We investigated the role of extracellular Ca2+ in the Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin-induced alteration of the permeability of the plasma membrane. Enterotoxin released 86Rb and 51Cr from the Vero cells preloaded with the isotope. In the presence of EGTA, however, it released 86Rb but not 51Cr. The binding of enterotoxin to the cells was not influenced by Ca2+ or Mg2+. The effects of various cations on the enterotoxin-induced 51Cr release was also studied. The release depended on extracellular Ca2+ but not on Mg2+; it was inhibited by each of Zn2+, La3+ and Co2+. Zn2+ and Co2+ also inhibited 51Cr release caused by the enterotoxin previously bound to the cell membrane. In contrast, antibody against enterotoxin did not neutralize the toxin once it was bound to the Vero cells. When the cells were treated with enterotoxin, 45Ca influx occurred and reached the plateau in a few minutes, as did 86Rb release.
