The biphasic Ca2+-uptake by the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum.

P Mermier, W Hasselbach

    Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung. Section C, Biosciences
    |September 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Kinetic studies reveal two phases of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The fast phase is rapid and exponential, while the slow phase exhibits autocatalytic properties.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Membrane Transport

    Background:

    • Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays a crucial role in muscle contraction by regulating intracellular calcium levels.
    • Understanding the kinetics of calcium uptake by the SR is essential for elucidating muscle function and dysfunction.
    • Previous studies have not fully resolved the distinct phases of ATP-dependent calcium uptake.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To kinetically characterize the two distinct phases of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
    • To investigate the differential requirements and sensitivities of the fast and slow uptake phases.
    • To discuss factors limiting the resolution of these two phases in prior research.

    Main Methods:

    • Non-equilibrium dialysis was employed for kinetic studies.
    • ATP-dependent calcium uptake by isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was measured.
    • Kinetic parameters, including half-life, amplitude, and rate, were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum exhibits two phases: a fast, exponential phase (half-life ~15-20 sec) and a slow, autocatalytic phase.
    • The fast phase is characterized by amplitude, while the slow phase is characterized by its rate.
    • The slow uptake phase requires higher Mg2+ or ATP concentrations and is more sensitive to pH variations and aging compared to the fast phase.

    Conclusions:

    • The fast calcium uptake phase is not a simple binding reaction.
    • The slow calcium uptake phase is more sensitive to alterations in the vesicular membrane.
    • Distinguishing these two phases provides deeper insights into sarcoplasmic reticulum function.
