title: [The blocking effect of aliphatic hydrocarbons on Ca2+ leakage channels formed by aggregates of Ca2+-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum].
abstract: The effects of aliphatic hydrocarbons within the liposomes on the Ca2+ transport function of isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes of rabbit skeletal muscle, vesiculate preparation of Ca2+ dependent ATPase and proteoliposomes reconstituted from Ca2+-ATPase and egg phosphatidylcholine, were studied. It was shown that liposomes prepared from dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine containing aliphatic hydrocarbons increase 2 to 3 times Ca2+ accumulation by Ca2+-dependent ATPase from rabbit skeletal muscle SR. Ca2+ transport by SR vesicles increases in the presence of hydrocarbons by 15--20%. The activating effect of hydrocarbons on Ca2+ transport by proteoliposomes depends on the lipid/protein ratio. The proteoliposomes with a high lipid/protein ratio are practically insensitive to the effects of hydrocarbons. It was suggested that activation of Ca2+ transport by hydrocarbons is due to blocking of Ca2+ leakage channels formed during the aggregation of Ca2+-ATPase molecules. Treatment of membranes by formaldehyde results in the oligomerization of Ca2+-ATPase and decreases 2--4-fold the ATP-dependent accumulation of Ca2+. Subsequent addition of decane restores Ca2+ transport practically completely.
