ABSTRACT
Triads isolated from frog and rabbit skeletal muscle were equilibrated with different external [Ca2+], ranging from 0.025 to 10 mM. Vesicular calcium increased with external [Ca2+] as the sum of a linear plus a saturable component; the latter, which vanished after calsequestrin removal, displayed Bmax values of 182 and 132 nmol of calcium/mg of protein, with Kd values of 1.21 and 1.14 mM in frog and rabbit vesicles, respectively. The effect of luminal [Ca2+] on release kinetics in triads from frog and rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated, triggering release with 2 mM ATP, pCa 5, pH 6.8. In triads from frog, release rate constant (k) values increased sixfold after increasing luminal [Ca2+] from 0.025 to 3 mM. In triads from rabbit, k values increased 20-fold when luminal [Ca2+] increased from 0.05 to 0.7 mM. In both preparations, k values remained relatively constant (10-12 s-1) at higher luminal [Ca2+], with a small decrease at 10 mM. Initial release rates increased with luminal [Ca2+] in both preparations; in triads from rabbit the increase was hyperbolic, and in triads from frogs the increase was sigmoidal. These results indicate that, although triads from frog and rabbit respond differently, in both preparations luminal [Ca2+] has a distinctive effect on release, presumably by regulating sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium channels.
