Antibodies against erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase specifically inhibit the calmodulin-dependent fraction of the enzyme's activity.

ABSTRACT: Antibodies against purified Ca2+-transport ATPase from human erythrocytes were raised in rabbits. Immunodiffusion experiments revealed that precipitating antibodies had been developed. The immunoglobulin fraction inhibited solely the calmodulin-dependent fraction of erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase activity, whereas the basal (in the absence of added calmodulin) activity of the enzyme was not significantly affected by the antibodies. The antibodies produced similar doseresponse curves for the calmodulin- and the oleic acid-stimulated enzyme. However, the immunoglobulin fraction was considerably less effective in inhibiting Ca2+-transport ATPase activated by limited proteolysis. The results obtained with our antibodies are compatible with the interpretation that at least one subpopulation of the antibodies attacks the enzyme at or close to the calmodulin-binding site of the ATPase. The antibodies also inhibited the calmodulin-regulated Ca2+-transport ATPase from pig smooth-muscle plasma membrane, though with lower potency. However, the immunoglobulin fraction failed to suppress pig cardiac sarcoplasmicreticulum Ca2+-transport ATPase activity in the concentration range investigated. In addition, the activity of phosphodiesterase from rat brain, another enzyme modulated by calmodulin, was not at all affected by the immunoglobulin fraction.

Antibodies against the non-muscle isoform of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-transport ATPase.

Project description:We report here the production of a polyclonal antiserum which specifically recognizes an epitope confined to the ultimate 12-residue-long C-terminus of an alternatively spliced transcript of gene 2 encoding the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump in slow skeletal and cardiac muscle. This alternatively spliced transcript was shown to be mainly represented in non-muscle tissues. These antibodies have enabled us to show the presence of the unique C-terminus of this type of Ca2+ pump, as predicted from the cDNA sequence, in the endoplasmic reticulum of vascular and gastric smooth muscle, liver and kidney.

Large-scale isolation of human erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase.

Project description:A rapid procedure for preparing large quantities of purified erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase is presented. The method involves: (1) fast preparation of calmodulin-deficient, essentially haemoglobin-free, erythrocyte membranes by molecular filtration using Pellicon filters; (2) solubilization of membrane proteins by deoxycholate; and (3) a batch procedure using calmodulin-Sepharose 4B gel for purification of Ca2+-transport ATPase.

A model for the regulation of the calmodulin-dependent enzymes erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase and brain phosphodiesterase by activators and inhibitors.

Project description:Acidic phospholipids, unsaturated fatty acids and limited proteolysis mimic the activating effect of calmodulin on erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase and on brain cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, as has been reported previously in several studies. Three different antagonists of calmodulin-induced activation of these enzymes were tested for their inhibitory potency on the stimulation produced by the other activators. Trifluoperazine and penfluridol were found to antagonize all the above mentioned types of activation of Ca2+-transport ATPase in the same concentration range. Both inhibitors also can reverse the activation of phosphodiesterase by oleic acid, phosphatidylserine and calmodulin at similar concentrations. However, in contrast with erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase, activation of phosphodiesterase by limited tryptic digestion cannot be antagonized by penfluridol and trifluoperazine. Calmidazolium, formerly referred to as compound R 24571, was found to be a relatively specific inhibitor of calmodulin-induced activation of phosphodiesterase and Ca2+-transport ATPase, since antagonism of the other activators required much higher concentrations of the drug. The results suggest that the investigated drugs exert their inhibitory effect on calmodulin-regulated enzymes not solely via their binding to calmodulin but may also interfere directly with the calmodulin effector enzyme. In addition, a general mechanism of activation and inhibition of calmodulin-dependent enzymes is derived from our results.

A protein activator of Mg2+-dependent, Ca2+-stimulated ATPase in human erythrocyte membranes distinct from calmodulin.

Project description:Treatment of extensively washed erythrocyte membranes with 0.1mm-EDTA decreased their Mg(2+)-dependent, Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase [(Mg(2+)+Ca(2+))-ATPase] activity. An activator released by this treatment restored the (Mg(2+)+Ca(2+))-ATPase to its original value in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. This activator was different from calmodulin, as determined by a number of criteria. It was retained on an Amicon XM-100 ultrafiltration membrane (molecular-weight cut-off 100000); it appeared in the void volume of Sephadex G-100 and G-75 columns; it was not retained on a DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange column at ionic strengths similar to those used to retain calmodulin; and it maximally activated (Mg(2+)+Ca(2+))-ATPase activity less than calmodulin and at a higher Ca(2+) concentration. Like calmodulin, the activator is heat-stable. The activator fraction isolated on a 2.5-15% sucrose gradient in 0.16m-KCl showed a single band of mol.wt. 63000 and no calmodulin on 10%-polyacrylamide/sodium dodecyl sulphate gels. A trace amount of calmodulin was detected in the activator fraction by radioimmunoassay (approx. 10pg/ml of ;ghosts'), but this amount was insufficient to account for the (Mg(2+)+Ca(2+))-ATPase activation. Furthermore, calmodulin-binding protein failed to inhibit (Mg(2+)+Ca(2+))-ATPase activity by more than 10-20% in the membrane preparations from which the activator was extracted. It was concluded that erythrocyte membranes contain a (Mg(2+)+Ca(2+))-ATPase activator that may attenuate the activation of the Ca(2+)-transport ATPase by calmodulin.

Coefficients for active transport and thermogenesis of Ca2+-ATPase isoforms.

Project description:Coefficients for active transport of ions and heat in vesicles with Ca(2+)-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum are defined in terms of a newly proposed thermodynamic theory and calculated using experiments reported in the literature. The coefficients characterize in a quantitative manner different performances of the enzyme isoforms. Four enzyme isoforms are examined, namely from white and red muscle tissue, from blood platelets, and from brown adipose mitochondria. The results indicate that the isoforms have a somewhat specialized function. White muscle tissue and brown adipose tissue have the same active transport coefficient ratio, but the activity level of the enzyme in white muscle is higher than in brown adipose tissue. The thermogenesis ratio is high in both white muscle and brown adipose tissue, in agreement with a specific role in nonshivering thermogenesis. Other isoforms do not have this ability to generate heat. A calcium-dependence of the coefficients is found, which can be understood as being in accordance with the role of this ion as a messenger in muscle contraction as well as in thermogenesis. The investigation points to new experiments related to structure as well as to function of the isoforms.

Ca2+-Calmodulin regulates SNARE assembly and spontaneous neurotransmitter release via v-ATPase subunit V0a1.

Project description:Most chemical neurotransmission occurs through Ca(2+)-dependent evoked or spontaneous vesicle exocytosis. In both cases, Ca(2+) sensing is thought to occur shortly before exocytosis. In this paper, we provide evidence that the Ca(2+) dependence of spontaneous vesicle release may partly result from an earlier requirement of Ca(2+) for the assembly of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes. We show that the neuronal vacuolar-type H(+)-adenosine triphosphatase V0 subunit a1 (V100) can regulate the formation of SNARE complexes in a Ca(2+)-Calmodulin (CaM)-dependent manner. Ca(2+)-CaM regulation of V100 is not required for vesicle acidification. Specific disruption of the Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of V100 by CaM led to a >90% loss of spontaneous release but only had a mild effect on evoked release at Drosophila melanogaster embryo neuromuscular junctions. Our data suggest that Ca(2+)-CaM regulation of V100 may control SNARE complex assembly for a subset of synaptic vesicles that sustain spontaneous release.

Effects of Ca2+, Mg2+ and calmodulin on the formation and decomposition of the phosphorylated intermediate of the erythrocyte Ca2+-stimulated ATPase.

Project description:Formation of the phosphorylated intermediate (ECaP) of the human erythrocyte Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase) was more rapid and reached steady state sooner at 400 microM-Ca2+ than at 1 microM-Ca2+. Calmodulin increased the apparent rate of ECaP formation at 1 microM-Ca2+, whereas at 400 microM-Ca2+, calmodulin decreased the steady-state level of the ECaP without affecting its apparent rate of formation. Removal of endogenous Mg2+ with trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-NNN'N'-tetra-acetic acid, which decreased both the velocity and Ca2+-sensitivity of the Ca2+-ATPase, did not alter the Ca2+-sensitivity or the apparent rate of formation of ECaP. ECaP formation at high Ca2+ concentrations was not affected by Mg2+ concentrations as high as 1 mM, and the ECaP could be dephosphorylated by ADP and ATP along either the forward or reverse pathways. The results suggest that high Ca2+ concentrations inhibit Ca2+-ATPase activity by preventing dephosphorylation of the E2P complex, rather than by inhibition of the transformation from E1CaP ('high-Ca2+-affinity' ECaP) to E2CaP ('lower-energy' ECaP).

Single-molecule dynamics of the calcium-dependent activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin.

Project description:The plasma membrane calcium-ATPase (PMCA) helps to control cytosolic calcium levels by pumping out excess Ca2+. PMCA is regulated by the Ca2+ signaling protein calmodulin (CaM), which stimulates PMCA activity by binding to an autoinhibitory domain of PMCA. We used single-molecule polarization methods to investigate the mechanism of regulation of the PMCA by CaM fluorescently labeled with tetramethylrhodamine. The orientational mobility of PMCA-CaM complexes was determined from the extent of modulation of single-molecule fluorescence upon excitation with a rotating polarization. At a high Ca2+ concentration, the distribution of modulation depths reveals that CaM bound to PMCA is orientationally mobile, as expected for a dissociated autoinhibitory domain of PMCA. In contrast, at a reduced Ca2+ concentration a population of PMCA-CaM complexes appears with significantly reduced orientational mobility. This population can be attributed to PMCA-CaM complexes in which the autoinhibitory domain is not dissociated, and thus the PMCA is inactive. The presence of these complexes demonstrates the inadequacy of a two-state model of Ca2+ pump activation and suggests a regulatory role for the low-mobility state of the complex. When ATP is present, only the high-mobility state is detected, revealing an altered interaction between the autoinhibitory and nucleotide-binding domains.

Fluorescent Ca2+ indicators directly inhibit the Na,K-ATPase and disrupt cellular functions.

Project description:Fluorescent Ca2+ indicators have been essential for the analysis of Ca2+ signaling events in various cell types. We showed that chemical Ca2+ indicators, but not a genetically encoded Ca2+ indicator, potently suppressed the activity of Na+- and K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase), independently of their Ca2+ chelating activity. Loading of commonly used Ca2+ indicators, including Fluo-4 acetoxymethyl (AM), Rhod-2 AM, and Fura-2 AM, and of the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA AM into cultured mouse or human neurons, astrocytes, cardiomyocytes, or kidney proximal tubule epithelial cells suppressed Na,K-ATPase activity by 30 to 80%. Ca2+ indicators also suppressed the agonist-induced activation of the Na,K-ATPase, altered metabolic status, and caused a dose-dependent loss of cell viability. Loading of Ca2+ indicators into mice, which is carried out for two-photon imaging, markedly altered brain extracellular concentrations of K+ and ATP. These results suggest that a critical review of data obtained with chemical Ca2+ indicators may be necessary.

Ca2+-dependent calmodulin binding to FcRn affects immunoglobulin G transport in the transcytotic pathway.

Project description:The Fcgamma receptor FcRn transports immunoglobulin G (IgG) so as to avoid lysosomal degradation and to carry it bidirectionally across epithelial barriers to affect mucosal immunity. Here, we identify a calmodulin-binding site within the FcRn cytoplasmic tail that affects FcRn trafficking. Calmodulin binding to the FcRn tail is direct, calcium-dependent, reversible, and specific to residues comprising a putative short amphipathic alpha-helix immediately adjacent to the membrane. FcRn mutants with single residue substitutions in this motif, or FcRn mutants lacking the cytoplasmic tail completely, exhibit a shorter half-life and attenuated transcytosis. Chemical inhibitors of calmodulin phenocopy the mutant FcRn defect in transcytosis. These results suggest a novel mechanism for regulation of IgG transport by calmodulin-dependent sorting of FcRn and its cargo away from a degradative pathway and into a bidirectional transcytotic route.
