title: Cyclic GMP regulation of the plasma membrane (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase in vascular smooth muscle.
abstract: Plasma membrane (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase purified from bovine aortic microsomes by calmodulin affinity chromatography was incorporated into soybean phospholipid liposomes. In the reconstituted proteoliposomes, a protein corresponding to the ATPase was phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Both the affinity for Ca2+ and the maximum Ca2+ uptake activity by the proteoliposomes were increased by the cGMP-dependent phosphorylation, and there was good parallelism between the Ca2+-uptake rate and the extent of phosphorylation. These results strongly suggest that the Ca2+-transport ATPase of the vascular smooth muscle plasma membrane is regulated through its cGMP-dependent phosphorylation.
