title: Reconstitution of an active calcium pump in sarcoplasmic reticulum.
abstract: Recovery of calcium transport and calcium-activated ATPase activity was studied in relation to the retention of protein components in sarcoplasmic reticulum reconstituted after solubilization with deoxycholate and centrifugation, followed by removal of the detergent from the supernatant by dialysis. Control sarcoplasmic reticulum was similarly treated except for omission of deoxycholate. Maximum capacity for oxalate- and phosphate-supported calcium uptake was increased 2- to 3-fold in reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum compared to original and control. Calcium uptake velocity of the reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum was approximately 80% that of original and 90% of control sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium uptake/ATP hydrolysis ratio was approximately 2 in the original sarcoplasmic reticulum and decreased to approximately 1 in the control and reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium storage in the absence of calcium-precipitating anion was approximately 85% in control and 70% in reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum, compared to the original sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid-induced calcium release after phosphate-supported calcium uptake was slower in reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum than in original or control sarcoplasmic reticulum. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of original and control sarcoplasmic reticulum showed similar amounts of protein components of approximately 93,000, 59,000, 50,000, 30,000 to 37,000, and 20,000 to 26,000 daltons. Reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum, however, lost over 85% of the 50,000- and 20,000- to 26,000-dalton proteins while retaining most of its calcium transport functions.
