title: [Dependence of the inhibitory effect of metal cations on rat liver mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake on their physico-chemical properties].
abstract: It has been found that Sr2+, La3+ Mn2+ (10-50 microM) inhibit Ca2+ transport into mitochondria in a competitive manner. Cd2+ ions show the mixed type inhibition of this transport. The inhibitory constants (Ki, microM) of the metals cations effect on Ca2+ transport increases in such a sequence: La3+ (2,11), Cd2+ (10,36), Mn2+ (49,29), Sr2+ (66,43). The metals cations inhibitory effect has an insignificant dependence on their ionic radii. But it is good correlated with the series of metals cations, based on the stability constants of their complexes with acetate (r = -0.96), aspartic (r = -0.91) and glutaminic acids and their hydratation enthalpy (r = -0.78). These data reveal that hydratation of metals cations and their interaction with carboxyles of Ca(2+)-uniporter plays an important role in the process of Ca2+ transport into mitochondrial matrix space and its inhibition by the metals cations. The mixed type inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake by Cd2+ seems to be caused by the partial de-energization of mitochondria owing to Cd2+ interaction with SH-containing respiratory chain components and pore-forming ligands of mitochondrial membrane.
