PG - 167-71 AB - A specific inhibitor of SERCA-pumps, thapsigargin (TG) was used to demonstrate the direct involvement of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase in passive K+/Na+ exchange. The K(+)-potential variations across vesicle membranes were measured in the absence of ATP with a fluorescent probe: 3,3'-dipropylthiodicarbocyanine iodide. Addition of EGTA dissipates the K(+)-potential whereas the presence of TG abolishes this effect. Our data prove that the Ca(2+)-ATPase translocates monovalent cations at a rate similar to the E2-->E1 conformational change.
