Abstract

Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the bovine cardiac Na/Ca exchanger were treated with ouabain to increase Na$^+$i and stimulate Ca$^2+$ influx by Na/Ca exchange. Depletion of cellular ATP inhibited 45Ca uptake by 40\% or more and reduced the half-maximal Na$^+$ concentration for inhibition of 45Ca uptake from 90 to 55 mM. ATP depletion also reduced the rate of rise in Ca$^2+$i when Na$^+$o was reduced and inhibited the decline in Ca$^2+$i when high Na$^+$o was restored. The effects of ATP depletion were either absent or reduced in cells expressing a mutant exchanger missing most of the cytosolic hydrophilic domain. We were unable to detect a phosphorylated form of the exchanger in immunoprecipitates from 32P-labeled cells. ATP depletion caused a breakdown in the actin cytoskeleton of the cells. Treatment of the cells with cytochalasin D mimicked the effects of ATP depletion on the Na$^+$ inhibition profile for 45Ca uptake. Thus, ATP depletion inhibits both the Ca$^2+$ influx and Ca$^2+$ efflux modes of Na/Ca exchange, and may alter the competitive interactions of extracellular Na$^+$ and Ca$^2+$ with the transporter. The latter effect appears to be related to changes in the actin cytoskeleton.
