Abstract: | Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were preloaded with unlabeled CaCl2, and 45Ca2+ incorporation into the vesicles was determined by adding 45CaCl2 to the external medium in the presence of ATP and ADP. In the absence of added MgCl2, the steady state rate of the (ATP, ADP)-dependent 45Ca2+ incorporation was extremely low, being in good agreement with that of the Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis which was catalyzed by the membrane-bound (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase. In contrast, it was greatly increased by addition of MgCl2 and became much higher than the steady state rate of the Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis. The kinetic analysis of the results gave support to the probability that the MgCl2 addition markedly shifted the equilibrium of the reaction of Caout . EP and Cain . EP represent phosphoenzymes with bound Ca2+ which is exposed to the external medium and to the internal medium, respectively). |
