Table 1 Determination of Ca2+-fluxes in partially purified storage compartments of the iplA - mutant and of wild type. Ca2+-sequestering vesicles were prepared as outlined in Methods. Measurements were performed with the pellet and supernatant fraction. ATP-induced uptake and release activated by different agents is given as nmol Ca2+-uptake/min and mg of protein and pmol Ca2+-release/tube, respectively (mean ± s.d.). In release experiments 60–75 μl of pellet and 120–140 μl of supernatant fraction were used per tube. Numbers in brackets give number of experiments; n.d.: not determined.
