Similarity in calcium channel activity of annexin V and matrix vesicles in planar lipid bilayers.
Matrix vesicles (MVs), structures that accumulate Ca2+ during the initiation of mineral formation in growing bone, are rich in annexin V. When MVs are fused with planar phospholipid bilayers, a multiconductance Ca2+ channel is formed, with activity essentially identical to that observed when annexin V is delivered to the bilayer with phosphatidylserine liposomes. Ca2+ currents through this channel, from either MV or annexin V liposomes, are blocked by Zn2+, as is Ca2+ uptake by MV incubated in synthetic cartilage lymph. Blockage by Zn2+ was most effective when applied to the side containing the MV or liposomes. ATP and GTP differentially modulated the activity of this channel: ATP increased the amplitude of the current and the number of conductance states; GTP dramatically reduced the number of events and conductance states, leading to well-defined Ca2+ channel activity from either MV or the annexin V liposomes. In the distinctive effects of ATP, GTP, and Zn2+ on the Ca2+ channel activity observed in both the MV and the liposome systems, the common factor was the presence of annexin V. From this we conclude that Ca2+ entry into MV results from the presence of annexin V in these membrane-enclosed structures.
