Abstract
The microsomal fraction isolated from dog mesenteric nerve fibres was found to contain ATPase activity stimulated by micromolar concentrations of Ca ions. Such a high-affinity Ca2+-ATPase (hereafter referred to as HA Ca-ATPase) followed a Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Km for Ca ions of 0.4 μM and Vmax=12.5±2.4 μmol Pi.mg−1h−1. The examination of the subcellular origin of HA Ca-ATPase revealed that this enzyme is associated with axonal plasma membranes as documented by its co-purification with several plasma membrane marker enzymes and with tetrodotoxin-sensitive3H-saxitoxin binding. The addition of exogenous magnesium ions (Mg) resulted in a non-competitive inhibition of HA Ca-ATPase with Ki=0.5 mM. The reaction velocity of HA Ca-ATPase was also inhibited by other divalent ions with the order of potency Mg>Mn >Zn≥Co>Ni. In contrast to low affinity (high Km) Mg- and Ca-ATPase, the HA Ca-ATPase was insensitive to the inhibition by sodium azide (10 mM) and sodium fluoride (10 mM). Similarly, the specific activity of HA Ca-ATPase was unaffected by vanadate (100 μM) and N-ethylmaleinimide (100 μM). It is concluded that axonal plasma membranes of dog mesenteric nerves contain HA Ca-ATPase which seems to be unrelated to calcium-transporting Mg-dependent, Ca-stimulated ATPase.Keywords
