Calcium–hydrogen exchange by the plasma membrane Ca-ATPase of voltage-clamped snail neurons

The submicromolar levels of free Ca(2+) ions in animal cells are believed to be maintained in the long term by two different plasma membrane transport mechanisms. These are Na-Ca exchange, driven by the sodium gradient, and a Na-independent Ca pump, driven by ATP. There is good evidence from red blood cells, and indirect evidence from other non-neuronal preparations, that the Ca-ATPase exchanges internal Ca(2+) for external H(+). Although Ca extrusion from nerve cells is inhibited by high external pH, there as yet is no evidence for the counter-transport of H(+). We have used both pH- and calcium-sensitive microelectrodes on the cell surface, and the Ca indicator fura-2 intracellularily, to investigate how snail neurons regulate cytoplasmic free Ca(2+). We now report that in snail neurons the recovery of intracellular Ca(2+) after an increase coincides with both the expected increase in surface Ca(2+) and a decrease in surface H+. Recovery of intracellular Ca and the changes in surface pH and Ca are all blocked by intracellular vanadate. We conclude that snail neurons regulate intracellular Ca mainly by a Ca-H ATPase, and suggest that this Ca-H exchange may account for many of the reported extracellular pH changes seen with neuronal excitation.

Modulation of swimming rhythmicity by 5-hydroxytryptamine during post-embryonic development in Xenopus laevis.

During the first 24 h of post-embryonic development in Xenopus laevis, a rapid change in the neural activity underlying swimming occurs in which the duration of ventral root discharge on each cycle increases from a single compound impulse to discrete bursts of activity. Moreover, this change in motor output progresses rostrocaudally, suggesting that it could result from the influence of a descending neural pathway upon the spinal rhythm-generating circuitry during early post-embryonic development. To begin to examine whether serotonergic neurons of brainstem raphe nuclei might have a role in this swimming development, we have studied the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) on fictive swimming in embryonic and larval animals. As previously demonstrated for other vertebrate locomotor rhythms, we find that bath-applied 5HT enhances the duration of motor activity on each cycle of larval fictive swimming. In addition, our results show that the sensitivity of the swimming rhythm to exogenous 5HT follows a strict rostrocaudal gradient. In young embryos (stages 32-36) 5HT does not affect the duration of ventral root impulses per cycle; by the time of hatching (stage 37/38), rostral but not caudal discharge is enhanced, and by stage 42 (24 h post-hatching) 5HT can increase motor burst durations along most of the length of the animal. These reversible changes induced by bath-applied 5HT closely resemble the normal rostrocaudal development of burst discharge during swimming in animals some 12 h older.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
