چکیده

Because human erythrocyte membrane Ca2+-ATPase is a calmodulin-dependent enzyme, and because physiological levels of thyroid hormone stimulate this enzyme system in vitro, we have studied the role of calmodulin in this model of extranuclear thyroid hormone action. Ca2+-ATPase activity in the absence of thyroid hormone ("basal activity") was increased by inclusion in the preassay incubation mixture of purified calmodulin or hypothyroid erythrocyte hemolysate that contained calmodulin (39 micrograms calmodulin/ml packed cells, determined by radioimmunoassay); addition of L-thyroxine or 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (10(-10)M) significantly enhanced (P less than 0.001) enzyme activity in the presence of calmodulin or hemolysate. The stimulatory effects of thyroid hormone, calmodulin, and hemolysate were additive. At 5-10 microM, trifluoperazine, an antagonist of calmodulin, inhibited thyroid hormone stimulation of Ca2+-ATPase activity. Higher concentrations of trifluoperazine (50-100 microM) inhibited basal and hormone-stimulated enzyme activity, with or without added calmodulin. Anti-calmodulin antibody (10-50 micrograms antibody/mg membrane protein) inhibited basal, calmodulin-stimulated and thyroid hormone-stimulated Ca2+-ATPase activity. Membrane preparations were shown by radioimmunoassay to contain residual endogenous calmodulin (0.27 +/- 0.02 micrograms/mg membrane protein). The latter accounts for the effect of trifluoperazine and calmodulin antibody on membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity in the absence of added purified calmodulin. These results support the conclusion that the in vitro action of physiological levels of iodothyronines on human erythrocyte Ca2+-ATPase activity requires the presence of calmodulin.

Action of long-chain fatty acids in vitro on Ca2+-stimulatable, Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity in human red cell membranes.

Human red cell membrane Ca2+-stimulatable, Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Ca2+-ATPase) activity and its response to thyroid hormone have been studied following exposure of membranes in vitro to specific long-chain fatty acids. Basal enzyme activity (no added thyroid hormone) was significantly decreased by additions of 10(-9)-10(-4) M-stearic (18:0) and oleic (18:1 cis-9) acids. Methyl...

Sex-dependent inhibition by retinoic acid of thyroid-hormone action on rabbit reticulocyte Ca2(+)-ATPase activity.

The interaction was examined in vitro of retinoic acid and thyroid hormone with rabbit reticulocyte Ca2(+)-ATPase. L-Thyroxine (T4) (0.1 nM) stimulated female-source Ca2(+)-ATPase activity (+21%; P less than 0.03) and inhibited male-source enzyme (-20%; P less than 0.05). Addition of retinoic acid (10 nM-1 microM) did not influence T4-inhibitable male-source Ca2(+)-ATPase, but caused a 52% loss...

Antibodies against erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase specifically inhibit the calmodulin-dependent fraction of the enzyme's activity.

Antibodies against purified Ca2+-transport ATPase from human erythrocytes were raised in rabbits. Immunodiffusion experiments revealed that precipitating antibodies had been developed. The immunoglobulin fraction inhibited solely the calmodulin-dependent fraction of erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase activity, whereas the basal (in the absence of added calmodulin) activity of the enzyme was not ...

Stimulation by thyroid hormone analogues of red blood cell Ca2+-ATPase activity in vitro. Correlations between hormone structure and biological activity in a human cell system.

Human red blood cell membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity is stimulated in vitro by physiological concentrations (10(-10) M) of L-thyroxine (L-T4) and 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (L-T3). This human cell system has been utilized to examine a series of iodothyronine and iodotyrosine analogues for structure-activity relationships. Analogue purity was verified by high pressure liquid chromatography. Analog...

The effect of thyroid hormone on the high affinity Ca2+-ATPase in rat liver plasma membrane.

The effect of thyroid hormone on the high affinity Ca2+-ATPase activity in rat liver plasma membrane was studied. The high affinity Ca2+-ATPase activity in plasma membrane was activated by 10(-7)-10(-5) M of Ca2+ and was inhibited by 70 microM trifluoperazine. Thyroidectomy of rats was associated with an increase in the activity of high affinity Ca2+-ATPase. The increased enzyme activity was no...
