title: Changes in affinity for calcium ions with the formation of two kinds of phosphoenzyme in the Ca2+,Mg2+-dependent ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum.
abstract: The amount of Ca2+ bound to the Ca2+,Mg2+-dependent ATPase of deoxycholic acid-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum was measured during ATP hydrolysis by the double-membrane filtration method [Yamaguchi, M. & Tonomura, Y. (1979), J. Biochem. 86, 509--523]. The maximal amount of phosphorylated intermediate (EP) was adopted as the amount of active site of the ATPase. In the absence of ATP, 2 mol of Ca2+ bound cooperatively to 1 mol of active site with high affinity and were removed rapidly by addition of EGTA. AMPPNP did not affect the Ca2+ binding to the ATPase in the presence of MgCl2. Under the conditions where most EP and ADP sensitive at steady state (58 microM Ca2+, 50 microM EGTA, and 20 mM MgCl2 at pH 7.0 and 0 degrees C), bound Ca2+ increased by 0.6--0.7 mol per mol active site upon addition of ATP. The time course of decrease in the amount of bound 45Ca2+ on addition of unlabeled Ca2+ + EGTA was biphasic, and 70% of bound 45Ca2+ was slowly displaced with a rate constant similar to that of EP decomposition. Similar results were obtained for the enzyme treated with N-ethylmaleimide, which inhibits the step of conversion of ADP-sensitive EP to the ADP-insensitive one. Under the conditions where most EP was ADP insensitive at steady state (58 microM Ca2+, 30 microM EGTA, and 20 mM MgCl2 at pH 8.8 and 0 degrees C), the amount of bound Ca2+ increased slightly, then decreased slowly by 1 mol per mol of EP formed after addition of ATP. Under the conditions where about a half of EP was ADP sensitive (58 microM Ca2+, 25 microM EGTA, and 1 mM MgCl2 at pH 8.8 and 0 degrees C), the amount of bound Ca2+ did not change upon addition of ATP. These findings suggest that the Ca2+ bound to the enzyme becomes unremovable by EGTA upon formation of ADP-sensitive EP and is released upon its conversion to ADP-insensitive EP.
