Pumping Activity

The role of the calcium pump in the stimulation of intestinal calcium transport activity by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25(OH)2D3] was examined in chicks. The in situ intestinal absorption of calcium increased approximately threefold in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum 6 h after a single injection of 625 ng of 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 into vitamin D-deficient chicks. The same treatment also increased approximately twofold the rate of ATP-dependent calcium uptake by the basolateral membrane vesicles (BL) isolated from those three sites. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that a Mg(2+)-dependent calcium-stimulated phosphorylated intermediate with an apparent molecular mass of 105 kDa appeared in the BL. The 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 treatment gave no change in the levels of the intermediate. Pretreatment of the BL with alkaline phosphatase decreased the calcium uptake by the BL isolated from 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-treated chicks, but it had little effect on the uptake by the BL from vitamin D-deficient chicks. These results suggest that at an early stage of the 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-induced intestinal calcium transport process, the vitamin regulates the calcium-pumping activity of chick intestinal BL by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation but not by a stoichiometric change in the pump.

Crypt Cells

Rat duodenal cells were isolated sequentially to give fractions enriched for villus and crypt cells. From each of these fractions, basolateral-enriched membrane vesicles were prepared and ATP-dependent calcium uptake was studied. Calcium uptake was sensitive to temperature, was inhibited by vanadate and by A23187, and was lower in vitamin D-deficient animals. In normal animals, calcium transport was approximately twofold greater in villus-tip than in crypt cell-fraction basolateral membranes though the affinity of the uptake for calcium was similar (Km = 0.3 microM). In vitamin D-deficient animals, the crypt-to-villus gradient was reduced, and in all fractions, calcium transport was similar to or lower than that in the crypts of normal animals. Six hours after vitamin D-deficient animals were repleted with 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, a significant increase in calcium transport by everted gut sacs was present; however, basolateral calcium transport was significantly increased in only the mid-villus fractions, and no change was seen in the villus-tip fractions. Thus vitamin D appears necessary for the development of increased basolateral membrane calcium pump activity in duodenal villus cells, but not all cells in vitamin D-deficient rats are able to respond to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.

32P Incorporation

The role of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent membrane phosphorylation in the regulation of microsomal calcium transport in rat aortic smooth muscle was studied. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase augmented the phosphorylation of serine residues in a microsomal protein component with a molecular weight of about 44,000 (determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and the majority of 32P incorporation was in serine residue(s). The phosphorylated protein had stability characteristics of a phosphoester. The phosphorylated substrate was not extracted from the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitate with organic solvents or by suspension in hot TCA; and the demonstrated hydroxylamine insensitivity suggested that the substrate was not lipid or nucleic acid. Intrinsic phosphoprotein phosphatase cleaved the labeled phosphate from the cyclic AMP-stimulated microsomes in the first 5 min of incubation. Microsomes phosphorylated in the presence of 1 micron cyclic AMP or 1 micron cyclic AMP plus 0.1 mg/ml protein kinase exhibited enhanced calcium uptake. We suggest that reversible phosphorylation of microsomal membranes may play an important role in the regulation of aortic microsomal calcium transport by cyclic AMP.

Basolateral Membranes

Basolateral membrane vesicles were isolated from mouse enterocytes. The vesicles showed Na+-independent uptake of D-glucose. The uptake was inhibited by cytochalasin B and phloretin with 50% inhibition at 2.0 microM and 25 microM, respectively. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose inhibited D-glucose transport by 50% at 0.5 M. The basolateral membranes bound 13.5 pmol mg protein-1 of 0.1 microM-cytochalasin B. The effects of various monosaccharides on cytochalasin B binding were examined; the strongest inhibitor was 2-deoxy-D-glucose (20–30%). Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the basolateral membranes labelled with [3H]cytochalasin B revealed two components with Mr values of 52(+/− 2) and 30(X 10(3)). Phloretin and 2-deoxy-D-glucose inhibited the photo-incorporation of [3H]cytochalasin B into these components. While phloretin inhibited the photolabelling of the two components to a similar extent, 2-deoxy-D-glucose seemed to inhibit preferentially that into the 52 X 10(3) Mr component. The similar sensitivity to 2-deoxy-D-glucose of the photolabelling of the 52 X 10(3) Mr component and of D-glucose transport, together with the fact that dithiothreitol removal increased the incorporation into the 52 X 10(3)Mr component and decreased that into the 30 X 10(3) Mr component, seems to suggest that the 52 X 10(3) Mr component is the major glucose transporter of the basolateral membrane.

Abstract. To examine the hormonal regulation of the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump in the kidneys, the ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by the basolateral membrane vesicles in the renal cortex was measured using radioactive calcium (45Ca2+) in rats with vitamin D deficiency or rats undergoing thyroparathyroidectomy. The Vmax of the Ca2+ pump activity was increased not only by administering calcitriol, but also by normalizing the serum calcium level in vitamin D-deficient rats. PTH suppressed the Ca2+ pump activity in normocalcemic vitamin D-deficient rats. Thyroparathyroidectomy did not affect the Ca2+ pump activity in the kidneys of normal rats. It was concluded that the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump activity was depressed by secondary hyperparathyroidism in vitamin D-deficient rats.

One, twenty-five dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], commonly known as calcitriol, stimulates intestinal Ca absorption through increased activity of a cellular transport process. To determine whether transcellular Ca transport involves energy-dependent Ca efflux across enterocyte plasma membrane in vitamin D-sufficient rats, in vitro bidirectional Ca fluxes were measured under short-circuited conditions across proximal duodenum from rats fed diets adequate in vitamin D and containing a normal Ca diet (NCD), a low Ca diet (LCD), or fed NCD and injected with 50 ng of 1,25(OH)2D3 daily for 4 days before study. LCD or 1,25(OH)2D3 increased Ca net flux [Jnet, mucosal-to-serosal flux minus the serosal-to-mucosal flux] by increasing Ca mucosal-to-serosal flux (Jm----s) (mean +/- SE, NCD vs. LCD vs. 1,25(OH)2D3, 16 +/- 4 vs. 179 +/- 18 vs. 82 +/- 21 nmol.cm-2. h-1, P less than 0.0001). Initial ATP-dependent Ca uptake rates by duodenal basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) was greater in vesicles from rats fed NCD compared with LCD and not different from NCD injected with 1,25(OH)2D3. These studies suggest that in vitamin D-replete animals, 1,25(OH)2D3 increases epithelial Ca Jm----s by mechanisms that do not involve ATP-dependent BLM Ca efflux. ATP-dependent Ca exit from the cell under these conditions may play a role in intracellular Ca homeostasis rather than Ca absorption.

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a factor associated with normal development and physiology of the nervous, cardiovascular, immune, reproductive, and musculoskeletal systems in higher vertebrates. It also stimulates whole body calcium uptake in sea bream ( Sparus auratus) larvae with an estimated 60% coming from intestinal uptake in seawater. The present study investigated the role of PTHrP in the intestinal calcium transport in the sea bream in vitro. Unidirectional mucosal-to-serosal and serosal-to-mucosal 45Ca fluxes were measured in vitro in duodenum, hindgut, and rectum mounted in Ussing chambers. In symmetric conditions with the same saline, bathing apical and basolateral sides of the preparation addition of piscine PTHrP 1–34 (6 nM) to the serosal surface resulted in an increase in mucosal to serosal calcium fluxes in duodenum and hindgut and a reduction in serosal to mucosal in the rectum, indicating that different mechanisms are responsive to PTHrP along the intestine. In control asymmetric conditions, with serosal normal and mucosal bathed with a saline similar in composition to the intestinal fluid, there was a net increase in calcium uptake in all regions. The addition of 6 nM PTHrP 1–34 increased net calcium uptake two- to threefold in all regions. The stimulatory effect of PTHrP on net intestinal calcium absorption is consistent with a hypercalcemic role for the hormone. The results support the view that PTHrP, alone or in conjunction with recently identified PTH-like peptides, counteracts in vivo the hypocalcemic effects of stanniocalcin.

Spore Coat Protein

The spore-coat fraction from Bacillus megaterium KM, when prepared by extraction of lysozyme-digested integuments with SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate) and urea, contains three N-terminal residues and a major component of apparent mol.wt. 17500. Electron microscopy of this fraction shows it to consist of an ordered multilamellar structure similar to that which forms the coat region of intact spores. The 17500-dalton protein, which has been purified to homogeneity, has an N-terminal methionine residue, has high contents of glycine, proline, cysteine and acidic amino acids and readily polymerized even in the presence of thiol-reducing agents. It is first synthesized between late Stage IV and early Stage V, which correlates with the morphological appearance of spore coat. Before Stage VI the 17500-dalton protein is extractable from sporangia by SDS in the absence of thiol-reducing reagents. Between Stage VI and release of mature spores the protein becomes resistant to extraction by SDS unless it is supplemented by a thiol-reducing reagent. In addition to that of the spore-coat protein, the timing of synthesis of all the integument proteins was analysed by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and non-equilibrium pH-gradient electrophoresis. Several integument proteins are conservatively synthesized from as early as 1h after the end of exponential growth (t1), which may reflect protein incorporation into the spore outer membrane.
