title: Ca2+-dependent K+ permeability of heart sarcolemmal vesicles. Modulation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity and by calmodulin.
abstract: The Ca2+-dependent K+ permeability of heart sarcolemma vesicles was measured by following the transmembrane movement of the charge compensating tetraphenylborate anion. The increase in vesicles permeability induced by Ca2+ is lost when membrane proteins are dephosphorylated by an endogenous protein phosphatase and is restored by a phosphorylation process catalysed by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The calmodulin antagonist R 24571 lowers the Ca2+-dependent K+ permeability by decreasing the Ca2+ affinity of the K+ transporting system.
