The influence of calcium ions on the adsorption of glycolytic enzymes to cellular structure.
In order to provide information on the influence of Ca2+ ions on the adsorption of glycolytic enzymes to cellular structure, the release of these enzymes from digitonized cells has been studied. Increases in the calcium ion concentration were found to cause corresponding decreases in the extent of release of all the glycolytic enzymes, as well as a parallel increase in the extent of polymerization of actin. These observations have been discussed in relation to the effect of physiological concentrations of these ions on the association between glycolytic enzymes and the cytoskeleton.
