[Effect of the membrane potential on the Mg2+,ATP-dependent transport of Ca2+ across smooth muscle sarcolemma]. 1990

L G Babich, and V P Fomin, and S A Kosterin

The effect of the membrane potential (K(+)-valinomycin system) on the Mg2+, ATP-dependent transport of Ca2+ in inside-out vesicles of myometrium sarcolemma has been studied. The membrane potential was identified by using a cyanine potential-sensitive probe, diS-C3-(5). In the presence of valinomycin (5.10(-8) M) the inside-out directed K+ gradient (delta psi = -86 mV, with a negative charge inside) stimulated the initial rate of the energy-dependent accumulation of Ca2+ transfer whereas the oppositely directed K+ gradient (delta psi = +72 mV, with a positive charge inside) had no effect on this process. The K+ gradient was formed by isotonic substitution of K+ in intra- or extravesicular space for choline +. At the same time, in the absence of K+ gradient the Mg2+, ATP-dependent accumulation of Ca2+ in membrane vesicles did not depend on the chemical nature of the cations (K+ or choline+) used for isotonicity. The decrease of delta psi from 0 to -86 mV affects the initial rate of Ca2+ accumulation but not the maximal content of the accumulated cation. Preliminary dissipation of the membrane potential (delta psi = -86 mV) in Mg2(+)-free isotonic (with respect of K+ and choline+) media containing ATP and Ca2+ resulted in the inhibition of Mg2+, ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport induced by subsequent addition of Mg2+. These results indicate that the negative (intravesicular) electrical potential activates the Ca-pump of smooth muscle sarcolemma. This activation is based on the increase in the turnover number of the Ca2+ transporting system but not on its affinity for the transfer substrate. The use of the absolute reaction rates theory made it possible to establish that the Ca-pump effectuates the transport of a single positive charge in inside-out vesicles of smooth muscle plasma membranes, i.e., the energy-dependent transport of Ca2+ occurs either as a symport (with an anion (Cl-) or an antiport with a monovalent cation (K+) or a proton. It is assumed that the potential dependence of the Ca-pump in the smooth muscle plasma membrane plays a role in the realization of effects of mediators and physiologically active substances that are manifested as stimulation of the contractile response and depolarization of the sarcolemma. In is quite probable that the delta psi-dependent Ca-pump is also responsible for the maintenance of intracellular homeostasis of monovalent cations (K+, H+, Cl-) in smooth muscle tissues.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
