We studied the molecular mechanism of noradrenaline release from the presynaptic terminal and the involvement of the protein kinase C substrate B-50 (GAP-43) in this process. To gain access to the interior of the presynaptic terminal, we searched for conditions to permeate rat brain synaptosomes by the bacterial toxin streptolysin O. A crude synaptosomal/mitochondrial preparation was preloaded with [3H]noradrenaline. After permeation with 0.8 IU/ml streptolysin O, noradrenaline efflux could be induced in a concentration-dependent manner by elevating the free Ca2+ concentration from 10(-8) to 10(-5) M. Efflux of the cytosolic marker protein lactate dehydrogenase was not affected by this increase in Ca2+. Ca2(+)-induced efflux of noradrenaline was largely dependent on the presence of exogenous ATP. Changing the Na+/K+ ratio in the buffer did not affect Ca2(+)-induced noradrenaline release. Release of noradrenaline could also be evoked by phorbol esters, indicating the involvement of protein kinase C. Ca2(+)- and phorbol ester-induced release were not additive at higher phorbol ester concentrations (greater than 10(-7) M). We compared the sensitivities of Ca2(+)- and phorbol ester-induced release of noradrenaline to the protein kinase inhibitors H-7 and polymyxin B and to antibodies raised against synaptic protein kinase C substrate B-50. Ca2(+)-induced release was inhibited by B-50 antibodies and polymyxin B, but not by H-7; phorbol ester-induced release was inhibited by polymyxin B and by H-7, but only marginally by antibodies to B-50.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
