Inhibition by glucose and deoxyglucose of phosphatidylserine synthesis in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells: a possible relation to the Crabtree effect and depletion of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores.
Incorporation of [14C]serine into phosphatidylserine by the base exchange reaction in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells is inhibited by 30% by glucose and by 60% by 2-deoxyglucose (10 mM each). The inhibition by thapsigargin (0.2 microM) amounts to 80%. This inhibition is interpreted as being due to depletion of calcium stores in the endoplasmic reticulum and is compatible with the previous observation [Teplova, V. V., Bogucka, K., Czyz, A., Evtodienko, Yu.V., Duszyński, J., and Wojtczak, L. (1993) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 196, 1148-1154] that glucose and deoxyglucose elicit an increase of cytoplasmic [Ca2+] at the expense of intracellular Ca2+ stores and with the finding [Barańska, J. (1989) FEBS Lett. 256, 33-37] that the base exchange reaction requires high concentration of Ca2+ within the endoplasmic reticulum lumen.
