title: Inhibition of Ca2+-dependent protein kinase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase in cardiac sarcolemma by the anti-calmodulin drug calmidazolium.
abstract: Sarcolemma (SL) vesicles, isolated from pig heart, contain both a Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM-PK) and a Ca2+-dependent Mg2+-ATPase (Ca2+/Mg2+)-ATPase). Some of their properties have been compared: their affinity for Ca2+ ions, dependence on exogenous calmodulin (CaM) and sensitivity to the anti-CaM drug calmidazolium (R24571). The properties of Ca2+-CaM-dependent brain phosphodiesterase (PDE) have also been examined. R24571 appeared to be the most potent inhibitor from brain PDE. For the three enzymes studied, exogenously added CaM was able to antagonize the R24571 inhibition, although the efficiency to counteract was rather low in the case of the SL Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase. R24571 decreased the affinity of the Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase for Ca2+ ions (KCa 0.35 versus 0.75 microM) and exerted an inhibition non-competitive with Ca2+ ions on the other CaM-dependent enzymes. Membrane-bound CaM, which is involved in controlling the Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase, appeared to be present in a stoichiometry varying from 1:1 to 1:4 compared to the 32P-intermediate of the ATPase. R24571 treatment of SL vesicles selectively solubilized a number of proteins in the molecular range of 13-20 kD, which may include CaM. The results suggest that different mechanisms are involved in the CaM control of the two SL enzymes studied.
