During the aggregation and differentiation of amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum, changes in free cytosolic Ca2+ appear to regulate a number of physiological processes. To understand the mechanisms regulating free intracellular Ca2+ in this organism, we have isolated and characterized an ATP/Mg2+-dependent, high-affinity Ca2+ pump. When homogenates of 2 h starved cells were fractionated on Percoll/KCl gradients, one peak of high-affinity Ca2+-pumping activity was detected. This activity was resolved from enzyme markers of the mitochondrion and the rough endoplasmic reticulum but it cosedimented with the plasma membrane marker, alkaline phosphatase. Further studies suggested that the pump was associated with 'inside-out' plasma membrane vesicles. Like plasma membrane Ca2+-transport ATPases from other systems, this isolated Ca2+ pump: (1) was Mg2+-dependent, (2) displayed a high specificity for ATP as an energy source, (3) exhibited a high affinity for free Ca2+ with a Km of 0.3 microM, and (4) was very sensitive to inhibition by vanadate (IC50 2 microM) but was unaffected by mitochondrial inhibitors, ouabain and Ca2+-channel blockers. Unlike plasma membrane Ca2+ pumps from most other systems, this enzyme appeared not to be regulated by calmodulin. During development, non-mitochondrial, vanadate-sensitive, high-affinity Ca2+-pumping activity in crude lysates remained relatively constant for at least 15 h. These observations suggest that this plasma membrane Ca2+ pump probably functions in Dictyostelium to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis by extruding free cytosolic Ca2+ from the cells. 相似文献

A unique cytoplast preparation from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (G. V. Henius, P. C. Laris, and J. D. Woodburn (1979) Exp. Cell. Res. 121, 337-345), highly enriched in plasma membranes, was employed to characterize the high-affinity plasma membrane calcium-extrusion pump and its associated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). An ATP-dependent calcium-transport system which had a high affinity for free calcium (K0.5 = 0.040 +/- 0.005 microM) was identified. Two different calcium-stimulated ATPase activities were detected. One had a low (K0.5 = 136 +/- 10 microM) and the other a high (K0.5 = 0.103 +/- 0.077 microM) affinity for free calcium. The high-affinity enzyme appeared to represent the ubiquitous high-affinity plasma membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (calcium-stimulated, magnesium-dependent ATPase) seen in normal cells. Both calcium transport and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase were significantly stimulated by the calcium-dependent regulatory protein calmodulin, especially when endogenous activator was removed by treatment with the calcium chelator ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid. Other similarities between calcium transport and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase included an insensitivity to ouabain (0.5 mM), lack of activation by potassium (20 mM), and a requirement for magnesium. These similar properties suggested that the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase represents the enzymatic basis of the high-affinity calcium pump. The calcium pump/enzyme system was inhibited by orthovanadate at comparatively high concentrations (calcium transport: K0.5 congruent to 100 microM; (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase: K0.5 greater than 100 microM). Upon Hill analysis, the tumor cell (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase failed to exhibit cooperative activation by calcium which is characteristic of the analogous enzyme in the plasma membrane of normal cells. 相似文献

Mechanisms involved in the cellular calcium homeostasis in vascular smooth muscle: calcium pumps 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for cells, and particularly for vascular smooth muscle cells. In this regulation, there is a participation of different factors and mechanisms situated at different levels in the cell, among them Ca2+ pumps play an important role. Thus, Ca2+ pump, to extrude Ca2+; Na+/Ca2+ exchanger; and different Ca2+ channels for Ca2+ entry are placed in the plasma membrane. In addition, the inner and outer surfaces of the plasmalemma possess the ability to bind Ca2+ that can be released by different agonists. The sarcoplasmic reticulum has an active role in this Ca2+ regulation; its membrane has a Ca2+ pump that facilitates luminal Ca2+ accumulation, thus reducing the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. This pump can be inhibited by different agents. Physiologically, its activity is regulated by the protein phospholamban; thus, when it is in its unphosphorylated state such a Ca2+ pump is inhibited. The sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane also possesses receptors for 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine, which upon activation facilitates Ca2+ release from this store. The sarcoplasmic reticulum and the plasmalemma form the superficial buffer barrier that is considered as an effective barrier for Ca2+ influx. The cytosol possesses different proteins and several inorganic compounds with a Ca2+ buffering capacity. The hypothesis of capacitative Ca2+ entry into smooth muscle across the plasma membrane after intracellular store depletion and its mechanisms of inhibition and activation is also commented. 相似文献

To make direct measurements of Ca2+ uptake and release by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of isolated smooth muscle cells, a fluorometric method for monitoring Ca2+ uptake by striated muscle SR vesicles (Kargacin, M.E., C.R. Scheid, and T.W. Honeyman. 1988. American Journal of Physiology. 245:C694-C698) was modified. With the method, it was possible to make continuous measurements of SR function in saponin-skinned smooth muscle cells in suspension. Calcium uptake by the SR was inhibited by thapsigargin and sequestered Ca2+ could be released by Br-A23187 and thapsigargin. From the rate of Ca2+ uptake by the skinned cells and the density of cells in suspension, it was possible to calculate the Ca2+ uptake rate for the SR of a single cell. Our results indicate that the SR Ca2+ pump in smooth muscle cells can remove Ca2+ at a rate that is 45-75% of the rate at which Ca2+ is removed from the cytoplasm of intact cells during transient Ca2+ signals. From estimates of SR volume reported by others and our measurements of the amount of Ca2+ taken up by the skinned cells, we conclude that the SR of a single cell can store greater than 10 times the amount of Ca2+ needed to elicit a single transient contractile response. 相似文献

Functional importance of the synaptic plasma membrane calcium pump and sodium-calcium exchanger 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Two major Ca2+ transport mechanisms co-function in a preparation of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles: an (ATP + Mg2+)-dependent Ca2+ pump, and a reversible Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (Gill, D. L., Grollman, E.F., and Kohn, L. D. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 184-192). An accurate comparative analysis of the kinetics of the two Ca2+ transporters under free Ca2+ conditions precisely buffered with EGTA, reveals that both mechanisms have high affinity for Ca2+. The ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump displays simple saturation kinetics with a Km for Ca2+ of 0.11 microM and a Vmax of 2.2 nmol/min/mg of protein. In contrast, the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger has a complex dependence on free Ca2+, the activity continuing to saturate over a wide range of free Ca2+ concentrations from 0.03 microM to 3 mM. The curvilinear Eadie-Hofstee analysis reveals a distinct high affinity component for the exchanger with a Km for Ca2+ of approximately 0.5 microM, and a lower affinity component not accurately resolvable into a discrete Km value. 2 mM amiloride blocks Na+-Ca2+ exchange-mediated Ca2+ uptake by 90% over a wide range of free Ca2+ (0.3-3000 microM), suggesting a similar noncompetitive inhibition of both low and high affinity Ca2+ sites. Ca2+ accumulated in vesicles via either the Ca2+ pump or Na+-Ca2+ exchanger is rapidly (in less than 1 min) released by 0.1% saponin (w/v), although a minor component (8-10%) of Ca2+ pump activity is resistant to saponin addition. The IC50 for the effect of saponin is the same (0.01%, w/v) for both Ca2+ transport mechanisms. The ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump is shown to be highly sensitive to vanadate inhibition (Ki = 0.5 microM). The high saponin sensitivity of both Ca2+ transporters and the potent effect of vanadate on Ca2+ pumping, together with previous Na+ channel and Na+ pump flux studies in the same membrane vesicles (Gill, D. L. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 10986-10990), all strongly suggest that both of the high affinity Ca2+ transporters function in the plasma membrane where they are of major functional importance to the regulation of intrasynaptic free Ca2+ levels. 相似文献

Inside-out plasma-membrane vesicles isolated from rat liver [Prpic, Green, Blackmore & Exton (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 1382-1385] accumulated a substantial amount of 45Ca2+ when they were incubated in a medium whose ionic composition and pH mimicked those of cytosol and which contained MgATP. The Vmax of the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate was 2.9 +/- 0.6 nmol/min per mg and the Km for Ca2+ was 0.50 +/- 0.08 microM. The ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake by inside-out plasma-membrane vesicles was about 20 times more sensitive to saponin than was the ATP-dependent uptake by a microsomal preparation. The 45Ca2+ efflux from the inside-out vesicles, which is equivalent to the Ca2+ influx in intact cells, was increased when the free Ca2+ concentration in the medium was decreased. The Ca2+ antagonists La3+ and Co2+ inhibited the 45Ca2+ efflux from the vesicles. Neomycin stimulated the Ca2+ efflux in the presence of either a high or a low free Ca2+ concentration. These results confirm that polyvalent cations regulate Ca2+ fluxes through the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Xestospongin C (XeC) is known to bind to the inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-sensitive store in mammalian cells and to inhibit IP(3)- and thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) release. In this study we show that this is also true for Dictyostelium. In addition, XeC inhibited Ca(2+) uptake into purified vesicle fractions and induced Ca(2+) release. This suggests that, in the case of Dictyostelium, XeC opens rather than plugs the IP(3) receptor channel as was proposed for mammalian cells (Gafni, J., Munsch, J. A. , Lam, T. H., Catlin, M. C., Costa, L. G., Molinski, T. F., and Pessah, I. N. (1997) Neuron 19, 723-733). In order to elucidate the function of the XeC-sensitive Ca(2+) store in Dictyostelium during differentiation, we applied XeC to the cells and found that it caused a time-dependent increase of basal [Ca(2+)](i) and inhibited cAMP-induced Ca(2+) influx in single cells as well as in cell suspensions. Moreover, XeC blocked light scattering spikes and pulsatile cAMP signaling. 相似文献

Preparation and characterization of longitudinal tubules of sarcoplasmic reticulum from fast skeletal muscle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) serves a central role in calcium uptake and release, thereby regulating muscle relaxation and contraction, respectively. Recently, we have isolated fractions referable to longitudinal tubules (R2) and terminal cisternae (R4), the two major types of sarcoplasmic reticulum (A. Saito et al. (1984) J. Cell Biol. 99, 875-885). The terminal cisternae contain two types of membranes, the calcium pump membrane and the junctional face membrane. The terminal cisternae are filled with electron-opaque contents which serve as a Ca2+ reservoir. The longitudinal tubules consist mainly of the calcium pump membrane. In this study, we describe a new longitudinal tubule fraction (F2) and characterize it together with the R2 and R4 SR fractions. The calcium pump membrane of the longitudinal tubules is a highly specialized membrane consisting of about 90% calcium pump protein as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Extensive changes in morphology can be observed in the SR fractions referable to osmotic differences during the fixation conditions using either glutaraldehyde-tannic acid or osmium tetroxide fixatives. The changes include swelling or shrinkage and aggregation of the compartmental contents when the fixative contains calcium ions. The two types of SR have different osmotic permeability to the same medium, as indicated by differential swelling or shrinkage. Both longitudinal tubule and terminal cisternae vesicles of SR appear larger and are spherical vesicles when the glutaraldehyde-tannic acid fixative is isotonic as compared with the "standard" fixation method. We have previously reported that the ruthenium red-sensitive calcium release channels are localized to the terminal cisternae. The terminal cisternae as isolated are leaky to Ca2+ since these channels are in the "open state" (S. Fleischer et al. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 82, 7256-7259). Thus, the Ca2+, Mg2+-dependent ATPase (Ca2+ ATPase) rate is only slightly enhanced in the presence of a Ca2+ ionophore, which dissipates the Ca2+ gradient across the SR membrane. We now find that preincubation with ruthenium red restores the tight coupling of the Ca2+ ATPase activity to Ca2+ transport. That is to say, ATPase activity is reduced and the addition of ionophore stimulates the Ca2+ ATPase activity 4- to 7-fold. The Ca2+ ATPase activity in longitudinal tubules is already tightly coupled. It is minimal after a Ca2+ gradient has been generated, but can be stimulated 9- to 20-fold when the Ca2+ gradient is dissipated with ionophore. This finding suggests that the Ca2+ ATPase activity in SR is tightly coupled to Ca2+ transport in situ. 相似文献

Sickle cells contain internal vesicles which accumulate Ca2+. As shown here, the membrane enclosing the vesicles contains the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase, or Ca2+ pump, as judged by staining with an antibody directed against the protein. Moreover, the number of cells containing such vesicles increases upon deoxygenation. These findings argue strongly that the vesicles arise by endocytosis from the plasma membrane, and explain how they accumulate Ca2+. When sickle cells are depleted of ATP, Ca2+ is lost from the vesicles, as judged by the disappearance of staining with the Ca2+/membrane probe chlortetracycline (CTC), without a corresponding loss of antibody staining. This loss of Ca2+ can be inhibited by nitrendipine, a Ca2+ channel blocker. These results suggest that the vesicle membrane allows outward passage of Ca2+ by a nitrendipine-sensitive pathway, which can be overcome by the inward-directed activity of the Ca2+ pump of the vesicle membrane. If so, the Ca2+ which vesicles contain is in dynamic equilibrium with the cytoplasm of the sickle erythrocyte. 相似文献

Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release and pH-induced Ca2+ release activities were identified in sarcoplasmic-reticulum (SR) vesicles isolated from adult- and fetal-sheep hearts. Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release and pH-induced Ca2+ release appear to proceed via the same channels, since both phenomena are similarly inhibited by Ruthenium Red. Ca2+ release from fetal SR vesicles is inhibited by higher concentrations of Ruthenium Red than is that from adult membranes. Both fetal and adult SR vesicles bind ryanodine. Fetal SR shows higher ryanodine-binding capacity than adult SR vesicles. Scatchard analysis of ryanodine binding revealed only one high-affinity binding site (Kd 6.7 nM) in fetal SR vesicles compared with two distinct binding sites (Kd 6.6 and 81.5 nM) in the adult SR vesicles. SR vesicles isolated from fetal and adult hearts were separated on discontinuous sucrose gradients into light (free) and heavy (junctional) SR vesicles. Heavy SR vesicles isolated from adult hearts exhibited most of the Ca2+ release activities. In contrast, Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, pH-induced Ca2+ release and ryanodine receptors were detected in both light and heavy fetal SR. These results suggest that fetal SR may not be morphologically and functionally as well differentiated as that of adult cardiac muscle and that it may contain a greater number of Ca2+-release channels than that present in adult SR membranes. 相似文献

The mechanism of calcium transport across the plasma membrane of chromaffin cells was studied using plasma membrane vesicles prepared from cells of adrenal medulla. Purification of the plasma membrane was about 30-fold, based on the alpha-bungarotoxin binding activity. The isolated membrane vesicles have both Na+/Ca2+ exchange and calcium pump activities. The Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity increased with the free calcium concentration and was not saturated at 1 mM, the highest concentration tried. The K1/2 of the calcium pump for calcium is 0.06 microM. Part of the Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity was inhibited by preincubation of the membrane vesicles with veratridine and the effect of veratridine was reversed by tetrodotoxin. The calcium taken up by the calcium pump was released by 0.005% saponin, but was not affected by oxalate. The calcium taken up by the calcium pump was released by exchanging with the external sodium, which suggests that the two calcium transport systems are located on the same population of membrane vesicles. The above evidence indicates that both calcium transport activities are located on the plasma membrane and not on contaminating organelle membranes. The significance of the two calcium transport systems in regulation of cytosolic calcium concentration of chromaffin cells is discussed. 相似文献

The Neurospora plasma membrane Ca2+ pump 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Plasma membrane vesicles isolated from the eukaryotic microorganism Neurospora crassa by the concanavalin A method catalyze Mg2+-ATP dependent 45Ca2+ accumulation. Since the ATP-responsive vesicles are functionally inverted, the Ca2+ transport system presumably operates as a Ca2+ exit pump in the intact cell. The mechanism of the Ca2+ pump system involves two components: 1) an electrogenic, proton-translocating ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3), which utilizes the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis to generate a transmembrane electrical potential and pH gradient, and 2) a Ca2+/H+ antiporter, which utilizes the transmembrane pH gradient to energize the active transport of Ca2+. Evidence for this mechanism is presented and the possible implications of these findings for the mechanisms of Ca2+ pumps in other cells are discussed. 相似文献

In the absence of oxalate, Ca2+ accumulation by isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles may show a transient behavior in which the vesicles accumulate during the first 2 min of incubation as much as twice the amount of Ca2+ which is retained after 5-7 min, when Ca2+ accumulation approaches a steady state. Before Ca2+ release begins, the Ca2+ accumulation can reach 200-250 nmol/mg protein. The spontaneous release of the "extra" Ca2+ initially accumulated appears to be triggered by the attainment of a sufficiently high concentration of free Ca2+ inside the vesicles. The amplitude of the transient phase of Ca2+ accumulation reaches a high value near pH 6.0 and is increased by free Mg2+. At optimal concentrations of H+ and Mg2+, the amount of Ca2+ accumulated during the transient is augmented by various anions, in the order maleate > or = propionate > or = succinate > chloride > sulfate > acetylglycine. The divalent anions have their maximum effects at 20-40 mM and the monovalent anions, at 40-200 mM. At 200 mM, all of the carboxylic anions tested significantly reduce the amount of Ca2+ retained in the steady state. 相似文献

A high-affinity plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase in Dictyostelium discoideum: its relation to cAMP-induced Ca2+ fluxes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chemotactic stimulation of Dictyostelium discoideum induces an uptake of Ca2+ by the cells followed by a release of Ca2+. In this study we investigated the mechanism of Ca2+ release and found that it was inhibited by La3+, Cd2+ and azide. Ca2+ release occurred in the absence of external Na+, indicating that an Na+/Ca2+ exchange was not involved. Plasma membranes contained high- and low-affinity ATPase activities. Apparent K0.5 values were 8 microM for the major Mg2+-ATPase and 1.1 microM for the high-affinity Ca2+-ATPase, respectively. The Mg2+-ATPase activity was inhibited by elevated concentrations of Ca2+, whereas both Ca2+-ATPases were active in the absence of added Mg2+. The activities of the Ca2+-ATPases were not modified by calmodulin. The high-affinity Ca2+-ATPase was competitively inhibited by La3+ and Cd2+; we suggest that this high-affinity enzyme mediates the release of Ca2+ from D. discoideum cells. 相似文献

The ouabain-insensitive, active Na+ uptake of inside-out vesicles prepared with basolateral plasma membranes from rat kidney proximal tubular cells can be increased by the presence of micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ in the assay medium. The concomitant ATP hydrolysis associated with the Na+ uptake is also increased by the presence of Ca2+. The Na+ uptake and the concomitant ATP hydrolysis are inhibited by 2 mM furosemide. The effect of Ca2+ is not due to the activity of an Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. The present results are in accordance with our previous model (Proverbio, F., Proverbio, T. and Marín, R. (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 688, 757-763) in which we proposed that Ca2+ seems to modulate the activity of the ouabain-insensitive Na+ pump, in two different ways: (1) in a strong association with the membranes in which Ca2+ (stable component) is essential for the pump activity and (2) in a weak association with the membranes in which Ca2+ (labile component) can be quickly and easily removed by reducing the free Ca2+ concentration of the assay medium to values lower than 1 microM. The Ka for Ca2+ (for the labile component) is around 5 microM. The Ca2+ modulation of the ouabain-insensitive Na+ pump is an indication that Ca2+ could regulate the magnitude of the Na+ extrusion accompanied by Cl- and water present in rat kidney proximal tubular cells. 相似文献

An intracellular (ATP + Mg2+)-dependent calcium pump within the N1E-115 neuronal cell line 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
An intracellular (ATP + Mg2+)-dependent Ca2+ pumping mechanism has been identified and characterized within the cultured clonal neuroblastoma cell line N1E-115. Using cell suspensions treated with 0.005% saponin which selectively permeabilizes the plasma membrane in 95-98% of the cells, it was possible to show clearly that the intracellular Ca2+ pump mechanism is of non-plasma membrane origin and therefore can be compared directly with the Ca2+ pump characterized in detail in synaptosomal membrane vesicles (Gill, D. L., Grollman, E. F., and Kohn, L. D. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 184-192; Gill, D. L., Chueh, S. H., and Whitlow, C. L. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 10807-10813) which was proven by flux reversal studies to be derived from the neural plasma membrane (Gill, D. L. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 10986-10990). The intracellular Ca2+ pump in N1E-115 cells is distinct from mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation and is increased up to 8-fold higher as cells reach confluency. In similarity to the neural plasma membrane pump, the intracellular Ca2+ pump within N1E-115 cells has high affinity for Ca2+ (Km = 0.28 microM), is dependent on both ATP (Km = 26 microM) and either Mg2+ or Mn2+ which half-maximally activate Ca2+ pumping at 0.35 mM and 0.32 mM, respectively, and shows similar specificity for Sr2+ and Ba2+ which half-maximally inhibit Ca2+ transport at 50 microM and 1.5 mM, respectively. In contrast to the neural plasma membrane pump, the intracellular Ca2+ pump displays approximately 40-fold higher sensitivity to La3+ (IC50 = 5 microM) and an apparent 400-fold lower sensitivity to VO4(3-) (IC50 = 185 microM), although the inhibitory effectiveness of VO4(3-) is increased 37-fold by a 15-min preincubation of the permeabilized cells with VO4(3-) in the absence of ATP (apparent IC50 = 5 microM). In further contrast to the neural plasma membrane Ca2+ pump, the intracellular pump within N1E-115 cells is stimulated more than 20-fold by oxalate (giving prolonged linear Ca2+ accumulation), is resistant to low saponin concentrations, and is not modified by calmodulin even after extensive treatment with ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid and/or calmodulin antagonist drugs. However, calmidazolium is effective in inhibiting the intracellular Ca2+ pump with an IC50 of approximately 2 microM. 相似文献

Cells were subjected to a range of 45Ca2+ influx loads with A23187. We measured cell 45Ca2+ with time and A23187 dose, and the apparent 45Ca2+ influxes (identical to "J(in,app)") at Ca2+ steady state. We also measured endogeneous exchangeable and total cell Ca2+, which were 50 and 17-220 microM respectively. The effects of A23187 and Ca2+ on cell ATP, swelling, net Cl- permeability, and cell morphology were measured. These were modest and do not affect our conclusions. J(in,app) congruent to 3 X 10(-4) [A23187]2.9 X [Ca2+(o)]mumoles/l X min with 92-552 microM [Ca2+(o)] (identical to external Ca2+ concentration) and 0-7 microM A23187. J(in,app) was increased an order of magnitude by vanadate and is probably much less than the true influx. The least unlikely explanation found for the high [A23187] exponent, 2.9, was that most of the Ca2+ crossing the membrane is expelled by the pump before it can move deeper into the cell. Calcium pumping increased rapidly in response to increased influx, but the steady state cell 45Ca2+ was approximately proportional to J(in,app) rather than approximately constant between 10 and 120 mumoles/l X min with 184 microM [Ca2+(o)]. This is not the result expected from a simple feedback mechanism. At high A23187 doses the pump appears fully activated resulting in a linear relation between cell/medium 45Ca2+ and [A23187]-2. From the plot we calculated alpha identical to free/total exchangeable Ca2+ = 0.38 +/- 0.08 (n = 3) and a maximum pump rate, "Pmax" = 78 mumole/l X min. Pmax is underestimated insofar as J(in,app) is less than the true influx. 相似文献

In a recent model developed to explain the apparent "quantal" nature of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3)-induced Ca2+ release from specific intracellular stores, it was proposed that Ca2+ release from the stores may itself be modulated by intraluminal levels of Ca2+, possibly via an action at a binding site on the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor/Ca2+ channel complex. Essential predictions of this model include a specific effect of intraluminal Ca2+ levels on the sensitivity of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release and a non-exponential decay of passive Ca2+ loss from the store following inhibition of the Ca2+ pump on the store. However, in measurements of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release and passive Ca2+ loss in permeabilized preparations of a model exocrine cell under conditions of thapsigargin-induced store depletion, we found that neither of these predicted behaviors could be demonstrated. 相似文献

It was previously shown that cGMP enhances cAMP-induced Ca2+-influx in Dictyostelium discoideum. This finding is based on experiments done with strains defective in cGMP-hydrolysis, the streamer F cells. In this work, we show that these chemically mutagenized cells display different properties in their cAMP-induced light-scattering response and cAMP-induced Ca2+-influx compared with a cGMP-phosphodiesterase knock-out strain, pdeD KO, generated by homologous recombination. PdeD KO cells possess a reduced Ca2+-influx that is developmentally regulated. This finding contradicts the result of streamer F cells, where cAMP-induced Ca2+-influx is prolonged and elevated. Both mutants, however, showed a three to four-fold delayed response to cAMP at 3-4h of starvation. Thus, the consequence of an elevated cGMP concentration is a delay and an inhibition of Ca2+-influx and not an enhancement. Results obtained with streamer F cells should therefore be interpreted with caution because the mutation(s) responsible for the divergent phenotype to pdeD KO cells has not been identified. We show by the use of membrane-permeant cGMP-analogues in wild type (wt) cells, permeabilized cells and measurements on isolated vesicles that the cause for the reduced Ca2+-influx seems to be due to developmentally regulated Ca2+-channel inhibition by cGMP. 相似文献

The Ca2+ pump of the plasma membrane of human red blood cells is associated with the activity of a (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. Both the ATPase and the pump are stimulated above basal activities by calmodulin, an ubiquitous Ca2+-binding protein. Calmodulin isolated from human red blood cells was shown to be equipotent and equieffective with that isolated from beef brain. Half-maximal activation of ATPase (isolated red blood cell membranes, 37 C) and transport (inside-out red blood cell membrane vesicles, 25 C) were obtained with 2.5 and 4.4 nM calmodulin, respectively. Ca2+ dependence of Ca2+ transport was measured in the absence and in the presence of 50 nM calmodulin. At all Ca2+ concentrations above 2 X 10(-7) M Ca2+, the rate of transport was greater in the presence of calmodulin. The results implicate calmodulin in the regulation of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump, but the mechanism(s) remain to be elucidated. 相似文献
