title: Induction by nucleotide triphosphate hydrolysis of a form of sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase capable of medium phosphate-oxygen exchange in presence of calcium.
abstract: Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles rendered leaky by exposure to alkaline pH, like intact vesicles, catalyze a rapid Mg2+-dependent exchange of oxygens of medium Pi with water. The exchange with 10 mM Pi is strongly inhibited by 0.15 mM Ca2+. Upon addition and hydrolysis of ITP or ATP, a rapid phosphate-oxygen exchange is observed even with 0.15 mM Ca2+ present and a definite but smaller exchange at 8 mM Ca2+. Oxygen exchange per Pi formed is greater with ITP than with ATP. When no Pi is initially present, the extent of oxygen exchange is increased with time of incubation as Pi is formed. With 18O-labeled Pi present, ATP hydrolysis accelerates 18O loss. The results show that much of the oxygen exchange occurs as a result of reversible binding of medium Pi. Thus the binding and cleavage of ITP or ATP overcomes the Ca2+ inhibition of the medium Pi in equilibrium HOH exchange. Such findings support the concept that the cleavage cycle includes a transient conformational form which can reversibly react with Pi to give a phosphoryl enzyme and resultant oxygen exchange or in a rate-limiting step decay to a form with high Ca2+ and NTP affinity.
