In permeabilized parotid cells and in isolated membrane vesicles from parotid endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Mg-ATP-dependent Ca{sup 2+} uptake was measured using a Ca{sup 2+}-specific macroelectrode and {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+}, respectively. Mg-ATP-dependent Ca{sup 2+} uptake was inhibited by vanadate by {approximately}45% in permeabilized cells and by {approximately}70% in membrane vesicles from ER during the initial 10 min. After this lag phase, Ca{sup 2+} uptake increased. Subsequent addition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP{sub 3}) caused a similar Ca{sup 2+} release compared with control. This indicates that in presence of vanadate an IP{sub 3}-sensitive Ca{sup 2+} pool was filled. However, when protonophores, such as nigericin or carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone, were added in addition to vanadate, this low steady-state free (Ca{sup 2+}) was not reached. {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} uptake was reduced by {approximately}70% within 60 min, and IP{sub 3} did not cause {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} release when given subsequently, indicating that filling of an IP{sub 3}-sensitive Ca{sup 2+} pool was prevented. Mg-ATP-driven H{sup +} uptake into ER vesicles was abolished by protonophores and by the H{sup +}-ATPase blockers N-ethylmaleimide and Dio 9 but was unaltered by vanadate. Preincubation of ER vesicles in a medium without Ca{sup 2+}, but with vanadate and with Mg-ATP to generate an H{sup +} gradient, allowed demonstration of {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} uptake from a medium that did not contain ATP. The data indicate that both a Ca{sup 2+} and a H{sup +} pump are located in a compartment of ER that is also sensitive to IP{sub 3}. Ca{sup 2+} uptake is coupled to an H{sup +} gradient that is generated by the H{sup +} pump and most likely occurs via Mg-ATP-driven Ca{sup 2+}-H{sup +} countertransport but to some extent can also operate in absence of ATP at the expense of the H{sup +} gradient.
