title: Influence of phospholipid fatty acyl composition on sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticular cation transporters.
abstract: Using solubilization/reconstitution techniques, we have investigated the influence of membrane fatty acyl composition on the activities of sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticular transporters. The sarcolemmal Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger and Na+, K(+)-ATPase and the sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2(+)-ATPase were reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine:phosphatidylserine:cholesterol (30:50:20% by weight) proteoliposomes of defined fatty acyl composition. Transport activities varied considerably with phospholipid fatty acyl composition. Quite strikingly, the dependence on membrane fatty acyl composition for all three transporters was identical.
