title: Evidence against involvement of the human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase in Ca2+-dependent K+ transport.
abstract: Two tests were performed to assess the relationship between the Ca2+-activated K+ channel and the Ca2+-pumping ATPase in human erythrocytes. Antibodies against the purified ATPase inhibited the ATPase in resealed erythrocytes, but had no effect on the K+ channel (as assessed by Rb+ efflux). Reconstituted liposomes containing the purified active Ca2+-pumping ATPase showed no Ca2+-activated Rb+ influx. Both of these results suggest that some molecule other than the Ca2+-ATPase is responsible for the K+ channel.
