title: [Localization of Mg2+-ATPase in the membranes of the skeletal muscles and myocardium of the frog Rana temporaria].
abstract: Using differential centrifugation in sucrose density gradient, from muscles of the frog fractions were obtained which contain fragments of sarcolemma, as well as membranes of T-system tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum. In isolated membrane fractions, studies were made on the activity of cation-stimulated ATPases (Na+, K+-, Ca2+, Mg2+- and Mg2+-ATPases). Enzymic and electrophoretic analyses showed that the highest content of Mg2+-ATPases is typical of the fractions which are located on the surface of 35% sucrose. The data obtained indicate that Mg2+-ATPase is the enzyme which is specific for the membranes of T-system tubules in skeletal muscles of not only birds but amphibians as well. From cardiac muscle of the frog, membrane fraction was isolated which is similar (with respect to its predominant content of Mg2+-ATPase) to the membranes of T-system tubules. It is suggested that the presence of Mg2+-ATPase in these membranes is a common property of phasic striated muscle fibers in all mature vertebrate animals.
