Characterization of a High-Affinity Mg2+-Independent Ca2+-ATPase from Rat Brain Synaptosomal Membranes

A high-affinity Mg2+-independent Ca2+-ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase) has been differentiated from the Mg2+-dependent, Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase) in rat brain synaptosomal membranes. Using ATP as a substrate, the K0.5 of Ca2+ for Ca2+-ATPase was found to be 1.33 microM with a Km for ATP of 19 microM and a Vmax of 33 nmol/mg/min. Using Ca-ATP as a substrate, the Km for Ca-ATP was found to be 0.22 microM. Unlike Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase was not inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, trifluoperazine, lanthanum, zinc, or vanadate. La3+ and Zn2+, in contrast, stimulated the enzyme activity. Unlike Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity, ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake was negligible in the absence of added Mg2+, indicating that the Ca2+ transport into synaptosomal endoplasmic reticulum may not be a function of the Ca2+-ATPase described. Ca2+-ATPase activity was not stimulated by the monovalent cations Na+ or K+. Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase demonstrated a substrate preference for ATP and ADP, but not GTP, whereas Ca2+-ATPase hydrolyzed ATP and GTP, and to a lesser extent ADP. The results presented here suggest the high-affinity Mg2+-independent Ca2+-ATPase may be a separate form from Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. The capacity of Mg2+-independent Ca2+-ATPase to hydrolyze GTP suggests this protein may be involved in GTP-dependent activities within the cell.     

Dibutyryl-Cyclic GMP Stimulation of Ca2+-ATPase Activity in Rat Brain Synaptic Membranes

The effects of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (db-cAMP) and dibutyryl cyclic GMP (db-cGMP) were tested on Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activities in lysed synaptosomes prepared from whole rat brains (minus cerebellum). At concentrations from 0.1 to 2.0 mM, db-cGMP produced a selective, concentration-dependent increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity. Both db-cGMP and db-cAMP slightly reduced Mg2+-ATPase activity, whereas neither compound had concentration-dependent effects on (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity. These findings suggest that the Mg2+-independent, Ca2+-ATPase activity in rat brain is regulated by a cyclic GMP-dependent process. Further, the data provide evidence that the Ca2+-ATPase activity in lysed synaptosomal membranes represents an enzyme that is distinguishable from both the Mg2+ -and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase.     

Effect of tricyclohexylhydroxytin on synaptosomal Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis and rat brain subcellular calmodulin

Effect of tricyclohexylhydroxytin (plictran) on Ca2+-ATPase activity was studied in rat brain synaptosomes under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Plictran inhibited basal Ca2+-ATPase activity with an IC50 value of 6 nM suggesting its interaction with calcium transport phenomenon. Plictran inhibited calmodulin (CaM) activated Ca2+-ATPase in a concentration-dependent manner. A complete reversal of calmodulin activation of Ca2+-ATPase was observed with 2-3 nM plictran. A 50 per cent decrease of CaM activated Ca2+-ATPase was observed with 0.5 nM plictran, a concentration at which no significant effect was observed on basal enzyme activity. Of all the brain fractions studied, calmodulin levels in P2 fractions alone were reduced significantly to about 75 per cent of control values in plictran treated rats. The synaptosomal Ca2+-ATPase was also decreased by 35 per cent, 42 per cent and 65 per cent in 10, 20 and 40 mg plictran kg-1 day-1 treated rats for 3 days respectively. The activity levels of Ca2+-ATPase in 10 and 20 mg plictran kg-1 day-1 treated rats were restored to normal level by exogenously added calmodulin. These results suggest that plictran may disrupt synaptic function by altering calcium and calmodulin regulated processes in the central nervous system.     

重金属离子对猪红细胞膜Ca~(2+)-ATP酶的作用

猪红细胞膜Ca~(2+)-ATP酶是一种钙调蛋白(CaM)依赖酶,其活力又依赖巯基的完整性。实验应用Ca~(2+)-ATP酶这一模型体系观察到重金属离子,Pb~(2+)、Cd~(2+)和Hg~(2+)都能替代Ca~(2+),激活CaM,从而激活Ca~(2+)-ATP酶;其最大刺激活力分别为85％、80％和30％,半刺激浓度分别为32、27和0.7μmol/L。当三种重金属离子的浓度增加时,则与Ca~(2+)-ATP酶的巯基结合,抑制酶的活力,Pb2~(2+)、Cd~(2+)和Hg~(2+)的半抑制浓度分别为370、440和2μmol/L。抑制作用为渐进性过程,而刺激作用为即时效应。抑制作用可为巯基化物,特别是二巯基化物所逆转。研究结果提示,CaM可能是重金属中毒最初作用的靶分子,而重金属中毒不仅使CaM“开关”失灵,还可能导致细胞内Ca~(2+)的调节全面失控。     

Activatory effect of calcium-binding protein regucalcin on ATP-dependent calcium transport in the basolateral membranes of rat kidney cortex

The effect of regucalcin, a calcium-binding protein, on ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport in the basolateral membranes isolated from rat kidney cortex was investigated. The prepared membranes were in inside-out oriented and membrane vesicles. Ca2+-ATPase activity in the basolateral membranes was progressively elevated by increasing concentrations of regucalcin (10-8 to 10-6 M) in the reaction mixture. This increase was dependent on Ca2+ addition. The activatory effect of regucalcin on the enzyme is inhibited by the presence of digitonin (5 × 10-6%) which can solubilize the membranous lipids. Moreover, the regucalcin effect was clearly abolished by the presence of vanadate (0.1 mM) or N-ethylmaleimide (5.0 mM). However, the effect of calmodulin (6 × 10-7 M) to increase Ca2+-ATPase activity was not significantly inhibited by vanadate or N-ethylmaleimide, indicating that the action mode of regucalcin differs from that of calmodulin. Also, the activatory effect of regucalcin on Ca2+-ATPase was appreciably inhibited by addition of dibutyryl cAMP (10-5 and 10-3 M), while inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (10-7 and 10-5 M) had no effect. Dibutyryl cAMP itself did not have an effect on the enzyme activity. Furthermore, the 45Ca2+ uptake by the basolateral membranes was clearly increased by the presence of regucalcin (10-7 and 10-6 M). This increase was completely blocked by the presence of vanadate (0.1 mM), N-ethylmaleimide (5.0 mM) or dibutyryl cAMP (10-4 and 10-3 M) in the reaction mixture. These results clearly demonstrate that regucalcin, which is expressed in rat kidney cortex, can increase Ca2+-ATPase activity and Ca2+ uptake in the basolateral membranes. Regucalcin may play a cell physiologic role as an activator in the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pumps in the basolateral membranes from rat kidney cortex.     

Effects of Al3+ on Ca2+-ATPase Activity on Chloroplasts of Rice and Relation to Calmodulin

The relationship between aluminium phytotoxicity and calmodulin has been studied with. calcium-dependent ATPase in chloroplasts of rice. This enzyme could be activated by extrinsic calmodulin. It showed that the activity of Ca2+-ATPase in chloroplasts was regulated by calmodulin. The activation of calmodulin to the enzyme might be inhibited by calmodulin antagonists, TFP and CPZ. The effects of A13+ on the activation of calmodulin was similar to that of the calmodulin antagonists. Calcium could reduce the inhibition of aluminiutn. It seems that there is a model of toxic responses in plants to aluminium: Al3+→calmodulin→target enzy mes→metabolism.     

Modulation of the low affinity Ca2+-binding sites of skeletal muscle and blood platelets Ca2+-ATPase by nordihydroguaiaretic acid

The antioxidant nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) inhibited the different sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase isoforms found in skeletal muscle and blood platelets. For the sarcoplasmic reticulum, but not for the blood platelets Ca2+-ATPase, the concentration of NDGA needed for half-maximal inhibition was found to vary depending on the substrate used and its concentration in the assay medium. The phosphorylation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase by ATP and by Pi were both inhibited by NDGA. In leaky vesicles, measurements of the ATP Pi exchange showed that NDGA increases the affinity for Ca2+ of the E2 conformation of the enzyme, which has low affinity for Ca2+. The effects of NDGA on the Ca2+-ATPase were not reverted by the reducing agent dithiothreitol nor by the lipid-soluble antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene.     

Effects of Opiates on High-Affinity Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase in Brain Membrane Subfractions

The effect of a single administration of morphine sulfate (15 mg/kg, s.c. or 30 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min) on Ca2+-stimulated Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity was investigated in synaptosomal plasma membranes (SPM) prepared from rat cortex. Morphine produced a significant decrease in Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity in synaptosomal fractions (SPM 1 + 2) known to contain a high density of opiate receptors and calmodulin-dependent Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. However, in another subpopulation (SPM 3) that contains fewer opiate receptors and less enzyme activity, no such decrease in the enzyme activity was observed after the opiate administration. The decrease in Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity seen in SPM 1 + 2 was specifically antagonized by the opiate antagonist naloxone hydrochloride (2 mg/kg, s.c.) when given 15 min before morphine administration. Mg2+-ATPase was not altered either by morphine or by a naloxone-morphine combination. These findings give further evidence for the role of intracellular Ca2+ in mediating many of the acute effects of opiates.     

Calmodulin Stimulation of Ca2+-Dependent ATP Hydrolysis and ATP-Dependent Ca2+ Transport in Synaptic Membranes

We report here characterization of calmodulin-stimulated Ca2+ transport activities in synaptic plasma membranes (SPM). The calcium transport activity consists of a Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis coupled with ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake into membraneous sacs on the cytosolic face of the synaptosomal membrane. These transport activities have been found in synaptosomal subfractions to be located primarily in SPM-1 and SPM-2. Both Ca2+-ATPase and ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake require calmodulin for maximal activity (KCm for ATPase = 60 nM; KCm for uptake = 50 nM). In the reconstituted membrane system, KCa was found to be 0.8 microM for Ca2+-ATPase and 0.4 microM for Ca2+ uptake. These results demonstrate for the first time the calmodulin requirements for the Ca2+ pump in SPM when Ca2+ ATPase and Ca2+ uptake are assayed under functionally coupled conditions. They suggest that calmodulin association with the membrane calcium pump is regulated by the level of free Ca2+ in the cytoplasm. The activation by calmodulin, in turn, regulates the cytosolic Ca2+ levels in a feedback process. These studies expand the calmodulin hypothesis of synaptic transmission to include activation of a high-affinity Ca2+ + Mg2+ ATPase as a regulator for cytosolic Ca2+.     

Regulation of Na+, K+ -ATPase Isoforms in Rat Neostriatum by Dopamine and Protein Kinase C

Our previous studies showed that dopamine inhibits Na+,K+-ATPase activity in acutely dissociated neurons from striatum. In the present study, we have found that in this preparation, dopamine inhibited significantly (by approximately 25%) the activity of the alpha3 and/or alpha2 isoforms, but not the alpha1 isoform, of Na+,K+-ATPase. Dopamine, via D1 receptors, activates cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in striatal neurons. Dopamine is also known to activate the calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC) in a number of different cell types. The PKC activator phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate reduced the activity of Na+,K+-ATPase alpha3 and/or alpha2 isoforms (by approximately 30%) as well as the alpha1 isoform (by approximately 15%). However, dopamine-mediated inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase activity was unaffected by calphostin C, a PKC inhibitor. Dopamine did not affect the phosphorylation of Na+,K+-ATPase isoforms at the PKA-dependent phosphorylation site. Phorbol ester treatment did not alter the phosphorylation of alpha2 or alpha3 isoforms of Na+,K+-ATPase in neostriatal neurons but did increase the phosphorylation of the alpha1 isoform. Thus, in rat neostriatal neurons, treatment with either dopamine or PKC activators results in inhibition of the activity of specific (alpha3 and/or alpha2) isoforms of Na+,K+-ATPase, but this is not apparently mediated through direct phosphorylation of the enzyme. In addition, PKC is unlikely to mediate inhibition of rat Na+,K+-ATPase activity by dopamine in neostriatal neurons.     

Calmodulin and Ca2+- and Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase in Rat Anterior Pituitary Gland

Calmodulin and Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase were identified in the rat anterior pituitary gland. The concentration of calmodulin was 1.18 +/- 0.11 microgram/mg protein (n = 7) in the cytosol fraction. The calmodulin of the anterior pituitary gland co-migrated with brain calmodulin on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Ka value of the partially purified enzyme for Ca2+ was 3.3 microM in the presence of 0.30 microM calmodulin. Trifluoperazine and chlorpromazine, calmodulin-interacting agents, inhibited enzyme activity, with Ki values of 1.3 and 2.6 X 10(-5) M, respectively. The enzyme was resolved into two peaks of activity, with sedimentation coefficients of 5.5 S and 16.5 S, by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. At least nine proteins were phosphorylated by the enzyme in a Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent manner. In light of these results, the possibility that calmodulin and the calmodulin-activatable protein kinase system are involved in the mediation of the Ca2+ effect on hormone release from the anterior pituitary gland must be given consideration.

Characterization of Calcium-Activated and Magnesium-Activated ATPases of Brain Nerve Endings

The properties of Ca2+-activated and Mg2+-activated ATPases of nerve endings from mouse brain were investigated. Ca2+ and Mg2+ each can activate ATP hydrolysis in synaptosomes and its subfractions. Both Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase exhibit high and low affinity for their respective cations. At millimolar concentrations of Ca2+ or Mg2+, several nucleoside triphosphates could serve as substrate for the two enzymes and their specific activities were about three to four times higher in synaptic vesicles than in synaptosomal plasma membranes (SPM). Both in SPM and in synaptic vesicles the relative activity in the presence of Ca2+ was in the order of CTP greater than UTP greater than GTP = ATP, but with Mg2+ the activity was higher with ATP than with the other three triphosphates. Mg2+-ATPase was more active than Ca2+-ATPase in SPM, but in synaptic vesicles the two enzymes exhibited similar activity. Kinetic studies revealed that Mg2+-ATPase was inhibited by excess ATP and not by excess Mg2+. The simultaneous presence of Na+ + K+ stimulated Mg2+-ATPase and inhibited Ca2+-ATPase activity in intact synaptosomes and SPM. The stimulation of Mg2+-ATPase by Na+ + K+ was further increased by increasing Mg2+ concentration and was inhibited by Ca2+ and by ouabain. When Ca2+ and Mg2+ are present together in SPM or synaptic vesicles, the total Pi liberated by the two cations may either increase or decrease, depending on their relative concentrations. Kinetic analyses indicate that Ca2+ and Mg2+ bind independently to the enzyme alone or together at different sites. The results suggest that Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase in SPM or synaptic vesicles may be separate and distinct systems.     

Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors, mGlu1a and mGlu5a, couple to cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) through a common Ca2+ - and protein kinase C-dependent pathway

Coupling of the group I metabotropic glutamate receptors, mGlu1a and mGlu5a, to the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) has been studied in Chinese hamster ovary cell lines where receptor expression is under the control of an inducible promoter. Both receptors stimulate CREB phosphorylation with similar time courses, and agonist potency was also comparable between the two receptors. Stimulation of cells in Ca(2+)-free medium containing EGTA (100 microm), with or without the additional depletion of intracellular stores, caused marked decreases in agonist-mediated responses in both cell lines. Down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC) activity by phorbol ester treatment, or treatment with the broad spectrum PKC inhibitor Ro 31-8220, partially attenuated both mGlu1a and mGlu5a receptor-mediated responses. Furthermore, stimulation of cells in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) following prior PKC down-regulation resulted in additive inhibitory effects. The involvement of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2), Ca(2+)/calmodulin or Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases was assessed using pharmacological inhibitors. Results indicated that coupling of the group I mGlu receptors to CREB phosphorylation occurs independently of these pathways. Thus, although the [Ca(2+)](i) signatures activated by these mGlu receptors differ, they couple to CREB with comparable potency and recruit similar downstream components to execute CREB phosphorylation.     

Structural Association of Endoplasmic Reticulum with Other Membrane Systems in Populus deltoides Apical Bud Cells and Its Alterations During the Short Day-induced Dormancy

A comparative study was carried out on the EM-cytochemical localization of calcium and Ca2+-ATPase activity in the suspension-cultured cells between the chilling-sensitive maize (Zea mays L. cv. Black Mexican Sweet) and chilling-insensitive Trititrigia (Triticum sect. Trititrigia mackey) at 4 ℃ chilling. When maize and Tyititrigia cells were cultured at 26 ℃, electron microscopic observations revealed that the electron-dense calcium antimonate deposits, an indication of the calcium localization, were localized mainly in the vacuoles, and few was found in the cytosol and nuclei. The electron-dense cerium phosphate deposits, an indication of Ca2+-ATPase activity, were abundantly distributed on the plasma membrane (PM). When the cells from both species were cultured at 4 ℃ for 1 and 3 h, an elevation of Ca2+ level in the cytosol and nuclei was observed, whereas the cerium phosphate deposits on the PM showed no quantitative difference from those of the 26 ℃-cultured cells, indicating that the enzymatic activities were not altered during these chilling periods. However, there was a distinct difference in the dynamics of the Ca2+ distribution and the PM Ca2+-ATPase activity between maize and Trititrigia when chilled at 4 ℃ for 12, 24 and 72 h. In maize cells, a large number of Ca2+ deposits still existed in the cytosol and nuclei, and the PM Ca2+-ATPase became less and less active, and even inactive at all. In Trititrigia cells, the increased cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+ ions decreased after 12 h chilling. By chilling up to 24 and 72 h, the intracellular Ca2+ concentration had been restored to a similar low level as those of the warm temperature-cultured cells, while the activity of the PM Ca2+-ATPase maintained high. The transient cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+ increase and the activities of PM Ca2+-ATPase during chilling are discussed in relation to plant cold hardiness.     

Ca2+– and Calmodulin-Dependent Phosphorylation of Microtubule-Associated Protein 2 and t Factor, and Inhibition of Microtubule Assembly

Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) were phosphorylated by a Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase from rat brain cytosol. The maximal amount of phosphate incorporated into MAPs was 25 nmol of phosphate/mg protein. A Ka value of the enzyme for calmodulin was 57.0 nM, with MAPs as substrates. Among MAPs, MAP2 and tau factor were phosphorylated in a Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent manner. The phosphorylation of MAPs led to an inhibition of microtubule assembly in accordance with its degree. This reaction was dependent on addition of the enzyme, Ca2+, and calmodulin, and had a greater effect on the initial rate of microtubule assembly rather than on the final extent. The critical tubulin concentration for microtubule assembly was unchanged by the MAPs phosphorylation. Therefore assembly and disassembly of brain microtubule are regulated by the Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that requires only a nanomolar concentration of calmodulin for activation.     

Ischemia-Induced Translocation of Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II: Potential Role in Neuronal Damage

The activities of Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent, Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent, and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases (CaM-KII, PKC, and PKA, respectively) were determined in rat brains after global ischemia. Both CaM-KII and PKC activities were significantly depressed in both hippocampal and cerebral cortical regions of ischemic animals, whereas no change was detected in PKA activity. The loss of CaM-KII activity was more dramatic and more sustained than the loss of PKC activity and correlated with the duration of ischemia. These decreases in enzyme activity were found in both supernatant and pellet fractions from crude homogenates. When the supernatant and pellet were analyzed for the amount of CaM-KII 50-kDa protein, a significant decrease was detected in supernatant fractions that paralleled a gain in the amount of CaM-KII in the pellet. Thus, the loss of CaM-KII activity in the supernatant can be explained by translocation of the enzyme to the pellet. Whether inactivation of CaM-KII occurs during or after the enzyme translocates from the supernatant to the pellet is unknown. Our results indicate that loss in CaM-KII activity parallels neuronal damage associated with ischemia; down-regulation of CaM-KII activity coincided with translocation of the enzyme to the particulate fraction, and it is proposed that this may be, in fact, a mechanism for controlling excessive CaM-KII phosphorylation.

Properties of (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-ATPase of erythrocyte membranes prepared by different procedures: Influence of Mg2+, Ca2+, ATP,and protein activator

Erythrocyte membranes prepared by three different procedures showed (Mg²⁺ + Ca²⁺)-ATPase activities differing in specific activity and in affinity for Ca²⁺. The (Mg²⁺ + Ca²⁺)-ATPase activity of the three preparations was stimulated to different extents by a Ca²⁺-dependent protein activator isolated from hemolystes. The Ca²⁺ affinity of the two most active preparations was decreased as the ATP concentration in the assay medium was increased. Lowering the ATP concentration from 2 mM to 2–200 μM or lowering the Mg:ATP ratio to less than one shifted the (Mg²⁺ + Ca²⁺)-ATPase activity in stepwise hemolysis membranes from mixed “high” and “low” affinity to a single high Ca²⁺ affinity. Membranes from which soluble proteins were extracted by EDTA (0.1 mM) in low ionic strengh, or membranes prepared by the EDTA (1–10 mM) procedure, did not undergo the shift in the Ca²⁺ affinity with changes in ATP and MgCl₂ concentrations. The EDTA-wash membranes were only weakly activated by the protein activator. It is suggested that the differences in properties of the (Mg²⁺ + Ca²⁺)-ATPase prepared by these three procedures reflect differences determined in part by the degree of association of the membrane with a soluble protein activator and changes in the state of the enzyme to a less activatable form.     

外源Ca2+对高温强光胁迫下滨梅幼苗的保护效应
