Effect of micromolar concentrations of manganese ions on calcium-ion cycling in rat liver mitochondria.


ABSTRACT: The effects of micromolar concentrations of Mn2+ on the rat liver mitochondrial Ca2+ cycle were investigated. It was found that the addition of Mn2+ to mitochondria which were cycling 45Ca2+ led to a rapid dose dependent decrease in the concentration of extramitochondrial 45Ca2+ of about 1 nmol/mg of protein. The effect was complete within 30 s, was half maximal with 10 microM Mn2+ and was observed in the presence of 3 mM Mg2+ and 1 mM ATP. It occurred over a broad range of incubation temperatures, pH and mitochondrial Ca2+ loads. It was not observed when either Mg2+ or phosphate was absent from the incubation medium, or in the presence of Ruthenium Red. These findings indicate that micromolar concentrations of Mn2+ stimulate the uptake of Ca2+ by rat liver mitochondria, and provide evidence for an interaction between Mg2+ and Mn2+ in the control of mitochondrial Ca2+ cycling.
