Mg-ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-ATPase activity have been examined in isolated microsomes obtained by differential centrifugation and in purified subcellular fractions obtained by Ficoll-sucrose density centrifugation in the presence of mitochondrial inhibitors. Mg-ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake increased with increasing EGTA-buffered free [Ca2+], reaching a maximum of 2 nmol 45Ca2+ X 15 min-1 X mg prot-1 at 2 mumol/1 [Ca2+] in the incubation medium. Half-maximal 45Ca2+ uptake was at approximately 0.2 mumol/1 [Ca2+]. Maximal Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase activity was 130 nmol X 15 min-1 X mg prot-1 at 2 mumol/l [Ca2+], with an apparent Km of approximately 0.3 mumol/l [Ca2+]. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (10(-6) mol/l), the mercurial compounds mersalyl (10(-5) mol/l) and CH3ClHg (10(-3) mol/l), as well as La3+ (10(-4) mol/l), vanadate (10(-4) mol/l), and saponin (50 micrograms/mg prot), abolished Mg-ATP-promoted 45Ca2+ uptake. In the absence of Mg2+, ATP did not provoke 45Ca2+ uptake. Using the purified smooth membrane fraction (F1) from the Ficoll-sucrose density gradient (enrichment of Na+-K+-ATPase specific activity by ninefold and of NADH-cytochrome c reductase by threefold as compared with total tissue homogenate), Mg-ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake correlated better with Na+-K+-ATPase (r = 0.97) than with the smooth endoplasmic marker NADH-cytochrome c reductase (r = 0.52). No correlation was found with RNA, the marker for rough endoplasmic reticulum. We conclude that pancreatic plasma membranes contain a Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase that represents the Ca2+ extrusion system from acinar cells. It is also possible that vesicular membrane structures associated with the plasma membrane, or endocytotic plasma membrane vesicles, take up Ca2+ and represent an intracellular Ca2+ pool.
