[cAMP-dependent phosphorylation inhibits potential-dependent passive transport of Ca2+ in myometrial sarcolemma...

It is established that Ca2+ transport from the predominantly inverted vesicles of pig myometrium sarcolemma depends on the value of the membrane potential which is created on vesicles by the K+-valinomycin system. It is shown that variations in the membrane potential from -60 to +30 mV cause acceleration of the calcium transport from the vesicles, the maximal transport being observed at delta psi from 0 up to +30 mV. The endogenic and exogenic cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of plasma membrane proteins inhibits the passive transport of calcium at all the membrane potential values studied. A degree of potential-dependent Ca2+ transport inhibition correlates with the value of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of sarcolemma proteins.
