Membrane phosphorylation and nucleoside triphosphatase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle were studied using ATP and ITP as substrates. The Ca2+ concentration was varied over a range large enough to saturate either the high affinity Ca2+-binding site or both high and low affinity binding sites. In intact vesicles, which are able to accumulate Ca2+, the steady state level of enzyme phosphorylated by either ATP or ITP is already high in 0.02 mM Ca2+ and does not vary as the Ca2+ concentration is increased to 10 mM. Essentially the same pattern of membrane phosphorylation by ATP is observed when leaky vesicles, which are unable to accumulate Ca2+, are used. However, for leaky vesicles, when ITP is used as substrate, the phosphoenzyme level increases 3- to 4-fold when the Ca2+ concentration is raised from 0.02 to 20 mM. When Mg2+ is omitted from the assay medum, the degree of membrane phosphorylation by ATP varies with Ca2+ in the same way as when ITP is used in the presence of Mg2+. Membrane phosphorylation of leaky vesicles by either ATP or ITP is observed in the absence of added Mg2+. When these vesicles are incubated in media containing ITP and 0.1 mM Ca2+, addition of Mg2+ up to 10 mM simultaneously decreases the steady state level of phosphoenzyme and increases the rate of ITP hydrolysis. When ATP is used, the addition of 10 mM Mg2+ increases both the steady state level of phosphoenzyme and the rate of ATP hydrolysis. When the Ca2+ concentration is raised to 10 or 20 mM, the degree of membrane phosphorylation by either ATP or ITP is maximal even in the absence of added Mg2+ and does not vary with the addition of 10 mM Mg2+. In these conditions the ATPase and ITPase activities are activated by Mg2+, although not to the level observed in 0.1 mM Ca2+. An excess of Mg2+ inhibits both the rate of hydrolysis and membrane phosphorylation by either ATP or ITP.  相似文献

Unidirectional Ca2+ fluxes (influx and efflux), supported by ATP as a phosphate-donor substrate, were measured without alteration of the lumenal Ca2+ content in longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. The referred fluxes are dependent on extravesicular Ca2+, ATP and ADP. They are unaffected by ruthenium red but inhibited by quercetin. The Ca2+ fluxes at steady state are drastically diminished when ATP is substituted by acetylphosphate although the addition of 10 microM ADP increases the apparent rate constants more than eight fold. The observed fluxes appear to be dependent on Ca2(+)-ATPase phosphoenzyme transitions. The results indicate that: (a) the slow Ca2+ release, due to the passive permeability of the membrane, is a minor component of the total Ca2+ efflux, and (b) the ATPase protein is basically operating as a Ca2+/Ca2+ exchanger at steady state. Kinetic resolution of the Ca2+ fluxes, measured by isotopic tracer and rapid filtration techniques can be recreated by computer simulation of the ATPase reaction cycle featuring some modifications to account for the fast Ca2+/Ca2+ exchange and the uncoupling effect observed at steady state.  相似文献

The effect of Ca2+, Cd2+, Ba2+, Mg2+ and pH on the renal epithelial Na(+)-channel was investigated by measuring the amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ fluxes into luminal membrane vesicles from pars recta of rabbit proximal tubule. It was found that intravesicular Ca2+ as well as extravesicular Ca2+ substantially lowered the channel-mediated flux. Amiloride sensitive Na+ uptake was nearly completely blocked by 10 microM Ca2+ at pH 7.4. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+ was dependent on pH. Thus, 10 microM Ca2+ produced 90% inhibition of 22Na+ uptake at pH 7.4, and only 40% inhibition at pH 7.0. The tracer fluxes measured in the absence of Ca2+ were pH independent over the range from 7.0 to 7.4. All the cations Ca2+, Cd2+, Ba2+ except Mg2+ inhibited the 22Na+ influx drastically when added extravesicularly in millimolar concentrations. The cations Cd2+, Ba2+ and Mg2+ in the same concentrations intravesicularly inhibited the 22Na+ influx only slightly. A millimolar concentration of Ca2+ intravesicularly blocked the amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ flux completely. The data indicate that Ca2+ inhibits Na+ influx specifically by binding to sites composed of one or several deprotonated groups on the channel proteins.  相似文献

The interdependence of the competition between Ca2+ and hydrogen ions for the internally located low-affinity Ca2+ binding sites of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and the pH-dependent splitting rate of phosphoenzyme was investigated. Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were preincubated at a selected pH and passive Ca2+ loading, active Ca2+ uptake at the same pH as well as active Ca2+ uptake at a distinct pH (pH-jump method) were observed. In addition, Cai-Cao exchange in the absence and presence of ADP and ATP-ADP exchange were measured. The overall ATP splitting rate was assayed with leaky vesicles in the presence of varied Ca2+ concentration and four different pH. All experiments were carried out at Ca2+ concentrations sufficient to saturate the externally located activating high-affinity binding sites at all pH and in the absence of affecting concentrations of monovalent cations. Active Ca2+ transport (particularly evident applying the pH-jump method) is facilitated at low intravesicular pH, reflecting the favoured Ca2+ release to the intravesicular space, in contrast to the reverse pH-dependence of passive Ca2+ accumulation and the initial rate of Cai-Cao exchange, both favoured by elevated internal Ca2+ binding capacity. The rates of ATP splitting, the continuing slow rate of Cai-Cao exchange, and the ATP-ADP exchange are optimal at an intermediate proton concentration, reflecting the influence of protons on partial reaction steps occurring later in the reaction cycle and the accelerated exchange of Ca2+ at the internal low-affinity sites as well as the establishment of a new pseudo equilibrium between the possible reaction intermediates. The pool of rapidly exchangeable Ca2+ is enlarged whereas the rate of slow exchange is unaltered or diminished (pH 7.8) by ADP.  相似文献

Acetyl phosphate is hydrolyzed by the calcium ATPase of leaky sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle with Km = 6.5 mM and kcat = 7.9 s-1 in the presence of 100 microM calcium (180 mM K+, 5 mM MgSO4, pH 7.0, 25 degrees C). In the absence of calcium, hydrolysis is 6% of the calcium-dependent rate at low and 24% at saturating concentrations of acetyl phosphate. Values of K0.5 for calcium are 3.5 and 2.2 microM (n = 1.6) in the presence of 1 and 50 mM acetyl phosphate, respectively; inhibition by calcium follows K0.5 = 1.6 mM (n approximately 1.1) with 50 mM acetyl phosphate and K0.5 = 0.5 mM (n approximately 1.3) with 1.5 mM ATP. The calcium-dependent rate of phosphoenzyme formation from acetyl phosphate is consistent with Km = 43 mM and kf = 32 s-1 at saturation; decomposition of the phosphoenzyme occurs with kt = 16 s-1. The maximum fraction of phosphoenzyme formed in the steady state at saturating acetyl phosphate concentrations is 43-46%. These results are consistent with kc congruent to 30 s-1 for binding of Ca2+ to E at saturating [Ca2+], to give cE.Ca2, in the absence of activation by ATP. Phosphoenzyme formed from ATP and from acetyl phosphate shows the same biphasic reaction with ADP, rate constants for decomposition that are the same within experimental error, and similar or identical activation of decomposition by ATP. It is concluded that the reaction pathways for acetyl phosphate and ATP in the presence of Ca2+ are the same, with the exception of calcium binding and phosphorylation; an alternative, faster route that avoids the kc step is available in the presence of ATP. The existence of three different regions of dependence on ATP concentration for steady state turnover is confirmed; activation of hydrolysis at high ATP concentrations involves an ATP-induced increase in kt.  相似文献

In sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles or in the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum, quercetin inhibited ATP hydrolysis, Ca2+ uptake, ATP-Pi exchange, ATP synthesis coupled to Ca2+ efflux, ATP-ADP exchange, and steady state phosphorylation of the ATPase by inorganic phosphate. Steady state phosphorylation of the ATPase by ATP was not inhibited. Quercetin also inhibited ATP and ADP binding but not the binding of Ca2+. The inhibition of ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport by quercetin was reversible, and ATP, Ca2+, and dithiothreitol did not affect the inhibitory action of quercetin.  相似文献

At high concentrations of ATP, ATP hydrolysis and Ca2+ transport by the (Ca2+ + MG2+)-ATPase of intact sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles exhibit a secondary activation that varies with the extent of back-inhibition by Ca2+ accumulated within the vesicles. When the internal ionized Ca2+ is clamped at low and intermediate levels by the use of Ca-precipitating anions, the apparent Km values for activation by ATP are lower than in fully back-inhibited vesicles (high internal Ca2+). In leaky vesicles unable to accumulate Ca2+, raising Ca2+ in the assay medium from 20-30 microM to 5 mM abolishes the activation of hydrolysis by high concentrations of ATP. The level of [32P]phosphoenzyme formed during ATP hydrolysis from [32P]phosphate added to the medium also varies with the extent of back-inhibition; it is highest when Ca2+ is raised to a level that saturates the internal, low-affinity Ca2+ binding sites. In intact vesicles, increasing the ATP concentration from 10 to 400 microM competitively inhibits the reaction of inorganic phosphate with the enzyme but does not change the rate of hydrolysis. In a previous report (De Meis, L., Gomez-Puyou, M.T. and Gomez-Puyou, A. (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 171, 343-349), it has been shown that the hydrophobic molecules trifluoperazine and iron bathophenanthroline compete for the catalytic site of the Pi-reactive form of the enzyme. Here it is shown that inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by these compounds is reduced or abolished when Ca2+ binds to the low-affinity Ca2+ binding sites of the enzyme. Since inhibition by these agents is indifferent to activation of hydrolysis by high concentrations of ATP, it is suggested that the second Km for ATP and the inhibition by hydrophobic molecules involve two different Ca-free forms of the enzyme.  相似文献

Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles of rabbit skeletal muscle are able to accumulate Ca2+ or Sr2+ at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. Depending on the conditions used, vesicles loaded with Ca2+ can catalyze either an ATP in equilibrium Pi exchange or the synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi. Both reactions are impaired in vesicles loaded with Sr2+. The Sr2+ concentration required for half-maximal ATPase activity increases from 2 microM to 60-70 microM when the Mg2+ concentration is raised from 0.5 to 50 mM. The enzyme is phosphorylated by ATP in the presence of Sr2+. The steady state level of phosphoenzyme varies depending on both the Sr2+ and Mg2+ concentrations in the medium. Phosphorylation of the enzyme by Pi is inhibited by both Ca2+ and Sr2+. In the presence of 2 and 20 mM Mg2+, half-maximal inhibition is attained in the presence of 4 and 8 microM Ca2+ or in the presence of 0.24 mM and more than 2 mM Sr2+, respectively. After the addition of Sr2+, the phosphoenzyme is cleaved with two different rate constants, 0.5-1.5 s-1 and 10-18 s-1. The fraction of phosphoenzyme cleaved at a slow rate is smaller the higher the Sr2+ concentration in the medium. Ca2+ inhibition of enzyme phosphorylation by Pi is overcome by the addition of ITP. This is not observed when Ca2+ is replaced by Sr2+.  相似文献

The activation of ATP reversible Pi exchange, normally associated with a Ca2+ concentration gradient in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, can be obtained in "leaky" vesicles in 4-10 mM CaCl2. In the micromolar range, Ag+ activates the ATP reversible Pi exchange two- to fourfold. Similar concentrations of Ag+ promote a parallel inhibition of Ca2+- activated ATP hydrolysis and Ca2+ uptake in intact vesicles. Maximal inhibition of these activities by Ag+ leaves the Mg2+-dependent ATPase unaffected. No net synthesis of ATP was demonstrated in leaky vesicles. The effects of Ag+ depends on the protein concentration and persist after removal of Ag+ from the medium. Membrane phosphorylation from Pi or from ATP is respectively activated or inhibited by Ag+ in reciprocal fashion.  相似文献

Cooperative calcium binding (apparent Kd = 1.04 X 10(-6) M) to the ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles occurs with a maximal stoichiometry of 2 mols of divalent cation/mol of enzyme in the absence of ATP. The bound calcium is distributed into two pools which undergo fast or slow isotopic exchange, respectively. The two pools retain a 1:1 molar ratio under various conditions and are both located within a protein crevice, as suggested by their cooperative interaction and exchange kinetics. Following enzyme phosphorylation by ATP, both pools of bound calcium are "internalized" (cannot be displaced by quench reagents). If following 45Ca2+ binding, isotopic dilution is obtained in the medium by adding 40Ca2+ with ATP, internalization of both pools of bound 45Ca2+ (2 mol/mol of phosphoenzyme) is still observed within the first enzyme cycle. When the cycle is reversed by addition of excess ADP soon after ATP, only half of the internalized 45Ca2+ is released from the enzyme into the medium outside the vesicles, while the other half remains with the vesicles. If half of the bound 45Ca2+ is exchanged (fast exchange) with 40Ca2+ previous to the addition of ATP, none of the remaining 45Ca2+ is released outside the vesicles upon reversal of the enzyme cycle. Therefore, the pool of bound calcium which undergoes slower exchange with the outside medium, is the first to be released inside the vesicles upon enzyme phosphorylation. A sequential mechanism of calcium binding and translocation is proposed, that accounts for binding cooperativity and exchange kinetics, presteady state transients following addition of ATP, and the Ca2+ concentration dependence of ATPase activity in steady state.  相似文献

The coupling of Ca2+ movements and phosphate fluxes as well as the time-dependent occurrence of sequential reaction intermediates in the forward mode of the Ca,Mg-dependent ATPase reaction have been investigated using leaky vesicles (A23187) in the presence of varying Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ concentrations. The employed ATP concentration of 2 microM does not allow more than one reaction cycle to occur. The respective fractions of ADP-sensitive and ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme have been determined. The chosen experimental conditions (0-1 degree C, pH 6.0, absence of solubilizers) allow a prolonged time of observation and exclude interfering alterations of coupling and binding parameters, respectively. It is shown that under the experimental conditions K+ interacts with at least four different reaction steps (phosphoenzyme formation, E1P----E2P transition, E2P hydrolysis, and E2----E1 transformation). Mg2+ represents the sole ionic co-factor for the formation of the substrate MgATP if it is present in high concentrations (5 mM). Additional Ca2+ is bound to the substrate as well as to unspecific sites otherwise occupied by Mg2+ if Mg2+ is reduced to 0.1 mM. In this case the E1P----E2P transition rate (including Ca2+ translocation and Ca2+ release from low-affinity sites) is little diminished. If, in the absence of K+, both Mg2+ and Ca2+ are deficient E2P hydrolysis is vastly retarded. We find Ca2+ release to occur time-coincidently with E1P formation and not concomitantly with the comparably slow appearance of E2P; the molar amount of Ca2+ released, however, rather agreed with that of E2P formed. This suggests that under the prevailing conditions of a high proton concentration, phosphoenzyme states containing occluded Ca2+ or Ca2+ bound to low-affinity sites are transitional and not detectable. Preliminary findings on this subject have been published by us and colleagues from this laboratory [Hasselbach, W., Agostini, B., Medda, P., Migala, A. & Waas, W. (1985) in The sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump: Early and recent developments critically overviewed (Fleischer, S. & Tonomura, Y., eds) pp. 19-49, Academic Press, Orlando].  相似文献

The formation and maintenance of Ca2+-filling levels by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from euthyroid (control) and hypothyroid skeletal muscle were investigated using the Ca2+-indicator quin-2, at [Ca2+] in the medium [( Cao2+]) of 0.05-0.3 microM. Rapid ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake resulted in a steady-state Ca2+-filling level, Cai2+, within one minute. This Ca2+ gradient was maintained for at least three minutes, during which less than 20% of the ATP was consumed. Cai2+ was maximal (120 nmol/mg) for [Cao2+] greater than 0.3 microM and decreased to 40 nmol/mg at [Cao2+] of 0.05 microM. Preparations from both experimental groups showed qualitatively and quantitatively the same relationship between Cai2+ and [Cao2+] at steady state, despite a significantly lower Ca2+-pump content of hypothyroid sarcoplasmic reticulum, which resulted in a 25% lower maximal (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity. Maintenance of the steady state, at all levels of Cai2+, was associated with net ATP consumption by the Ca2+ pump and cycling of Ca2+, which processes were 30% slower in the hypothyroid group as compared to the control group. Determination of the passive efflux of Ca2+, as well as the fraction of leaky or unsealed sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments, excluded either of these possibilities as an explanation for the relatively high (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase rates at steady state. On the basis of these and previously reported results, it is concluded that the maintenance of a Ca2+ gradient by sarcoplasmic reticulum under physiological conditions with respect to external [Ca2+] and the concentrations of ATP, ADP and Pi, is associated with the cycling of Ca2+ coupled to net ATP hydrolysis. Using the obtained data it is calculated that the sarcoplasmic reticulum may account for 20% of the resting metabolic rate in skeletal muscle. Consequently, together with the previously reported lower sarcoplasmic reticulum content of skeletal muscle in hypothyroidism, we calculate that about one third of the decrease in basal metabolic rate in this thyroid state can be related to the alterations of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

A radioisotope flux-rapid-quench-Millipore filtration method is described for determining the effects of Ca2+, adenine nucleotides, and Mg2+ on the Ca2+ release behaviour of "heavy" sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles. Rapid 45Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded vesicles was blocked by the addition of Mg2+ and ruthenium red. At pH 7 and 10(-9) M Ca2+, vesicles released 45Ca2+ with a low rate (k = 0.1 s-1). An increase in external Ca2+ concentration to 4 microM or the addition of 5 mM ATP or the ATP analogue adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylenetriphosphate) (AMP-PCP) resulted in intermediate 45Ca2+ release rates. The maximal release rate was observed in media containing 4 microM Ca2+ and 5 mM AMP-PCP and had a first-order rate constant of 30-100 s-1. Mg2+ partially inhibited Ca2+- and nucleotide-induced 45Ca2+ efflux. In the absence of AMP-PCP, 45Ca2+ release was fully inhibited at 5 mM Mg2+ or 5 mM Ca2+. The composition of the release media was systematically varied, and the flux data were expressed in the form of Hill equations. The apparent n values of activation of Ca2+ release by ATP and AMP-PCP were 1.6-1.9. The Hill coefficient of Ca2+ activation (n = 0.8-2.1) was dependent on nucleotide and Mg2+ concentrations, whereas the one of Mg2+ inhibition (n = 1.1-1.6) varied with external Ca2+ concentration. These results suggest that heavy SR vesicles contain a "Ca2+ release channel" which is capable of conducting Ca2+ at rates comparable with those found in intact muscle. Ca2+, AMP-PCP (ATP), and Mg2+ appear to act at noninteracting or interacting sites of the channel.  相似文献

In the absence of oxalate, Ca2+ accumulation by isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles may show a transient behavior in which the vesicles accumulate during the first 2 min of incubation as much as twice the amount of Ca2+ which is retained after 5-7 min, when Ca2+ accumulation approaches a steady state. Before Ca2+ release begins, the Ca2+ accumulation can reach 200-250 nmol/mg protein. The spontaneous release of the "extra" Ca2+ initially accumulated appears to be triggered by the attainment of a sufficiently high concentration of free Ca2+ inside the vesicles. The amplitude of the transient phase of Ca2+ accumulation reaches a high value near pH 6.0 and is increased by free Mg2+. At optimal concentrations of H+ and Mg2+, the amount of Ca2+ accumulated during the transient is augmented by various anions, in the order maleate > or = propionate > or = succinate > chloride > sulfate > acetylglycine. The divalent anions have their maximum effects at 20-40 mM and the monovalent anions, at 40-200 mM. At 200 mM, all of the carboxylic anions tested significantly reduce the amount of Ca2+ retained in the steady state.  相似文献

The effect of pH on the Ca2+-binding sites of high and low affinity, located respectively on the outer and inner surfaces of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane, was investigated using intact and leaky sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. With the use of intact vesicles, different pH profiles of membrane phosphorylation and rates of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis were obtained depending on the assay temperature, on the Ca2+ concentration, and on whether ATP or ITP was used as substrate. The different pH profiles were related to the amount of Ca2+ accumualted by the vesicles, i.e., to different degrees of saturation of the inner, low-affinity Ca2+-binding site. With the use of leaky vesicles, the saturation of the two Ca2+-binding sites could be controlled more precisely since the Ca2+ concentration on both sides of the membrane was equal to the Ca2+ concentration of the assay medium. Using leaky vesicles and measuring the rates of nucleotide hydrolysis, nucleotide-phosphate exchange and membrane phosphorylation by nucleotide as an indication of the degree of saturation of the Ca2+-binding sites, we observed that the affinity of both the high- and low-affinity sites increased three to four orders of magnitude when the pH of the assay medium was increased from 6.1 to 8.65.  相似文献

Plasma membrane vesicles were prepared from guinea pig peritoneal exudate neutrophils, using nitrogen cavitation to rupture the plasma membrane and differential centrifugation to separate the vesicles. The vesicles were enriched 13.2-fold in (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity and had a cholesterol:protein ratio of 0.15, characteristic of plasma membranes. Contamination of the vesicle preparation with DNA or marker enzyme activities for intracellular organelles was very low. Studies designed to determine vesicle sidedness and integrity indicated that 33% were sealed, inside-out; 41% were sealed, right side-out, and 26% were leaky. The vesicles accumulated 45Ca2+ in a linear fashion for 45 min. The uptake was dependent on the presence of oxalate and MgATP in the incubating medium. Uptake showed a Ka for free Ca2+ of 164 nM and a Vmax of 17.2 nmol/mg . min (based on total protein). GTP, ITP, CTP, UTP, ADP, or AMP supported uptake at rates less than or equal to 11% of ATP. Ca2+ uptake was maximal at pH 7-7.5. Calcium stimulated the hydrolysis of ATP by the vesicles with a Ka for free Ca2+ of 440 nM and Vmax of 17.5 nmol/mg . min (based on total protein). When the Ca2+ uptake rate was based upon those vesicles expected to transport Ca2+ (33% sealed, inside-out vesicles) and Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity was based upon those vesicles expected to express that activity (26% leaky + 33% sealed, inside-out vesicles), the molar stoichiometry of Ca2+ transported:ATP hydrolyzed was 2.12 +/- 0.12. Calmodulin did not increase either Vmax or Ka for free Ca2+ of the uptake system in the vesicles, even when they were treated previously with ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. The high affinity of this system for Ca2+, specificity for ATP, physiological pH optimum, and stoichiometry of Ca2+ transported:ATP hydrolyzed suggest that it represents an important mechanism by which neutrophils maintain low levels of cytoplasmic free Ca2+.  相似文献

The decomposition of 32P phosphorylated enzyme intermediate formed by incubation of sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase with [gamma-32P]ATP was studied following dilution of the reaction medium with a large excess of nonradioactive ATP. The phosphoenzyme decomposition includes two kinetic components. The fraction of intermediate undergoing slower decomposition is minimal in the presence of low (microM) Ca2+ and maximal in the presence of high (mM) Ca2+. A large fraction of phosphoenzyme undergoes slow decomposition when the Ca2+ concentration is high inside the vesicles, even if the Ca2+ concentration in the medium outside the vesicles is low. Parallel measurements of ATPase steady state velocity in the same experimental conditions indicate that the apparent rate constant for the slow component of phosphoenzyme decomposition is inadequate to account for the steady state ATPase velocity observed under the same conditions and cannot be the rate-limiting step in a single, obligatory pathway of the catalytic cycle. On the contrary, the steady state enzyme velocity at various Ca2+ concentrations is accounted for by the simultaneous contribution of both phosphoenzyme fractions undergoing fast and slow decomposition. Contrary to its slow rate of decomposition in the forward direction of the cycle, the phosphoenzyme pool formed in the presence of high Ca2+ reacts rapidly with ADP to form ATP in the reverse direction of the cycle. Detailed analysis of these experimental observations is consistent with a branched pathway following phosphoryl transfer from ATP to the enzyme, whereby the phosphoenzyme undergoes an isomeric transition followed by ADP dissociation, or ADP dissociation followed by the isomeric transition. The former path is much faster and is prevalent when the intravesicular Ca2+ concentration is low. When the intravesicular Ca2+ concentration rises, a pool of phosphoenzyme is formed by reverse equilibration through the alternate path. In the absence of ADP this intermediate decays slowly in the forward direction, and in the presence of ADP it decays rapidly in the reverse direction of the cycle.  相似文献

The present paper concerns with ion homeostatic reactions in view of stimulus-secretion coupling of the beta-cell, including Ca2+ fluxes of the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER). A steady state of cytosolic sodium and potassium ion concentrations ([Na+]c and [K+]c, respectively), and of the membrane potential (Delta c phi) can be attained only, if the flux through the electrogenic Na-K pump (JNaK) is balanced electrically, and if JNaK is rather high (about 25% of total ATP consumption at 10 mM glucose). Metabolically caused changes of cellular pH are unlikely, because, on the one hand, CO2 can rapidly leave the cell through cellular membranes, and because ATP cycling cannot produce nor consume protons. A slight decrease of pHc during cellular activity is caused mainly by an increased Ca-H exchange flux through the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (J PMCA), which might be overcome, however, by H+ transport into secretory granules. The present simulations show that the conductance of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (K ATP) is highly susceptible to changes of [Mg2+]c. As a physical link between the Ca2+ filling state of the ER and the initiation of a depolarising, Ca2+ release-activated current (I CRAN), a metabolite (inositol 1,4,-diphosphate (IP2)) of the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) cycle is introduced. Sufficient ATP for insulin secretion is made available during glucose activation by [IP2] inhibition of a parallel [ATP]c consuming flux through protein biosynthesis (J Pbs). This leads to fast oscillations with a triphasic patterns of [Ca2+]c oscillations. Slow oscillations are initiated by including a Ca2+ leak current through highly uncoupled SERCA3 pumps. Both types of oscillations may superimpose yielding compound bursting and mixed oscillations of [Ca2+]c.  相似文献

The Ca(2+)-stimulated adenosine 5'-triphosphate-orthophosphate (ATP in equilibrium with 32Pi) exchange reaction was studied using a vesicular preparation derived from plasma membrane of kidney proximal tubules. With native inside-out vesicles, ATP in equilibrium with 32Pi was stimulated by micromolar Ca2+ concentrations. Treatment of the vesicles with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 that abolished Ca2+ accumulation, strongly inhibited ATP in equilibrium with 32Pi. When Ca(2+)-ATPase was solubilized with the nonionic detergent octaethylene glycol mono n-dodecyl ether, maximal activation of ATP in equilibrium with 32Pi required millimolar Ca2+ concentrations. These Ca2+ concentrations inhibited ATP hydrolysis. ATP in equilibrium with 32Pi exhibited a Michaelian dependence on Pi and Mg2+, was stimulated by ATP, and depended on the ATP/ADP ratio. ATP in equilibrium with 32Pi was modified by the osmolytes urea, trimethylamine-N-oxide, and sucrose, which are representative of the methylamines and polyols that normally accumulate in renal tissue. These compounds did not modify the apparent affinity for Pi; they affected the response to ADP in the same fashion as the overall rate of ATP in equilibrium 32Pi, and their effects depended on medium pH. These data show that the Ca(2+)-ATPase from plasma membrane kidney proximal tubules can operate simultaneously in forward and backward directions. They also show that ATP in equilibrium with 32Pi is modulated by the ligands Ca2+, ATP, ADP, Pi, Mg2+, and H+, and by organic solutes found in renal tissue.  相似文献

The basic kinetic properties of the solubilized and purified Ca2+-translocating ATPase from human erythrocyte membranes were studied. A complex interaction between the major ligands (i.e., Ca2+, Mg2+, H+, calmodulin and ATP) and the enzyme was found. The apparent affinity of the enzyme for Ca2+ was inversely proportional to the concentration of free Mg2+ and H+, both in the presence or absence of calmodulin. In addition, the apparent affinity of the enzyme for Ca2+ was significantly increased by the presence of calmodulin at high concentrations of MgCl2 (5 mM), while it was hardly affected at low concentrations of MgCl2 (2 mM or less). In addition, the ATPase activity was inhibited by free Mg2+ in the millimolar concentration range. Evidence for a high degree of positive cooperativity for Ca2+ activation of the enzyme (Hill coefficient near to 4) was found in the presence of calmodulin in the slightly alkaline pH range. The degree of cooperativity induced by Ca2+ in the presence of calmodulin was decreased strongly as the pH decreased to acid values (Hill coefficient below 2). In the absence of calmodulin, the Hill coefficient was 2 or slightly below over the whole pH range tested. Two binding affinities of the enzyme for ATP were found. The apparent affinity of the enzyme for calmodulin was around 6 nM and independent of the Mg2+ concentration. The degree of stimulation of the ATPase activity by calmodulin was dependent on the concentrations of both Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the assay system.  相似文献
