Abstract
This review provides a selective history of how studies of mitochondrial cation transport (K+, Na+, Ca2+) developed in relation to the major themes of research in bioenergetics. It then covers in some detail specific transport pathways for these cations, and it introduces and discusses open problems about their nature and physiological function, particularly in relation to volume regulation and Ca2+ homeostasis. The review should provide the basic elements needed to understand both earlier mitochondrial literature and current problems associated with mitochondrial transport of cations and hopefully will foster new interest in the molecular definition of mitochondrial cation channels and exchangers as well as their roles in cell physiology.

Abstract
The identification of intramitochondrial free calcium ([Ca2+]m) as a primary metabolic mediator [see Hansford (this volume) and Gunter, T. E., Gunter, K. K., Sheu, S.-S., and Gavin, C. E. (1994) Am. J. Physiol. 267, C313-C339, for reviews] has emphasized the importance of understanding the characteristics of those mechanisms that control [Ca2+]m. In this review, we attempt to update the descriptions of the mechanisms that mediate the transport of Ca2+ across the mitochondrial inner membrane, emphasizing the energetics of each mechanism. New concepts within this field are reviewed and some older concepts are discussed more completely than in earlier reviews. The mathematical forms of the membrane potential dependence and concentration dependence of the uniporter are interpolated in such a way as to display the convenience of considering Vmax to be an explicit function of the membrane potential. Recent evidence for a transient rapid conductance state of the uniporter is discussed. New evidence concerning the energetics and stoichiometries of both Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent efflux mechanisms is reviewed. Explicit mathematical expressions are used to describe the energetics of the system and the kinetics of transport via each Ca2+ transport mechanism.

Abstract
In mammalian cells the membrane-bound NADH-quinone oxidoreductase serves as the entry point for oxidation of NADH in the respiratory chain and as the proton-translocating unit which conserves the free energy of the enzyme intramolecular redox reactions as the free energy of the electrochemical proton gradient across the coupling membrane. This review summarizes the kinetic properties of the mammalian enzyme. Emphasis is placed on the hysteretic properties of the enzyme as related to the possible control of intramitochondrial NADH oxidation and to the mechanism of the enzyme interaction with ubiquinone. Recent evidence for participation of flavin and the protein-bound ubisemiquinone pair in the enzyme-catalyzed proton translocation mechanism are discussed.

Abstract
Calpain, a calcium-dependent, neutral cysteine-protease was purified from the erythrocyte cytosol of subjects having essential hypertension (HTN), sickle cell anaemia, (SCA), or kwashiorkor (KWA). Identical electrophoretic mobility on SDS-polyacrylamide gradient gel, sensitivity to micromolar amounts of Ca2+, absolute requirement for a reducing environment and a high susceptibility to inhibition by leupeptin and thiol-group modifying reagents confirm that calpain preparations from these erythrocytes are equivalent to calpain I. Whereas the extent of calpain activation of erythrocyte membrane Ca2(+)-pumping ATPase of normal subjects was almost equal to that due to calmodulin, calpain activation of the HTN and SCA pump was greater than activation by calmodulin. Like in normal membranes, exogenous calmodulin protected the Ca2(+)-pumping ATPase of these erythrocytes against calpainization; the degree of protection by calmodulin is least in SCA and HTN. Electrophoretic separation of erythrocyte membranes and the purified Ca2(+)-pumping ATPase of HTN, SCA and KWA subjects does not indicate the presence of fragments resulting from the proteolytic action of calpain.

Abstract
It has been firmly established that the rapid uptake of Ca2+ by mitochondria from a wide range of sources is mediated by a uniporter which permits transport of the ion down its electrochemical gradient. Several mechanisms of Ca2+ efflux from mitochondria have also been extensively discussed in the literature. Energized mitochondria must expend a significant amount of energy to transport Ca2+ against its electrochemical gradient from the matrix space to the external space. Two separate mechanisms have been found to mediate this outward transport: a Ca2+/nNa+ exchanger and a Na(+)-independent efflux mechanism. These efflux mechanisms are considered from the perspective of available energy. In addition, a reversible Ca2(+)-induced increase in inner membrane permeability can also occur. The induction of this permeability transition is characterized by swelling of the mitochondria, leakiness to small ions such as K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+, and loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential. It has been suggested that the permeability transition and its reversal may also function as a mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux mechanism under some conditions. The characteristics of each of these mechanisms are discussed, as well as their possible physiological functions.

Abstract
Intracellular recordings from cultured parietal cells of the rat gastric fundus showed that carbachol, pentagastrin, histamine (in the presence of isobutylmethylxanthine; IBMX) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP induced hyperpolarizing responses which were sensitive to a K+ channel blocker, quinine. The Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, also induced a quinine-sensitive hyperpolarization. Deprivation of extracellular Ca2+ preferentially inhibited the hyperpolarizing responses to histamine (plus IBMX) and to dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Caffeine, oxalate and dantrolene sodium, which are known to affect Ca2+ transport in the endoplasmic reticulum, selectively inhibited the carbachol response. Mitochondrial inhibitors (KCN and carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone) preferentially suppressed the gastrin response. Cytosolic Ca2+ measurements with fura-2 indicated that significant increases in the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+ were induced not only by Ca2+-mediated acid secretagogues (carbachol and gastrin), but also by a cyclic AMP-mediated secretagogue (histamine plus IBMX). Dibutyryl cyclic AMP also increased cytosolic Ca2+ ions. It is concluded that stimulation of receptors to histamine, carbachol and gastrin gives rise to mobilization of Ca2+ ions into the cytoplasm from the different sources, thereby stimulating Ca2+-activated K+ channels in cultured rat parietal cells.

Abstract
Concentrations of adenine and pyridine nucleotides and the associated charge values were examined in extracts of mycelium of Penicillium notatum during vegetative growth and reproductive development promoted by the addition of Ca2+ (10 mmol dm-3). The significant increase in adenylate energy charge promoted by Ca2+ was due to a fall in intracellular AMP and a concomitant rise in ATP concentration. Intracellular concentrations of NADH and NAD fell within 1 h of the addition of Ca2+. The catabolic reduction charge was unchanged by Ca2+ whilst the anabolic reduction charge increased in Ca2+-induced mycelium due to lowered intracellular NADP concentration. Reduced concentration of NADPH in Ca2+-induced mycelium, relative to the vegetative controls, lowered the phosphorylated nucleotide fraction. The results are discussed in relation to metabolic economy during morphogenesis in P. notatum.

Abstract
Compounds which induce calcium efflux from calcium-loaded mitochondria generally provoke membrane leakiness. The involvement of the ADP/ATP carrier in modification of mitochondrial membrane properties was studied. The addition of impermeant inhibitors of the ADP/ATP carrier, namely carboxyatractylate, palmitoyl coenzyme A (in the absence of carnitine), and pyridoxal 5-phosphate, to calcium-loaded mitochondria triggered the release of accumulated calcium, the leakage of endogenous ADP, and the swelling of mitochondria. Permeant ligands, such as bongkrekic acid or ADP, showed no damaging effect on membrane permeability; in fact, they impeded the membrane perturbation which was induced by the three impermeant effectors. In addition, both bongkrekic acid and ADP were able to cancel the calcium loss and swelling resulting from the oxidation of intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotides by acetoacetate. In acetoacetate-treated mitochondria, the ADP/ATP carrier was shown to be mainly in a c-state conformation (i.e., the nucleotide binding site had an external orientation). It was concluded that induction of membrane leakiness by calcium ions depends on the conformational state of the adenine nucleotide carrier. The ability of intramitochondrial calcium ions to modify membrane properties is determined by the orientation of the nucleotide binding site. Only the c-state conformation allows membrane destabilization. Consequently, all compounds which stabilize the ADP/ATP carrier in the c-state conformation will have a deleterious effect on calcium-loaded mitochondria.

Abstract
The effects of the polyamines spermine and spermidine on rat brain mitochondrial calcium transport were examined using a variety of techniques for measuring the kinetics of calcium uptake and the buffering capabilities of isolated mitochondria. Spermine both increased the rate of calcium accumulation and decreased the set-point to which isolated mitochondria buffer free calcium concentration. In the presence of physiological concentrations of sodium and magnesium, spermine lowered the extramitochondrial calcium level to approximately 0.3 microM, a value close to the resting intracellular calcium concentration. The effect of polyamines was concentration dependent, with a half-maximal effect of spermine observed at approximately 0.1-0.4 mM (respiratory substrate dependent), whereas spermidine was approximately 10 times less potent. Calcium transport by hippocampal mitochondria was stimulated markedly more by spermine than was calcium transport by mitochondria isolated from brainstem. The stimulatory effect of spermine was not due to an increase in the transport of respiratory substrates inside the mitochondria nor to an effect on the enzymes using these respiratory substrates. An examination of the effect of spermine on the kinetics of calcium uptake indicated that spermine increased calcium uptake maximally at low calcium concentrations. Beyond that level, the stimulatory effect of spermine decreases, and spermine can even inhibit calcium uptake. These results are in good agreement with previous reports on the effects of polyamines on calcium transport in mitochondria from peripheral tissue. They support the hypothesis that spermine increases the rate of calcium uptake by mitochondria by increasing the affinity of the uniporter for calcium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Low concentrations of cadmium (3.3-40 microM) inhibited State 3 NADH-linked respiration in rat hepatic mitochondria, but failed to release oligomycin (1 microgram) inhibited State 3 respiration, or to significantly change the State 4 rate. In the presence of succinate, 40 microM cadmium inhibited State 3 respiration by 89%, while concentrations between 3.3 and 13.3 microM stimulated State 4 respiration. Higher concentrations caused marked inhibition. In the presence of succinate, cadmium released oligomycin inhibited State 3 respiration. Cadmium (0.001-1.0 mM) did not stimulate mitochondrial ATPase activity or inhibit ferricyanide reduction, but stimulated NAD+ linked mitochondrial dehydrogenase activities and NADH oxidation. These results indicate that cadmium interacts with either the NADH dehydrogenase complex or other NADH-dependent enzymes and not solely by an uncoupling action.

Abstract
It has been suggested that accumulation of lipid metabolites, such as fatty acids, fatty acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine, in the ischaemic myocardium, may be responsible for disturbances in mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes. In view of the presence of an intracellular fatty acid binding protein, the question arose whether these intermediates affect mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and release similarly in vivo. In this study the effects of linoleic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoyl-CoA and palmitoylcarnitine were studied on mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes in the absence and presence of albumin, an avid binder of fatty acid derivatives. Albumin reversed the effects of the above compounds on mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and release, suggesting that the presence of an intracellular fatty acid binding protein may protect the ischaemic myocardial cell against the deleterious effects of accumulated fatty acid derivatives.

Abstract
The effects of Reye's plasma, allantoin, and salicylates on mitochondrial structure and Ca2+ transport have been investigated. Measurements of Ca2+ transport showed that when 20-30 microM Ca2+ was added to isolated rat liver mitochondria preincubated with one of these agents, Ca2+ uptake was followed by its spontaneous release into the medium. This was accompanied by large-amplitude swelling; the onset preceded the Ca2+ release. No further Ca2+ release was induced by uncoupler or the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187. The mitochondria continued to swell even after all of the Ca2+ had been released. The time between the addition of Ca2+ and the onset of swelling (or Ca2+ release) depended on the concentration of the agent added and the preincubation time; the extent of swelling did not. These effects were prevented, but not reversed, by ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid, ruthenium red, rotenone, or adenine nucleotides. The massive swelling and membrane disruption were confirmed by electron microscopy of the treated vs untreated mitochondria. Similar results concerning swelling and Ca2+ release were also seen with Ca2+ alone, but the time scale was much longer (i.e., greater than 3-4 min), indicating that these agents act by potentiating Ca2+-induced alterations in mitochondrial structure, as suggested by our earlier work (T.Y. Segalman and C.P. Lee (1982) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 214, 522-530; M.E. Martens and C.P. Lee (1984) Biochem. Pharmacol. 33, 2869-2876). Our data show, therefore, that allantoin, salicylates, and the "toxic" agent in Reye's plasma severely limit the ability of isolated rat liver mitochondria to maintain their structural integrity under conditions of limited Ca2+ loading.

Abstract
We have examined the ultrastructure and the protein content of native matrix granules (NMG) in rat heart mitochondria, by postembedding immunocytochemistry. Cytochrome c oxidase was found to be present in these granules. It is believed that these granules contain incomplete inner mitochondrial membrane fractions, which can be incorporated in the membrane after stimulation of the metabolism.

Abstract
The uptake of Ca2+ by endotoxin-challenged 3T6 fibroblasts, in vitro, was studied. In recent years, the role of calcium in cell injury ultimately leading to cell death has attracted a fair amount of interest. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the direct toxic action of endotoxin is related to a disturbance in Ca2+ homeostasis. Increased calcium uptake in endotoxin-challenged cells was found to be directly related to the bacterial source and method of extraction of endotoxin, the cell density of the culture and the pH of the medium. The effect of endotoxin on calcium uptake was completely reversed by polymyxin B which is known to neutralize the endotoxicity of lipopolysaccharides. These results imply that the increased calcium uptake may be one of the mechanisms by which endotoxin causes direct tissue damage. The potential significance of these data to periodontal disease is discussed.

Abstract
The ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ [and [3H](-)-noradrenaline ([3H]NA)] into chromaffin granules and that into mitochondria are driven by a protonic gradient delta mu H+, composed of the components delta pH (concentration gradient of protons) and delta psi (electrical potential difference). The granular ATPase pumps protons into the matrix (delta pH inside acid, delta psi positive), but the mitochondrial ATPase ejects protons from the matrix (delta pH alkaline, delta psi negative inside). To show different driving forces of uptake, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ (and [3H]NA) into chromaffin granules was compared with the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into mitochondria (adrenomedullary or rat liver). In the presence of nitrate, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is higher than in the presence of acetate, because the lyotropic anion nitrate stimulates the granular ATPase and increases delta pH (acid inside). Compared with nitrate, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into mitochondria is higher in the presence of the proton-carrying anion acetate, which, after permeation, provides protons for ejection by the ATPase. In the absence of ATP, a valinomycin-mediated potassium influx (delta psi inside positive) stimulates the granular uptake of [3H]NA, which has an electrogenic component, but not the granular uptake of 45Ca2+, which is electroneutral. The electrogenic uptake of 45Ca2+ into mitochondria is stimulated by a valinomycin-mediated potassium efflux (delta psi negative inside). The ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is sensitive to ruthenium red, suggesting a carrier-mediated mechanism of uptake, and it is sensitive to atractyloside, indicating the simultaneous uptake of ATP. After collapse of delta pH by ammonia, the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is abolished, but not that into mitochondria. In the presence of ammonia, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of [3H]NA is very low, and an ATP-independent uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is observed which is similar to the ATP-independent Ca2+/Na+ exchange at the granular membrane.

Abstract
After infection of primary chick embryo cells with an influenza A virus (FPV) the synthesis of polar lipids was specifically inhibited, while mono-, di- and triacylglycerols and fatty acids accumulated. Influx of Ca++ accelerated and Ca++ accumulated in the infected cells. Since enzymes like choline phosphotransferase are sensitive to high concentrations of Ca++, specific inhibition of the synthesis of polar lipids is presumably due to an increased influx of Ca++ by the infection.

Abstract
Energy linked Ca2+ uptake into mung bean mitochondria has been studied. Using arsenazo III as a monitor of extramitochondrial Ca2+, we observe a respiration-linked uptake of Ca2+ which requires phosphate and is insensitive to ruthenium red. The rate of uptake is of the order of 5 nmol/mg protein/min. Acetate, sulphate and thiosulphate are unable to support Ca2+ uptake. The results suggest that although plant mitochondria accumulate Ca2+ in an energy dependent fashion, it is not via a simple electrophoretic uniport mechanism.

Abstract
Mitochondria were isolated from the hepatopancreas of the Florida spiny lobster Panulirus argus using a high osmolarity medium containing 600 mM mannitol, 83 mM sucrose, 5 mM 4-morpholinepropanesulfonic acid, pH 7.6, 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 1 mM EDTA. O2 uptake and Ca2+ transport were measured by electrode methods in similar media (plus 4 mM KPi, 3.3 mM MgCl2, and 0.67 mg/ml BSA, with 80 mM KCl replacing a portion of the osmotic support). Substrate-supported respiration was observed to be coupled to phosphorylation of ADP or uptake of Ca2+ ions. State 3 rates (nanogram atoms O X minute-1 X milligram protein-1 +/- SEM (N)) were: 49.2 +/- 3.9 (19), succinate; 30.9 +/- 3.9 (6), DL-palmitoyl carnitine; 29.0 +/- 2.7(9), L-malate; 40.0 +/- 2.3(3), L-glutamate; 27.7 +/- 2.2(5), D-3-hydroxybutyrate; and 26.4 +/- 2.4 (18), L-proline +/- pyruvate. alpha-Glycerol phosphate was not oxidized. Ca2+ uptake driven by succinate oxidation proceeded with Ca:O ratios of 4.0 +/- 0.2 (SEM). Hepatopancreas mitochondria were not uncoupled by Ca2+ uptake in excess of 1100 ng atoms X mg protein-1. Ca2+ efflux could be induced by ruthenium red, indicating the presence of an active Ca2+ cycle. These mitochondria may provide a favorable model system in which to study regulation of the Ca2+ cycle.

Abstract
Calcium accumulation by submandibular gland microsomes (first described by Selinger and Naim, ((1970) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 323, 337-341) has been further characterized. Accumulation was concentration dependent, had a Km of 25 microM added calcium and a Vmax of 12 nM calcium/mg protein per min. No accumulation was observed in the presence of either the calcium ionophore A23187, or the detergent Triton X-100 (0.05). The divalent cations Sr2+ and Mn2+ inhibited accumulation competitively with Ki values of 67 microM and 200 microM, respectively. The effect of various enzyme inhibitors were tested on the microsomal calcium transport system and it was found that chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, and DIDS all inhibited. The mitochondrial transport inhibitors ruthenium red and CCCP had no effect on transport. Experiments directed at clarifying the cellular location of the system are described. It was found that the membrane vesicles responsible for transport show different purification properties than the membrane vesicles which contain the standard enzyme markers for total and rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, and lysosomes. These conclusions are based upon experiments using these properties for membrane purification, density, size, and electrophoretic mobility. Three possible explanations of the results are given and it is organelles. The significance of the results in: (1) understanding the biochemical properties of the submandibular gland microsomal calcium transport system, (2) clarifying the cellular location of the system, and (3) clarifying the function of the system in salivary secretion are discussed.

Abstract
1. The ability of external ATP to induce calcium uptake in isolated rat liver cells was further characterized. Stimulation of calcium uptake was specific for ATP, other nucleotides or ATP metabolites had no comparable effect. ATP was dephosphorylated while stimulating calcium uptake, but there was no stoichiometry between ATP hydrolysis and calcium uptake nor did dephosphorylation depend on calcium concentration. ATP acted from outside and was dephosphorylated by an ecto-ATPase of the cells. 2. In addition to its direct action, ATP enhanced succinate-dependent calcium uptake in a cooperative fashion. This is best explained by different sites of action. ATP increases cell membrane permeability while succinate stimulates uptake into mitochondria. 3. ATP was able to lower Na+ and K+ gradients and the pH gradient between cells and incubation medium. Increasing calcium concentration counteracted this effect though calcium uptake was then stimulated. 4. Succinate alone did not affect monovalent cation gradients but raised the pH gradient. It partially counteracted the ATP effects on these gradients. 5. Since catecholamine-like actions of ATP may be mediated by an increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration, the action of extracellular ATP can be taken as a model to study the role of calcium as a transmitter of hormone actions. From interdependence between ATP-stimulated and succinate-stimulated calcium uptake, conclusions can be drawn on the resulting cytoplasmic calcium concentration and its effect on plasma membrane permeability.

Abstract
The changes in the intracellular pH (pHi) of sea urchin sperm associated with motility initiation and acrosome reaction were investigated using uptake of two different probes; 9-aminoacridine and methylamine, as a qualitative index. Sperm suspended in Na+-free sea water were immotile and able to concentrate these amines 20-fold or greater indicating that pHi is more acidic than the external medium (pHo = 7.7). This uptake ratio was essentially constant over a wide range of probe and sperm concentrations. Discharge of the pH gradient with specific ionophores (nigericin, monensin, and tetrachlorosalicylanilide) or nonspecifically using low concentration of detergents (Triton X-100 and lysolecithin) all resulted in the release of the probes indicating they are indeed sensing the pH gradient across the sperm membrane. Addition of Na+ to sperm suspended in Na+-free sea water resulted in activation of motility with concomitant efflux of the probes indicating the alkalinization of pHi by 0.4-0.5 pH units. That this pHi change is the causal trigger of motility was suggested by experiments using NH4Cl and nigericin, which increased the pHi and resulted in activation of motility in the absence of Na+. When sperm were directly diluted into artificial sea water (motility activated), a slow reacidification of pHi was observed in one species of sea urchin (L. pictus) but not in the other (S. purpuratus). This acidification could be blocked by mitochondrial inhibitors, verapamil, or the removal of external calcium suggesting that the increase in metabolic activity stimulated by the influx of Ca2+ is responsible for the reacidification. Induction of acrosome reaction further alkalinized the pHi by about 0.16 pH units and was also followed by prolonged reacidification which correlated with the observed increase in Ca2+ uptake. Either mitochondrial agents or the removal of external Ca2+ could also block this pHi change suggesting a similar mechanism is involved.

Abstract
The effects of pentobarbitone on the transport of 45Ca2+ by rat brain mitochondria were studied, using the Ruthenium Red-EGTA quench technique. In the presence of succinate and inorganic phosphate, mitochondria rapidly accumulate 45Ca2+. Pentobarbitone (0.1-1.0 mM) stimulates the initial rate of Ca2+ transport. In contrast, pentobarbitone (1 mM) did not affect the NaCl (50 mM)-induced efflux of 45Ca2+ from mitochondria. Dibucaine (60 micro M), a clinically used local anaesthetic, inhibits both 45Ca2+ uptake an efflux. The results suggest that barbiturate stimulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake may, in combination with effects on other Ca2+ sequestering processes, contribute to the inhibitor of transmitter release observed at a number of synapses.

Abstract
The effect of the nephrotoxic aminoglycoside antibiotic, gentamicin, on calcium uptake by renal cortical mitochondria was assessed in vitro. Gentamicin was found to be a competitive inhibitor of mitochondrial Ca++ uptake. This effect displayed a dose response with a Ki of 233 microM and occurred at gentamicin concentrations below those that inhibit mitochondrial electron transport. These results further demonstrate the potential for gentamicin to alter membrane function and thereby contribute to toxic cell injury via its interactions with divalent cations.

Abstract
Maintenance of mouse sperm motility requires exogenous Ca+2 in most, but not all, samples of epididymal spermatozoa. In these samples, the loss of motility with time is the same in Tris/NaCl buffer containing 1.7 mM Ca+2 (medium TNC) as it is in complete culture medium used for in vitro fertilization (medium CM) over the first 2 hours; spermatozoa in medium TNC lose motility at more rapid rate thereafter. The cation specificity for maintenance of motility is unusual in that both Sr+2 and Mg+2 substitute for Ca+2, with Mg+2 being the more effective. In the absence of Ca+2, these samples of mouse epididymal spermatozoa in Tris/NaCl buffer (medium TN) lose motility in about 30 minutes. If Ca+2 is added after incubation in TN for 15 minutes, motility is maintained as well as it is in medium TNC. If Ca+2 is added at 30 minutes, motility is partially restored. But if Ca+2 is added after 60 minutes, there is no restoration of motility. Spermatozoa suspended in medium TNC lose motility rapidly on addition of EGTA in excess of the Ca+2 present. Attempts to show uptake of Ca+2 by spectrophotometric assay, by effects of Ca+2 on oxidative metabolism, and by electron probe X-ray microanalysis were unsuccessful; motility is not maintained by entry of Ca+2 into the cells. Our results are consistent with a Ca+2 site on the plasma membrane and suggest that these sites function as oligomers of ordered subunits whose structure requires Ca+2. In the absence of Ca+2, the ability to form the oligomer is lost with time, possibly due to an irreversible conformational change.

Abstract
The distribution of Ca2+ between mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial compartments within intact synaptosomes is investigated during the net Ca2+ uptake induced by plasma membrane depolarization. The steady-state synaptosomal Ca2+ content (5.8 +/- 0.3 nmol/mg protein) is increased by 77% by plasma depolarization induced by veratridine plus ouabain (9.7 +/- 0.6 nmol/mg protein) and by 100% by high K+ (50 mM) (11.0 +/- 0.9 nmol/mg protein). Prior abolition of the mitochondrial membrane potential, and hence inhibition of intrasynaptosomal mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation, decreased the steady-state Ca2+ accumulation by 40% in both the control and the veratridine-ouabain depolarization, and by almost 60% in the case of high K+ depolarization. Similar values were obtained for the release of Ca2+ from synaptosomes when the mitochondrial membrane was depolarized after a steady state had been attained. Control experiments demonstrated that contaminating free mitochondria were not responsible for the altered Ca2+ accumulation. That the decrease in the Ca2+ accumulation on mitochondrial depolarization corresponds to the extent of the mitochondrial pool was confirmed by rapid synaptosomal disruption with digitonin which gave values of 2.5 +/- 0.5 nmol/mg protein, 4.4 +/- 0.9 nmol/mg protein and 6.9 nmol/mg protein for control or veratridine/ouabain- and high-[K+]-depolarized synaptosomes, respectively. The lesser contribution of intrasynaptosomal mitochondria during veratridine/ouabain-induced depolarization is proposed to be a consequence of raised cytosolic Na+ concentrations activating the mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux pathway. The results demonstrate that intrasynaptosomal mitochondria represent a metabolically responsive Ca2+ pool in situ.
