    The effects of caffeine and procaine on the Ca2+-gated cation channel in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles were studied by measuring choline influx. The choline influx in SR vesicles was measured by following the change in light scattering intensity using a stopped flow apparatus. From the kinetic analysis of the rate of choline influx, the following results were obtained. (1) The rate of choline influx was enhanced when Ca2+ bound to the Ca2+-receptor site of the Ca2+-gated cation channel. (2) Caffeine enhanced the choline influx by increasing only the affinity of Ca2+ for the receptor site of the channel and thus regulated the equilibrium between open and closed states of the channel. The affinity increased about 14-fold upon caffeine binding. The dissociation constant of caffeine was 10 mM. (3) In contrast, procaine itself blocked the choline influx mediated by the Ca2+-gated cation channel. The blockade followed a single-site titration curve with a Ca2+-dependent dissociation constant of 0.44 mM at 2 x 10(-6) M Ca2+. The Ca2+-dependence was explained by assuming that procaine would bind to the inhibitory site only when the channel was open. (4) Procaine also inhibited the choline influx enhanced by caffeine. The blockade could be explained on the basis of the above kinetic model.
