Notizen:
ATP added externally to rat synaptosomes activated uptake of both Ca2+ and glutamate which was partially accounted for by the uptake phenomena of synaptic vescles and mitochondria, as shown by using specific inhibitors of the latter. Increasing concentrations of glutamate stimulated Ca2+ entry linearly, as shown by using 45Ca or a Ca-specific electrode. The processes of glutamate and Ca2+ uptake shared some common features and their ATP-dependence may be correlated with an ouabain-insensitive synaptosomal ectonucleotidase activity measured by a 31P-NMR or a luminometric technique. The ATP hydrolysis catalysed by the synaptosomes was activated by both Ca2+ and glutamate. The present synaptosomal activities may represent a model for studying the modulatory effects of ATP on the glutamatergic neurotransmission.
