Active uptake of Ca++ and Ca plus,plus-activated Mg++ ATPase in red cell membrane fragments. 1971

Y N Cha, and B C Shin, and K S Lee

Isolated human red blood cell membrane fragments (RBCMF) were found to take up Ca(++) in the presence of ATP.(1) This ATP-dependent Ca(++) uptake by RBCMF appears to be the manifestation of an active Ca(++) transport mechanism in the red cell membrane reported previously (Schatzmann, 1966; Lee and Shin, 1969). The influences of altering experimental conditions on Ca(++)-stimulated Mg(++) ATPase (Ca(++) ATPase) and Ca(++) uptake of RBCMF were studied. It was found that pretreatment of RBCMF at 50 degrees C abolished both Ca(++) ATPase and Ca(++) uptake. Pretreatment of RBCMF with phospholipases A and C decreased both Ca(++) ATPase and Ca(++) uptake, whereas pretreatment with phospholipase D did not significantly alter either Ca(++) ATPase or Ca(++) uptake. Both Ca(++) ATPase and Ca(++) uptake had ATP specificity, similar optimum pH's, and optimum incubation temperatures. From these results, it was concluded that Ca(++) uptake is intimately linked to Ca(++) ATPase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
