The effect of calcium on pregnenolone formation from endogenous precursors has been studied in mitochondria from rat decapsulated and capsular adrenalgglands. In the presence of succinate, addition of calcium chloride in the concentration range 20–150 μM caused an inhibition of pregnenolone formation of added deoxycosticosterone in decapsulated adrenal mitochondria was also inhibited. Under these conditions, calcium inhibited the reduction of adrenodoxin, a component of the cytochromeP-450 reductase system, presumably because uptake of calcium by the mitochondria competes with energy-linked transhydrogenase for high-energy intermediates. For this reason, incubations were carried out in the presence of succinate plus isocitrate plus NADP+. Under these conditions, calcium chloride in the concentration range 120–875 μM caused a 2–4-fold stimulation of pregnenolone formation, but had no effect on corticosterone formation from added deoxycorticosterone.The effect of calcium on the optical spectra of cytochromeP-450 has also been examined in mitochondria from decapsulated and capsular rat adrenals. In the presence of succinate, calcium induced a spectral change resembling a type I difference spectrum of cytochromeP-450. Thus it appears that uptake of calcium the interaction of mitochondrial cytochromeP-450 with endogenous substrate.
