title: [Calmodulin-dependent regulation of Ca,Mg-ATPase activity in plasma membranes of the swine myometrium].
abstract: Highly purified plasma membrane (PM) preparations of pig myometrium were found to contain 0.91 +/- 0.22 microgram calmodulin per mg of PM protein. Treatment of membranes with 1 mM EGTA in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl causes the diminution of the calmodulin content down to 3% of the original level. The activity of Ca, Mg-ATPase is thereby decreased by 40%. Exogenous calmodulin restores the enzyme activity up to 1.94 +/- +/- 0.30 mumol Pi/mg protein/hour. The maximal activation of Ca, Mg-ATPase is observed with 10(-7) M calmodulin. Calmodulin increases the total ATPase activity of myometrium PM without affecting the Mg-ATPase activity. Trifluoroperazine (20 microM) diminishes the activating effect of exogenous calmodulin on Ca, Mg-ATPase. Calmodulin stimulates Ca, Mg-ATPase at low concentrations of Ca2+(10(-8)-10(-6) M) by decreasing Km for Ca2+ from 0.4.10(-6) M to 2.10(-8) M as well as by increasing Vmax--from 0,8 to 1.42 mumol Pl/mg protein/hour. It is supposed that the activating effect of calmodulin on Ca, Mg-ATPase is based on electrostatic interactions of Ca2+-free calmodulin with the enzyme.
