was markedly stimulated. A kinetic analysis of these interactions revealed a non-competitive inhibition of Mg2+- and Ca2+-ATPase. In the case of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase a synergistic type of stimulation characterized by an exaprolol-induced conversion of an essential sulfhydryl group in the active site of the enzyme to the more reactive [S-] form has been observed thus increasing the affinity of the enzyme to ATP. Exaprolol concentrations exceeding 5 X 10(-4) mol.l-1 induced an overall depression of the investigated enzyme activities. 相似文献
