title: Separation of active and inactive (nonphosphorylating) Ca(2+)-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum subfractions from low-frequency-stimulated rabbit muscle.
abstract: Chronic low-frequency stimulation elicits in rabbit fast-twitch muscle a partial inactivation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-uptake activities. Inactive Ca(2+)-ATPase was enriched in a light microsomal fraction by sucrose density gradient centrifugation after calcium oxalate loading in the presence of ATP. This fraction showed a reduced specific activity and phosphoprotein formation of the Ca(2+)-transport ATPase. These results suggest that the inactivation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase as induced by increased contractile activity, is confined to a specific SR vesicle population.
