Evidence for direct involvement of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+‐ATPase in a passive monovalent cation (K+/Na+) exchange

Abstract: A specific inhibitor of SERCA-pumps, thapsigargin (TG) was used to demonstrate the direct involvement of the SR Ca2+-ATPase in passive K+/Na + exchange. The K+-potential variations across vesicle membranes were measured in the absence of ATP with a fluorescent probe: 3,3'-dipropylthiodicarbocyanine iodide. Addition of EGTA dissipates the K÷-potential whereas the presence of TG abolishes this effect. Our data prove that the CaZ+-ATPase translocates monovalent cations at a rate similar to the E2-~Et conformation… Show more

“…The long tail exhibited by the current transients in Fig. 9 for K 1 concentrations $150 mM can be tentatively explained by an uncoupled downhill K 1 translocation due to a carrier-like pump operation, as proposed by Dupont and co-workers (Moutin and Dupont, 1991;de Jesus et al, 1995); in the presence of Ca 21 , this passive transport may only be observed at relatively high K 1 concentrations.…”

“…Thus, it increases the rate of dephosphorylation of the P-E 2 form of Ca-ATPase (Shigekawa and Pearl, 1976;Chaloub and de Meis, 1980) and accelerates both the Ca 21 binding and dissociation in the absence of ATP (Moutin and Dupont, 1991;Orlowski and Champeil, 1991;Lee et al, 1995), suggesting that it increases the rate of the E 2 -E 1 transition. Moreover, it has been proposed that Ca-ATPase catalyzes passive transport of K 1 when the protein is switched to its E 2 conformational state (Moutin and Dupont, 1991;de Jesus et al, 1995). Lee et al (1995) interpreted the effect of K 1 on the binding of Ca 21 to Ca-ATPase by proposing the binding of K 1 to a ''gating'' site, in competition with Mg 21 and H 1 , where it affects the affinity of the calcium pump for Ca 21 ; they also postulated the binding of K 1 to the inner Ca 21 binding site, but not to the outer one.…”
