title: [Concentration of components of the adenylate system in heavy and light fractions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscles and sensitivity of these fractions to the effects of imidazole-containing compounds and caffeine].
abstract: Fragments of sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit sceletal muscles sedimented within the range from 2000 g to 8000 g (heavy fraction) and 8000 g to 40000 g (light fraction) and washed with 0.6 M KCl, were practically free of adenylatecyclase activity. Phosphodiesterase cAMP was not found in the light fraction, while its activity in the heavy fraction was 500 pmol of cAMP/min per mg of protein. Both fractions contain bound cAMP (1-2 pmol/mg of protein) and specific sites of cAMP binding, the binding constant being approximately 10(6)M-1. The number of binding sites is 60 pmol/mg of protein for the heavy and 30 pmol/mg of protein for the light fractions. The level of phosphodiesterase activity in the heavy fraction correlates with its sensitivity to imidazole, anserine and caffeine. Imidazole and anserine increase in 1.5-1.8 times the value of Ca2+/ATP in the heavy fraction and produce no effect on Ca2+ transport by the light fraction. Caffeine decreases almost twice the Ca2+/ATP value in the heavy fraction and has practically no effect on Ca2+ absorption by enzymes of the light reticulum fraction. Imidazole and anserine activate membrane-bound phosphodiesterase, while caffeine inhibits it. It is suggested that structural rearrangements of membrane-bound phosphodiesterase under the effect of caffeine, imidazole and anserine are responsible for changes in the efficiency of Ca2+ transport by fragments of the heavy reticulum fractions.
