title: S-100a0 protein stimulates Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release from isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles.
abstract: S-100a0 protein, the alpha alpha-isoform of the S-100 family, stimulates Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release from terminal cisternae isolated from rat skeletal muscle cells. The stimulatory effect of S-100a0 is maximal at approximately 5 microM S-100a0 and half maximal at approximately 0.1 microM S-100a0, at 1.8 microM free Ca2+ in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+ plus 0.1 M KCl. The effect of the protein on Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release is completely inhibited by the calcium release blocker, ruthenium red.
