The acidocalcisome is an acidic calcium store in trypanosomatids with a vacuolar-type proton-pumping pyrophosphatase (V-H(+)-PPase) located in its membrane. In this paper, we describe a new method using iodixanol density gradients for purification of the acidocalcisome from Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes. Pyrophosphatase assays indicated that the isolated organelle was at least 60-fold purified compared with the large organelle (10,000 x g) fraction. Assays for other organelles generally indicated no enrichment in the acidocalcisome fraction; glycosomes were concentrated 5-fold. Vanadate-sensitive ATP-driven Ca(2+) uptake (Ca(2+)-ATPase) activity was detectable in the isolated acidocalcisome, but ionophore experiments indicated that it was not acidic. However, when pyrophosphate was added, the organelle acidified, and the rate of Ca(2+) uptake increased. Use of the indicator Oxonol VI showed that V-H(+)-PPase activity generated a membrane potential. Use of sulfate or nitrate in place of chloride in the assay buffer did not affect V-H(+)-PPase activity, but there was less activity with gluconate. Organelle acidification was countered by the chloride/proton symport cycloprogidiosin. No vacuolar H(+)-ATPase activity was detectable in isolated acidocalcisomes. However, immunoblots showed the presence of at least a membrane-bound V-H(+)-ATPase subunit, while experiments employing permeabilized epimastigotes suggested that vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and V-H(+)-PPase activities are present in the same Ca(2+)-containing compartment. 相似文献

The leaf tonoplast V-H(+)-Atpase activity of a C3 halophyte Suaeda salsa is enhanced by salt stress in a Ca-dependent mode 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Suaeda salsa seedlings grown in Hoagland nutrient solution were treated with different concentrations of NaCl combined with two levels of Ca2+ (0 and 20 mmol/L) to study the effect of Ca2+ nutrition on the growth and activity of leaf tonoplast V-H(+)-ATPase. Increase of Ca2+ concentration in the solution markedly increased the relative growth quantity of S. salsa seedlings and Ca2+ and K+ concentration in the leaf cell sap under NaCl stress. The leaf V-H(+)-ATPase activity was significantly increased with increasing NaCl concentration under high Ca2+ application (20 mmol/L), but little changed under Ca2+ starvation (0 mmol/L). Western blot analysis showed that the leaf V-H(+)-ATPase of S. salsa was at least composed of A, B, D and c subunits, and their protein amounts were not affected by NaCl treatments under Ca2+ starvation (0 mmol/ L) with an exception of 100 mmol/L NaCl, but increased under high Ca2+ application (20 mmol/L). There was a positive correlation between activity of V-H(+)-ATPase and the protein amounts of the subunits. The results suggest that Ca2+ nutrition played an important role in the salt tolerance of S. salsa, and that enhancement of V-H(+)-ATPase activity under salt stress was Ca2(+)-dependent. 相似文献

SERCA1a, the fast-twitch skeletal muscle isoform of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, was expressed in yeast using the promoter of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Golgi PMR1 Ca(2+)-ATPase and the vacuole PMC1 Ca(2+)-ATPase function together in Ca2+ sequestration and Ca2+ tolerance. SERCA1a expression restored growth of pmc1 mutants in media containing high Ca2+ concentrations, consistent with increased Ca2+ uptake in an internal compartment. SERCA1a expression also prevented synthetic lethality of pmr1 pmc1 double mutants on standard media. Electron microscopy and subcellular fractionation analysis showed that SERCA1a was localized in intracellular membranes derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. Finally, we found that SERCA1a ATPase activity expressed in yeast was regulated by calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase. This result indicates that calcineurin contributes to calcium homeostasis by modulating the ATPase activity of Ca2+ pumps localized in intra-cellular compartments. 相似文献

Acidocalcisomes are acidic calcium storage compartments described initially in trypanosomatid and apicomplexan parasites. In this work, we describe organelles with properties similar to acidocalcisomes in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Nigericin and NH(4)Cl released (45)Ca(2+) from preloaded permeabilized cells, suggesting the incorporation of a significant amount of this cation into an acidic compartment. X-ray microanalysis of the electron-dense vacuoles or polyphosphate bodies of C. reinhardtii showed large amounts of phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and zinc. Immunofluorescence microscopy, using antisera raised against a peptide sequence of the vacuolar type proton pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase) of Arabidopsis thaliana which is conserved in the C. reinhardtii enzyme, indicated localization in the plasma membrane, in intracellular vacuoles, and the contractile vacuole where it colocalized with the vacuolar proton ATPase (V-H(+)-ATPase). Purification of the electron-dense vacuoles using iodixanol density gradients indicated a preferential localization of the H(+)-PPase and the V-H(+)-ATPase activities in addition to high concentrations of PP(i) and short and long chain polyphosphate, but lack of markers for mitochondria and chloroplasts. In isolated electron-dense vacuoles, PP(i)-driven proton translocation was stimulated by potassium ions and inhibited by the PP(i) analog aminomethylenediphosphonate. Potassium fluoride, imidodiphosphate, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and N-ethylmaleimide also inhibited PP(i) hydrolysis in the isolated organelles in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that the electron-dense vacuoles of C. reinhardtii are very similar to acidocalcisomes with regard to their chemical composition and the presence of proton pumps. Polyphosphate was also localized to the contractile vacuole by 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining, suggesting, with the immunochemical data, a link between these organelles and the acidocalcisomes. 相似文献

We investigated the involvement of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in mediating V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane in gills of alkalotic Squalus acanthias. Immunolabeling revealed that CA is localized in the same cells as V-H(+)-ATPase. Blood plasma from dogfish injected with acetazolamide [30 mg/kg at time (t) = 0 and 6 h] and infused with NaHCO(3) for 12 h (1,000 microeq.kg(-1).h(-1)) had significantly higher plasma HCO(3)(-) concentration than fish that were infused with NaHCO(3) alone (28.72 +/- 0.41 vs. 6.57 +/- 2.47 mmol/l, n = 3), whereas blood pH was similar in both treatments (8.03 +/- 0.11 vs. 8.04 +/- 0.11 pH units at t = 12 h). CA inhibition impaired V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane, as estimated from immunolabeled gill sections and Western blotting on gill cell membranes (0.24 +/- 0.08 vs. 1.00 +/- 0.28 arbitrary units, n = 3; P < 0.05). We investigated V-H(+)-ATPase translocation during a postfeeding alkalosis ("alkaline tide"). Gill samples were taken 24-26 h after dogfish were fed to satiety in a natural-like feeding regime. Immunolabeled gill sections revealed that V-H(+)-ATPase translocated to the basolateral membrane in the postfed fish. Confirming this result, V-H(+)-ATPase abundance was twofold higher in gill cell membranes of the postfed fish than in fasted fish (n = 4-5; P < 0.05). These results indicate that 1) intracellular H(+) or HCO(3)(-) produced by CA (and not blood pH or HCO(3)(-)) is likely the stimulus that triggers the V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane in alkalotic fish and 2) V-H(+)-ATPase translocation is important for enhanced HCO(3)(-) secretion during a naturally occurring postfeeding alkalosis. 相似文献

Ca2(+)-ATPase, which does not require Mg2+ for its activation, was separated from Mg2(+)-ATPase by papain treatment of a membrane-rich fraction of bovine parotid gland. The enzyme was partially purified 48-fold by subsequent chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, gel filtration on HPLC, and ion-exchange HPLC. The enzyme showed a molecular weight of 100,000, as estimated by gel filtration on HPLC. The Ca2(+)-ATPase was activated by Ca2+ but not by Mg2+, and this enzyme did not require Mg2+ for its activation by Ca2+. In fact, Mg2+ was inhibitory. p-Nitrophenyl phosphate was not hydrolyzed in the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+, and this enzyme had no activities of other phosphatases tested. These results suggest that the Ca2(+)-ATPase is a separate enzyme from Mg2(+)-ATPase, Ca2(+)-stimulated Mg2(+)-dependent ATPase, and alkaline phosphatase, all of which are well known to be present in other tissues. 相似文献

The effect of endothelin (ET) on the intracellular pH (pHi) of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), was investigated using a fluorescent pH indicator 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). ET at concentrations of over 10(-9) M caused dose-dependent transient acidification followed by Na(+)-dependent and amiloride-sensitive alkalization of the cells due to stimulation of Na+/H+ exchange. The alkalization induced by ET was Ca2(+)-dependent and was inhibited by a calcium channel blocker, nicardipine. Pretreatment with H-7, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, also inhibited the ET-induced cell alkalization. These results indicate that ET stimulates Na+/H+ exchange, resulting in alkalization of VSMC and that this ET-induced cell-alkalization is probably linked to Ca2+ influx and activation of protein kinase C. 相似文献

The root microsomal proteomes of salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive wheat lines under salt stress were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrum. A wheat V-H(+)-ATPase E subunit protein was obtained whose expression was enhanced by salt stress. In silicon cloning identified the full-length cDNA sequences of nine subunits and partial cDNA sequences of two subunits of wheat V-H(+)-ATPase. The expression profiles of these V-H(+)-ATPase subunits in roots and leaves of both salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive wheat lines under salt and abscisic acid (ABA) stress were analyzed. The results indicate that the coordinated enhancement of the expression of V-H(+)-ATPase subunits under salt and ABA stress is an important factor determining improved salt tolerance in wheat. The expression of these subunits was tissue-specific. Overexpression of the E subunit by transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana was able to enhance seed germination, root growth and adult seedling growth under salt stress. 相似文献

The ATPase activities were studied in rat erythrocytes permeabilized with saponin. The concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions were varied within the range of 0.1-60 microM and 50-370 microM, respectively, by using EGTA-citrate buffer. The maximal activity of Ca2(+)-ATPase of permeabilized erythrocytes was by one order of magnitude higher, whereas the Ca2(+)-binding affinity was 1.5-2 times higher than that in erythrocyte ghosts washed an isotonic solution containing EGTA. Addition of the hemolysate restored the kinetic parameters of ghost Ca2(+)-ATPase practically completely, whereas in the presence of exogenous calmodulin only part of Ca2(+)-ATPase activity was recovered. Neither calmodulin nor R24571, a highly potent specific inhibitor of calmodulin-dependent reactions, influenced the Ca2(+)-ATPase activity of permeabilized erythrocytes. At Ca2+ concentrations below 0.7 microM, ouabain (0.5-1 mM) activated whereas at higher Ca2+ concentrations it inhibited the Ca2(+)-ATPase activity. Taking this observation into account the Na+/K(+)-ATPase was determined as the difference of between the ATPase activities in the presence of Na+ and K+ and in the presence of K+ alone. At physiological concentration of Mg2+ (370 microM), the addition of 0.3-1 microM Ca2+ increased Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity by 1.5-3-fold. Higher concentrations of this cation inhibited the enzyme. At low Mg2+ concentration (e.g., 50 microM) only Na+/K(+)-ATPase inhibition by Ca2+ was seen. It was found that at [NaCl] less than 20 mM furosemide was increased ouabain-inhibited component of ATPase in Ca2(+)-free media. This activating effect of furosemide was enhanced with a diminution of [Na+] upto 2 mM and did not reach the saturation level unless the 2 mM of drug was used. The activating effect of furosemide on Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity confirmed by experiments in which the ouabain-inhibited component was measured by the 86Rb+ influx into intact erythrocytes. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of the Ca2(+)-pump ATPase of cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles by exogenously added protein kinases was examined to elucidate the molecular basis for its regulation. The Ca2(+)-pump ATPase was isolated from protein kinase-treated sarcolemmal vesicles using a monoclonal antibody raised against the erythrocyte Ca2(+)-ATPase. Protein kinase C (C-kinase) was found to phosphorylate the Ca2(+)-ATPase. The stoichiometry of this phosphorylation was about 1 mol per mol of the ATPase molecule. The C-kinase activation resulted in up to twofold acceleration of Ca2+ uptake by sarcolemmal vesicles due to its effect on the affinity of the Ca2+ pump for Ca2+ in both the presence and absence of calmodulin. Both the phosphorylation and stimulation of ATPase activity by C kinase were also observed with a highly-purified Ca2(+)-ATPase preparation isolated from cardiac sarcolemma with calmodulin-Sepharose and a high salt-washing procedure. Thus, C-kinase appears to stimulate the activity of the sarcolemmal Ca2(+)-pump through its direct phosphorylation. In contrast to these results, neither cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase nor Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II phosphorylated the Ca2(+)-ATPase in the sarcolemmal membrane or the purified enzyme preparation, and also they exerted virtually no effect on Ca2+ uptake by sarcolemmal vesicles. 相似文献

Preincubation of human erythrocyte membranes with calcium in the submillimolar to millimolar concentration range resulted in an increase of the Ca2+ affinity and apparent maximum velocity of the Ca2(+)-stimulated Mg2(+)-dependent ATPase (Ca2(+)-ATPase). The activation was persistent, as it was not reversed when the Ca2(+)-preincubated membranes were washed with ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid-containing buffers. Magnesium was not required for the activation, whereas greater than 2 mM Mg2+ partially antagonized the activation by Ca2+. In some membrane preparations ATP was required in addition to Ca2+ for activation of the Ca2(+)-ATPase, but nonhydrolyzable analogs of ATP had the same effect. Calmodulin prevented the activation by Ca2+ over the same concentration range in which it interacts with the Ca2(+)-ATPase. Taken together the results obtained provided strong evidence that the Ca2+ activation of the enzyme was not due to proteolytic cleavage by endogenous calpain. Thus, activation by Ca2+ was not blocked by leupeptin (100-200 microM), did not require dithiothreitol, and occurred at Ca2+ concentrations greater than those required for activation of calpain I. Furthermore, Ca2+ activation did not result in change in the mobility the native 136-kDa species of the Ca2(+)-ATPase on SDS-gel electrophoresis. Moreover, solubilization of the Ca2(+)-pretreated membranes with Triton X-100 reversed the Ca2+ activation of the Ca2(+)-ATPase. On the other hand, Ca2(+)-pretreatment of the membranes modified the susceptibility of the Ca2(+)-ATPase to both cleavage and activation by exogenously added calpain I. We conclude that pretreatment of Ca2(+)-ATPase in erythrocyte membranes with millimolar Ca2+ activates the enzyme by inducing a persistent conformational change of the enzyme which is, however, subsequently reversed by detergent solubilization. 相似文献

Basing on the data available in literature and authors' investigations the mechanism of local alkalization of the myoplasm by proton efflux attended by Ca2+ influx is mic reticulum and may be the main link in the process of electrochemical coupling in the skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. Experimental evidence for participation of Ca2(+)-ATPase in the passive transport of calcium through sarcoplasmic membrane is given. 相似文献

Functional reconstitution of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase with phospholamban in phospholipid vesicles 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The Ca2(+)-ATPase in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is under regulation by phospholamban, an oligomeric proteolipid. To determine the molecular mechanism by which phospholamban regulates the Ca2(+)-ATPase, a reconstitution system was developed, using a freeze-thaw sonication procedure. The best rates of Ca2+ uptake (700 nmol/min/mg reconstituted vesicles compared with 800 nmol/min/mg SR vesicles) were observed when cholate and phosphatidylcholine were used at a ratio of cholate/phosphatidylcholine/Ca2(+)-ATPase of 2:80:1. The EC50 values for Ca2+ were 0.05 microM for both Ca2+ uptake and Ca2(+)-ATPase activity in the reconstituted vesicles compared with 0.63 microM Ca2+ in native SR vesicles. Inclusion of phospholamban in the reconstituted vesicles was associated with a significant inhibition of the initial rates of Ca2+ uptake at pCa 6.0. However, phosphorylation of phospholamban by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase reversed the inhibitory effect on the Ca2+ pump. Similar findings were observed when a peptide, corresponding to amino acids 1-25 of phospholamban, was used. These findings indicate that phospholamban is an inhibitor of the Ca2(+)-ATPase in cardiac SR and phosphorylation of phospholamban relieves this inhibition. The mechanism by which phospholamban inhibits the Ca2+ pump is unknown, but our findings with the synthetic peptide suggest that a direct interaction between the Ca2(+)-ATPase and the hydrophilic portion of phospholamban may be one of the mechanisms for regulation. 相似文献

The localisation of the vacuolar proton pump (V-H+ -ATPase) and the enzyme carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) was investigated in the human eccrine sweat gland employing standard immunohistochemical techniques after antigen retrieval using microwave heat treatment and high pressure. The high-pressure antigen retrieval unmasked the presence of V-H+ -ATPase in the clear cells of the secretory coil, with a distribution similar to that previously observed for CAII. However, the dark cells were unreactive to both antibodies. In addition, heat and high-pressure antigen retrieval demonstrated the presence of CAII in the apical zone of luminal cells of the reabsorptive duct, a location not previously reported. The localisation of V-H+ -ATPase and CAII in the secretory coil clear cells suggests that the formation of HCO3- and H+ by carbonic anhydrase II and the transport of H+ by V-H+ -ATPase may play an role in sweat fluid secretion. Their presence at the apex of the duct cells indicates involvement in ductal ion reabsorption. 相似文献

We report the presence of the ion transporting proteins V-H(+)-ATPase, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase and NHE2 in the gill epithelium of the Pacific hagfish Epatretus stoutii. Heterologous antibodies recognized single bands of the appropriate sizes for the three transporters in western blots. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the distribution of labeled cells in the gill epithelium was identical for the three proteins. Immunopositive cells were most abundant in the primary filament from the afferent side of the gill pouch, and their number diminished towards the lamella. Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase-like immunoreactivity (L-IR) occurred throughout the cell cytoplasm, probably associated to the basolateral tubular system. V-H(+)-ATPase L-IR was similar to Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, although some cells had slightly heavier staining in either the supra- or infra-nuclear region. NHE2 L-IR was also generally cytoplasmic, but a minority of the cells had stronger immunoreactivity in the apical region. In general, all three ion transporting proteins were localized in the same cells, as estimated from 4-microm immunostained consecutive sections. We hypothesize that these putative ion-transporting cells are involved in systemic acid/base regulation and discuss other possible roles. This is the first report of V-H(+)-ATPase in myxinoids, and the first NHE2 report in the Pacific hagfish. 相似文献

We examined the effect of protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation on Ca2+ uptake and ATP hydrolysis by microsomal as well as purified sarcolemmal Ca2(+)-ATPase preparations isolated from bovine aortic smooth muscle. The phosphorylation was performed by treating these preparations with PKC and saturating concentrations of ATP (or ATP-gamma S), Ca2+, and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) at 37 degrees C for 10 min. In microsomes, treatment with PKC enhanced a portion of the Ca2+ uptake activity inhibitable by 10 microM vanadate, by up to about 30%. On the other hand, Ca2(+)-dependent ATPase activity in the purified Ca2(+)-ATPase preparation was stimulated by up to twofold. Up to twofold stimulation by PKC was also observed for the Ca2+ uptake by proteoliposomes reconstituted from purified sarcolemmal Ca2(+)-ATPase and phospholipids. Since these effects were evident only at Ca2+ concentrations between 0.1 to 1.0 microM, we concluded that it was the affinity of the Ca2(+)-ATPase for Ca2+ that was increased by the PKC treatment. Under conditions in which PKC increased Ca2+ pump activity, the sarcolemmal Ca2(+)-ATPase was phosphorylated to a level of about 1 mol per mol of the enzyme. There was good parallelism between the ATPase phosphorylation and the extent of enzyme activation. These results strongly suggest that the activity of the sarcolemmal Ca2+ pump in vascular smooth muscle is regulated through its direct phosphorylation by PKC. 相似文献

Treatment of Ca2(+)-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum with V8 protease from Staphylococcus aureus produced appreciable amounts of a Ca2(+)-ATPase fragment (p85) in the presence of Ca2+ (E1 conformation of the enzyme), along with many other peptide fragments that were also formed in the presence of [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (E2 conformation). p85 was formed as a carboxyl-terminal cleavage product of Ca2(+)-ATPase by a split of the peptide bond between Glu-231 and Ile-232. Other conformation-dependent V8 splits were localized to the "hinge" region, involved in ATP binding, between the middle and COOH-terminal one-third of the Ca2(+)-ATPase polypeptide chain. Representative split products in this region (p48,p31) were identified as NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal cleavage products of p85. In the membrane p85 probably remains associated with its complementary NH2-terminal fragment(s) and retains the capacity to bind Ca2+ as evidenced by resistance to V8 degradation in Ca2+ and ability to become phosphorylated by ATP. However, the hydrolysis rate of the phosphorylated enzyme is reduced, indicating that peptide cleavage at Glu-231 interferes with Ca2+ transport steps after phosphorylation. Binding of Ca2+ to V8 and tryptic fragments of Ca2(+)-ATPase was studied on the basis of Ca2(+)-induced changes in electrophoretic mobility and 45Ca2+ autoradiography after transfer of peptides to Immobilon membranes. These data indicate binding by the NH2-terminal 1-198 amino acid residues (corresponding to the tryptic A2 fragment) and the COOH-terminal 715-1001 amino acid residues (corresponding to p31). By contrast the central portion of Ca2(+)-ATPase, including the NH2-terminal portion of p85, is devoid of Ca2+ binding. These results question an earlier proposition that Ca2(+)-binding is located to the "stalk" region of Ca2(+)-ATPase (Brandl, C. J., Green, N. M., Korczak, B., and MacLennan, D. H.) (1986) Cell 44, 597-607) but are in agreement with recent data obtained by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of Ca2(+)-ATPase (Clarke, D. M., Loo, T. W., Inesi, G., and MacLennan, D. H. (1989) Nature 339, 476-478). These different studies suggest that Ca2+ translocation sites may have an intramembranous location and are formed predominantly by the carboxyl-terminal part of the Ca2(+)-ATPase polypeptide chain. 相似文献

S. cervi showed particulate bound Ca2+ ATPase and Na+,K(+)-ATPase activities while Mg2+ ATPase was detected in traces. ATPase of S. cervi was also differentiated from the nonspecific p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. Female parasite and microfilariae exhibited higher Ca2+ ATPase and Na+,K(+)-ATPase activities than the male adults and the enzyme Na+,K(+)-ATPase was mainly concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract of the filarial parasite. Na+,K(+)-ATPase of the filariid was ouabain-sensitive while Ca2(+)-ATPase activity was regulated by concentration of Ca2+ ions and inhibited by EGTA. Phenothiazines, viz. trifluoperazine, promethazine and chlorpromazine caused significant inhibition of Ca2+ ATPase and Na+,K(+)-ATPase. Diethylcarbamazine was a potent inhibitor of these ATPases. Mebendazole, levamisole and centperazine also caused significant inhibition of the ATPases indicating this enzyme system as a common target for the action of anthelmintic drugs. 相似文献

The mechanism by which GTP induces Ca2+ release from Ca2(+)-preloaded rat hepatic microsomes was studied. In the same concentration range as that for Ca2+ release, GTP inhibited the initial rate of ATP-driven Ca2+ uptake. It also inhibited the formation by ATP of the phosphorylated intermediate of Ca2(+)-ATPase, which had previously been identified by us as a 97-116 kDa protein (Fleschner, C.R., et al. (1985) Biochem. J. 226, 839). Vanadate, an inhibitor of Ca2(+)-ATPase, also caused Ca2+ release in a similar fashion, but its effect was not additive to that of GTP. Although the non-metabolizable GTP analogues, GMPPNP and GTP gamma S, did not cause Ca2+ release by themselves, GTP gamma S completely and GMPPNP partially blocked the effect of GTP. Pretreatment of vesicles with either cholera or pertussis toxin did not alter the responsiveness to GTP. These results indicate that GTP inhibits microsomal Ca2(+)-ATPase, independently of the Gs and Gi proteins. Because a decrease in Ca2+ uptake results in a net increase in Ca+ release, this effect of GTP seems to account, at least partially, for the GTP-induced Ca2+ release from microsomes. 相似文献

A proposed mechanism of action of hypoglycemic sulfonylureas is the prevention of transglutaminase-mediated endocytosis of insulin receptors. When activated by high levels of intracellular calcium, transglutaminase (TG) catalyzes the cross-linking of intracellular proteins to membrane proteins and modifies membrane structure and function. This study examined the effects of the sulfonylurea glipizide on TG activity in an erythrocyte model by assessing various membrane ATPase activities and high molecular weight protein polymer formation using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. To activate TG, red blood cells were exposed to 1 mM intracellular Ca2+ using 10(-5) M Ca2(+)-ionophore A23187. In Ca2(+)-stressed cells, calmodulin stimulation (0.1 micrograms/ml) of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was decreased to 21.2% of control activity. Increasing concentrations of calmodulin (0.1-3.0 micrograms/ml) could not overcome the inhibitory effects of TG on the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase in Ca2(+)-stressed cells with or without glipizide. An increased Ca2+ sensitivity of calmodulin-independent (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase due to Ca2+ stress was seen in all Ca2(+)-stressed cells even in the presence of 1 mM glipizide. Structural changes were observed in the form of high molecular weight polymer formation. Cells exposed to high Ca2+ and glipizide (3 x 10(-5)-10(-3) M) showed no improvement in ATPase activity or protection from protein cross-linking compared with cells without the drug. We conclude that in this model glipizide fails to inhibit TG induced protein cross-linking and does not prevent the decrease in (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activation in Ca2(+)-stressed red blood cells. This finding considerably weakens the proposal that sulfonylureas act by inhibiting TG activity. 相似文献
