ATP-driven calcium uptake was studied in basal-lateral membranes and in microsomal fractions, isolated from pig kidney cortex. The uptake is strongly enhanced in conditions where calcium inside the vesicles is precipitated by oxalate (5 mM) or phosphate (40 mM). Both anions were equally effective for the stimulation of calcium uptake in the microsomes but oxalate was less effective than phosphate in the basal-lateral membrane fraction. The active calcium pumps in the renal basal-lateral and microsomal fractions are different transport ATPases characterized by phosphorylated intermediates of 135 kDa and 115 kDa respectively. The subcellular distribution of the 135 kDa and 115 kDa phosphointermediates, reflects the distribution of typical marker enzymes for the basal-lateral membrane and for the endoplasmic reticulum. The calmodulin binding to the 135 kDa polypeptide as estimated by 125I-labelled calmodulin overlay, can be used as a specific marker for the basal-lateral plasma membrane calcium pump.  相似文献

Energy-dependent calcium uptake activity of microsomes isolated from the rat aorta has been characterized. The microsomes consist of smooth membrane vesicles which in the presence of MG-ATP as an energy source continuously sequester calcium over a 60-min period. This calcium uptake is greatly stimulated by oxalate anion which serves as a calcium trapping agent. Unlike the calcium uptake of mitochondria this uptake is not inhibited by sodium azide. Sucrose density gradient analysis of the microsomal calcium uptake suggests that the system is associated with the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In presence of 5 mM Mg-ATP and 20 muM calcium approximately 38 nmol of calcium per mg of microsomal protein are taken up in 20 min. In the absence of ATP, less than 2 nmol of calcium per mg of protein are taken up in the first 2 min with no further uptake of calcium in subsequent time periods. When calcium uptake activity is plotted against calcium or ATP concentration of the medium, half maximal activity is calculated for 24.3 muM calcium and for 1.6 mM ATP. The calcium uptake characteristics of the rat aorta microsomes are compatible with a postulated role in the relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle and the provision of an intracellular calcium store for muscle contraction. Aorta microsomes from SHR rats (a genetic strain that is spontaneously hypertensive) have a significantly reduced uptake when compared with the corresponding nonhypertensive control strain. The level of calcium and ATP for half maximal activity of the rat aorta microsomal calcium uptake system is approximately the same in the SHR and the control strain. The rate of release of calcium from rat aorta microsomes is apparently identical in SHR strain and control. The calcium uptake activity of kidney and liver microsomes isolated from the SHR strain and control. The calcium uptake activity of kidney and liver microsomes isolated from the SHR rat appears to be identical to that found in the control strain.  相似文献

The endoplasmic reticulum from isolated rat adipocytes has the ability to actively accumulate calcium. The calcium uptake was characterized using the 20,000 X g supernatant (S1 fraction) of total cellular homogenate. Endoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from the S1 fraction as a 160,000 X g microsomal pellet prior to testing demonstrated little ability to accumulate calcium. The calcium uptake in the S1 fraction was localized to the endoplasmic reticulum vesicles by morphologic appearance, by the use of selective inhibitors of calcium uptake, and by high speed sedimentation of the accumulated calcium. The uptake was MgATP- and temperature-dependent and was sustained by the oxalate used as the intravesicular trapping agent. Uptake was linear with time for at least 30 min at all calcium concentrations tested (3 to 100 muM) and exhibited a pH optimum of approximately 7.0. The sulfhydryl inhibitor p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate produced a dose-dependent inhibition of calcium uptake with total inhibition at 0.07 mumol/mg protein. Ruthenium red and sodium azide inhibited less than 5% of the uptake at concentrations (5 muM and 10 mM, respectively) which completely blocked calcium uptake by mitochondria isolated from the same cells. The Km for calcium uptake was 10 muM total calcium which corresponded to approximately 3.6 muM ionized calcium in the assay system. The maximum velocity of the uptake was 5.0 nmol (mg of microsomal protein)-1 (min)-1 at 24 degrees under the assay conditions used and exhibited a Q10 of 1.8. The uptake activity of the endoplasmic reticulum vesicles in the S1 fraction exhibited a marked time- and temperature-dependent lability which might account in part for the lack of uptake in the isolated microsomal fraction. This energy-dependent calcium uptake system would appear to be of physiologic importance to the regulation of intracellular calcium.  相似文献

Mechanisms regulating the energy-dependent calcium sequestering activity of liver microsomes were studied. The possibility for a physiologic mechanism capable of entrapping the transported Ca2+ was investigated. It was found that the addition of glucose 6-phosphate to the incubation system for MgATP-dependent microsomal calcium transport results in a marked stimulation of Ca2+ uptake. The uptake at 30 min is about 50% of that obtained with oxalate when the incubation is carried out at pH 6.8, which is the pH optimum for oxalate-stimulated calcium uptake. However, at physiological pH values (7.2-7.4), the glucose 6-phosphate-stimulated calcium uptake is maximal and equals that obtained with oxalate at pH 6.8. The Vmax of the glucose 6-phosphate-stimulated transport is 22.3 nmol of calcium/mg protein per min. The apparent Km for calcium calculated from total calcium concentrations is 31.9 microM. After the incubation of the system for MgATP-dependent microsomal calcium transport in the presence of glucose 6-phosphate, inorganic phosphorus and calcium are found in equal concentrations, on a molar base, in the recovered microsomal fraction. In the system for the glucose 6-phosphate-stimulated calcium uptake, glucose 6-phosphate is actively hydrolyzed by the glucose-6-phosphatase activity of liver microsomes. The latter activity is not influenced by concomitant calcium uptake. Calcium uptake is maximal when the concentration of glucose 6-phosphate in the system is 1-3 mM, which is much lower than that necessary to saturate glucose-6-phosphatase. These results are interpreted in the light of a possible cooperative activity between the energy-dependent calcium pump of liver microsomes and the glucose-6-phosphatase multicomponent system. The physiological implications of such a cooperation are discussed.  相似文献

Transport of Ca2+ in microsomal membrane vesicles of the Tetrahymena has been investigated using arsenazo III as a Ca2+ indicator. The microsomes previously shown to carry a Mg2+-dependent, Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (Muto, Y. and Nozawa, Y. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 777, 67-74) accumulated calcium upon addition of ATP and Ca2+ sequestered into microsomal vesicles was rapidly discharged by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. Kinetic studies indicated that the apparent Km for free Ca2+ and ATP are 0.4 and 59 microM, respectively. The Vmax was about 40 nmol/mg protein per min at 37 degrees C. The calcium accumulated during ATP-dependent uptake was released after depletion of ATP in the incubation medium. Furthermore, addition of trifluoperazine which inhibited both (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake rapidly released the calcium accumulated in the microsomal vesicles. These observations suggest that Tetrahymena microsome contains both abilities to take up and to release calcium and may act as a Ca2+-regulating site in this organism.  相似文献

Electron-dense deposits representing calcium oxalate crystals which result from ATP-dependent calcium uptake have been localized within vesicles of of a heavy microsomal fraction prepared from mouse pancreatic acini. In the absence of either ATP or oxalate, no electron-dense deposits could be observed. By subfractionation of microsomes on discontinuous sucrose gradients, it could be shown that the highest energy-dependent calcium transport activity was associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum. In rough microsomes, the 45Ca2+-uptake measured was 7 times greater than that of smooth microsomes in the presence of ATP and oxalate and about 3 times greater in he presence of ATP alone. When ribosomes were released from the rough endoplasmic reticulum vesicles by treatment with KCl in the presence of puromycin, the stripped microsomes showed a 40% increase in the specific 45Ca2+-uptake activity measured in he presence of ATP and oxalate and an increase of 80 to 90% in the presence of ATP alone. From these results it can be concluded that the calcium transport activity of microsomes prepared from mouse pancreatic acini is located predominantly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane.  相似文献

Calcium uptake by the microsomal and mitochondrial fractions of pig coronary artery and guinea pig ileum was studied in the presence of ATP, ATP plus oxalate and without ATP and oxalate. Microsomes and mitochondria of both smooth muscles were found to be unable to accumulate appreciable amounts of calcium in the absence of ATP. Oxalate noticeably stimulated the calcium uptake of the mitochondrial fraction from pig coronary artery but had little effect on calcium uptake by the microsomal fraction of this smooth muscle. The calcium uptake of microsomes and mitochondria from guinea pig ileum was not or only slightly enhanced by oxalate. There are typical kinetics regarding the time course and the extent of calcium uptake by microsomes and mitochondria from pig coronary artery and guinea pig ileum. In comparison, considerable qualitative and quantitative differences between both smooth muscles are observed. The high ATP-dependent calcium uptake capacity of the mitochondria from pig coronary artery and guinea pig ileum are a further argument for the hypothesis that these organelles may play an important role in the contraction-relaxation mechanism of smooth muscle.  相似文献

Energy-dependent calcium uptake activity of microsomes isolated from the rat aorta has been characterized. The microsomes consist of smooth membrane vesicles which in the presence of Mg · ATP as an energy source continuously sequester calcium over a 60-min period. This calcium uptake is greatly stimulated by oxalate anion which serves as a calcium trapping agent. Unlike the calcium uptake of miltochondria this uptake is not inhibited by sodium azide. Sucrose density gradient analysis of the microsomal calcium uptake suggests that the system is associated with the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In presence of 5 mM Mg · ATP and 20μM calcium approximately 38 nmol of calcium per mg of microsormal protein are taken up in 20 min. In the absence of ATP, less than 2 nmol of calcium per mg of protein are taken up in the first 2 min. with no further uptake of calcium in subsequent time periods. When calcium uptake activity is plotted against calcium or ATP concentration of the medium, half maximal activity is calculated for 24.3 μM calcium and for 1.6 mM ATP.

The calcium uptake activity of kidney and liver microsomes isolated from the SHR rat appears to be identical to that found in the control strain.Rats were treated with the steroid deoxycorticosterone acetate for ten and thirty days to induce hypertension. After ten days of deoxycorticosterone acetate although hypertension is present, there is no change in calcium uptake activity of aorta microsomes, renal microsomes or renal plasma membranes. After 30 days of deoxycorticosterone acetate treatment calcium uptake activity of renal microsomes is reduced. A variable decrease in calcium uptake activity is observed with aorta microsomes. Renal plasma membrane calcium uptake remains unchanged.  相似文献

Microsomes from rat submaxillary glands are able to take up calcium from the suspension media. Calcium uptake is greatly increased by the presence of ATP. This effect of ATP is not detected at 0°C. ADP cannot replace ATP to potentiate calcium uptake. ATP-dependent calcium uptake is not observed in the absence of magnesium. ATP-dependent calcium uptake is enhanced by oxalate and, to a lesser degree, by inorganic phosphate. Total calcium per milligram of microsomal protein observed when tests were performed without oxalate closely parallels the amounts for skeletal and cardiac muscles reported by several authors. Calcium uptake in salivary gland microsomes is slower than in muscle microsomes. Speculations are considered about the role of ATP-dependent calcium uptake. It is suggested that a decrease in intracellular free calcium levels returns these cells to the resting state after secretion.  相似文献

A method is described for preparation of large amounts of a plasma membrane (PM) enriched fraction from the smooth muscle of dog antrum. It consists of preparing microsomes, treating them with ATP + EGTA + Mg, centrifuging in 30% sucrose and then centrifuging the resulting supernatant in 15% sucrose to yield the plasma membrane enriched fraction P6. The subcellular fractions obtained at various steps during purification were characterized by: 5'-nucleotidase and phosphodiesterase I as plasma membrane markers; cytochrome c oxidase as an inner mitochondrial marker; NADPH-cytochrome c reductase as a putative endoplasmic reticulum marker; electron microscopy; polyacrylamide sodium dodecyl sulfate slab gel electrophoresis. The distribution of ATP-dependent and independent Ca uptake in presence and absence of azide and the effect of 5 mM oxalate or 25 mM phosphate on this uptake was also examined. The fraction P6 consists of mostly smooth surface vesicles 164.3 +/- 7.2 nm in diameter, has an exclusion volume of 9.7 microL/mg for [3H]inulin and 11.1 microL/mg for [3H]sucrose. P6 is maximally enriched in the ATP-dependent azide-insensitive Ca-uptake capacity and as compared with the postnuclear supernatant (S1) it shows a very small percent stimulation by oxalate and phosphate. The ATP-dependent Ca uptake by the P6 fraction occurs optimally at pH 7.0-7.4 and is much larger than the ATP-independent Ca uptake. At pH 7.1, the ATP-dependent Ca uptake occurs with a Km of 0.27 microM and a Hill coefficient greater than 2 for Ca2+. Half maximum binding of Ca2+ occurred at 300 microM Ca2+. Ca ionophores A23187 and ionomycin inhibited the ATP-dependent Ca uptake, and if added after the uptake, these caused a release of the accumulated Ca2+. From these and other data it is concluded that this PM preparation contains a Ca transport system which can lead to formation of greater than 1000-fold Ca2+ concentration gradient across the vesicle membrane in 1 min when extravesicular Ca2+ concentration is 0.3 microM. Thus this preparation is an extremely useful material for studying the mechanism of action of the Ca pump in smooth muscle plasma membrane.  相似文献

1. By using Ca-EGTA buffers, the Km for Ca2+ uptake into rat liver heavy microsomes (microsomal fraction) was found to be 0.2 microM free Ca2+. 2. In the absence of oxalate, these vesicles accumulate about 20 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein. Efflux of Ca2+ from the vesicles is much faster at pH 7.6 than at pH 6.8, but does not apparently show saturation kinetics or any stringent requirement for external ions. 3. The steady-state distribution of Ca2+ between the microsomes and the medium in the presence of ATP and the absence of oxalate is dependent on Ca2+ load. When the vesicles are loaded to 50% capacity, the external free Ca2+ concentration is 70 nM. 4. The affinity of heavy microsomes for Ca2+ is such that is seems likely that they has a dominant role in the determination of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentrations.  相似文献

Isolated cortices from unfertilized sea urchin eggs sequester calcium in an ATP-dependent manner when incubated in a medium containing free calcium levels characteristic of the resting cell (approximately 0.1 microM). This ATP-dependent calcium uptake activity was measured in the presence of 5 mM Na azide to prevent mitochondrial accumulation, was increased by oxalate, and was blocked by 150 microM quercetin and 50 microM vanadate (known inhibitors of calcium uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum). Cortical regions preloaded with 45Ca in the presence of ATP were shown to dramatically increase their rate of calcium efflux upon the addition of (a) the calcium ionophore A23187 (10 microM), (b) trifluoperazine (200 microM), (c) concentrations of free calcium that activated cortical granule exocytosis, and (d) the calcium mobilizing agent inositol trisphosphate. This pool of calcium is most likely sequestered in the portion of the egg's endoplasmic reticulum that remains associated with the cortical region during its isolation. We have developed a method for obtaining a high yield of purified microsomal vesicles from whole eggs. This preparation also demonstrates ATP-dependent calcium sequestering activity which increases in the presence of oxalate and has similar sensitivities to calcium transport inhibitors; however, the isolated microsomal vesicles did not show any detectable release of calcium when exposed to inositol trisphosphate.  相似文献

The purpose of the present work was to study the factors influencing calcium incorporation into a microsomal fraction prepared from the longitudinal smooth muscle of the guinea-pig ileum. Calcium incorporation required the presence of both ATP and Mg2+ and was unaffected by azide. It was enhanced by oxalate; this effect was pH dependent and it was maximal at pH 6.6. The relation between calcium uptake with oxalate and free Ca2+ concentration in the medium was represented by a curve with an optimum for Ca2+ equal to 3-10-5 M. The threshold concentration was comprised between 5-10-7 and 10-6 7. The optimum calcium uptake rate was 4.5 nmol Ca2+/mg protein per min. In the absence of oxalate, two distinct groups of binding sites were identified. Low affinity sites had a binding constant of 7-104 M-1 and a maximum binding capacity of 0.6-106 M-1 and a binding capacity of 33 nmol Ca2+/mg protein; their capacity was sensitive to pH changes. In the absence of oxalate, Ca2+ binding was depressed by Na+ with respect to K+ or choline. When the medium was supplemented with oxalate, the stimulation of 45Ca incorporation was barely detectable in the presence of choline+ and it was lower in a medium containing Na+ instead of K+. The subcellular distribution profiles of calcium incorporation with and without oxalate indicate the microsomal location of both activities. However, the oxalate-stimulated calcium uptake activity sedimented faster than the calcium binding activity. The subcellular distribution of marker enzyme actvities has been examined. The present results indicate that Ca2+ incorporations with and without oxalate are the result of two processes likely related to two different structures. The role of microsomal calcium uptake in excitation-contraction coupling and its modification by the activity of the sodium pump is discussed.  相似文献

Both oxalate-supported and phosphate-supported calcium uptake by canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum initially increase linearly with time but fall to a steady-state level within 20 min. The departure from linearity could be due to a decrease in influx or to an increase in efflux of calcium. Because Ca2+-ATPase activity is linear, a decrease in the influx of calcium is an unlikely cause of the non-linear calcium uptake curves. A possible cause of an increase in calcium efflux is rupture of the vesicles. This hypothesis was tested by investigating the amount of calcium which could be released upon addition of 5 mM EGTA. The amount of rapidly releasable calcium was zero until a threshold calcium uptake of about 4-6 mumol calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate per mg was reached. After that point the rapidly releasable calcium continued to increase with calcium oxalate to reach more than 23 mumol/mg, but stayed constant at about 0.7 mumol/mg for calcium phosphate. The rapidly releasable calcium was attributed to calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate crystals externalized by vesicle rupture. The differences in the amounts of rapidly releasable calcium were attributed to different kinetics of calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate dissolution. Addition of ryanodine caused a marked increase in the threshold for rapidly releasable calcium oxalate. Transmission electron micrographs showed that vesicles can become filled with calcium oxalate crystals, but the vesicles were heterogeneous with respect to their size and their sensitivity to ryanodine. These observations support the hypothesis that calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate capacities are limited by vesicle rupture and that ryanodine increases the capacity by closing a calcium channel in a subpopulation of vesicles that otherwise would not accumulate calcium.  相似文献

Low concentrations of free Ca2+ stimulated the hydrolysis of ATP by plasma membrane vesicles purified from guinea pig neutrophils and incubated in 100 mM HEPES/triethanolamine, pH 7.25. In the absence of exogenous magnesium, apparent values obtained were 320 nM (EC50 for free Ca2+), 17.7 nmol of Pi/mg X min (Vmax), and 26 microM (Km for total ATP). Studies using trans- 1,2-diaminocyclohexane- N,N,N',N',-tetraacetic acid as a chelator showed this activity was dependent on 13 microM magnesium, endogenous to the medium plus membranes. Without added Mg2+, Ca2+ stimulated the hydrolysis of several other nucleotides: ATP congruent to GTP congruent to CTP congruent to ITP greater than UTP, but Ca2+-stimulated ATPase was not coupled to uptake of Ca2+, even in the presence of 5 mM oxalate. When 1 mM MgCl2 was added, the vesicles demonstrated oxalate and ATP-dependent calcium uptake at approximately 8 nmol of Ca2+/mg X min (based on total membrane protein). Ca2+ uptake increased to a maximum of approximately 17-20 nmol of Ca2+/mg X min when KCl replaced HEPES/triethanolamine in the buffer. In the presence of both KCl and MgCl2, Ca2+ stimulated the hydrolysis of ATP selectively over other nucleotides. Apparent values obtained for the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase were 440 nM (EC50 for free Ca2+), 17.5 nmol Pi/mg X min (Vmax) and 100 microM (Km for total ATP). Similar values were found for Ca2+ uptake which was coupled efficiently to Ca2+-stimulated ATPase with a molar ratio of 2.1 +/- 0.1. Exogenous calmodulin had no effect on the Vmax or EC50 for free Ca2+ of the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase, either in the presence or absence of added Mg2+, with or without an ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N',-tetraacetic acid pretreatment of the vesicles. The data demonstrate that calcium stimulates ATP hydrolysis by neutrophil plasma membranes that is coupled optimally to transport of Ca2+ in the presence of concentrations of K+ and Mg2+ that appear to mimic intracellular levels.  相似文献

Summary A microsomal fraction was isolated from the smooth muscle of the antrum of the pig stomach by differential centrifugation. Electron microscopy of the negatively stained material showed that this fraction is heterogeneous in composition. The microsomes accumulated calcium in the presence of ATP, magnesium and oxalate. The amount of calcium taken up per mg protein was in the same range as observed for other smooth muscle microsomal preparations. Although this amount is much smaller than that in the microsomal fraction of skeletal muscle, calcium oxalate crystals were formed in some vesicles, as occurs in the skeletal muscle fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum. Through the presence of the calcium oxalate crystals, many of these vesicles acquired sufficient mass and density to allow them to be isolated by centrifugation. A purification of about 40 fold in terms of calcium content was reached.  相似文献

A platelet subcellular fraction, sedimenting between 14,000 and 40,000 g and consisting primarily of membrane vesicles, accumulates up to 200–400 nmoles calcium/mg protein in the presence of ATP and oxalate. Steady-state levels of calcium accumulation are attained in 40–60 min. Calcium uptake requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is enhanced by oxalate, and is accompanied by the release of inorganic phosphate. Calcium accumulation and phosphate release require magnesium and are inhibited by Salyrgan (10 µM) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (1 mM), but not by ouabain (0.1 mM). The ATPase activity is stimulated by low concentrations of calcium (5–10 µM) and is inhibited by 2 mM EGTA. Electron microscopic histochemistry using lead nitrate to precipitate released phosphate results in lead precipitates localized primarily at the inner surface of membrane vesicles. These results provide evidence for a membrane ATPase that is stimulated by low concentrations of calcium and may be involved in the transport of calcium across the membrane. It is postulated that the observed calcium uptake activity is an in vitro manifestation of a calcium extrusion pump in the intact platelet.  相似文献

1. Microsomes prepared from the combined media and intima of pig coronary artery, take up Ca in an ATP-dependent way. This uptake is stimulated by oxalate. 2. Conditions have been determined to optimize the preparation of the microsomes in terms of their Ca accumulation activity. Careful homogenization of the tissue mince in 0.25 M sucrose by means of a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer gives microsomal preparations with the highest specific activity for Ca accumulation. 3. Arguments are presented to support the hypothesis that, even in the absence of oxalate, Ca accumulation occurs into the lumen of the vesicles, and that these vesicles have a low Ca permeability. 4. Density gradient analysis shows that the microsomal fraction prepared from pig coronary artery media and intima is composed of vesicles that are heterogeneous in enzymatic composition. 5. Adenylate cyclase appears to be a predominantly plasma membrane-bound enzyme. Rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase and choline phosphotransferase, two putative markers for internal membranes, give distinct banding patterns on on isopycnic centrifugation, indicating different intracellular localization. 6. There is a difference between the density gradient distribution pattern of Ca uptake measured in the presence or absence of oxalate. The latter coincides more closely with plasma membrane markers. The former resembles more the distribution of rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase.  相似文献

Saponin, a cell-skinning reagent which perforates the cell membrane via its specific interaction with plasmalemmal cholesterol, was used to identify the subcellular origin of ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation in the presence and absence of inorganic phosphate and oxalate by microsomal fractions isolated from rat vas deferens and dog aorta. The purified plasma membranes from rat gastric fundus muscle, which elicit the stimulation of ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation by inorganic phosphate but not by oxalate, were used as a control reference. Saponin at concentrations effective for skinning smooth muscle fibres (10-50 micrograms/ml) inhibited Ca2+ binding in the absence of ATP to a similar extent in all fractions, but the inhibition of ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation was more pronounced in dog aorta microsomes and rat gastric fundus muscle plasma membranes than in rat vas deferens microsomes. The resistance of phosphate- and oxalate-stimulated ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation to inhibition by saponin was much greater in rat vas deferens than in dog aorta microsomes. Our results suggest that phosphate- and oxalate-stimulated ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation also occurs in plasma membrane vesicles isolated from smooth muscle and is by no means an unique property of endoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献
