S. Luciani et al., INHIBITION OF CARDIAC SARCOLEMMAL SODIUM-CALCIUM EXCHANGER BY GLYCEROPHOSPHOINOSITOL 4-PHOSPHATE AND GLYCEROPHOSPHOINOSITOL 4-5-BISPHOSPHATE, Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 206(2), 1995, pp. 674-680
The enrichment in phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylino
sitoI 4-5-bisphosphate of cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles stimulate Na+/C
a2+ exchange activity. On the contrary the deacylation products of pol
yphosphoinositides are powerful inhibitors of Na+/Ca2+ exchange: half
maximal inhibition of 1.6 and 2.1 mu M have been observed for glycerop
hosphoinositol 4-phosphate and glycerophosphoinositol 4-5-bisphosphate
, respectively. The data indicate a bidirectional regulation of Na+/Ca
2+ exchanger and suggest that phosphorylated glycerophosphoinositoIs c
an be regarded as novel signal transducers of intracellular Ca2+ regul
ation in heart cell. (C) 1995 Academic, Inc.
