Effects of electron donors on Ca2+-dependent K+ transport in one-step inside-out vesicles from the human erythrocyte membrane
Authors:J Alvarez  J García-Sancho  B Herreros
Abstract:The interactions between reducing agents and Ca2+ in the activation of Ca2+-dependent K+ transport have been studied in one-step inside-out vesicles. The artificial electron donor system ascorbate + phenazine methosulphate increases the apparent sensitivity to Ca2+ by about 5-times over control values (half activation constant, about 5 X 10(-8) M) while oxidized cytochrome c decreases the sensitivity to about 1/3 of the controls. Using redox buffers at a fixed pCa it is shown that the shift from the low to the high-affinity state can be accounted by the reduction of a membrane component accepting two electrons and with an apparent standard redox potential (pH 7.5) of 47 mV. The electrons can be transferred directly from reduced PMS or to oxidized cytochrome c, but not from ascorbate, NADH or reduced glutathione.
