Abstract:
:Recent investigations suggest that Ca2(+)-ATPase from fish gills is very sensitive to Zn2+ (Hogstrand et al., 1996. Am. J. Physiol. 270, R1141-R1147). The effect of free Zn2+ ion on the human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase was investigated to explore the possible extension of this finding to humans. Membrane vesicles were prepared and the Ca2(+)-ATPase activity was measured as Ca2(+)-stimulated ATP hydrolysis and as ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport. The Zn2+ ion inhibited the erythrocyte Ca2(+)-ATPase by reducing Vmax and increasing the K0.5. While in the Ca2+ transport assay only the Vmax was affected at lower Zn2+ concentrations (50-100 pM), reduction of Vmax was always accompanied by an affinity decrease in the ATP hydrolysis assay. The Ca2(+)-ATPase was found to be inhibited by Zn2+ at extremely low concentrations. The IC10 and IC50 for Zn2+, at a Ca2+ concentration of 1.0 microM, were estimated at 4 and 80 pM, respectively. Although the Ca2(+)-ATPase might be more sensitive in vitro than in vivo conditions, the results suggest that physiological concentrations of Zn2+ may reduce the activity of the erythrocyte Ca2(+)-ATPase. Furthermore, disturbance of Ca homeostasis may be a mechanism causing Zn toxicity during exposure.
