title: Kinetics of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by permeabilized rat enterocytes. Effects of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.
abstract: Isolated rat enterocytes were permeabilized by saponin treatment. 45Ca2+ was accumulated by these cells when provided with ATP in a medium containing Ca2+ ligands. The use of oxalate, vanadate and mitochondrial inhibitors indicated that both non-mitochondrial and mitochondrial pools are involved. Kinetic analysis of non-mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake revealed a Km of 0.1 microM Ca2+ and a Vmax of 0.4 nmol Ca2+/mg protein X min for this Ca2+-pumping ATPase activity. Mitochondria started to take up Ca2+ between 0.2 and 0.3 microM free Ca2+ reaching maximal rates around 2 microM. At 1 microM free Ca2+ mitochondria accumulated 20 times more Ca2+ than the non-mitochondrial pool. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate released 40% of the Ca2+ content of the non-mitochondrial pool. Half-maximal release was observed at 0.5 and 1.5 microM IP3 in duodenal and ileal cells respectively. These findings support the possibility that the phosphatidyl inositide metabolism plays a role in regulation of electrolyte transport in enterocytes.
