title: Effects of monoclonal antibody against phospholamban on calcium pump ATPase of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody against phospholamban has been reported to increase Ca2+ uptake by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. We compared the effect of this antibody on Ca2+ pump ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles to the effect of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of phospholamban. The antibody markedly stimulated the Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity in parallel to the increase in Ca2+ uptake by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. When the Ca(2+)-dependent profile of the ATPase activity was compared, the KCa was shifted from 1.24 to 0.62 microM by the antibody, whereas cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of phospholamban shifted the KCa to 0.84 microM. When cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were treated with both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the antibody, the stimulation was the same as that with the antibody alone. Thus, the Ca2+ pump ATPase seems to be fully activated by the antibody. The stoichiometry between Ca2+ uptake and ATPase rate was around 1 and no significant change was observed by the treatment with the antibody. Therefore, the stimulation of Ca2+ uptake of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum by the antibody occurred by the stimulation of Ca2+ pump ATPase, not by other mechanisms such as channel activity of phospholamban. These results indicate that the binding of the antibody to phospholamban produces essentially the same mode of action on Ca2+ pump ATPase as that of phospholamban phosphorylation. The antibody and phospholamban phosphorylation appear to release the inhibitory action of phospholamban on Ca2+ pump ATPase, resulting in the stimulation of Ca2+ pump.
