[Passive Ca2+ permeability of vesicular sarcolemmal preparations from myocardium].
Vesicular preparations of sarcolemma isolated from rat myocardium possessed high ATPase (4.32 +/0 0.57 micromole/min per mg), adenylate cyclase (121 +/- 11 pmole/min per mg) and creatine kinase (1.74 +/- 0.35 micromole/min per mg) activities and a Na-Ca exchange activity specific for sodium. The ATPase activity was inhibited by digitoxigenin by 50-70% and was not changed by ouabain, EGTA, ionophore A23187 and oligomycin, thus showing the absence of mitochondrial and sarcoplasmic reticulum contaminations in the sarcolemmal preparations. The preparations consisted mostly of closed inside-out vesicles. The preparation was used to study the mechanism of Ca2+ penetration across the sarcolemmal membrane. For this purpose the vesicles were load with 45Ca2+, which relatively slowly diffused from the medium into the vesicles, and which was bound to the binding sites inside the vesicles (n = 20.5 +/- 4.6 nmoles per mg of protein, Kd approximately equal to 1.8 +/- 0.21 mM). The transmembrane movement of Ca2+ was demonstrated by the following findings: 1) the ionophore A23187 only insignificantly increased the total vesicular Ca2+ content, but strongly accelerated Ca2+ efflux from the vesicles along its concentration gradient; 2) gramicidin and osmotic shock caused a similar acceleration of Ca2+ efflux. Ca2+ efflux from these vesicles along Ca2+ concentration gradient was studied under conditions, when the extravesicular Ca2+ content was lowered due to its binding to EGTA and by dilution. The gradient of Ca2+ concentration was from 2.0 mM inside to approximately 0.1 micro M outside. The rate of 45Ca2+ efflux depended hyperbolically on the intravesicular Ca2+ efflux from the vesicles was inhibited by Mn2+, Co2+ and verapamil when they acted from the inside of the vesicles. An increase in ionophore A23187 concentration increased the efflux of Ca2+ hyperbolically and enhanced only the maximal rate of the efflux. It is concluded that the passive permeability of Ca2+ across the sarcolemmal membrane along its concentration gradient is controlled by Ca2+ binding to the membrane.
