Popis: The initial rate of both Ca2+ and Mn2+ uptake is inhibited by ruthenium red to about the same extent as by equivalent concentrations of La3+. The inhibition of Ca2+ uptake, however, is relieved during further incubation with ruthenium red. On preincubating the cells with ruthenium red even a stimulation of divalent cation uptake can be found. Relieve of the inhibition of divalent cation uptake is accompanied by K+ efflux. Both ruthenium red and La3+ displace Ca2+ very effectively from binding sites at the cell surface. The inhibition of initial Ca2+ uptake is accompanied by a reduction in the binding of Ca2+.
