  • Title: [Energy-dependent redistribution of a lipophilic anion in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and Ca2-ATPase molecules].

    Abstract:
    The distribution of lipophilic anion of phenyldicarbaundecarborane (PCB-) between water phase and fragments of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) from skeletal muscle was studied, using a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) as a selective electrode. Addition of ATP leads to an increase in PCB- binding to SR vesicles. The ATP effect is totally reversible only in the presence of both EGTA and A23187. Chlorides, in contrast with oxalate and phosphate, do not reduce the ATP-dependent PCB- binding. Oxalate decreases also the energy-dependent extrusion of protons from SR into the medium. Preliminary incubation of SR fragments with calcium gluconate leads to a decrease in PCB- binding. Addition of ATP to purified Ca2+-ATPase is coupled with a release of PCB- and calcium from the enzyme. It is suggested that ATP-dependent binding of PCB- to SR membranes reflects calcium incorporation into the hydrophobic region of Ca2+-ATPase molecules.
