Ca2+参与水霉菌丝细胞壁修饰的证据

以细胞壁崩溃酶-Driselflse短时间处理水霉(Saprozegma ferax)菌丝,pH5．0时可使原生质从菌丝亚顶端喷出,pH6．0～8．0时则不导致该现象发生;适当浓度EGTA的存在,可提高pH5．0时酶解引起的原生质喷出频率、使pH6．0～8．0时生长菌丝的顶端原生质也喷出、并且喷出多发生在菌丝最顶端;外加CaCl₂．不抑制菌丝顶端原生质的喷出,排除了Ca²⁺抑制酶活性的可能。随后的跟踪观察显示,长时间以缺Ca²⁺培养介质培养菌丝,同样能够导致菌丝顶端原生质喷出。上述研究结果表明,培养介质中Ca²⁺和H⁺对菌丝完整性的维持起调节作用,细胞壁上的Ca²⁺可能参与了水霉菌丝细胞壁物理特性的修饰。     

胞外Ca2+促进粟酒裂殖酵母细胞增殖作用的研究

研究了胞外Ca²⁺对粟酒裂殖酵母Schizosaccharomyces pombe)细胞增殖的影响。实验结果首次证明胞外Ca²⁺能明显促进粟酒裂殖酵母的增殖,其作用方式主要是缩短了粟酒裂殖酵母的生长延滞期。当起始的接种细胞密度升高至使粟酒裂殖酵母的生长延滞期消失时,外加Ca²⁺的作用也消失。EGTA可抑制粟酒裂殖酵母的细胞增殖,而外加Ca²⁺能够有效消除EGTA的抑制作用,进一步说明胞外Ca²⁺是粟酒裂殖酵母增殖所必需的。此外,外加EGTA除了可延长细胞增殖的延滞期外,还能显著降低指数期细胞分裂的速率以及达到稳定期时培养液中的细胞总数,提示缺Ca²⁺还影响粟酒裂殖酵母细胞的分裂。

大鼠海马CA1区锥体细胞上一种Ca2+依赖性KATP通道

K_ATP通道在细胞的新陈代谢与膜兴奋性的耦联中起重要作用.采用膜片钳的内面向外式记录方法,在成年大鼠海马CA1区锥体细胞上记录到一种被胞浆侧ATP和甲糖宁（tolbutamide,一种K_ATP通道阻断剂）抑制的Ca²⁺依赖性钾离子通道.在细胞膜内外的K⁺浓度均为140 mmol/L时,通道的电导为(204±21) pS,翻转电位为(3.57±1.13) mV,通道无整流性.通道开放概率及ATP对通道的抑制作用均呈现电压依赖性.该K_ATP通道与以往报道的“经典”K_ATP通道有显著不同,其活动受膜电位、胞内Ca²⁺和ATP三重调节,表明这是一种新型的K_ATP通道.上述结果表明在海马神经元上至少有两种性质不同的K_ATP通道,提示神经元可能通过不同性质的K_ATP通道感受细胞内的代谢状态,进而调节细胞膜的兴奋性.     

豚鼠精子质膜Ca2+ -ATPase活性与精子顶体反应关系的研究

用生化测定法首次证实豚鼠精子质膜Ca²⁺-ATPase活性在精子获能和顶体反应过程中显著下降.Ca²⁺-ATPase抑制剂利尿酸(ethacrynic acid)抑制质膜Ca²⁺-ATPase活性,但钙调素(50μg/mL)的拮抗剂三氟拉嗪(TFP,200～500μmol/L)对该酶活性没有影响,说明钙调素不直接参与精子依赖于ATP的Ca²⁺的主动泵出.但钙调素与精子的Ca²⁺内流有关,钙调素拮抗剂TFP显著促进精子顶体反应和精子对Ca²⁺的摄入.Ca²⁺-ATPase抑制剂栎皮酮(quercetin)、原钒酸钠(sodiumorthovandate)、利尿磺胺(furosemide)和利尿酸均显著促进豚鼠精子的顶体反应,但却抑制精子对Ca²⁺的摄入,这无法用它们对质膜Ca²⁺-ATPase活性的抑制作用解释.推测这可能是由于Ca²⁺-ATPase抑制剂在抑制质膜Ca²⁺-ATPase活性的同时也抑制了顶体外膜或线粒体外膜上的该酶的活性,导致Ca²⁺在细胞质内的积累,进而通过负反馈机制抑制Ca²⁺进一步内流所致.另外,Ca²⁺-ATPase抑制剂对糖酵解的抑制作用也可能是Ca²⁺在细胞质中积累和抑制精子Ca²⁺摄入的原因.     

GM3掺入肌质网膜及其对Ca2+-ATP酶的正向调节

用微量提取和高效薄板层析方法研究了外源性神经节苷脂GM3掺入兔肌质网膜的动力学过程.将掺入量分别相对于掺入浓度、时间和温度作图,显示掺入曲线均呈抛物线形式.当掺入体系中GM3浓度为8 μmol／L、掺入时间为90 min、掺入温度为35℃时,其掺入量达到最大值,约为掺入体系中GM3量的50%.上述结果表明外源性GM3对肌质网膜的作用不仅仅是一种简单的水相反应,而是一个依赖于掺入浓度、时间和温度,并具有一定的饱和度的掺入到肌质网膜脂双层中的动力学过程.进一步的实验表明外源性GM3的掺入能明显增加肌质网Ca^2＋-ATP酶的活力.这为从分子水平上研究糖脂对细胞内膜系统的结构与功能的调节作用提供了重要的基础.

Role of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase on Heat Production and Thermogenesis

The sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle retains a membrane bound Ca²⁺-ATPase which is able to interconvert different forms of energy. A part of the chemical energy released during ATP hydrolysis is converted into heat and in the bibliography it is assumed that the amount of heat produced during the hydrolysis of an ATP molecule is always the same, as if the energy released during ATP cleavage were divided in two non-interchangeable parts: one would be converted into heat, and the other used for Ca²⁺ transport. Data obtained in our laboratory during the past three years indicate that the amount of heat released during the hydrolysis of ATP may vary between 7 and 32 kcal/mol depending on whether or not a transmembrane Ca²⁺ gradient is formed across the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Drugs such as heparin and dimethyl sulfoxide are able to modify the fraction of the chemical energy released during ATP hydrolysis which is used for Ca²⁺ transport and the fraction which is dissipated in the surrounding medium as heat.

Functional Approach to the Catalytic Site of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase: Binding and Hydrolysis of ATP in the Absence of Ca2+

Isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles in the presence of Mg(2+) and absence of Ca(2+) retain significant ATP hydrolytic activity that can be attributed to the Ca(2+)-ATPase protein. At neutral pH and the presence of 5 mM Mg(2+), the dependence of the hydrolysis rate on a linear ATP concentration scale can be fitted by a single hyperbolic function. MgATP hydrolysis is inhibited by either free Mg(2+) or free ATP. The rate of ATP hydrolysis is not perturbed by vanadate, whereas the rate of p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis is not altered by a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog. ATP binding affinity at neutral pH and in a Ca(2+)-free medium is increased by Mg(2+) but decreased by vanadate when Mg(2+) is present. It is suggested that MgATP hydrolysis in the absence of Ca(2+) requires some optimal adjustment of the enzyme cytoplasmic domains. The Ca(2+)-independent activity is operative at basal levels of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) or when the Ca(2+) binding transition is impeded.     

Uncoupling of Occlusion From ATP Hydrolysis Activity in Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (Ca2++Mg2+)-ATPase

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.     

Relationship between plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity and acrosome reaction in guinea pig sperm

The results obtained by biochemical measurement demonstrated for the first time that significant decrease of the plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase activity occurred during capacitation and acrosome reaction of guinea pig sperm. Ethaorynic acid, one kind of Ca²⁺-ATPase antagonists, inhibited the plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase activity, but calmodulin (50μg/mL) and trifluoperazine (200- 500μmol/L) did not, suggesting that calmodulin is not involved in ATP-driven Ca²⁺ efflux from sperm. However, calmodulin is involved in the control of Ca²⁺ influx. TFP, one kind of calmodulin antagonists, accelerated the acrosome reaction and Ca²⁺ uptake into sperm cells significantly. Ca²⁺-ATPase antagonists, quercetin, sodium orthovandate, furosemide and ethacrynic acid promoted the acrosome reaction, but inhibited Ca2+ uptake, which cannot be explained by their inhibitory effects on the plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase activity. It is speculated that this phenomenon might be caused by simultaneous inhibitions of the activities of Ca²⁺-ATPase present in the plasma membrane, the outer acrosome membrane and the outer mitochondrion membrane resulting in Ca²⁺ accumulation in the cytoplasm, which in turn blocks further Ca2+ entry through some negative feedback mechanism(s). The inhibitory effect of Ca²⁺-ATPase antagonist on glycolytic activity may also be the reason for Ca²⁺ accumulation in cytoplasm and inhibition of Ca²⁺ uptake.
