Activity of a HCO-3 stimulated Mg2+ dependent ATPase is demonstrated in mitochondrial fractions of the avian duodenum. Suppression of eggshell calcification resulted in a slight reduction in Mg2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+HCO-3 ATPase activities. Duodenal carbonic anhydrase activity was lower in birds laying soft-shelled eggs than in birds laying normal eggs. Alkaline phosphatase and calcium binding protein levels both decreased along the length of the small intestine, but the effect was more pronounced for alkaline phosphatase. Suppression of eggshell calcification and treatment of shell-less laying hens with 1,25(OH)2D3 influenced alkaline phosphatase activity only in the duodenal mucosa. Suppression of eggshell calcification reduced CaBP levels in all sections of the intestine. Treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 restored CaBP levels. Regulation of intestinal CaBP levels by 1,25(OH)2D3 would therefore, seem to be controlled more directly by calcium requirements associated with eggshell calcification than by gonadal hormones.

Inside-out vesicles prepared from human red blood cells took up Ca2+ by an active transport process. Membranes from the same red blood cells displayed Ca2+-activated, Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity. Both the initial rate of Ca2+ transport and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-adenosine triphosphatase activity were increased approximately twofold by the calcium binding protein, calmodulin. Activities in the absence of added calmodulin were termed basal activities. Calmodulin-activated Ca2+ transport and adenosine triphosphatase activities could be antagonized in a relatively selective fashion by the phenothiazine tranquilizer drug, trifluoperazine. High concentrations of trifluoperazine also inhibited basal Ca2+ transport and adenosine triphosphatase activity. By contrast, calmodulin binding protein from beef brain selectively antagonized the effect of calmodulin on Ca2+ transport with no inhibition of basal activity. Ruthenium red antagonized calmodulin-activated and basal activity with equal potency. The results demonstrate that although phenothiazines can act as relatively selective antagonists of calmodulin-induced effects, other effects are possible and cannot be ignored. Calmodulin-binding protein may be a useful tool in the analysis of calmodulin functions. Ruthenium red probably interacts with Ca2+ pump adenosine triphosphatase at a site not related to calmodulin.

Temporal patterns of biosynthesis of the high affinity calcium binding protein from the sarcoplasmic reticulum were determined and compared with rates of ATPase ane cells. Cells at various stages of differentiation were incubated for 2 h with [35S]methionine. Specific proteins were isolated from detergent extracts of cells by incubation with antibodies specific against the various proteins and immunoprecipitates were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis. Radioactivity incorporated into specific bands was analyzed by counting gel slices and incorporation data were used to obtain relative rates of individual protein sys found to be indistinguishable from that of calsequestrin when cells were grown in standard medium, in medium containing 60 microM Ca2+ which prevented fusion of cells, or in enriched medium which delayed cell fusion. The high affinity calcium binding protein had a relatively high turnover rate with a half-life of about 10 h. These studies suggest that synthesis of calsequestrin and the high affinity calcium binding protein are coordinated even though calsequestrin is a glycoprotein, whereas the high affinity calcium binding protein is not glycosylated.

Several proteins in sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations move in a band with a mobility, in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0), corresponding to a molecular mass of about 55,000 daltons. Only one of these proteins is the high affinity calcium binding protein. An intrinsic glycoprotein is also present in this band, and it is this glycoprotein which is found in vesicles reconstituted after dissolution of sarcoplasmic reticulum in deoxycholate. Both of these proteins are found in rather constant ratios with the ATPase in light, intermediate, and heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. Transverse tubular vesicles can be isolated from the heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles after disruption of the membrane in a French pressure cell (Lau, Y.H., Caswell, A.H., and Brunschwig, J.P. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 5565-5574). These vesicles are enriched in their content of the high affinity calcium binding and depleted of the intrinsic glycoprotein. Cycloheptaamylose . fluorescamine complex (CFC) labels the intrinsic glycoprotein heavily indicating that it is at least partially exposed on the cytoplasmic surface of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. Since the carbohydrate component of the protein must lie in luminal spaces, it is inferred that the intrinsic glycoprotein is a transmembrane protein. The high affinity calcium binding protein is not labeled by CFC indicating that it is not exposed on the cytoplasmic surface of sarcotubular vesicles. The protein is also not affected by proteolytic digestion of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and can be isolated intact from trypsin-digested vesicles. It is not removed from sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles by washing with buffers containing Chelex 100 or ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). These data show that the high affinity calcium binding protein is localized in the interior of the sarcotubular system and suggest that it might be common to both sarcoplasmic reticulum and transverse tubular membranes.

We describe a new technique for immunohistochemical and enzyme-histochemical double staining using confocal laser scanning microscopy in the reflection mode. As an example, we investigated the immunoreactivity for Spot 35-calbindin-D28K, a vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein, and the enzyme activity for Ca(2+)-ATPase in the rat kidney. The lead precipitation method for Ca(2+)-ATPase was initially used to process kidney slices. Each specimen was then dehydrated and embedded in a water soluble resin. Thin sections were cut from the resin block, and an indirect immunocolloidal gold method with silver enhancement for Spot 35-calbindin-D28K antigen was carried out on the glass slides. Results were then observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy in the reflection mode. The three-dimensional distribution of the reaction products was detected by serial optic slice images. Lead phosphate particles, which represented the location of Ca(2+)-ATPase, were distributed deep in the section. The most intense signals from the silver particles were detected from the surface slice of the section. A stereoscopic image generated from the serial optic slices clearly showed the differences in their distribution.

Only in the duodenum and in the colon calcium is absorbed by a cellular 1,25 alpha-Vitamin D3-dependent transport mechanism. Calcium absorption is highest in the proximal large intestine, about ten times higher than in the duodenum or in the descending colon. 1,25 alpha-Vitamin D3 stimulates calcium transport by genomic (slow effect: synthesis of cytosolic calcium binding protein CabP and basolateral Ca-ATPase) and non-genomic action (rapid effect: transcaltachyia, liponomic effect at the brush border membrane). CabP-dependent translocation across the cytosol is thought to be rate limiting step of cellular calcium transport. However, only about 50% of calcium absorption is cellular mediated but the same amount of calcium convectively is absorbed by transepithelial water flow across the paracellular pathway (solvent drag effect). 1,25 alpha-Vitamin D3 not only activates cellular calcium absorption but also increases paracellular permeability for calcium by an unknown mechanism. However, essential steps in the cascade from the interaction of 1,25 alpha-Vitamin D3 with the specific receptor over the regulation of the synthesis of calcium binding and transporting proteins to the induction of cellular calcium transport are not as yet clearly understood. The exact feedback mechanism of synchronized calcium transport across the distinct subcellular compartments seems also to be resolved. Cellular calcium transport is not found in the jejunum or in the ileum, what can be explained by the absence of specific 1,25 alpha-Vitamin D3-dependent carrier systems in these segments. On the other hand calcium is secreted across the jejunum and ileum by an anomalous solvent drag effect. Hence, intestinal calcium metabolism seems to underlie an eneteroenteral circuit: 1,25 alpha-Vitamin D3-controlled cellular calcium absorption across the duodenum is followed by paracellular calcium secretion across the jejunum and ileum. The carrier in the proximal colon which works at the optimal level already under normal nutritional condition could be of physiological importance for the reclamation of unabsorbed dietary calcium and for the reabsorption of calcium that is secreted across the distal small intestine. Under certain pathophysiological conditions, i.e. malabsorption in proximal segments or malnutrition, calcium in addition may be conserved by the 1,25 alpha-Vitamin D3-sensitive carrier in the descending colon.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

When grown for seven days in a medium containing nerve growth factor (100 ng/ml), 10% horse serum and 5% fetal bovine serum PC12 cells stopped dividing, extended neurites and assumed a neuronal phenotype. Withdrawal of nerve growth factor from these cells resulted in loss of neurites and apoptotic changes in many cells. The apoptotic changes were exacerbated if the cells were also exposed to 1-2 microM S-100, a calcium binding protein purified from bovine brain. After exposure to S-100, the PC12 cells underwent characteristic apoptotic changes. Within 2 in neurites retracted, the cell body shrunk and submembranous accumulation of condensed cytoplasmic material was observed. DNA ladders were present after 24-48 h and 60% of the cells became hypodiploid after 72 h. S-100 induced apoptosis by binding to specific sites (Kd = 189 nM) on PC12 cells and this caused a rise in [Ca2+]i due to a transmembrane capacitative flux followed by the depletion of internal stores. This increase was reversed if 5 microM nifedipine, a specific L-type Ca2+ channel inhibitor, was added to the medium after S-100 and completely abolished if the cells were pretreated with 5 microM thapsigargin, an inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase. The presence of nerve growth factor in the culture medium completely blocked the apoptotic changes induced by S-100, probably due to interaction of nerve growth factor and S-100 at the same binding sites. These data indicate that nerve growth factor not only prevents apoptosis during cell development, but also apoptosis induced by endogenous substances such as S-100.

The calcium demands of pregnancy and lactation are known to up-regulate intestinal calcium absorption. Intestinal epithelial cells contain calcium ATPases and calcium binding proteins, which are believed to play important roles in intestinal calcium transport. However, the possible role of these two proteins in the up-regulation of intestinal calcium absorption observed in pregnancy and lactation is unknown. In this study, intestinal calcium ATPase (PMCA1), calcium binding protein (9K) (CaBP-9K), and vitamin D receptor (VDR) messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were determined by Northern analysis at different stages of pregnancy and early lactation in rats. Intestinal calcium ATPase and calcium binding protein mRNA levels did not differ significantly among nonpregnant rats and rats pregnant for 7 or 14 days. However, at 21 days gestation both calcium ATPase and calcium binding protein mRNA levels increased 2- to 3-fold. Calcium ATPase and calcium binding protein mRNA remained elevated at 7 days of lactation. Plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-D3) concentration exhibited a similar pattern, rising markedly at 21 days gestation and remaining elevated in lactation. VDR mRNA levels did not change during the entire experiment. However, intestinal VDR content increased 2-fold in late pregnancy and lactation. These data suggest that transcription of calcium absorption factors is increased in late gestation and early lactation, perhaps mediated by increased plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 concentrations, and that the effects of gestation and lactation on VDR concentrations are probably posttranscriptional.

Regulation of the trans-plasma membrane pH gradient is an important part of plant responses to several hormonal and environmental cues, including auxin, blue light, and fungal elicitors. However, little is known about the signaling components that mediate this regulation. Here, we report that an Arabidopsis thaliana Ser/Thr protein kinase, PKS5, is a negative regulator of the plasma membrane proton pump (PM H+ -ATPase). Loss-of-function pks5 mutant plants are more tolerant of high external pH due to extrusion of protons to the extracellular space. PKS5 phosphorylates the PM H+ -ATPase AHA2 at a novel site, Ser-931, in the C-terminal regulatory domain. Phosphorylation at this site inhibits interaction between the PM H+ -ATPase and an activating 14-3-3 protein in a yeast expression system. We show that PKS5 interacts with the calcium binding protein SCaBP1 and that high external pH can trigger an increase in the concentration of cytosolic-free calcium. These results suggest that PKS5 is part of a calcium-signaling pathway mediating PM H+ -ATPase regulation.

Over the last decades several efforts have been carried out to determine the mechanisms of salt homeostasis in plants and, more recently, to identify genes implicated in salt tolerance, with some plants being successfully genetically engineered to improve resistance to salt. It is well established that the efficient exclusion of Na(+) excess from the cytoplasm and vacuolar Na(+) accumulation are the most important steps towards the maintenance of ion homeostasis inside the cell. Therefore, the vacuole of plant cells plays a pivotal role in the storage of salt. After the identification of the vacuolar Na(+)/H(+) antiporter Nhx1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the first plant Na(+)/H(+) antiporter, AtNHX1, was isolated from Arabidopsis and its overexpression resulted in plants exhibiting increased salt tolerance. Also, the identification of the plasma membrane Na(+)/H(+) exchanger SOS1 and how it is regulated by a protein kinase SOS2 and a calcium binding protein SOS3 were great achievements in the understanding of plant salt resistance. Both tonoplast and plasma membrane antiporters exclude Na+ from the cytosol driven by the proton-motive force generated by the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase and by the vacuolar membrane H(+)-ATPase and H(+)-pyrophosphatase and it has been shown that the activity of these proteins responds to salinity. In this review we focus on the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation by salt of tonoplast proton pumps and Na(+)/H(+) exchangers and on the signalling pathways involved in salt sensing.
