Heavy metals induce rapid calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from skeletal muscle.
Micromolar concentrations of mercury, silver, and other reagents known to react with sulfhydryl groups are shown to stimulate ATPase activity and inhibit active calcium uptake in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles derived from rabbit fast skeletal muscle. These effects are caused by a dramatic increase in the calcium permeability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Measurements of Ca2+ permeability wer...
متن کاملCalcium dependence of inactivation of calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle fibers
The steady-state calcium dependence of inactivation of calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum was studied in voltage-clamped, cut segments of frog skeletal muscle fibers containing two calcium indicators, fura-2 and anti-pyrylazo III (AP III). Fura-2 fluorescence was used to monitor resting calcium and relatively small calcium transients during small depolarizations. AP III absorbance ...
متن کاملModulation by monovalent anions of calcium and caffeine induced calcium release from heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles.
Both calcium and caffeine induced calcium release from actively loaded heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were studied to analyze the dependence of both activities on the composition of the release medium with respect to monovalent anions. Calcium is unable to induce net calcium release while caffeine remains effective as releasing agent when the experimental media contain neither chloride n...
متن کاملFatty acid effects on calcium influx and efflux in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle.
Low concentrations of fatty acids inhibited initial Ca uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, the extent of inhibition varying with chain length and unsaturation in a series of C14-C20 fatty acids. Oleic acid was a more potent inhibitor of initial Ca uptake than stearic acid at 25 degrees C, whereas at 5 degrees C there was less difference between the inhibitory effects of low concentration...
متن کاملCalcium release from two fractions of sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit skeletal muscle.
Calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles presumably derived from longitudinal tubules (LSR) and terminal cisternae (HSR) of rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated by dual wavelength spectrophotometry using the calcium-indicator antipyrylazo III. In 120 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 30 microM, CaCl2, 50 microM MgATP, 100 microM antipyrylazo III, 40 mM histidine (pH 6.8, 25 degrees C), LSR and...
