Role of phosphatidylinositol in cardiac sarcolemmal membrane sodium- calcium exchange

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of a distinct type of phospholipase C on sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+ exchange. With this phospholipase C (Staphylococcus aureus), treatment of cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles resulted in a specific hydrolysis of membrane phosphatidylinositol. This hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol also released two proteins (110 and 36 kDa) from the sarcolemmal membrane. Phospholipase C pretreatment of the sarcolemma resulted in an unexpected stimulation of Na+-Ca2+ exchange. The Vmax of Na+-Ca2+ exchange was increased but the Km for Ca2+ was not altered. This stimulation was specific to the Na+-Ca2+ exchange pathway. ATP- dependent Ca2+ uptake was depressed after phospholipase C treatment, but passive membrane permeability to Ca2+ was unaffected. Sarcolemmal Na+,K+-ATPase activity was not altered, whereas passive Ca2+ binding was modestly decreased after phospholipase C pretreatment. The stimulation of Na+-Ca2+ exchange after phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis was greater in inside-out vesicles than in a total population of vesicles of mixed orientation. This finding suggests that the cardiac sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+ exchanger is functionally asymmetrical. The results also suggest that membrane phosphatidylinositol is inhibitory to the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger or, alternatively, this phospholipid may anchor an endogenous inhibitory protein in the sarcolemmal membrane. The observation that a transsarcolemmal Ca2+ flux pathway may be stimulated solely by phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis independently of phosphoinositide metabolic products like inositol triphosphate is novel.
