Using bovine heart sarcolemma vesicles we studied the effects of protons and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) on the affinity of the mammalian Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) for intracellular Ca(2+). By following the effects of extravesicular ligands in inside-out vesicles, their interactions with sites of NCX1 facing the intracellular medium were investigated. Two Na(+)-gradient-dependent fluxes were studied: Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+) release. PtdIns-4,5-P2 binding to NCX1 was investigated in parallel. Without MgATP (no 'de novo' synthesis of PtdIns-4,5-P2), alkalinization increased the affinity for Ca(2+) and the PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1. Vesicles depleted of phosphoinositides were insensitive to alkalinization, but became responsive following addition of exogenous PtdIns-4,5-P2 or PtdIns plus MgATP. Acidification reduced the affinity for Ca(2+)(ev); this was only partially reversed by MgATP, despite the increase in bound PtdIns-4,5-P2 to levels observed with alkalinization. Inhibition of Ca(2+) uptake by increasing extravesicular [Na(+)] indicates that it is related to H(+)(i) and Na(+)(i) synergistic inhibition of the Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site. Therefore, the affinity of the NCX1 Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site for Ca(2+) was maximal when both intracellular alkalinization and an increase in PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1 (not just of the total membrane PtdIns-4,5-P2) occurred simultaneously. In addition, protons influenced the distribution, or the exposure, of PtdIns-4,5-P2 molecules in the surroundings and/or on the exchanger protein.
我们使用牛心肌质膜囊泡研究了质子和磷脂酰肌醇 - 4,5 - 二磷酸(PtdIns - 4,5 - P2)对哺乳动物钠/钙交换体(NCX1)与细胞内钙亲和力的影响。通过追踪外翻囊泡中外囊泡配体的作用,研究了它们与面向细胞内介质的NCX1位点的相互作用。研究了两种依赖钠梯度的通量:钙摄取和钙释放。同时研究了PtdIns - 4,5 - P2与NCX1的结合情况。在没有MgATP(无法“从头”合成PtdIns - 4,5 - P2)的情况下,碱化增加了对钙的亲和力以及与NCX1结合的PtdIns - 4,5 - P2。缺乏磷酸肌醇的囊泡对碱化不敏感,但在添加外源性PtdIns - 4,5 - P2或磷脂酰肌醇加MgATP后变得有反应。酸化降低了对钙(ev)的亲和力;尽管结合的PtdIns - 4,5 - P2增加到碱化时观察到的水平,但MgATP只能部分逆转这种情况。通过增加外囊泡[Na⁺]来抑制钙摄取表明,这与H⁺(i)和Na⁺(i)对Ca²⁺(i)调节位点的协同抑制有关。因此,当细胞内碱化和与NCX1结合的PtdIns - 4,5 - P2(不仅仅是总膜PtdIns - 4,5 - P2)同时增加时,NCX1的Ca²⁺(i)调节位点对钙的亲和力最大。此外,质子影响了PtdIns - 4,5 - P2分子在周围环境和/或交换蛋白上的分布或暴露情况。
