We have explored the processes regulating presynaptic calcium
concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the
generation of post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) at crayfish neuromuscular
junctions, using spectrophotometric dyes to measure changes in
[Ca2+]i and
[Na+]i and effects of inhibitors of
Ca2+-transport processes. The mitochondrial
Na+/Ca2+ exchange inhibitor CGP
37157 was without effect, whereas the reverse mode plasmalemmal
Na+/Ca2+ exchange inhibitor KB
R7943 reduced PTP and Ca2+ accumulation caused by
increased [Na+]i. Exchange inhibitory
peptide and C28R2 had opposite effects, consistent with their block of
the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase. All drugs except
CGP 37157 reduced Ca2+ accumulation caused by
Na+ accumulation, which occurred on block of the
Na+/K+ pump, acting in proportion
to their effects on plasmalemmal
Na+/Ca2+ exchange. We find no
role for mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+
exchange in presynaptic Ca2+ regulation. The plasma
membrane Na+/Ca2+ exchanger acts
in reverse mode to admit Ca2+ into nerve terminals
during and for some minutes after tetanic stimulation, while at the
same time the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase operates
as an important Ca2+ removal process. The interplay
of these two Ca2+ transport processes with
Na+-independent mitochondrial
Ca2+ fluxes and the plasmalemma
Na+/K+ pump determines the
magnitude of tetanic [Ca2+]i
accumulation and potentiation of excitatory transmission, and the
post-tetanic time courses of decay of elevated
[Ca2+]i and PTP.
