title: Ca(2+) and H+ homeostasis in fission yeast: a role of Ca(2+)/H+ exchange and distinct V-H+-ATPases of the secretory pathway organelles.
abstract: We determined the H+ and Ca(2+) uptake by fission yeast membranes separated on sucrose gradient and found that (i) Ca(2+) sequestering is due to Ca(2+)/H+ antiporter(s) localized to secretory pathway organelles while Ca(2+)-ATPase activity is not detectable in their membranes; (ii) immunochemically distinct V-H+-ATPases acidify the lumen of the secretory pathway organelles. The data indicate that the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and vacuole form a network of Ca(2+) and H+ stores in the single cell, providing favorable conditions for such key processes as protein folding/sorting, membrane fusion, ion homeostasis and Ca(2+) signaling in a differential and local manner.
