title: Formation and decay of the vanadate complex of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transport protein.
abstract: The calcium free sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPase incorporates in the presence of magnesium ions approx. 8 nmol monovanadate per mg protein, indicating the formation of a complex containing one vanadate residue per enzyme molecule. On ligand-removal or dilution, the saturated enzyme complex displays biphasic decay kinetics, while the unsaturated complex slowly dissociates monophasically. -Ligand competition by raising the concentrations of unlabeled vanadate results in a progressive decrease of the dissociation rate of the unsaturated enzyme. The complicated dissociation kinetics indicate a sequential mode of interaction between two ligand binding sites. The one to one stoichiometry of the complex suggests that the two sites are located at adjacent ATPase molecules. -It appears unlikely that the decay of the enzyme, vanadate complex is retarded by the formation of a stable quaternary complex between the enzyme, magnesium, mono- and polyvanadate.
