The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was reconstituted into phospholipid bilayers. The permeability of lipid bilayers to Co2+ and glucose was increased slightly by incorporation of the ATPase, and the permeability of mixed bilayers of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine increased with increasing content of phosphatidylethanolamine both in the presence and absence of the ATPase. The presence of the ATPase, however, resulted in a marked increase in permeability to Ca2+, the permeability decreasing with increasing phosphatidylethanolamine content. Permeability to Ca2+ was found to be dependent on pH and the external concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+, was stimulated by adenine nucleotides but was unaffected by inositol trisphosphate. A kinetic model is presented for Ca2+ efflux mediated by the ATPase. It is shown that the kinetic parameters that describe Ca2+ efflux from vesicles of sarcoplasmic reticulum also describe efflux from the vesicles reconstituted from the purified ATPase and phosphatidylcholine. It is shown that the effects of phosphatidylethanolamine on efflux can be simulated in terms of changes in the rates of the transitions linking conformations of the ATPase with inward- and outward-facing Ca2+-binding sites, and that effects of phosphatidylethanolamine on the ATPase activity of the ATPase can also be simulated in terms of effects on the corresponding conformational transitions. We conclude that the ATPase can act as a specific pathway for Ca2+ efflux from sarcoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

The purified calmodulin dependent (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (CaMg ATPase) from porcine antral smooth muscle transports Ca2+ after reconstitution in lipid vesicles indicating that this enzyme is indeed a Ca2+-transport ATPase. For CaMg ATPase reconstituted in asolectin vesicles a good correlation was found between the time course of Ca2+ accumulation and the corresponding changes in CaMg ATPase activity. The ATPase activity was stimulated 8-fold by A23187, which further indicates a tight coupling between ATP hydrolysis and Ca2+ transport. Asolectin vesicles with incorporated enzyme accumulated Ca2+ with a ratio approaching one Ca2+ ion transported for each ATP hydrolyzed. For CaMg ATPase reconstituted in phosphatidylcholine vesicles on the other hand, Ca2+ transport and CaMg ATPase were poorly coupled as is shown by the approximately 3.5 fold stimulation by A23187. The activity of the CaMg ATPase when reconstituted in asolectin vesicles was stimulated 1.25 fold by calmodulin while in phosphatidylcholine a value of 4.25 was obtained. The CaMg ATPase activity of the enzyme reconstituted either in asolectin or phosphatidylcholine was, after its stimulation by A23187, still further stimulated by detergent by a factor of 5.  相似文献

The passive Ca2+ permeability of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes is 10(4) to 10(61 times greater than that of liposomes prepared from natural or synthetic phospholipids. The contribution of membrane proteins to the Ca2+ permeability was studied by incorporating the purified [Ca2+ + Mg2+]-activated ATPase into bilayer membranes prepared from different phospholipids. The incorporation of the Ca2+ transport ATPase into the lipid phase increased its Ca2+ permeability to levels approaching that of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. The permeability change may arise from a reordering of the structure of the lipid phase in the environment of the protein or could represent a specific property of the protein itself. The calcium-binding protein of sarcoplasmic reticulum did not produce a similar effect. The increased rate of Ca2+ release from reconstituted ATPase vesicles is not a carrier-mediated process as indicated by the linear dependence of the Ca2+ efflux upon the gradient of Ca2+ concentration and by the absence of competition and countertransport between Ca2+ and other divalent metal ions. The increased Ca2+ permeability upon incorporation of the transport ATPase into the lipid phase is accompanied by similar increase in the permeability of the vesicles for sucrose, Na+, choline, and SO42- indicating that the transport ATPase does not act as a specific Ca2+ channel. Native sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes are asymmetric structures and the 75-A particles seen by freeze-etch electron microscopy are located primarily in the outer fracture face. In reconstituted ATPase vesicles the distribution of the particles between the two fracture faces is even, indicating that complete structural reconstitution was not achieved. The Ca2+ transport activity of reconstituted ATPase vesicles is also much less than that of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum. The density of the 40-A surface particles visible after negative staining of native or reconstituted vesicles is greater than that of the intramembranous particles and the relationship between these two structures remains to be established.  相似文献

Ca2+ transport across mammary-gland Golgi membranes was measured after centrifugation of the membrane vesicles through silicone oil. In the presence of 2.3 microM free Ca2+ the vesicles accumulated 5.8 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein without added ATP, and this uptake was complete within 0.5 min. In the presence of 1 mM-ATP, Ca2+ was accumulated at a linear rate for 10 min after the precipitation of intravesicular Ca2+ with 10 mM-potassium oxalate. ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake exhibited a Km of 0.14 microM for Ca2+ and a Vmax. of 3.1 nmol of Ca2+/min per mg of protein. Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis exhibited a Km of 0.16 microM for Ca2+ and a Vmax. of 10.1 nmol of Pi/min per mg of protein. The stoichiometry between ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-stimulated ATPase varied between 0.3 and 0.7 over the range 0.03-8.6 microM-Ca2+. Both Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-stimulated ATPase were strongly inhibited by orthovanadate, which suggests that the major mechanism by which Golgi vesicles accumulate Ca2+ is through the action of the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase. However, Ca2+ uptake was also decreased by the protonophore CCCP (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone), indicating that it may occur by other mechanisms too. The effect of CCCP may be related to the existence of transmembrane pH gradients (delta pH) in these vesicles: the addition of 30 microM-CCCP reduced delta pH from a control value of 1.06 to 0.73 pH unit. Golgi vesicles also possess a Ca2+-efflux pathway which operated at an initial rate of 0.5-0.57 nmol/min per mg of protein.  相似文献

It has been suggested that vesicles derived from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle contain Ca2+ channels which can be opened by interaction with sulfhydryl reagents such as Ag+ or Hg2+. We show that, in reconstituted vesicles containing the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum as the only protein, the ATPase can act as a pathway for Ca2+ efflux and that Ag+ induces a rapid release of Ca2+ from such reconstituted vesicles. We also show that Ag+ has a marked inhibitory effect on the ATPase activity of the purified ATPase. We suggest that the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase can act as a pathway for rapid Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

Preincubation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with propranolol or tetracaine inhibits Ca2+ accumulation and stimulates ATPase activity by more than 2-fold. This effect is obtained only when the preincubation is carried out in the presence of ATP or other nucleoside triphosphates. The (ATP + drug)-induced inhibition of Ca2+ accumulation is pH-dependent, increasing as the pH rises above 7.5. The presence of micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ or Mg2+ during the preincubation prevents the inhibitory effect of ATP plus drug on Ca2+ accumulation or ATPase activity. The (ATP + drug) modification of SR vesicles resulted in stimulation of a rapid Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded vesicles. The ATP-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ accumulation by the drug is obtained with other local anaesthetics. The drug concentration required for 50% inhibition was 0.15 mM for dibucaine and 0.4 mM for both propranolol and tetracaine, whereas it was 5 mM, 8 mM and greater than 10 mM for lidocaine, benzocaine and procaine respectively. The heavy SR vesicles were only slightly affected by the incubation with propranolol or tetracaine in the presence of ATP, but their sensitivity increased markedly after storage at 0 degrees C for 24-48 h. These results suggest that propranolol and some local anaesthetics, in the presence of ATP, stimulate Ca2+ efflux by modifying a protein factor(s) rather than the phospholipid bilayer.  相似文献

Incubation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in the presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, a methyl donor for the enzymatic N-methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine, increased Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity. The increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity was not due to changes in the affinity for Ca2+ and was prevented by methyl acetimidate, an inhibitor of phospholipid N-methylation. The results suggest a possible regulatory role of phospholipid N-methylation in SR Ca2+-pump mechanism.  相似文献

The fluorescence quenching properties of a brominated derivative of androstenol 5 alpha,6 beta-dibromoandrostan-3 beta-ol have been used to study binding to phospholipid bilayers and to the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscle. It is shown that androstenol is excluded from the phospholipid/protein interface of the ATPase but can bind to other (non-annular sites) on the ATPase. Binding to these sites increases in strength with decreasing chain length for the phospholipids present in the system. Binding is also stronger in the presence of phospholipids in the gel phase than in the liquid crystalline phase. Androstenol increases the ATPase activity of the ATPase reconstituted with phosphatidylcholines of chain lengths less than C18, but has no effect on activity for the ATPase reconstituted with phosphatidylcholines of chain lengths C18 or greater. The effects of cholestanols on the activity of the ATPase reconstituted with dimyristoleoylphosphatidylcholine depend on the configuration of the sterol, with 5 alpha-cholestan-3 alpha-ol having little effect but the other isomers causing a marked stimulation.  相似文献

Ca2+ was accumulated by right-side-out membrane vesicles of Bacillus subtilis following imposition of a diffusion potential, inside-negative, owing to K+-efflux via valinomycin. Uptake was dependent on the magnitude of the membrane potential. This voltage-dependent Ca2+ uptake was inhibited by Ca2+ channel blockers such as nitrendipine, verapamil and LaCl3, and was competitively inhibited by Ba2+ and Sr2+. The system showed saturation kinetics with an apparent Km for Ca2+ of about 250 microM. Proteins responsible for the voltage-dependent Ca2+ uptake were partially purified by preparative isoelectric focusing in a Sepharose bed. A fraction at pH 5.28-5.33 contained the activity. The characteristics of Ca2+ uptake in reconstituted proteoliposomes were the same as those in membrane vesicles (sensitive to Ca2+ channel blockers; inhibited by Ba2+ and Sr2+). In addition, uptake was not influenced by a pH gradient imposed on the vesicles. The apparent Km for Ca2+ in the reconstituted system was about 260 microM. The specific activity was increased about 50-fold by purification with isoelectric focusing.  相似文献

The effect of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methylation on Na+-Ca2+ exchange was studied in sarcolemmal vesicles isolated from rat heart. Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methylation following incubation of membranes with S-adenosyl-L-methionine, a methyl donor for the enzymatic N-methylation, inhibited Nai+-dependent Ca2+ uptake by about 50%. The N-methylation reaction did not alter the passive permeability of the sarcolemmal vesicles to Na+ and Ca2+ and did not modify the electrogenic characteristics of the exchanger. The depressant effect of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methylation on Nai+-dependent Ca2+ uptake was prevented by S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, an inhibitor of the N-methylation. Pretreatment of sarcolemma with methyl acetimidate hydrochloride, an amino-group-blocking agent, also prevented methylation-induced inhibition of Ca2+ uptake. In the presence of exogenous phospholipid substrate, the phospholipid N-methylation process in methyl-acetimidate-treated sarcolemmal vesicles was restored and the inhibitory effect on Ca2+ uptake was evident. These results suggest that phosphatidylethanolamine N-methylation influences the heart sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+ exchange system.  相似文献

The finding that negatively charged phospholipids activate the plasma-membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and that polycations counteract this stimulation suggest that negative charges in the environment of the ATPase protein could be important for its function. The aim of the present work was to investigate whether changing the charges on the ATPase protein itself by modifying the pH within the physiological range affects the activity of the purified plasma-membrane Ca2+ pump from stomach smooth muscle. Increasing the pH from 6.9 to 7.4 and using 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid (BAPTA) as a Ca2+ buffer, doubled the ATPase activity at 0.3 microM-Ca2+ in the presence of 100% phosphatidylcholine (PC) or after substituting 20% of the PC by negatively charged phospholipids PtdIns, PtdIns4P, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid. This stimulatory effect was due to an increased affinity of the enzyme for Ca2+, while the Vmax. remained unaffected. In the case of PtdIns(4,5)P2, a stimulatory effect upon alkalinization was only observed at a PtdIns(4,5)P2 concentration of 10%. When a concentration of 20% was used, alkalinization decreased the Vmax. and no stimulatory effect on the ATPase at 0.3 microM-Ca2+ could be observed. Alkalinization not only stimulated the purified Ca2+ pump, but it also increased the activity of the enzyme in a plasma-membrane-enriched fraction from stomach smooth muscle by a factor of 2.06. The ionophore A23187-induced Ca2+ uptake in closed inside-out vesicles also increased by a factor of 2.54 if the pH was changed from 6.9 to 7.4. This finding indicates that the effect of pH is most likely to be exerted at the cytoplasmic site of the Ca2+ pump protein.  相似文献

An essential feature of the function of the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is the close coupling between the hydrolysis of ATP and the active transport of Ca2+. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of other components of the SR membrane in regulating the coupling of Ca2+-ATPase in SR isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle, reconstituted SR, and purified Ca2+-ATPase/phospholipid complexes. Our results suggest that (1) it is possible to systematically alter the degree of coupling obtained in reconstituted SR preparations by varying the [KC1] present during cholate solubilization, (2) the variation in coupling is not due to differences in the permeability of the reconstituted SR vesicles to Ca2+, and (3) vesicles reconstituted with purified Ca2+-ATPase are extensively uncoupled under our experimental conditions regardless of the lipid/protein ratio or phospholipid composition. In reconstituted SR preparations prepared by varying the [KC1] present during cholate treatment, we find a direct correlation between the relative degree of coupling between ATP hydrolysis and Ca2+ transport and the level of the 53-kilodalton (53-kDa) glycoprotein of the SR membrane. These results suggest that the 53-kDa glycoprotein may be involved in regulating the coupling between ATP hydrolysis and Ca2+ transport in the SR.  相似文献

Membrane vesicles capable of energized Ca2+ pumping have been reconstituted from cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Cardiac SR was solubilized with Triton X-100 in a detergent to protein weight ratio of 0.8, and membranous vesicles were reconstituted by removal of detergent with Bio-Beads SM-2 (a neutral porous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer). The reconstituted vesicles exhibited ATP-dependent oxalate-facilitated Ca2+ accumulation with rates and efficiency comparable to the best reconstituted skeletal muscle preparation (Ca2+-loading rate = 1.65 +/- 0.31 mumol mg-1 min-1, Ca2+-activated ATPase activity = 2.39 +/- 0.25 mumol mg-1 min-1, efficiency (Ca2+/ATP) = 0.69 +/- 0.09). Phospholamban in the reconstituted vesicles was phosphorylated with added catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to almost the same extent as that in original vesicles. However, phosphorylation of phospholamban had no effect on the Ca2+ accumulation of the reconstituted vesicles. This is to be contrasted with a decrease in the half-maximal concentration of Ca2+ for Ca2+ accumulation (KCa) in the original vesicles from 1.35 +/- 0.08 microM to 0.75 +/- 0.12 microM by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of phospholamban. On the other hand KCa for the reconstituted vesicles was about 0.5 microM and remained unchanged by phosphorylation, indicating that the Ca2+ pump in the reconstituted vesicles is already fully activated. These results suggest that in normal cardiac SR, phospholamban in the dephosphorylated state acts as a suppressor of the Ca2+ pump and that phosphorylation of phospholamban serves to reverse the suppression.  相似文献

Anion dependence of (Ca2+ + K+)-stimulated Mg2+-dependent transport ATPase and its phosphorylated intermediate have been characterized in both "intact" and "broken" vesicles from endoplasmic reticulum of rat pancreatic acinar cells using adenosine 5'-[gamma-32P] triphosphate ([gamma-32P]ATP). In intact vesicles (Ca2+ + K+)-Mg2+-ATPase activity was higher in the presence of Cl- or Br- as compared to NO3-, SCN-, cyclamate-, SO4(2-) or SO3(2-). Incorporation of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into the 100-kDa intermediate of this Ca2+ATPase was also higher in the presence of Cl-, Br-, NO3- or SCN- as compared to cyclamate-, SO4(2-) or SO3(2-). When the membrane permeability barrier to anions was abolished by breaking vesicle membrane with the detergent Triton X-100 (0.015%) (Ca2+ + K+)-Mg2+ATPase activity in the presence of weakly permeant anions, such as SO4(2-) and cyclamate-, increased to the level obtained with Cl-. However, 32P incorporation into 100-kDa protein was still higher in the presence of Cl- as compared to cyclamate-, indicating a direct effect of Cl- on the Ca2+ATPase molecule. The anion transport blocker 4,4-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonate (DIDS) inhibited (Ca2+ + K+)-Mg2+ATPase activity to about 10% of the Cl- stimulation level, irrespective of the sort of anions present in both intact and broken vesicles. This indicates a direct effect of DIDS on (Ca2+ + K+)-Mg2+ATPase. K+ ionophore valinomycin influenced (Ca2+ + K+)-Mg2+ATPase activity according to the actual K+ gradient: Ko+ greater than Ki+ caused inhibition, Ko+ less than Ki+ caused stimulation. From these results we conclude that Ca2+ transport into endoplasmic reticulum is coupled to ion movements which must occur to maintain electroneutrality.  相似文献

Vesicles capable of phosphate-stimulated calcium uptake were isolated from the microsomal fraction of the smooth muscle of the pig stomach according to a previously described procedure which consists in increasing the density of the vesicles by loading them with calcium phosphate and isolating them by centrifugation [Raeymaekers, L., Agostini, B., and Hasselbach, W. (1981) Histochemistry, 70, 139--150]. These vesicles, which contain calcium phosphate deposits, are able to accumulate an additional amount of calcium. This calcium uptake is accompanied by calcium-stimulated ATPase activity and by the formation of an acid-stable phosphoprotein. The acid-denatured phosphoprotein is dephosphorylated by hydroxylamine, which indicates that an acylphosphate is formed. This phosphoprotein probably represents a phosphorylated transport intermediate similar to that seen with the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle. As with the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, this vesicular fraction catalyses an exchange between inorganic phosphate and the gamma-phosphate of ATP (ATP-Pi exchange) which is dependent on the presence of intravesicular calcium, and an exchange of phosphate between ATP and ADP (ATP-ADP exchange). The results further indicate that the turnover rate of the calcium pump, calculated from the ratio of calcium-stimulated ATPase activity to the steady-state level of phosphoprotein, is similar to that of Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle.  相似文献

Incubation of the Ca2+,Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase of Escherichia coli with phospholipid vesicles resulted in binding of the enzyme to the lipid. Binding was observed with vesicles of soybean phospholipid (asolectin), phosphatidyglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, and cardiolpin. Binding was not affected by alterations in pH in the range of pH 6.5 to 8.5, by ionic strength, or by the presence of Mg2+. Loss of the delta subunit from the enzyme had no effect on binding. However, removal of the delta and epsilon subunits by treatment of the enzyme with trypsin prevented binding to phospholipid. This treatment also removed a small portion (less than 2000 daltons) of the alpha subunit. It is concluded that the ATPase of E. coli binds to phospholipid vesicles mainly by nonpolar interactions through the alpha and (or) epilson subunits of the enzyme.  相似文献

Plasma membrane (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase purified from bovine aortic microsomes by calmodulin affinity chromatography was incorporated into soybean phospholipid liposomes. In the reconstituted proteoliposomes, a protein corresponding to the ATPase was phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Both the affinity for Ca2+ and the maximum Ca2+ uptake activity by the proteoliposomes were increased by the cGMP-dependent phosphorylation, and there was good parallelism between the Ca2+-uptake rate and the extent of phosphorylation. These results strongly suggest that the Ca2+-transport ATPase of the vascular smooth muscle plasma membrane is regulated through its cGMP-dependent phosphorylation.  相似文献

The effect of increasing concentrations of the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 on catalytic activity, stability, phospholipid content, and aggregational state of solubilized Ca2+ ion activated adenosinetriphosphatase (Ca2+-ATPase) of sarcoplasmic reticulum has been investigated. Increasing concentrations of Triton X-100 in the range 0.2-0.6% (w/v) inhibited ATP hydrolysis and p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis in parallel to the extent of 50% and 95%, respectively. Inactivation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis by preincubation in excess ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) at 25 degrees C was monophasic and first order at all concentrations of Triton X-100. The rate constant for inactivation increased sharply in the range 0.1-0.6% Triton X-100. At higher concentrations, the increase was less marked. Protein-protein associations of the solubilized ATPase were assessed by glutaraldehyde cross-linking and by ultracentrifugation in sucrose gradients. Both methods indicated a decrease in these associations in the 0.1-0.5% range. Cross-linking studies established that above 0.5% Triton X-100 the enzyme is greater than 90% monomeric. The amount of phospholipid associated with the ATPase, recovered from sucrose gradients, decreased from about 50 mol of phospholipid/mol of ATPase at 0.1% Triton X-100 to about 3 mol of phospholipid/mol of ATPase at 0.5% and higher concentrations. Monomeric ATPase and aggregated ATPase isolated from equilibrium mixtures of these components had similar phospholipid/protein ratios. The results indicated that with increasing Triton X-100 concentrations, inhibition of catalysis, destabilization, loss of protein-protein associations, and loss of phospholipid occur concurrently.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The Ca2+-transport system of human erythrocyte membranes was solubilized by deoxycholate in the presence of the nonionic detergent Tween 20 and was purified by calmodulin affinity chromatography. The method yields a functional enzyme, which as compared with the erythrocyte membrane was purified 207-fold based on specific activity, and about 330-fold based on protein content. The activity of the isolated enzyme can be increased about 9-fold by the addition of calmodulin, resulting in a specific activity of 10.1 mumoles/mg . min at 37 degrees C. Triton X-100 and deoxycholate stimulate the calmodulin-deficient Ca2+-ATPase in a concentration dependent manner, which results in a loss of the calmodulin-sensitivity. The Ca2+-transport ATPase could be reconstituted after solubilization of the ATPase by deoxycholate and controlled dialysis near room temperature. The system was reconstituted to form membraneous vesicles capable of energized Ca2+ accumulation. The membrane vesicles showed a protein to lipid ratio (approx. 60% protein and 40% lipid) similar to that of the original erythrocyte membrane. The stimulation by calmodulin of the calmodulin-depleted membrane-bound and partially purified Ca2+-ATPase is strongly time dependent. At a Ca2+-concentration of 40 microM and low calmodulin concentrations, approx. 120 min are required to regain full activity. This time period is decreased to about 15 min in the presence of a high excess of calmodulin. Vice versa, at fixed concentrations of calmodulin, the time necessary for regain of full activity is decreased as the Ca2+ concentrations is increased. The dependence of the Ca2+-ATPase activity on the calmodulin concentration shows strong deviation from Michaelis-Menten kinetics at Ca2+ concentrations below (4--10 microM) and above (200 microM) the optimum concentration of 40 microM. Mathematical analysis of the results at 200 microM Ca2+ leads to the assumption that 4 calmodulin molecules interact with one oligomer of Ca2+-ATPase consisting of 4 identical subunits.  相似文献

Rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes, purified from isolated rat pancreatic acini stimulated by carbachol, had a decreased Ca2+ content and increased (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity. Ca2+ was regained and ATPase activity reduced to control levels only after blockade by atropine. The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was activated by free Ca2+ (half-maximal at 0.17 microM; maximal at 0.7 microM) over the concentration range which occurs in the cell cytoplasm. Pretreatment with EGTA, at a high concentration (5 mM), inhibited ATPase activity which, our results suggest, was due to removal of a bound activator such as calmodulin. The rate of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase actively declined during the 10-min period over which maximal active accumulation of Ca2+ by membrane vesicles occurs. In the presence of ionophore A23187, which released actively accumulated Ca2+ and stimulated the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, this time-dependent decline in activity was not observed. Our data provide evidence that the activity of the Ca2+-transporting ATPase of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is regulated by both extra and intravesicular Ca2+ and is consistent with a direct role of this enzyme in the release and uptake of Ca2+ during cholinergic stimulation of pancreatic acinar cells.  相似文献
