title: Mechanism of allosteric regulation of the Ca,Mg-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum: studies with 5'-adenylyl methylenediphosphate.
abstract: Four mechanisms for the allosteric regulation of the calcium and magnesium ion activated adenosinetriphosphatase (Ca,Mg-ATPase) of sarcoplasmic reticulum were examined. Negative cooperativity in substrate binding was not supported by 3H-labeled 5'-adenylyl methylenediphosphate (AMPPCP) binding, which was best fit by a single class of sites. Although calcium had no effect on the absence of cooperativity, it did increase the affinity of the enzyme for AMPPCP. Allosteric regulation via an effector site for AMPPCP or ATP on the same ATPase chain was eliminated by the stoichiometry of ATP and AMPPCP binding, 1 mol of site per mole of enzyme. The possibility that AMPPCP acts at an effector site was eliminated by showing that it competitively inhibits the rate of phosphoenzyme formation. Allosteric regulation of kinetics via site-site interaction in an oligomer was eliminated by showing that the inhibition of ATPase activity by fluorescein isothiocyanate is linearly dependent upon its incorporation into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The fourth mechanism considered was stimulation of ATPase activity by the binding of ATP or AMPPCP at the active site after departure of ADP but before the departure of inorganic phosphate. This hypothesis was supported by site stoichiometry and by the observation that AMPPCP or ATP stimulates v/EP, the rate of ATP hydrolysis for a given level of phosphoenzyme. Computer simulation of this branched monomeric model could duplicate all experimental observations made with AMPPCP and ATP as allosteric regulators. The condition that the affinity of ATP binding to the enzyme be reduced when it is phosphorylated, which is required by the computer model, was confirmed experimentally.
