The interaction of lanthanides with isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle.
The interaction of lanthanides with isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle and the effects of lanthanides on 45Ca2+ uptake by the vesicles were studied. 153Gd3+ was taken up by the vesicles in the absence of ATP and oxalate in a time-dependent manner, reaching a maximum total accumulation of 380 nmol 153Gd3+/mg protein after 20 min with 200 microM 153Gd3+. This 153Gd3+ accumulation was not washed out by 1 mM EGTA. The addition of ATP induced the release of 87% of the bound 153Gd3+, leaving behind irreversibly-accumulated 153Gd3+. Pre-incubation of the vesicles with lanthanides in the absence of ATP and oxalate inhibited 45Ca2+ uptake without affecting Ca2+-ATPase activity. The percent inhibition of 45Ca2+ uptake increased with length of pre-incubation of the vesicles with lanthanides, reaching 33% after 20 min of pre-incubation. Increasing the 45Ca2+ concentration or adding ATP or oxalate to the preincubation medium abolished these inhibitory effects on 45Ca2+ uptake.
