K+-stimulated 45Ca2+ influx was measured in rat brain presynaptic nerve terminals that were predepolarized in a K+-rich solution for 15 s prior to addition of 45Ca2+. This 'slow' Ca2+ influx was compared to influx stimulated by Na+ removal, presumably mediated by Na+-Ca2+ exchange. The K+-stimulated Ca2+ influx in predepolarized synaptosomes, and the Na+-removal-dependent Ca2+ influx were both saturating functions of the external Ca2+ concentration; and both were half-saturated at 0.3 mM Ca2+. Both were reduced about 50% by 20 microM Hg2+, 20 microM Cu2+ or 0.45 mM Mn2+. Neither the K+-stimulated nor the Na+-removal-dependent Ca2+ influx was inhibited by 1 microM Cd2+, La3+ or Pb2+, treatments that almost completely inhibited K+-stimulated Ca2+ influx in synaptosomes that were not predepolarized. The relative permeabilities of K+-stimulated Ca2+, Sr2+ or Ba2+ influx in predepolarized synaptosomes (10:3:1) and the corresponding selectivity ratio for Na+-removal-dependent divalent cation uptake (10:2:1) were similar. These results strongly suggest that the K+-stimulated 'slow' Ca2+ influx in predepolarized synaptosomes and the Na+-removal-dependent Ca2+ influx are mediated by a common mechanism, the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. 相似文献

To assess the possibility of stimulating Ca2+-activated K+ channels, marine fish erythrocytes were incubated at 20-22 degrees C in saline containing a Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor (orthovanadate), a Ca2+ ionophore (A23187), propranolol or Pb2+. Incubation of the cells for up to 2 h under control conditions or in the presence of 5 mM NH4VO3 and 1 mM Ca2+ did not affect the intracellular K+ and Na+ concentrations. About 50% cellular K+ was lost from erythrocytes incubated in the presence of 0.01 mM A23187, 1 mM EGTA and 0.4-1.0 mM Ca2+. There was a significant loss of cellular K+ after the addition of 0.05-0.2 mM propranolol to the incubation medium. The stimulatory effect of propranolol on the K+ efflux was independent of external Ca2+. Blockers of Ca2+ transport, verapamil and Co2+, caused only a small decrease in the K+ loss induced by propranolol. The treatment of erythrocytes with 1-2 microM Pb2+ led to a minor K+ loss, but at a Pb2+ concentration of 20-50 microM, about 70% cellular K+ was lost. The K+ efflux induced by propranolol or Pb2+ was completely blocked by 1 mM quinine. The induced K+ loss from the erythrocytes was accompanied by a slight increase in the intracellular Na+ concentration. These data indicate the possibility of inducing Ca2+- and Pb2+-activated potassium channels in erythrocytes of S. porcus. A distinctive feature of the cells is a high sensitivity to propranolol, which activates K+ channels in the absence of external Ca2+. 相似文献

The presence and significance of Na+-induced Ca2+ release from rat liver mitochondria was investigated by the arsenazo technique. Under the experimental conditions used, the mitochondria, as expected, avidly extracted Ca2+ from the medium. However, when the uptake pathway was blocked with ruthenium red, only a small rate of 'basal' release of Ca2+ was seen (0.3 nmol Ca2+ X min-1 X mg-1), in marked contrast to earlier reports on a rapid loss of sequestered Ca2+ from rat liver mitochondria. The addition of Na+ in 'cytosolic' levels (20 mM) led to an increase in the release rate by about 1 nmol Ca2+ X min-1 X mg-1. This effect was specific for Na+. The significance of this Na+-induced Ca2+ release, in relation to the Ca2+ uptake mechanism, was investigated (in the absence of uptake inhibitors) by following the change in the extramitochondrial Ca2+ steady-state level (set point) induced by Na+. A five-fold increase in this level, from less than 0.2 microM to more than 1 microM, was induced by less than 20 mM Na+. The presence of K+ increased the sensitivity of the Ca2+ homeostat to Na+. The effect of Na+ on the extramitochondrial level was equally well observed in an K+/organic-anion buffer as in a sucrose buffer. Liver mitochondria incubated under these circumstances actively counteracted a Ca2+ or EGTA challenge by taking up or releasing Ca2+, so that the initial level, as well as the Na+-controlled level, was regained. It was concluded that liver mitochondria should be considered Na+-sensitive, that the capacity of the Na+-induced efflux pathway was of sufficient magnitude to enable it to influence the extramitochondrial Ca2+ level biochemically and probably also physiologically, and that the mitochondria have the potential to act as active, Na+-dependent regulators of extramitochondrial ('cytosolic') Ca2+. It is suggested that changes of cytosolic Na+ could be a mediator between certain hormonal signals (notably alpha 1-adrenergic) and changes in this extramitochondrial ('cytosolic') Ca2+ steady state level. 相似文献

Two mechanisms of passive Ca2+ transport, Na+-Ca2+ exchange and Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange, were studied using highly-purified dog heart sarcolemmal vesicles. About 80% of the Ca2+ accumulated by Na+-Ca2+ exchange or Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange could be released as free Ca2+, while up to 20% was probably bound. Na+-Ca2+ exchange was simultaneous, coupled countertransport of Na+ and Ca2+. The movement of anions during Na+-Ca2+ exchange did not limit the initial rate of Na+-Ca2+ exchange. Na+-Ca2+ exchange was electrogenic, with a reversal potential of about -105 mV. The apparent flux ratio of Na+-Ca2+ exchange was 4 Na+:1 Ca2+. Coupled cation countertransport by the Na+-Ca2+ exchange mechanism required a monovalent cation gradient with the following sequence of ion activation: Na+ much greater than Li+ greater than Cs+ greater than K+ greater than Rb+. In contrast to Na+-Ca2+ exchange, Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange did not require a monovalent cation gradient, but required the presence of Ca2+ plus a monovalent cation on both sides of the vesicle membrane. The sequence of ion activation of Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange was: K+ much greater than Rb+ greater than Na+ greater than Li+ greater than Cs+. Na+ inhibited Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange when Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange was supported by another monovalent cation. Both Na+-Ca2+ exchange and Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange were inhibited, but with different sensitivities, by external MgCl2, quinidine, or verapamil. 相似文献

Calcium can ameliorate Na+ toxicity in plants by decreasing Na+ influx through nonselective cation channels. Here, we show that elevated external [Ca2+] also inhibits Na+ -induced K+ efflux through outwardly directed, K+ -permeable channels. Noninvasive ion flux measuring and patch-clamp techniques were used to characterize K+ fluxes from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) root mature epidermis and leaf mesophyll under various Ca2+ to Na+ ratios. NaCl-induced K+ efflux was not related to the osmotic component of the salt stress, was inhibited by the K+ channel blocker TEA+, was not mediated by inwardly directed K+ channels (tested in the akt1 mutant), and resulted in a significant decrease in cytosolic K+ content. NaCl-induced K+ efflux was partially inhibited by 1 mm Ca2+ and fully prevented by 10 mm Ca2+. This ameliorative effect was at least partially attributed to a less dramatic NaCl-induced membrane depolarization under high Ca2+ conditions. Patch-clamp experiments (whole-cell mode) have demonstrated that two populations of Ca2+ -sensitive K+ efflux channels exist in protoplasts isolated from the mature epidermis of Arabidopsis root and leaf mesophyll cells. The instantaneously activating K+ efflux channels showed weak voltage dependence and insensitivity to external and internal Na+. Another population of K+ efflux channels was slowly activating, steeply rectifying, and highly sensitive to Na+. K+ efflux channels in roots and leaves showed different Ca2+ and Na+ sensitivities, suggesting that these organs may employ different strategies to withstand salinity. Our results suggest an additional mechanism of Ca2+ action on salt toxicity in plants: the amelioration of K+ loss from the cell by regulating (both directly and indirectly) K+ efflux channels. 相似文献

The sensitivity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in human red cell membranes to inhibition by Ca2+ is markedly increased by the addition of diluted cytoplasm from hemolyzed human red blood cells. The concentration of Ca2+ causing 50% inhibition of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is shifted from greater than 50 microM free Ca2+ in the absence of hemolysate to less than 10 microM free Ca2+ when hemolysate diluted 1:60 compared to in vivo concentrations is added to the assay mixture. Boiling the hemolysate destroys its ability to increase the sensitivity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to Ca2+. Proteins extracted from the membrane in the presence of EDTA and concentrated on an Amicon PM 30 membrane increased the sensitivity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to Ca2+ in a dose-dependent fashion, causing over 80% inhibition of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase at 10 microM free Ca2+ at the highest concentration of the extract tested. The active factor in this membrane extract is Ca2+-dependent, because it had no effect on the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in the absence of Ca2+. Trypsin digestion prior to the assay destroyed the ability of this protein extract to increase the sensitivity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to Ca2+. 相似文献

The effect of K+ and Na+ on the Ca2+ binding site in the dense core of monoaminergic vesicles of pineal nerves was investigated in the rat. Rat pineal glands, bisected immediately after decapitation, were incubated at room temperature in solutions containing high K+ or high Na+ in the presence or absence of Ca2+. Fixation was performed in glutaraldehyde-osmium tetroxide in collidine buffer, with and without CaCl2. It was confirmed that, after fixation in Ca2+-containing solutions, an electron-dense particle, located in the vesicle core, which can be considered a calcium deposit, appears within the synaptic vesicles. It was observed that this Ca2+ deposit may be modified by incubation in a high K+ or high Na+ milieu before fixation in Ca2+ containing solutions. When the incubation was carried out with high K+ and high Ca2+ simultaneously, Ca2+ deposits were considerably increased. With K+ alone, no Ca2+ deposits were apparent, as when electrical stimulation is applied before fixation. This effect was not observed when the incubation was done in high Na+. Consecutive incubations in high K+ and high Na+, respectively, restored the capability of the vesicle cores to bind Ca2+. Prolonged incubation in high Na+ before fixation increased Ca2+ deposits within the vesicles. These findings are in line with data on the effect of these ions upon the storage and release of biogenic amines and suggest that these ions modify the capability of synaptic vesicles to bind Ca2+. 相似文献

The sodium-calcium exchanger of bovine rod photoreceptors: K(+)-dependence of the purified and reconstituted protein 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The K(+)-dependence of the rod photoreceptor sodium-calcium exchanger was investigated using the Ca2(+)-sensitive dye arsenazo III after reconstitution of the purified protein into proteoliposomes. The uptake of Ca2+ by Na(+)-loaded liposomes was found to be greatly enhanced by the presence of external K+ (EC50 approximately 1 mM) in a Michaelis-Menten manner, suggesting that one K+ ion is involved in the transport of one Ca2+ ion. We also found a minimal degree of Ca2+ uptake in the total absence of K+. Other alkali cations, notably Rb+ and, to a lesser extent, Cs+, were also able to stimulate Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange. We also investigated the K(+)-dependence of the photoreceptor Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger by determining the effects of electrochemical K+ gradients on the Na(+)-activated Ca2+ efflux from proteoliposomes. We found that, under conditions of membrane voltage clamp with FCCP, inwardly directed electrochemical K+ gradients (i.e., K0+ greater than Ki+) inhibited, whereas an outwardly directed electrochemical K+ gradient (i.e., Ki+ greater than K0+) enhanced, Na(+)-dependent Ca2+ efflux, consistent with the notion that K+ is cotransported in the same direction as Ca2+. The investigation of the reconstituted exchanger at physiological (i.e. Ki+ = 110 mM, K0+ = 2.5 mM) potassium concentrations revealed that the Na(+)-dependence of Ca2(+)-efflux was highly cooperative (n = 3.01 from Hill plots), indicating that at least three, but possibly four, Na+ ions are exchanged for one Ca2+ ion. Under these conditions the reconstituted exchanger showed a Km for Na+ of 26.1 mM, and a turnover number of 115 Ca2+.s-1 per exchanger molecule. Our results with the purified and reconstituted sodium-calcium exchanger from rod photoreceptors are therefore consistent with previous reports (Cervetto, L., Lagnado, L., Perry, R.J., Robinson, D.W. and McNaughton, P.A. (1989) Nature 337, 740-743; Schnetkamp, P.P.M., Basu, D.K. and Szerencsei, R.T. (1989) Am. J. Physiol. 257, C153-C157) that the sodium-calcium exchanger of rod photoreceptors cotransports K+ under physiological conditions with a stoichiometry of 4 Na+:1 Ca2+, 1K+. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) is essential for the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels. The role of plasma membrane Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX) activity in the regulation of vascular Ca2+ homeostasis was previously ascribed to the NCX1 protein. However, recent studies suggest that a relatively newly discovered K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, NCKX (gene family SLC24), is also present in vascular smooth muscle. The purpose of the present study was to identify the expression and function of NCKX in arteries. mRNA encoding NCKX3 and NCKX4 was demonstrated by RT-PCR and Northern blot in both rat mesenteric and aortic smooth muscle. NCXK3 and NCKX4 proteins were also demonstrated by immunoblot and immunofluorescence. After voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, store-operated Ca2+ channels, and Na+ pump were pharmacologically blocked, when the extracellular Na+ was replaced with Li+ (0 Na+) to induce reverse mode (Ca2+ entry) activity of Na+/Ca2+ exchangers, a large increase in [Ca2+]cyt signal was observed in primary cultured aortic smooth muscle cells. About one-half of this [Ca2+]cyt signal depended on the extracellular K+. In addition, after the activity of NCX was inhibited by KB-R7943, Na+ replacement-induced Ca2+ entry was absolutely dependent on extracellular K+. In arterial rings denuded of endothelium, a significant fraction of the phenylephrine-induced and nifedipine-resistant aortic or mesenteric contraction could be prevented by removal of extracellular K+. Taken together, these data provide strong evidence for the expression of NCKX proteins in the vascular smooth muscle and their novel role in mediating agonist-stimulated [Ca2+]cyt and thereby vascular tone. 相似文献

Decreased intracellular Na+ concentration is an early event in murine erythroleukemic cell differentiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A decrease in Na+/K+-pump activity is an early event of Friend murine erythroleukemic (MEL) cell differentiation along the erythroid pathway. This decreased Na+/K+-pump activity has been proposed to be an essential step in differentiation which would cause a rise in intracellular Na+ concentration and then, by means of Na+/Ca2+ exchange, an increase in intracellular Ca2+. An increase in intracellular Ca2+ has been proposed to be essential for induction of differentiation. A critical prediction of this Na+-Ca2+ hypothesis is the rise in intracellular Na+. To test this prediction we have measured intracellular Na+ using a novel triple isotope method involving 3H2O, [14C]sucrose, and 22Na to measure total water, extracellular fluid, and Na+, respectively. 22Na equilibration occurred in less than 10 min. In uninduced cells, intracellular Na+ was 15.2 +/- 2.2 mM (S.D., n = 22); after induction for 14-16 h with dimethyl sulfoxide, intracellular Na+ decreased significantly (p less than 0.0001) to 8.4 +/- 1.4 mM (n = 21). The time course of the decline in intracellular Na+ paralleled that of the decrease in the Na+/K+-pump activity. These results are in direct contradiction to the Na+-Ca2+ hypothesis and suggest that observed changes in Na+/K+-pump activity can be explained solely on the basis of changes in intracellular Na+. The drop in intracellular Na+ is due to a decrease in Na+ influx. We suggest, however, that the decrease in the Na+ influx is not itself an essential event of differentiation, but may be induced by a change in the flux of another ion coupled to Na+. 相似文献

The retinal Na+:Ca2+, K+exchanger cDNA was transiently expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells by transfection with plasmid DNA. The correct targeting of the expressed protein to the plasma membrane was confirmed by immunocytochemistry. The reverse exchange offrent (Ca2+ imported per Na+ extruded) was measured in whole-cell voltage-clamp experiments after intracellular perfusion with Na+ (Na+i, 128 mM) and extracellular perfusion with Ca2+ (Ca2o+, 1 mM) and Ko+ (20 mM). As expected, the exchange current was suppressed by removing Ca2o+. Surprisingly, however, it was also abolished by increasing Na+o to almost abolish the Na+ gradient, and it was almost unaffected by the removal of Ko+. Apparently, then, at variance with the exchanger in the rod outer segment, the retinal exchanger expressed in 293 cells acts essentially as a Na+:Ca2+ exchanger and does not require K+ for its electrogenic activity. 相似文献

Evidence for the existence of regulatory sites for Ca2+ on the Na+/Ca2+ carrier of cardiac mitochondria. 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1

The Na+-induced efflux of Ca2+ catalysed by the Na+/Ca2+ carrier of cardiac mitochondria is strongly inhibited by extramitochondrial Ca2+. The nature of this inhibition was investigated as follows. (a) The apparent association of external Na+ and the Ca2+ analogue Sr2+ with substrate-binding sites (i.e. those sites involved in cation translocation) is promoted markedly by K+. The inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange by external Ca2+ is affected little by K+. (b) There is a competitive relationship between the binding of external Na+ and external Ca2+ to substrate-binding sites, whereas at low concentrations (less than 4 microM) extramitochondrial Ca2+ is a partial non-competitive inhibitor with respect to external Na+. (c) This inhibiton by external Ca2+ is characterized by a maximal decrease of about 70% in the Vmax of Na+/Ca2+ exchange and by cooperative binding of external Ca2+ to sites that are half saturated by 0.7-0.8 microM free Ca2+. The binding of Ca2+ and Sr2+ to substrate-binding sites shows no co-operativity. These criteria suggest that the Na+/Ca2+ carrier may contain regulatory sites that render the carrier sensitive to changes in extramitochondrial [Ca2+] within the physiological range. 相似文献

The effects of Li+ on Na-Ca exchange in bovine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles were examined. The initial rate of Na(+)-dependent Ca2+ uptake and efflux was inhibited by Li+ in a dose dependent manner. The initial rate of Na(+)-dependent Ca2+ uptake was inhibited 49.8 +/- 2.9% (S.E.) (n = 6) in the presence of Li+ compared to activity in external K+ or choline+. Kinetic analysis indicated that Li+ increased the Km for Ca2+ (96.3 microM) compared to K+ and choline+ (25.5 and 22.9 microM respectively) while Vmax (1.4, 1.2 and 1.1 nmol Ca2+/mg protein/sec respectively) remained unchanged. Li+ did not alter the experimentally derived stoichiometry of the exchange reaction of 3 Na+ for 1 Ca2+. 相似文献

Evidence for a sodium/calcium exchanger and voltage-dependent calcium channels in adipocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The objective of these studies is to identify and characterize Ca2+-transport systems that may be of potential importance in the action of Ca2+-mobilizing hormones in the adipocyte. Using the Ca2+-sensitive photoprotein, aequorin, [Ca2+]i was estimated to be 0.15 microM, assuming an intracellular [Mg2+] of 1 mM. Substitution of Na+ with choline+ caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i which was inversely related to extracellular [Na+], consistent with operation of a mediated Na+-Ca2+ exchange system. The stoichiometry was 3Na+:Ca2+. Elevation of extracellular K+ caused an increase in [Ca2+]i that was blocked by the Ca2+ channel antagonist, diltiazem, by omitting extracellular Ca2+, or by substituting Sr2+ for Ca2+. These findings indicate the presence of an Na+-Ca2+ exchanger and voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels in adipocytes. 相似文献

The effects of K+ and Na+ on the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments (SRF) were investigated at 1 mM ATP. There was an alteration of the sensitivity of the ATPase to the monovalent cations during storage of the SRF preparation. The Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase of freshly prepared SRF was slightly activated by 5-10 mM K+ and Na+. Mg2+-ATPase was inhibited by both the monovalent cations to the same extent, and this response to the ions was independent of the freshness of the preparations. After storage of SRF, however, the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase was markedly activated by higher concentrations of K+ and Na+ (0.2-0.3 M). K+ and Na+ reduced the Ca uptake at the steady state in freshly prepared SRF, but did not affect pre-steady state uptake. In the presence of oxalate, the rate of Ca accumulation both in fresh and stored preparations was activated by 0.1-0.2 M K+ and Na+. The Ca2+, mg2+-ATPase with oxalate, so-called "extra ATPase," showed the same response to the ions as did the activity without oxalate during storage. 相似文献

1. Na+ as well as Li+ move across the apical membrane through amiloride-sensitive ionic channels. 2. K+ movements across the apical membrane occur through Ba2+- and Cs+-sensitive channels which do not allow the passage of Na+ or Li+. 3. A third pathway in the apical membrane is permeable for Na+, K+, Cs+, Rb+, NH+4 and Ti+. The currents carried by these monovalent cations are blocked by Ca2+ and divalent cations as well as La3+. 4. In the urinary bladder, the Ca2+-sensitive currents are stimulated by oxytocin, activators of cytosolic cAMP and cAMP analogues. Also the oxytocin activated currents are blocked by divalent cations and La3+. 5. Nanomolar concentrations of mucosal Ag+ activate the third channel and open the pathway for movements of Ca2+, Ba2+ and Mg2+, which are known to permeate through Ca2+ channels in excitable tissues. 相似文献

In experiments performed at 37 degrees C, Ca2+ reversibly inhibits the Na+-and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activities and the K+-dependent phosphatase activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. With 3 mM ATP, the Na+-ATPase was less sensitive to CaCl2 than the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. With 0.02 mM ATP, the Na+-ATPase and the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activities were similarly inhibited by CaCl2. The K0.5 for Ca2+ as (Na+ + K+)-ATPase inhibitor depended on the total MgCl2 and ATP concentrations. This Ca2+ inhibition could be a consequence of Ca2+-Mg2+ competition, Ca . ATP-Mg . ATP competition or a combination of both mechanisms. In the presence of Na+ and Mg2+, Ca2+ inhibited the K+-dependent dephosphorylation of the phosphoenzyme formed from ATP, had no effect on the dephosphorylation in the absence of K+ and inhibited the rephosphorylation of the enzyme. In addition, the steady-state levels of phosphoenzyme were reduced in the presence both of NaCl and of NaCl plus KCl. With 3 mM ATP, Ca2+ alone sustained no more than 2% of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity and about 23% of the Na+-ATPase activity observed with Mg2+ and no Ca2+. With 0.003 mM ATP, Ca2+ was able to maintain about 40% of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity and 27% of the Na+-ATPase activity seen in the presence of Mg2+ alone. However, the E2(K)-E1K conformational change did not seem to be affected. Ca2+ inhibition of the K+-dependent rho-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase followed competition kinetics between Ca2+ and Mg2+. In the presence of 10 mM NaCl and 0.75 mM KCl, the fractional inhibition of the K+-dependent rho-nitrophenylphosphatase activity as a function of Ca2+ concentration was the same with and without ATP, suggesting that Ca2+ indeed plays the important role in this process. In the absence of Mg2+, Ca2+ was unable to sustain any detectable ouabain-sensitive phosphatase activity, either with rho-nitrophenylphosphate or with acetyl phosphate as substrate. 相似文献

The tss1 tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) mutant exhibited reduced growth in low K+ and hypersensitivity to Na+ and Li+. Increased Ca2+ in the culture medium suppressed the Na+ hypersensitivity and the growth defect on low K+ medium of tss1 seedlings. Interestingly, removing NH4+ from the growth medium suppressed all growth defects of tss1, suggesting a defective NH4(+)-insensitive component of K+ transport. We performed electrophysiological studies to understand the contribution of the NH4(+)-sensitive and -insensitive components of K+ transport in wild-type and tss1 roots. Although at 1 mm Ca2+ we found no differences in affinity for K+ uptake between wild type and tss1 in the absence of NH4+, the maximum depolarization value was about one-half in tss1, suggesting that a set of K+ transporters is inactive in the mutant. However, these transporters became active by raising the external Ca2+ concentration. In the presence of NH4+, a reduced affinity for K+ was observed in both types of seedlings, but tss1 at 1 mm Ca2+ exhibited a 2-fold higher Km than wild type did. This defect was again corrected by raising the external concentration of Ca2+. Therefore, membrane potential measurements in root cells indicated that tss1 is affected in both NH4(+)-sensitive and -insensitive components of K+ transport at low Ca2+ concentrations and that this defective transport is rescued by increasing the concentration of Ca2+. Our results suggest that the TSS1 gene product is part of a crucial pathway mediating the beneficial effects of Ca2+ involved in K+ nutrition and salt tolerance. 相似文献

1. Na/K ATPase activity in rat myometrial cells in culture exhibited a Kapp of 0.93 mM for Rb+ and a Ki of 31 microM for ouabain with respect to Rb+. 2. 86Rb+ uptake was stimulated by serum and monensin but was not affected by the uterine relaxants isoproterenol and relaxin in 0.5-7.5 mM Rb+. Nonetheless, these relaxants elicited significant increases in 45Ca2+ efflux under similar conditions. 3. These data suggest that increased Na/Ca exchange resulting from a stimulation of Na/K ATPase is not involved in the mechanism of action of relaxin and isoproterenol in the uterus. 相似文献

The modulation of rat brain Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange by K+ 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The involvement of potassium ions in the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange process was studied in rat brain synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) vesicles. Addition of equimolar [K+] to the intravesicular and the extravesicular medium led to a stimulation of the Na+ gradient-dependent Ca2+ influx; this stimulation was noticeable already at 0.5 mM and reached its maximum at 2 mM K+. The magnitude of the K+ stimulation was between 1.3-2.5-fold in different SPM preparations. K+ ions also stimulated the Na(+)-dependent Ca2+ efflux. K+ stimulation of Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange is of considerable specificity, since it is not mimicked by either Li+ or H+. The following lines of evidence suggest that K+ modulation of Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange involves the catalytic moiety of the transporter itself and not an unrelated K+ channel which modulates the membrane potential. 1) K+ stimulation of the transport process was conserved following reconstitution of the transporter into phospholipid-rich liposomes, an experimental condition which presumably separates the native membrane proteins among different vesicular structures. 2) K+ stimulation of Na+ gradient-dependent Ca2+ influx persists also when the build up of negative inside membrane potential is prevented by addition of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxy phenylhydrazone which renders the membrane highly permeable to protons both in the native and the reconstituted preparation. 3) K+ stimulation of Na+ gradient-dependent Ca2+ influx is obtained also when tetraethylammonium chloride, 2,3-diaminopyridine and Cs+ are added to the Ca2+ uptake medium. Reconstituted SPM vesicles take up 86Rb+ in response to activation of Na+ gradient-dependent Ca2+ influx. The ratio of Ca2+ taken up by SPM vesicles in a Na+ gradient-dependent manner to the corresponding amounts of Rb+ taken up varies between 8-5 in different SPM preparations. If the stoichiometry of the process is 1 Rb+/1 Ca2+, then Rb+ cotransport is mediated by 10-20% of the transporters present in the preparation. 相似文献
