title: Regulation of the skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump by phospholamban in reconstituted phospholipid vesicles.
abstract: Phospholamban is the regulator of the Ca(2+)-ATPase in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The mechanism of regulation appears to involve inhibition by dephosphorylated phospholamban, and phosphorylation may relieve this inhibition. Fast-twitch skeletal muscle SR does not contain phospholamban, and it is not known whether the Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform from this muscle may be also subject to regulation by phospholamban in a similar manner as the cardiac isoform. To determine this we reconstituted the skeletal isoform of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase with phospholamban in phosphatidylcholine proteoliposomes. Inclusion of phospholamban was associated with significant inhibition of the initial rates of Ca2+ uptake at pCa 6.0, and phosphorylation of phospholamban by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase reversed the inhibitory effects on the Ca2+ pump. Similar effects of phospholamban were also observed using phosphatidylcholine:phosphatidylserine proteoliposomes, in which the Ca2+ pump was activated by the negatively charged phospholipids (24). Regulation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase appeared to involve binding with the hydrophilic portion of phospholamban, as evidenced by cross-linking experiments, using a synthetic peptide that corresponded to amino acids 1-25 of phospholamban. These findings suggest that the fast-twitch isoform of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase may be also regulated by phospholamban, although this regulator is not expressed in fast-twitch skeletal muscles.
