Calcium transport into inverted vesicles of Escherichia coli was observed to occur without an exogenous energy source when an artificial proton gradient was used. The orientation of the proton gradient was acid inside and alkaline outside. Either phosphate or oxalate was necessary for transport, as was found for respiratory-driven or ATP-driven uptake (Tsuchiya, T., and Rosen, B.P. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 7687-7692). Phosphate accumulation was found to occur in conjunction with calcium accumulation. Calcium transport driven by an artificial proton gradient was stimulated by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, an inhibitor of the Mg2+ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3). Valinomycin, which catalyzes electrogenic potassium movement, stimulated calcium accumulation, while nigericin, which catalyzes electroneutral exchange of potassium and protons, inhibited both artificial proton gradient-driven transport and respiratory-driven transport. Other properties of the proton gradient-driven system and the previously reported energy-linked calcium transport system are similar, indicating that calcium is transported by the same carrier whether energy is supplied through an artificial proton gradient or an energized membrane state. These results suggest the existence of a calcium/proton antiport.

Ca2+ is a powerful inhibitor (Ki is congruent to 16 muM) of basal and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)-stimulated adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing); EC 4.6.1.1] activity in membranes obtained from homogenized human platelets. Ca2+ (but not the ionophore A23,187) decreased V(max) of the reaction without an effect on the Ks for ATP. Neither ATP nor PGE1 affected Ki for Ca2+. In intact platelets A23,187 induced Ca2+ influx and markedly inhibited PGE1-stimulated rise in adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels. Guanylate cyclase [GTP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing); EC 4.6.1.2] activity was mainly found in the soluble fraction (greater than 90%). Both soluble and membrane bound enzymes were stimulated by Mn2+ and Ca2+ and inhibited by Zn2+. Adenylate and guanylate cyclase activity were both present in a membrane fraction cyclase activity were both present in a membrane fraction which contained Ca2+ activated ATPase activity, and accumulated Ca2+ from the medium in the presence of ATP and oxalate. Other evidence indicates that these membranes originated in large part from the dense tubular system of the platelets. It is proposed that concurrent inhibition of adenylate cyclase and stimulation of guanylate cyclase facilitates the direct initiating effect of Ca2+ on platelet secretion and aggregation.

The procedure for the isolation of the highly active fraction of sarcoplasmic reticulum from pigeon and dog hearts is described. The method is based on the partial loading of heart microsomes with calcium and oxalate ions and the precipitation of loaded vesicles in sucrose and potassium chloride concentration gradients. Preparations obtained possess high activity of Ca2+-dependent ATPase and are also able to accumulate up to 10 mumol Ca2+ per mg protein. Purification of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes is accompanied by a decrease in concentration of cytochrome a+a3 and an increase in the content of [32P]phosphoenzyme. The basic components in "calcium-oxalate preparation" from hearts are proteins with molecular weights of about 100000 (Ca2+-dependent ATPase) and 55000 Calcium-oxalate preparation from pigeon hearts was used for subsequent purification of Ca2+-dependent ATPase. Specific activity of purified enzyme from pigeon hearts is 12-16 mumol Pi/min per mg protein. Enzyme activity of purified Ca2+-dependent ATPase is inhibited by EGTA and is not sensitive to azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol and ouabain. The data obtained demonstrate the similarity of calcium pump systems and Ca2+-dependent ATPases isolated from heart and skeletal muscles.

The effects of acid on fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit white skeletal muscle have been studied. Brief exposure of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes to pH values in the range 5.5 to 6.0 at 37 degrees caused rapid inactivation of calcium accumulation measured at 25 degrees in the presence of oxalate (calcium uptake) while (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity was enhanced by 75%. ATPase activity, measured at 37 degrees in the absence of oxalate and in the calcium steady state, was unaltered when calcium uptake was inactivated. Calcium efflux from sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, previously loaded passibely with 45CaCl2, was only slightly increased when calcium uptake was abolished. At still lower pH values, 5.0 to 5.5, (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase was inactivated while Mg2+ ATPase was more acid-resistant. Acid inactivation of calcium uptake followed simple first order kinetics for at least 80% of the time course. The rate constant, k, increased from 0.043 min-1 to 1.63 min-1 between pH 6.50 and pH 5.35. At pH 4.65, Ea, the energy of activation, was 31 kcal mol-1 between 24 degrees and 43 degrees. Inactivation, once initiated, was irreversible. Aged suspensions of sarcoplasmic reticulum were more sensitive to acid inactivation. Ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid enhanced inactivation, and calcium specifically protected against inactivation with half-maximal effect at 1 to 2 mM. The sulfhydryl reagent, dithiothreitol (1 mM), caused significantly increased rates of inactivation. Calcium binding was studied by dual wavelength spectrophotometry and stopped flow analysis. Acid inactivation distinguished two ATP-induced binding sites, previously described (Entman, M. L., Snow, T. R., Freed, D., and Schwartz, A. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 7762-7772) as a superficial Mg2+-independent Site A which binds and releases calcium rapidly and a deeper Mg2+-dependent Site B which binds and releases calcium more slowly. Rates of binding to both sites were decreased by acid inactivation. Binding of calcium to Site A increased, however, from 4.6 to 6.4 nmol mg of protein-1 whereas that to Site B decreased from 17.0 to 6.9 nmol mg of protein-1. Passive binding of calcium to sites of medium affinity (K = 7 X 10(4) M-1) was unaffected by acid inactivation of calcium uptake. Temperature dependence of (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase was unchanged in the range 9-34 degrees. Above 34 degrees, the higher activation energy process (Ealpha = 33.7 kcal mol-1) observed in control sarcoplasmic reticulum and thought to arise from a conformational change in the ATPase (Inesi, G., Millman, M., and Eletr, S. (1973) J. Mol. Biol. 81, 483-504) was diminished by acid inactivation (Ealpha = 8.2 kcal mol-1) in a manner suggesting that it is related to active calcium transport. The ATP in equilibrium 32Pi exchange reaction was diminished by acid, but 25% of the activity remained when calcium uptake was completely abolished...

The localization of alkaline phosphatases in dentinogenically active rat incisor odontoblasts was studied by means of subcellular fractionation and electron microscopical histochemistry. Subcellular fractionation revealed the predominant phosphatase activity to be present in the microsome fraction and to a lesser extent in the mitochondrial fraction. Adenosine triphosphate degrading enzyme activity was determined in the presence or absence of (+/-)-6(m-bromophenyl)-5, 6-dihydroimidazo(le) (2,1-b) thiazole oxalate (R 8231). Before the histochemical study, the effects on phosphatase activities by aldehyde fixation were studied by biochemical assay. A method of fixation for optimal preservation of phosphatase activity is presented. Phosphatase electron microscopic histochemistry was performed by using ATP as a substrate and with or without addition of the inhibitor R 82319 Precipitates were seen in the membranes of vesicles present in the odontoblast process and the Golgi region. When there were signs of insufficient fixation, precipitates were also seen in the outer membranes of mitochondria. No phosphatase activity was seen in the cell membrane. ATP degrading enzyme activities mediated by nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (APase) and Ca2+ -adenosine triphosphatase thus have the same morphological localization. This close association is consistent with earlier biochemical studies.

Continuous sucrose density gradient subfractions from bovine adrenal medullary microsomes were found to accumulate 45-Ca-2+ in the presence of ATP and ammonium oxalate mainly in subfractions of intermediate density. (Na-++K-+)-ATPase (plasma membrane marker) and Ca-2+-ATPase activities were also concentrated in these intermediate subfractions but thiamine pyrophosphatase (Golgi apparatus marker) was not. NADH oxidase (endoplasmic reticulum marker) activity was distributed throughout all subfractions. 45-Ca-2+ accumulation in adrenal cortical microsomes was found to rise and fall in parallel with thiamine pyrophosphatase but not with (Na-++K-+)-ATPase or NADH oxidase activities. Accumulation of 45-Ca-2+ in membrane vesicles in these experiments suggests the existence of a calcium transfer mechanism in plasma membranes of the adrenal medulla but not adrenal cortex.

1. ATP-dependent calcium uptake by a rabbit brain vesicular fraction (microsomes) was studied in the presence of phosphate or oxalate. These anions, which are known to form insoluble calcium salts, increased the rate of calcium uptake and the capacity of the vesicles for calcium accumulation. 2. The degree of activation depended on the concentration of phosphate or oxalate. Under optimal conditions, phosphate promoted a 5-fold increase in the amount of calcium stored at steady state. This level was 200-250 nmol Ca-2+/mg protein. 3. Initial rate of calcium uptake followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with an apparent Km for calcium of 6.7-10-minus 5 M and a V of 44 nmol/min per mg protein. Optimal pH was 7.0. With 2 mM ATP, optimal Mg-2+ concentration was 2 mM. 4. Dintrophenol and NaN3 inhibited calcium uptake in a mitochondria-enriched fraction but not in the microsomal fraction. 5. Calcium uptake activity was compared in the six subfractions prepared from the whole microsomal fraction by means of a sucrose density gradient fractionation. 6. The Mg-2+-dependent ATPase activity of brain microsomes was activated by calcium. Maximal activation was attained with 100 muM CaCl2. Greater calcium concentrations caused a progressive inhibition. 7. The data suggest that the ATP-dependent calcium uptake in brain microsomes, as in muscle microsomes, is brought about by an active transport process, calcium being accumulated as a free ion inside the vesicles.

Because it is generally agreed that the sarcoplasmic reticulum plays an important role in regulating the intracellular availability of Ca2+, the ability of rat microsomal fractions to accumulate Ca2+ was compared with that of microsomal fractions similarly prepared from guinea pig heart muscle. Despite a relatively high level of basic ATPase enzyme activity (19.2 +/- 2.6 muM Pi/mg of microsomal protein/10 min) rat microsomal fractions consistently accumulated significantly (p less than 0.001) less Ca2+ than did the guinea pig preparations, irrespective of whether the incubation medium contained oxalate. The microsomal yield obtained from the rat hearts was not significantly different (p less than 0.8) from that obtained for guinea pig heart muscle. Rat mitochondria similarly accumulated significantly less Ca2+ than did the guinea pig mitochondria. These observations substantiate a general hypothesis that rat heart cells may possess a relatively high intracellular concentration of free Ca.

A rapid mixing technique was used to investigate the effects of Ca2+ ion on the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. "Basic" ATPase measured in the absence of Ca2+ showed an initial burst of inorganic phosphate production. Similarities in the transient state kinetic properties of basic and "extra" or Ca2+-dependent ATPase suggest that the two activities represent a single enzyme species. At low concentrations of Ca2+ (less than 10(-6) M) the time course of the partial reactions of extra ATPase appeared to fit a simple scheme in which the acid-stable, phosphorylated enzyme (E approximately P) breaks down directly to inorganic phosphate and free enzyme. A similar mechanism seemed to apply to moderate levels of ATP and high external concentrations of Ca2+ known to inhibit transport activity. In the intermediate range of Ca2+ concentrations inorganic phosphate production was resolved into two phases consisting of a fast initial rate (burst) and slow steady state. Acid-stable phosphorylated protein showed a transient decay which coincided with the appearance of the burst. This behavior is consistent with a scheme in which E approximately P breaks down to an acid-labile or noncovalent intermediate state (E-P). A slow secondary increase in phosphorylation followed the transient decay in E approximately P. This late phase of protein labeling was eliminated following pretreatment with Triton X-100, sodium oxalate, or diethyl ether which decrease or prevent the formation of a transport gradient. An analysis of the dependence of the steady state level of phosphorylation and rate of inorganic phosphate production on Ca2+ concentration indicated that the phosphorylation mechanism involves interaction of two Ca2+ ions with the enzymatic carrier. The pathway by which E approximately P breaks down, i.e. whether it goes to E + Pi or E-P, may depend on the extent to which these sites are occupied by Ca2+. The transport of Ca2+ is discussed in terms of a flip-flop mechanism in which E approximately P and E-P represent high and low affinity Ca2+ binding states occurring in separate halves of an enzyme dimer.

Recovery of calcium transport and calcium-activated ATPase activity was studied in relation to the retention of protein components in sarcoplasmic reticulum reconstituted after solubilization with deoxycholate and centrifugation, followed by removal of the detergent from the supernatant by dialysis. Control sarcoplasmic reticulum was similarly treated except for omission of deoxycholate. Maximum capacity for oxalate- and phosphate-supported calcium uptake was increased 2- to 3-fold in reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum compared to original and control. Calcium uptake velocity of the reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum was approximately 80% that of original and 90% of control sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium uptake/ATP hydrolysis ratio was approximately 2 in the original sarcoplasmic reticulum and decreased to approximately 1 in the control and reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium storage in the absence of calcium-precipitating anion was approximately 85% in control and 70% in reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum, compared to the original sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid-induced calcium release after phosphate-supported calcium uptake was slower in reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum than in original or control sarcoplasmic reticulum. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of original and control sarcoplasmic reticulum showed similar amounts of protein components of approximately 93,000, 59,000, 50,000, 30,000 to 37,000, and 20,000 to 26,000 daltons. Reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum, however, lost over 85% of the 50,000- and 20,000- to 26,000-dalton proteins while retaining most of its calcium transport functions.
