The characteristics of Ca 2+ transport into endoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from roots of Lepidium sativum L. cv Krause have been investigated. The concentration of free Ca 2+ and ATP needed for half-maximal activity were 2.5 and 73 micromolar, respectively, and the enzyme obeyed Michaelis-Menten-like kinetics. The pH maximum occurred at 7.5 and the activity was greatly reduced at either pH 7.0 or 8.0. The Ca2+-dependent modulation protein, calmodulin, was tested for its effect on Ca2+ transport into endoplasmic reticulum vesicles. Although the phenothiazine inhibitors chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, and trifluoperazine all inhibited Ca2+ transport activity with a half-maximal effect at approximately 35 micromolar, authentic bovine brain calmodulin did not alter the activity at concentrations of 0.5 to 8 micrograms per milliliter. Calmodulin also showed no influence on the time-dependent accumulation of Ca2+ into vesicles. The membranes did not contain endogenously bound calmodulin since washing with (ethylenebis[oxyethylenenitrile])tetraacetic acid or fluphenazine, treatments which disrupt calmodulin binding, did not alter Ca2+ transport activity. The inhibition of Ca2+ transport by phenothiazine drugs was likely related to their nonspecific interaction with the membrane. Thus, there was no indication that calmodulin regulated Ca2+ uptake into root endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Purification and functional reconstitution of a calmodulin-stimulated Ca 2+-ATPase from cauliflower ( Brassica oleracea L.) is described. Activity was purified about 120-fold from a microsomal fraction using calmodulin-affinity chromatography. The purified fraction showed a polypeptide at 115 kD, which formed a phosphorylated intermediate in the presence of Ca 2+, together with a few polypeptides with lower molecular masses that were not phosphorylated. The ATPase was reconstituted into liposomes by 3-([cholamidopropyl]-dimethylammonio-)1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) dialysis. The proteoliposomes showed ATP-dependent Ca 2+ uptake and ATPase activity, both of which were stimulated about 4-fold by calmodulin. Specific ATPase activity was about 5 μmol min −1 (mg protein) −1, and the Ca 2+/ATP ratio was 0.1 to 0.5 when the ATPase was reconstituted with entrapped oxalate. The purified, reconstituted Ca 2+-ATPase was inhibited by vanadate and erythrosin B, but not by cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin. Activity was supported by ATP (100%) and GTP (50%) and had a pH optimum of about 7.0. The effect of monovalent and divalent cations (including Ca 2+) on activity is described. Assay of membranes purified by two-phase partitioning indicated that approximately 95% of the activity was associated with intracellular membranes, but only about 5% with plasma membranes. Sucrose gradient centrifugation suggests that the endoplasmic reticulum is the major cellular location of calmodulin-stimulated Ca 2+-pumping ATPase in Brassica oleracea inflorescences. 相似文献

The properties of active or ATP-dependent calcium transport by islet-cell endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane-enriched subcellular fractions were directly compared. These studies indicate that the active calcium transport systems of the two membranes are fundamentally distinct. In contrast to calcium uptake by the endoplasmic reticulum-enriched fraction, calcium uptake by islet-cell plasma membrane-enriched vesicles exhibited a different pH optimum, was not sustained by oxalate, and showed an approximate 30-fold greater affinity for ionized calcium. A similar difference in affinity for calcium was exhibited by the Ca 2+-stimulated ATPase activities which are associated with these islet-cell subcellular fractions. Consistent with the effects of calmodulin on calcium transport, calmodulin stimulated Ca 2+-ATPase in the plasma membranes, but did not increase calcium-stimulated ATPase activity in the endoplasmic reticulum membranes. The physiological significance of the differences observed in calcium transport by the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane fractions relative to the regulation of insulin secretion by the islets of Langerhans is discussed. 相似文献

Ca 2+-ATPases keep cytoplasmic [Ca 2+] low by pumping Ca 2+ into intracellular compartments or out of the cell. The transport properties of Ca 2+-pumping ATPases from carrot ( Daucus carota cv Danvers) tissue culture cells were studied. ATP-dependent Ca 2+ transport in vesicles that comigrated with an endoplasmic reticulum marker, was stimulated three- to fourfold by calmodulin. Cyclopiazonic acid (a specific inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+-ATPase) partially inhibited oxalate-stimulated Ca 2+ transport activity; however, it had no effect on calmodulin-stimulated Ca 2+ uptake driven by ATP or GTP. The results would suggest the presence of two types of Ca 2+-ATPases, an endoplasmic reticulum- and a plasma membrane-type. Interestingly, incubation of membranes with [gamma 32P]ATP resulted in the formation of a single acyl [ 32P]phosphoprotein of 120 kilodaltons. Formation of this phosphoprotein was dependent on Ca 2+, but independent of Mg 2+. Its enhancement by La 3+ is characteristic of a phosphorylated enzyme intermediate of a plasma membrane-type Ca-ATPase. Calmodulin stimulated Ca 2+ transport was decreased by W-7 (a calmodulin antagonist), ML-7 (myosin light chain kinase inhibitor) or thyroxine. Acidic phospholipids, like phosphatidylserine, stimulated Ca 2+ transport, similar to their effect on the erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca 2+-ATPase. These results would indicate that the calmodulin-stimulated Ca 2+ transport originated in large part from a plasma membrane-type Ca 2+ pump of 120 kilodaltons. The possibility of calmodulin-stimulated Ca 2+-ATPases on endomembranes, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and secretory vesicles, as well as the plasma membrane is suggested. 相似文献

The presence of an energy-dependent calcium uptake system in adipocyte endoplasmic reticulum ( D. E. Bruns, J. M. McDonald, and L. Jarett, 1976, J. Biol. Chem.251, 7191–7197) suggested that this organelle might possess a calcium-stimulated transport ATPase. This report describes two types of ATPase activity in isolated microsomal vesicles: a nonspecific, divalent cation-stimulated ATPase (Mg 2+-ATPase) of high specific activity, and a specific, calcium-dependent ATPase (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+-ATPase) of relatively low activity. Mg 2+-ATPase activity was present in preparations of mitochondria and plasma membranes as well as microsomes, whereas the (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase activity appeared to be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum component of the microsomal fraction. Characterization of microsomal Mg 2+-ATPase activity revealed apparent Km values of 115 μm for ATP, 333 μm for magnesium, and 200 μm for calcium. Maximum Mg 2+-ATPase activity was obtained with no added calcium and 1 mm magnesium. Potassium was found to inhibit Mg 2+-ATPase activity at concentrations greater than 100 mm. The energy of activation was calculated from Arrhenius plots to be 8.6 kcal/mol. Maximum activity of microsomal (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase was 13.7 nmol 32P/mg/min, which represented only 7% of the total ATPase activity. The enzyme was partially purified by treatment of the microsomes with 0.09% deoxycholic acid in 0.15 m KCl which increased the specific activity to 37.7 nmol 32P/mg/min. Characterization of (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase activity in this preparation revealed a biphasic dependence on ATP with a Hill coefficient of 0.80. The apparent Kms for magnesium and calcium were 125 and 0.6–1.2 μm, respectively. (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase activity was stimulated by potassium with an apparent Km of 10 mm and maximum activity reached at 100 mm potassium. The energy of activation was 21.5 kcal/mol. The kinetics and ionic requirements of (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase are similar to those of the (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum. These results suggest that the (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase of adipocyte endoplasmic reticulum functions as a calcium transport enzyme. 相似文献

A technique employing sucrose-density centrifugation for the enrichment of rat liver microsomes and rat liver plasma membranes in separate subcellular fractions is described. The fractions are enriched in glucose 6-phosphatase and 5′-nucleotidase, respectively, and are free of cytochrome oxidase activity. Vanadate-sensitive Ca 2+ transport activity (half-maximal inhibition at ~10 μM vanadate, corresponding to ~12 nmol/mg of protein) was detected in only that fraction enriched in microsomal membranes. Inhibition by vanadate of ATP-dependent Ca 2+ transport is noncompetitive with respect to added Ca 2+ but competitive with respect to added ATP. Because it inhibits ATP-dependent Ca 2+ transport in rat liver microsomes but not in rat liver plasma membranes, vanadate becomes a useful tool to distinguish in vitro between these two transport systems. 相似文献

ATP promotes 45Ca uptake by the microsomal fraction from the longitudinal smooth muscle of guinea-pig ileum and this uptake is stimulated by oxalate. As the microsomal fraction is made up of various subcellular entities, we examined the localization of the Ca 2+-transport activity by density gradient centrifugation, taking advantage of the selective effect of digitonin (at low concentration) on the density of plasmalemmal elements. When the 45Ca-uptake activity was measured in the absence of oxalate, its behavior in subfractionation experiments closely paralleled that of the plasmalemmal marker 5′-nucleotidase. In contrast, the additional Ca 2+-transport activity elicited by oxalate behaved like NADH-cytochrome reductase, a putative endoplasmic reticulum marker. The endoplasmic reticulum vesicles constituted only a small part of the membranes in the microsomal fraction, which explains that their Ca 2+-storage capacity was not detectable in the absence of Ca 2+-trapping agent. Low digitonin concentrations selectively increased the Ca 2+ permeability of the plasmalemmal vesicles. The two Ca 2+-transport activities were further differentiated by their distinct sensitivities to K +, vanadate and calmodulin. In this respect, the oxalte-insensitive and oxalate-stimulated Ca 2+-transport systems resembled, respectively, the sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ pumps in cardiac and skeletal muscle, in accordance with the subcellular locations established by density gradient centrifugation. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of polypeptides in membrane fractions from barley ( Hordeum vulgare L. cv CM 72) roots was compared in in vitro and in vivo assays to assess the potential role of protein kinases in modification of membrane transport. Membrane fractions enriched in endoplasmic reticulum, tonoplast, and plasma membrane were isolated using sucrose gradients and the membrane polypeptides separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When the membrane fractions were incubated with γ-[ 32P]ATP, phosphorylation occurred almost exclusively in the plasma membrane fraction. Phosphorylation of a band at 38 kilodaltons increased as the concentration of Mg 2+ was decreased from millimolar to micromolar levels. Phosphorylation of bands at 125, 86, 58, 46, and 28 kilodaltons required millimolar Mg 2+ concentrations and was greatly enhanced by Ca 2+. When roots of intact plants were labeled with [ 32P]orthophosphate, polypeptides at approximately 135, 116, 90, 46 to 53, 32, 28, and 19 kilodaltons were labeled in the plasma membrane fraction and polypeptides at approximately 73, 66, and 48 kilodaltons were labeled in the tonoplast fraction. Treatment of the roots of intact plants with 150 millimolar NaCl resulted in increased phosphorylation of some polypeptides while treatment with 100 m m NaCl had no effect. 相似文献

A proper cooperation between the plasma membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria seems to be essential for numerous cellular processes involved in Ca 2+ signalling and maintenance of Ca 2+ homeostasis. A presence of microsomal and mitochondrial proteins together with those characteristic for the plasma membrane in the fraction of the plasma membrane associated membranes (PAM) indicates a formation of stabile interactions between these three structures. We isolated the plasma membrane associated membranes from Jurkat cells and found its significant enrichment in the plasma membrane markers including plasma membrane Ca 2+-ATPase, Na +, K +-ATPase and CD3 as well as sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ ATPase as a marker of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes. In addition, two proteins involved in the store-operated Ca 2+ entry, Orai1 located in the plasma membrane and an endoplasmic reticulum protein STIM1 were found in this fraction. Furthermore, we observed a rearrangement of STIM1-containing protein complexes isolated from Jurkat cells undergoing stimulation by thapsigargin. We suggest that the inter-membrane compartment composed of the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum, and isolated as a stabile plasma membrane associated membranes fraction, might be involved in the store-operated Ca 2+ entry, and their formation and rebuilding have an important regulatory role in cellular Ca 2+ homeostasis. 相似文献

Distribution of phytochrome (as Pfr) among membranes from soybean hypocotyls ( Glycine max L. cv. Wayne) was determined by the combined techniques of cell fractionation, difference spectrometry, and electron microscopic morphometry. More than 90% of the phytochrome was found in the soluble fraction. With homogenates prepared in the presence or absence of Mg 2+, the portion associated with membrane was only 6.5% and 1%, respectively. In the presence of Mg 2+, the content of particulate phytochrome correlated with the amount of endoplasmic reticulum with attached ribosomes in the fractions but not with mitochondria or other membranes (including endoplasmic reticulum membranes from which the ribosomes may have been lost during cell fractionation). In the absence of Mg 2+, phytochrome was associated with a “heavy” plasma membrane fraction. The phytochrome content was sufficiently low to be accounted for by a contamination of less than 10% by rough-surfaced fragments of endoplasmic reticulum. The findings show association of phytochrome with a particulate fraction enriched in rough-surfaced fragments of endoplasmic reticulum but do not rule out cosedimentation of some unknown or unspecific phytochrome aggregate with this fraction. 相似文献

The importance of extracellular calcium in epidermal differentiation and intra-epidermal cohesion has been recognized for many years. Darier disease (DD) was the first genetic skin disease caused by abnormal epidermal calcium homeostasis to be identified. DD is characterized by loss of cell-to-cell adhesion and abnormal keratinization. DD is caused by genetic defects in ATP2A2 encoding the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+-ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2). SERCA2 is a calcium pump of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transporting Ca 2+ from the cytosol to the lumen of ER. ATP2A2 mutations lead to loss of Ca 2+ transport by SERCA2 resulting in decreased ER Ca 2+ concentration in Darier keratinocytes. Here, we review the role of SERCA2 pumps and calcium in normal epidermis, and we discuss the consequences of ATP2A2 mutations on Ca 2+ signaling in DD. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: 11th European Symposium on Calcium. 相似文献

Microsomal membrane vesicles isolated from the petals of young carnation ( Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv White Sim) flowers accumulate Ca 2+ in the presence of ATP. The specific activity of ATP-dependent uptake is ~20 nanomoles per milligram of protein per 30 minutes. The membranes also hydrolyze ATP, but Ca 2+ stimulation of ATP hydrolysis was not discernible above the high background of Ca 2+-insensitive ATPase activity. The initial velocity of uptake showed a sigmoidal rise with increasing Ca 2+ concentration, suggesting that Ca 2+ serves both as substrate and activator for the enzyme complex mediating its uptake. The concentration of Ca 2+ at half maximal velocity of uptake (S 0.5) was 12.5 micromolar and the Hill coefficient ( nH) was 2.5. The addition of calmodulin to membrane preparations that had been isolated in the presence of chelators did not promote ATP-dependent accumulation of Ca 2+, although this may reflect the fact that the treatment with chelators did not fully remove endogenous calmodulin. Transport of Ca 2+ into membrane vesicles was unaffected by 50 micromolar ruthenium red and 5 micromolar sodium azide, indicating that uptake is primarily into vesicles of non-mitochondrial origin. By subfractionating the microsomes on a linear sucrose gradient, it was established that the ATP-dependent Ca 2+ transport activity comigrates with endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane. During post-harvest development of cut flowers, ATP-dependent uptake of Ca 2+ into microsomal vesicles declined by ~70%. This occurred before the appearance of petal-inrolling and the climacteric-like rise in ethylene production, parameters that denote the onset of senescence. There were no significant changes during this period in S 0.5 or nH, but Vmax for ATP-dependent Ca 2+ uptake decreased by ~40%. A similar decline in ATP-dependent uptake of Ca 2+ into microsomal vesicles was induced by treating young flowers with physiological levels of exogenous ethylene. 相似文献

The steady-state levels of Ca 2+ within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the transport of 45Ca 2+ into isolated ER of barley ( Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) aleurone layers were studied. The Ca 2+-sensitive dye indo-1. Endoplasmic reticulum was isolated and purified from indo-1-loaded protoplasts, and the Ca 2+ level in the ER was measured using the Ca 2+-sensitive dye indo-1. Endoplasmic reticulum was isolated and purified from indo-1-loaded protoplasts, and the Ca 2+ level in the lumen of the ER was determined by the fluorescence-ratio method to be at least 3 M. Transport of 45Ca 2+ into the ER was studied in microsomal fractions isolated from aleurone layers incubated in the presence and absence of gibberellic acid (GA 3) and Ca 2+. Isopycinic sucrose density gradient centrifugation of microsomal fractions isolated from aleurone layers or protoplasts separates ER from tonoplast and plasma membranes but not from the Golgi apparatus. Transport of 45Ca 2+ occurs primarily in the microsomal fraction enriched in ER and Golgi. Using monensin and heat-shock treatments to discriminate between uptake into the ER and Golgi, we established that 45Ca 2+ transport was into the ER. The sensitivity of 45Ca 2+ transport to inhibitors and the K m of 45Ca 2+ uptake for ATP and Ca 2+ transport in the microsomal fraction of barley aleurone cells. The rate of 45Ca 2+ transport is stimulated several-fold by treatment with GA 3. This effect of GA 3 is mediated principally by an effect on the activity of the Ca 2+ transporter rather than on the amount of ER.Abbreviations CCR

Previous data from our laboratory showed that the reticulum of the sea cucumber smooth muscle body wall retains both a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+-ATPase (SERCA) and a sulfated polysaccharide. In this invertebrate, the transport of Ca 2+ by the SERCA is naturally inhibited by these endogenous sulfated polysaccharides. The inhibition is reverted by K + leading to an enhancement of the Ca 2+ transport rate. We now show that vesicles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum of unfertilized eggs from the sea urchin Arbacia lixula retain a SERCA that is able to transport Ca 2+ at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. As described for the sea cucumber SERCA isoform, the enzyme from the sea urchin is activated by K + but not by Li + and is inhibited by thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of SERCA. A new sulfated polysaccharide was identified in the sea urchin eggs reticulum composed mainly by galactose, glucose, hexosamine and manose. After extraction and purification, this sulfated polysaccharide was able to inhibit the mammal SERCA isoform found in rabbit skeletal muscle and the inhibition is reversed by K +. These data suggest that the regulation of the SERCA pump by K + and sulfated polysaccharides is not restricted to few marine invertebrates but is widespread. 相似文献

The subcellular localization and biochemical characterization of calcium transport were studied in the unicellular green alga Mesotaenium caldariorum. Membrane fractions prepared by osmotic lysis of Mesotaenium protoplasts exhibit high rates of ATP-dependent calcium uptake. Sucrose gradient centrifugation separates two pools of activity, which display specific activities for calcium transport as high as 15 nanomoles Ca 2+ per minute per milligram of protein. Marker enzyme analysis shows that this dual distribution of calcium transport activity is similar to that of vanadate-insensitive ATPase and pyrophosphatase, activities considered to be associated with the tonoplast. Plasma membranes, endoplasmic reticulum vesicles, mitochondrial membranes, and thylakoids band at higher densities than either calcium transport fraction. Both pools of ATP-dependent calcium uptake contain two components which are not separable on sucrose gradients but can be distinguished on the basis of inhibitor sensitivity. One component is inhibited by nigericin or trimethyltin chloride (I 50 values of 3 nanomolar and 4 micromolar, respectively), while the other component is vanadate sensitive (I 50 of 25 micromolar). These results suggest that direct Ca 2+ transport and Ca 2+/H + antiport activities are present in both sucrose gradient fractions. 相似文献

Procedures have been developed which allow the preparation of highly pure endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane from tendrils of Bryonia dioica. These and further membrane fractions were used to study vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity as well as Mg 2+ATP-driven transport of 45Ca 2+. Calcium-translocating ATPases were detected in the endoplasmic reticulum, the plasma membrane and the mitochondrial fraction and characterized kinetically and with respect to the effects of various inhibitors. The endoplasmic-reticulum Ca 2+-translocating ATPase was stimulated by KCl and was calmodulin-dependent. The plasma-membrane enzyme was not affected by these agents. These, as well as the inhibitor data, show that the Ca 2+-translocating ATPases of the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane are distinctly different enzymes. Upon mechanical stimulation, the activities of the vanadate-sensitive K +, Mg 2+-ATPase and the Ca 2+-translocating ATPase(s) increased rapidly and transiently, indicating that increasing transmembrane proton and calcium fluxes are involved in the early stages of tendril coiling.Abbreviations CAM

Two types of ATP-dependent calcium (Ca 2+) transport systems were detected in sealed microsomal vesicles from oat roots. Approximately 80% of the total Ca 2+ uptake was associated with vesicles of 1.11 grams per cubic centimeter and was insensitive to vanadate or azide, but inhibited by NO 3−. The remaining 20% was vanadate-sensitive and mostly associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, as the transport activity comigrated with an endoplasmic reticulum marker (antimycin A-insensitive NADH cytochrome c reductase), which was shifted from 1.11 to 1.20 grams per cubic centimeter by Mg 2+. Like the tonoplast H+-ATPase activity, vanadate-insensitive Ca2+ accumulation was stimulated by 20 millimolar Cl− and inhibited by 10 micromolar 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-stilbene disulfonic acid or 50 micromolar N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. This Ca2+ transport system had an apparent Km for Mg-ATP of 0.24 millimolar similar to the tonoplast ATPase. The vanadate-insensitive Ca2+ transport was abolished by compounds that eliminated a pH gradient and Ca2+ dissipated a pH gradient (acid inside) generated by the tonoplast-type H+-ATPase. These results provide compelling evidence that a pH gradient generated by the H+-ATPase drives Ca2+ accumulation into right-side-out tonoplast vesicles via a Ca2+/H+ antiport. This transport system was saturable with respect to Ca2+ (Km apparent = 14 micromolar). The Ca2+/H+ antiport operated independently of the H+-ATPase since an artifically imposed pH gradient (acid inside) could also drive Ca2+ accumulation. Ca2+ transport by this system may be one major way in which vacuoles function in Ca2+ homeostasis in the cytoplasm of plant cells. 相似文献

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rat liver display an ATP-supported Ca 2+ transport which is mediated by a (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase. During the catalytic cycle the terminal phosphate from ATP is incorporated to form an acid-precipitable reaction product(118 000-M r in SDS-gel electrophoresis) with stability characteristics of an acylphosphate. Comparative studies with sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from fast-twitch skeletal muscle suggest that the 118 000-M r phosphopeptide may be identified with the phosphorylated reaction intermediate of a Ca 2+ transport ATPase in endoplasmic reticulum, similar to that in sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle. 相似文献

The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ ATPase 1 (SERCA 1) is able to handle the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis in such a way as to determine the parcel of energy that is used for Ca 2+ transport and the fraction that is converted into heat. In this work we measured the heat production by SERCA 1 in the two sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) fractions: the light fraction (LSR), which is enriched in SERCA and the heavy fraction (HSR), which contains both the SERCA and the ryanodine Ca 2+ channel. We verified that although HSR cleaved ATP at faster rate than LSR, the amount of heat released during ATP hydrolysis by HSR was smaller than that measured by LSR. Consequently, the amount of heat released per mol of ATP cleaved (ΔH cal) by HSR was lower compared to LSR. In HSR, the addition of 5 mM Mg 2+ or ruthenium red, conditions that close the ryanodine Ca 2+ channel, promoted a decrease in the ATPase activity, but the amount of heat released during ATP hydrolysis remained practically the same. In this condition, the ΔH cal values of ATP hydrolysis increased significantly. Neither Mg 2+ nor ruthenium red had effect on LSR. Thus, we conclude that heat production by SERCA 1 depends on the region of SR in which the enzyme is inserted and that in HSR, the ΔH cal of ATP hydrolysis by SERCA 1 depends on whether the ryanodine Ca 2+ channel is opened or closed. 相似文献
