Effective reconstitution of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase using lubrol PX]

Ca2(+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum was reconstituted in the proteoliposomes by the salting out procedure. Triton X-100, C12E8 and Lubrol PX were used for the solubilization of the Ca2(+)-ATPase. Using fluorescent probes (diS-C3-(5), chlortetracycline) as well pH-measuring method, the functional of the reconstituted Ca2(+)-ATPase was comparatively studied in three types of proteoliposomes. The efficiency of Ca2(+)-ATPase grew in the following detergent order: Triton X-100, C12E8, Lubrol PX.
