title: Regulation of the nucleotide dependence of the cardiac sarcolemma Ca(2+)-ATPase.
abstract: The nucleotide dependence of the Ca(2+)-ATPase purified from cardiac sarcolemma by calmodulin-affinity chromatography was investigated for preparations either in the basal state or activated by three procedures: (i) addition of calmodulin; (ii) addition of phosphatidylserine and (iii) controlled proteolysis. Upon activation, the maximal velocity of ATP hydrolysis increases by a factor of 4-5, while the curves of ATP dependence of ATP hydrolysis change from hyperbolic to biphasic, revealing the presence of two Kmapp for ATP. A tight coupling between Ca2+ and ATP binding sites was also observed. At high ATP concentration, the ATPase activity of the basal state shows a complex dependence on Ca2+ concentration, increasing sharply at millimolar Ca2+. Our results indicate that this increase in ATPase activity is paralleled by the appearance of a second, low affinity Kmapp for ATP. When only the high affinity site for ATP is occupied the ATPase activity of the basal state displays a simple, hyperbolic dependence on the Ca2+ concentration. In addition, increasing Ca2+ concentration appears to decrease the ATP binding at the low affinity site of the enzyme. The effect of ADP on ATP hydrolysis was also examined. The finding that ADP is a potent inhibitor of the purified Ca(2+)-ATPase from heart suggests that the stimulatory action of ADP observed in cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles is not an intrinsic property of the enzyme.
