title: Role of sarcoplasmic reticulum phospholipids in calcium ion binding activity.
abstract: The relationship between sarcoplasmic reticulum phospholipid and Ca(2+) binding by sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes was explored. Ca(2+) bound in the absence of ATP was defined as "ATP-independent Ca(2+) binding," and the additional amount of Ca(2+) bound in the presence of ATP was defined as "ATP-dependent Ca(2+) binding." The latter was found to be very sensitive to the loss of sarcoplasmic reticulum phospholipid; the amount of Ca(2+) bound was reduced when as little as 3% of the phospholipid was destroyed by phospholipase C. Further destruction of membrane phospholipid up to a 40% loss caused little or no further reduction of this Ca(2+) binding. However, when the destruction of phospholipid exceeded 40%, further loss of this Ca(2+) binding occurred, and there was an almost complete loss of this function when more than 60% of the sarcoplasmic reticulum phospholipid was destroyed.
