We investigated the role of intracellular Mg2+ (Mgi2+) on the ATP regulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in squid axons and bovine heart. In squid axons and nerve vesicles, the ATP-upregulated exchanger remains activated after removal of cytoplasmic Mg2+, even in the absence of ATP. Rapid and complete deactivation of the ATP-stimulated exchange occurs upon readmission of Mgi2+. At constant ATP concentration, the effect of intracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) on the ATP regulation of exchanger is biphasic: activation at low [Mg2+]i, followed by deactivation as [Mg2+]i is increased. No correlation was found between the above results and the levels of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] measured in nerve membrane vesicles. Incorporation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 into membrane vesicles activates Na+/Ca2+ exchange in mammalian heart but not in squid nerve. Moreover, an exogenous phosphatase prevents MgATP activation in squid nerves but not in mammalian heart. It is concluded that 1) Mgi2+ is an essential cofactor for the deactivation part of ATP regulation of the exchanger and 2) the metabolic pathway of ATP upregulation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger is different in mammalian heart and squid nerves.
