In the methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium extorquens strain AM1, MxaF, a Ca2+-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), is the main enzyme catalyzing methanol oxidation during growth on methanol. The genome of strain AM1 contains another MDH gene homologue, xoxF1, whose function in methanol metabolism has remained unclear. In this work, we show that XoxF1 also functions as an MDH and is La3+-dependent. Despite the absence of Ca2+ in the medium strain AM1 was able to grow on methanol in the presence of La3+. Addition of La3+ increased MDH activity but the addition had no effect on mxaF or xoxF1 expression level. We purified MDH from strain AM1 grown on methanol in the presence of La3+, and its N-terminal amino acid sequence corresponded to that of XoxF1. The enzyme contained La3+ as a cofactor. The ΔmxaF mutant strain could not grow on methanol in the presence of Ca2+, but was able to grow after supplementation with La3+. Taken together, these results show that XoxF1 participates in methanol metabolism as a La3+-dependent MDH in strain AM1. 相似文献

We have studied the activities of Ca2+-stimulated ATPase in rat heart sarcolemma upon modulating the redox state of membrane thiol groups with dithiothreitol (DTT). The suitability of alamethicin to unmask the latent activity of this enzyme was also investigated. The Ca2+-stimulated ATPase in sarcolemma exhibited two activation sites — one with low affinity (Km = 0.70 ± 0.2 mM; Vmax = 10.0 ± 2.2 mol Pi/mg/h) and the other with high affinity (Km = 0.16 ± 0.7 mM; Vmax = 4.6 ± 0.8 mol Pi/mg/h) for Mg2+ATP. Alamethicin at a ratio of 1:1 with the sarcolemmal protein caused a 3-fold activation of Ca2+-stimulated ATPase without affecting its sensitivity to Ca2+ or Mg2+ATP. Treatment of sarcolemma with deoxycholate or sodium dodecyl sulfate resulted in a total loss of the enzyme activity; high concentrations of alamethicin also showed a detergent-like action on the sarcolemmal vesicles. DTT at 5–10 mM concentrations caused a 4–5 fold activation of Ca2+-stimulated ATPase in sarcolemma and this effect was observed to be dependent on the concentration of Mg2+ATP. DTT increased the affinity of the enzyme to Mg2+ATP at the high affinity site and enhanced the Vmax at the low affinity site in addition to increasing the sensitivity of Ca2+-stimulated ATPase to Ca2+. DTT protected the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase against deterioration by detergents and restored the enzyme activity after treatment with N-ethylmaleimide. The mechanism of action of DTT on Ca2+-stimulated ATPase may involve the reduction of essential thiols at the active site of the enzyme or its interaction with specific DTT-dependent inhibitor protein. No changes in the sensitivity of sarcolemmal Ca2+-stimulated ATPase to orthovanadate was evident in the absence or presence of DTT and alamethicin. The results suggest the use of both DTT and alamethicin for the determination of Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity in sarcolemmal preparations. 相似文献

Activating effect of regucalcin on (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase in rat liver plasma membranes: relation to sulfhydryl group 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The activating mechanism of regucalcin, a calcium-binding protein isolated from rat liver cytosol, on (Ca2+–Mg2+)-ATPase in the plasma membranes of rat liver was investigated. (Ca2+–Mg2+)-ATPase activity was markedly increased by a sulfhydryl (SH) group protecting reagent dithiothreitol (DTT; 2.5 and 5 mM as a final concentration), while the enzyme activity was significantly decreased by a SH group modifying reagent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM; 0.5–5 mM). The effect of DTT (5 mM) to increase the enzyme activity was clearly blocked by NEM (5 mM). Regucalcin (0.25–1.0 M) significantly increased (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase activity. This increase was completely blocked by NEM (5 mM). Meanwhile, digitonin (0.04%), which can solubilize the membranous lipids, significantly decreased (Ca2+–Mg2+)-ATPase activity. Digitonin did not have an effect on the DTT (5 mM)-increased enzyme activity. However, the effect of regucalcin (0.25 M) increasing (Ca2+–Mg2+)-ATPase activity was entirely blocked by the presence of digitonin. The present results suggest that regucalcin activates (Ca2+–Mg2+)-ATPase by the binding to liver plasma membrane lipids, and that the activation is involved in the SH groups which are an active site of the enzyme. 相似文献

The thermotolerant methylotroph Bacillus sp. C1 possesses a novel NAD-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), with distinct structural and mechanistic properties. During growth on methanol and ethanol, MDH was responsible for the oxidation of both these substrates. MDH activity in cells grown on methanol or glucose was inversely related to the growth rate. Highest activity levels were observed in cells grown on the C1-substrates methanol and formaldehyde. The affinity of MDH for alcohol substrates and NAD, as well as V
max, are strongly increased in the presence of a M
r 50,000 activator protein plus Mg2+-ions [Arfman et al. (1991) J Biol Chem 266: 3955–3960]. Under all growth conditions tested the cells contained an approximately 18-fold molar excess of (decameric) MDH over (dimeric) activator protein. Expression of hexulose-6-phosphate synthase (HPS), the key enzyme of the RuMP cycle, was probably induced by the substrate formaldehyde. Cells with high MDH and low HPS activity levels immediately accumulated (toxic) formaldehyde when exposed to a transient increase in methanol concentration. Similarly, cells with high MDH and low CoA-linked NAD-dependent acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity levels produced acetaldehyde when subjected to a rise in ethanol concentration. Problems frequently observed in establishing cultures of methylotrophic bacilli on methanol- or ethanol-containing media are (in part) assigned to these phenomena.Abbreviations MDH

The fluorescence of microdissected pancreatic islets of ob/ob-mice was studied by microscope photometry after incubation with 10 μM chlorotetracycline. In Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer, excitation at 390 nm yielded peak emission at 530 nm, suggesting that chelated Ca2+ was the major source of fluorescence. In support of this interpretation, incubation in Ca2+-free buffer markedly decreased the fluorescence, whereas withdrawal of Mg2+ increased it. Raising the Mg2+ concentration to 15 mM suppressed the fluorescence. In the presence of Ca2+, the substitution of choline ions for Na+ increased the fluorescence considerably; in the absence of Ca2+, however, Na+ deficiency had only little effect. Control experiments showed that Na+ or choline ions had no effect on the fluorescence of Ca2+-chlorotetracycline in 70 or 90% methanol. In 90%, but not in 70%, methanol 15 mM Mg2+ slightly quenched the fluorescence from 2.5 mM Ca2+ and 10 μM chlorotetracycline. It is suggested that Na+, and perhaps Mg2+, tends to decrease the amount of membrane-bound Ca2+ in the pancreatic islets. 相似文献

1. Cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH) was purified 200-fold.2. Disc gel electrophoresis showed a single major band of activity of cMDH.3. MDH in crude cytoplasmic extract was less sensitive to Cd2+ than purified cytoplasmic MDH.4. Purified cMDH had a Km of 0.14 mM OAA.5. Concentrations of Cd2+ of 0.312 mM significantly inhibited the cMDH.6. The inhibition by Cd2+ was completely reversed by 1.54 and partly reversed by 0.56 mM 2-mercaptoethanol.7. The inhibition by Cd2+ was non-competitive. Calculated Ki values are below those reported for Cd2+-imidazole and Cd2+-cysteine interactions, but above those reported for other Cd2+-thiol group interactions. 相似文献

In order to gain some information regarding Ca2+-dependent ATPase, the enzyme was purified from cardiac sarcolemma and its properties were compared with Ca2+-ATPase activity of myosin purified from rat heart. Both Ca2+-dependent ATPase and myosin ATPase were stimulated by Ca2+ but the maximal activation of Ca2+-dependent ATPase required 4 mM Ca2+ whereas that of myosin ATPase required 10 mM Ca2+. These ATPases were also activated by other divalent cations in the order of Ca2+ > Mn2+ > Sr2+ > Br2+ > Mg2+; however, there was a marked difference in the pattern of their activation by these cations. Unlike the myosin ATPase, the ATP hydrolysis by Ca2+-dependent ATPase was not activated by actin. The pH optima of Ca2+-dependent ATPase and myosin ATPase were 9.5 and 6.5 respectively. Na+ markedly inhibited Ca2+-dependent ATPase but had no effect on the myosin ATPase activity. N-ethylmaleimide inhibited Ca2+-dependent ATPase more than myosin ATPase whereas the inhibitory effect of vanadate was more on myosin ATPase than Ca2+-dependent ATPase. Both Ca2+-dependent ATPase and myosin ATPase were stimulated by K-EDTA and NH4-EDTA. When myofibrils were treated with trypsin and passed through columns similar to those used for purifying Ca2+-ATPase from sarcolemma, an enzyme with ATPase activity was obtained. This myofibrillar ATPase was maximally activated at 3–4 mM Ca2+ and 3 to 4 mM ATP like sarcolemmal Ca2+-dependent ATPase. K+ stimulated both ATPase activities in the absence of Ca2+ and inhibited in the presence of Ca2+. Both enzymes were inhibited by Na+, Mg2+, La3+, and azide similarly. However, Ca2+ ATPase from myofibrils showed three peptide bands in SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis whereas Ca2+ ATPase from sarcolemma contained only two bands. Sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase had two affinity sites for ATP (0.012 mM and 0.23 mM) while myofibrillar Ca2+-ATPase had only one affinity site (0.34 mM). Myofibrillar Ca2+-ATPase was more sensitive to maleic anhydride and iodoacetamide than sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase. These observations suggest that Ca2+-dependent ATPase may be a myosin like protein in the heart sarcolemma and is unlikely to be a tryptic fragment of myosin present in the myofibrils. 相似文献

The role of a transmembrane Ca2+ gradient in anion transport by Band 3 of human resealed erythrocyte ghosts has been studied. The results show that a transmembrane Ca2+ gradient is essential for the conformation of erythrocyte Band 3 with higher anion transport activity. The dissipation of the transmembrane Ca2+ gradient by the ionophore A23187 inhibits the anion transport activity. The extent of this inhibition approaches 90% as the Ca2+ concentration on both sides of the ghost membrane is increased to 1.0 mM and half-maximum inhibition is observed at 0.25 mM Ca2+. Addition of ATP (0.4 mM) to the resealing medium can partly reestablish the transmembrane Ca2+ gradient by activation of Ca2+-ATPase and alleviate the inhibition to some extent. N-ethylmaleimide, an inhibitor of erythrocyte Ca2+-ATPase, prevents such restoration. Electron micrographs reveal that numerous larger intramembranous particles can be observed on the P-faces of freeze-fractured resealed ghosts in the absence of a transmembrane Ca2+ gradient.Abbreviations DPA

Oxidative stress appears to be implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases including hepatotoxicity. Although intracellular Ca2+ signals have been suggested to play a role in the oxidative damage of hepatocytes, the sources and effects of oxidant-induced intracellular Ca2+ increases are currently debatable. Thus, in this study we investigated the exact source and mechanism of oxidant-induced liver cell damage using HepG2 human hepatoma cells as a model liver cellular system. Treatment with 200 μM of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBOOH) induced a sustained increase in the level of intracellular reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) and apoptosis, assessed by 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence and flow cytometry, respectively. Antioxidants, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or N,N′-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine significantly inhibited both the ROI generation and apoptosis. In addition, tBOOH induced a slow and sustained increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration, which was completely prevented by the antioxidants. An intracellular Ca2+ chelator, bis-(o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid/cetoxymethyl ester significantly suppressed the tBOOH-induced apoptosis. These results imply that activation of an intracellular Ca2+ signal triggered by increased ROI may mediate the tBOOH-induced apoptosis. Both intracellular Ca2+ increase and induction of apoptosis were significantly inhibited by an extracellular Ca2+ chelator or Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blockers (bepridil and benzamil), whereas neither Ca2+ channel antagonists (verapamil and nifedipine) nor a nonselective cation channel blocker (flufenamic acid) had an effect. These results suggest that tBOOH may increase intracellular Ca2+ through the activation of reverse mode of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. However, tBOOH decreased intracellular Na+ concentration, which was completely prevented by NAC. These results indicate that ROI generated by tBOOH may increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration by direct activation of the reverse mode of Na+/Ca>2+ exchanger, rather than indirect elevation of intracellular Na+ levels. Taken together, these results suggest that the oxidant, tBOOH induced apoptosis in human HepG2 cells and that intracellular Ca2+ may mediate this action of tBOOH. These results further suggest that Na+/Ca2+ exchanger may be a target for the management of oxidative hepatotoxicity. 相似文献

The regulatory role of Ca2+-stimulated adenosine 5-triphosphatase (Ca2+-ATPase) in Ca2+ transport system of rat liver nuclei was investigated. Ca2+ uptake and release were determined with a Ca2+ electrode. Ca2+-ATPase activity was calculated by subtracting Mg2+-ATPase activity from (Ca2+–Mg2+)-ATPase activity. The release of Ca2+ from the Ca2+-loaded nuclei was evoked progressively after Ca2+ uptake with 1.0 mM ATP addition, while it was only slightly in the case of 2.0 mM ATP addition, indicating that the consumption of ATP causes a leak of Ca2+ from the Ca2+-loaded nuclei. The presence of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM; 0.1 mM) caused an inhibition of nuclear Ca2+ uptake and induced a promotion of Ca2+ release from the Ca2+-loaded nuclei. NEM (0.1 and 0.2 mM) markedly inhibited nuclear Ca2+-ATPase activity. This inhibition was completely blocked by the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT; 0.1 and 0.5 mM). Also, DTT inhibited the effect of NEM (0.1 mM) on nuclear Ca2+ uptake and release. Meanwhile, verapamil and diltiazem (10 M), a blocker of Ca2+ channels, did not prevent the NAD+ (1.0 and 2.0 mM), zinc sulfate (1.0 and 2.5 M) and arachidonic acid (10 M)-induced increase in nuclear Ca2+ release, suggesting that Ca2+ channels do not involve on Ca2+ release from the nuclei. These results indicates that an inhibition of nuclear Ca2+-ATPase activity causes the decrease in nuclear Ca2+ uptake and the release of Ca2+ from the Ca2+-loaded nuclei. The present finding suggests that Ca2+-ATPase plays a critical role in the regulatory mechanism of Ca2+ uptake and release in rat liver nuclei. 相似文献

Small unilamellar phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine liposomes incubated on one side of planar phosphatidylserine bilayer membranes induced fluctuations and a sharp increase in the membrane conductance when the Ca2+ concentration was increased to a threshold of 3–5 mM in 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4. Under the same ionic conditions, these liposomes fused with large (0.2 μm diameter) single-bilayer phosphatidylserine vesicles, as shown by a fluorescence assay for the mixing of internal aqueous contents of the two vesicle populations. The conductance behavior of the planar membranes was interpreted to be a consequence of the structural rearrangement of phospholipids during individual fusion events and the incorporation of domains of phosphatidylcholine into the Ca2+-complexed phosphatidylserine membrane. The small vesicles did not aggregate or fuse with one another at these Ca2+ concentrations, but fused preferentially with the phosphatidylserine membrane, analogous to simple exocytosis in biological membranes. Phosphatidylserine vesicles containing gramicidin A as a probe interacted with the planar membranes upon raising the Ca2+ concentration from 0.9 to 1.2 mM, as detected by an abrupt increase in the membrane conductance. In parallel experiments, these vesicles were shown to fuse with the large phosphatidylserine liposomes at the same Ca2+ concentration. 相似文献

The effect of regucalcin, a Ca2+-binding protein, on Ca2+ transport system in rat renal cortex microsomes was investigated. The presence of regucalcin (10-8 to 10-6 M) in the reaction mixture caused a significant increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity and ATP-dependent45 Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes. Regucalcin (10-7 M) increased Ca2+-ATPase activity independently of increasing concentrations of CaCl_2. The microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity and45 Ca2+ uptake were markedly decreased by the presence of vanadate (0.1 mM) or N-ethylmaleimide (NEM; 5 mM) in the absence or presence of regucalcin. Dithiothreitol (DTT; 5 mM) markedly elevated Ca2+-ATPase activity and 45Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes. The DTT effects were not further enhanced by regucalcin (10-7 M). Meanwhile, the microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity and 45Ca2+ uptake were significantly decreased by the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DcAMP; 10-5 and 10-3 M) or inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3; 10-7 and 10-5 M). The effect of regucalcin (10-7 M) on Ca2+ ATPase activity and 45Ca2+ uptake was weakened in the presence of DcAMP or IP3. The present results demonstrate that regucalcin has a stimulatory effect on ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes of rat renal cortex due to acting on the thiol groups of Ca2+-ATPase. 相似文献

The uncoupling of Ca2+ transport from ATP hydrolysis in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase by trypsin digestion was re-investigated by comparing ATPase activity with the ability of the enzyme to occlude Eu3+ (a transport parameter) after various tryptic digests. With this method, re-examination of uncoupling by tryptic digest of the ATPase revealed that TD2 cleavage (Arg-198) had no effect on either occlusion or ATPase activity. Digestion past TD2 in the presence of 5 mM Co2+ and at 25°C resulted in the loss of about 70% of the ATPase activity, but no loss of occlusion. Digestion past TD2 in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+, 3 mM ATP, and at 25°C resulted in a partially uncoupled enzyme complex which retained about 50% of the ATPase activity, but completely lost the ability to occlude Eu3+. Digest past TD2 in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+ and 3 mM AMP-PNP. (a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog) at 25°C resulted in no loss of occlusion, thus revealing the absolute requirement of ATP during the digest to eliminate occlusion. From these findings we conclude that uncoupling of Ca2+ transport from ATPase activity is possible by tryptic digestion of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. Interestingly, only after phosphorylation of the enzyme do the susceptible bond(s) which lead to the loss of occlusion become exposed to trypsin. 相似文献

The modulation of the Ca2+- (or Pb2+-)activated K+ permeability in human erythrocytes by vanadate, menadione and chloro-substituted menadione analogs was investigated by measurements of K+ fluxes and single-channel currents. Vanadate and menadione stimulate the K+ permeability by increasing the probability of channel openings; the menadione analogs, on the other hand, inhibit the K+ permeability by increasing the probability of channel closings. The compounds used in these experiments also interact with oxidoreductases; it is demonstrated that menadione analogs in contrast to menadione strongly inhibit the membrane-bound dehydrogenase in the erythrocytes. Concentrations of Pb2+ above 10 μmol/l, but not of Ca2+, inhibit the enzyme activity as well as the K+ permeability. The parallel effects on dehydrogenase activity and the K+ channels suggest a direct relationship between these two systems in the membrane of erythrocytes. 相似文献

Stimulatory GTP-binding Protein (Gs) and adenylate cyclase prepared from bovine brain cortices were co-reconstituted into asolectin vesicles with or without 1000-fold transmembrane Ca2+ gradient. The results showed that both basal activity and Gs-stimulated activity of adenylate cyclase were highest in proteoliposomes with a transmembrane Ca2+ gradient similar to physiological condition (1 M Ca2+ outside and 1 mM Ca2+ inside) and lowest when the transmembrane Ca2+ gradient was in the inverse direction. Such a difference could be diminished following dissipation of the transmembrane Ca2+ gradient by A23187. Comparable conformational changes of Gs in proteoliposomes were also observed when Gs was labeled with the fluorescence probe, acrylodan. These results may indicate that a proper transmembrane Ca2+ gradient is essential not only for higher adenylate cyclase activity but also for its stimulation by Gs. 相似文献

A physicochemical study of the Mag-indo1 binding to Ca2+ in solution showed that: (i) the characteristic fluorescence spectra of Ca2+-bound and Mg2+-bound Mag-indo1 are identical; (ii) two successive equilibria occur for increasing Ca2+ concentrations; and (iii) the value of the dissociation constant of the first one, as determined by using a probe dilution protocol, amounts to 780 nM. In order to investigate the fluorescence level of Mag-indo1 trapped in cell organelles, fluorescence spectra of Mag-indo1-loaded fibroblasts were recorded before and after a digitonin permeabilization. Their resolution into cation-bound, protein-bound, and free Mag-indo1 characteristic spectra allowed measurement of the fluorescence intensities of these species. The intensities emitted from whole cells were compared to those emitted from organelles (assumed to be endoplasmic reticulum according to a DiOC6 loading). The cation-bound Mag-indo1 fluorescence resulted partially (20 to 50%) from the cytosol for 30% of the cells, and totally from compartments for 70% of the cells. We found a concentration value of 500 nM for compartmentalized Ca2+ and concluded that the Mag-indo1 binding to Ca2+ is likely to affect drastically the Mg2+ concentration measurements in cells. Moreover, we showed that the amount variation of protein-bound Mag-indo1 also affects Mg2+ measurements when using the two-wavelength ratio method. 相似文献

We studied store-dependent (activated by depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum, ER, store) entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular medium into neurons of the rat spinal ganglia (small- and medium-sized cells; diameter, 18 to 36 μm).
Activation of ryanodine-sensitive receptors of the ER in the studied neurons superfused by Tyrode solutions containing Ca2+ or with no Ca2+ was provided by application of 10 mM caffeine. The decay phase of caffeine-induced calcium transients in a Ca2+-containing solution was significantly longer than that in a Ca2+-free solution. This fact allows us to suppose that such a phenomenon is determined by Ca2+ entry into the neuron from the extracellular medium activated by caffeine-induced depletion of the ER store. Substitution
of Ca2+-free extracellular solution by Ca2+-containing Tyrode solution, after depletion of the ER stores induced by applications of 100 nM ryanodine, 200 μM ATP, or
1 μM thapsigargin, resulted in increases in the concentration of intracellular Ca2+. These observations allow us to postulate that store-dependent Ca2+ entry into the studied neurons is activated after depletion not only of the inositol trisphosphate-sensitive ER store but
also of the ryanodine-sensitive store. This entry also occurs after blocking of ATPases of the ER by thapsigargin. The kinetic
characteristics of the rising phase of store-dependent Ca2+ entry induced by depletion of the ER stores under the influence of various agents are dissimilar; this can be related to
different mechanisms of activation of such signals and/or to a compartmental organization of the ER.

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) serve as electrical pacemakers in the rabbit urethra. Pacemaking activity in ICC results from spontaneous intracellular Ca2+ waves that rely on Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the action of protein kinase A (PKA) affected the generation of Ca2+ waves in ICC. Intracellular [Ca2+] was measured in fluo-4 loaded ICC, freshly isolated from the rabbit urethra using a Nipkow spinning disc confocal microscope. Application of the PKA inhibitor H-89 (10 μM) significantly inhibited the generation of spontaneous Ca2+ waves in ICC and this was associated with a significant decrease in the ER Ca2+ load, measured with 10 mM caffeine responses. Ca2+ waves could be rescued in the presence of H-89 by stimulating ryanodine receptors (RyRs) with 1 mM caffeine but not by activation of inositol 1,4,5 tri-phosphate receptors (IP3Rs) with 10 μM phenylephrine. Increasing intracellular PKA with the cAMP agonists forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP failed to yield an increase in Ca2+ wave activity. We conclude that PKA may be maximally active under basal conditions in ICC and that inhibition of PKA with H-89 leads to a decreased ER Ca2+ load sufficient to inactivate IP3Rs but not RyRs. 相似文献

Some kinetic parameters of the human red cell Ca2+-ATPase were studied on calmodulin-free membrane fragments following preincubation at 37°C. After 30 min treatment with EGTA(1 mm) plus dithioerythritol (1 mm), a V max of about 0.4 μmol Pi/mg × hr and a K s of 0.3 μm Ca2+ were found. When Mg2+ (10 mm) or Ca2+(10 μm) were also added during preincubation, V maxbut not Kwas altered. Ca2+ was more effective than Mg2+, thus increasing V max to about 1.3 μmol Pi/mg × hr. The presence of both Ca2+ and Mg2+ during pretreatment decreasedKto 0.15 μm, while having no apparent effect on V max. Conversely, addition of ATP (2 mm) with either Ca2+ or Ca2+ plus Mg2+increased Vmax without affecting K. Preincubation with Ca2+ for periods longer than 30 min further increased Vmaxand reduced Kto levels as low as found with calmodulin treatment. The Ca2+ activation was not prevented by adding proteinase inhibitors (iodoacetamide, 10 mm; leupeptin, 200 μm; pepstatinA, 100 μm; phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, 100 μm). The electrophoretic pattern of membranes preincubated with or without Mg2+, Ca2+ or Ca2+ plus Mg2+ did not differ significantly from each other. Moreover, immunodetection of Ca2+-ATPase by means of polyclonal antibodiesrevealed no mobility change after the various treatments. The above stimulation was not altered by neomycin (200 μm), washing with EGTA (5 mm) or by both incubating and washing with delipidized serum albumin (1 mg/ml), or omitting dithioerythritol from the preincubation medium. On the other hand, the activation elicited by Ca2+ plus ATP in the presence of Mg2+ was reduced 25–30% by acridine orange (100 μm), compound 48/80 (100 μm) or leupeptin (200 μm) but not by dithio-bis-nitrobenzoic acid (1 mm). The fluorescence depolarization of 1,6-diphenyl-and l-(4-trimethylammonium phenyl)-6-phenyl 1,3,5-hexatriene incorporated into membrane fragments was not affected after preincubating under the different conditions. The results show that proteolysis, fatty acid production, an increased phospholipid metabolism or alteration of membrane fluidity are not involved in the Ca2+ effect. Ca2+ preincubation may stimulate the Ca2+-ATPase activity by stabilizing or promoting the E1 conformation. 相似文献
