title: Early presence of phospholamban in developing a chick heart.
abstract: Phosphorylation of phospholamban and development of reticular Ca2+ transport were studied in crude membrane preparations of embryonic, newborn and adult chick heart. Maximal phosphorylation of phospholamban by added catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase increases from embryonic day 4-15. It decreases with further development. In the same membrane preparations active Ca2+-uptake into vesicles of sarcoplasmic reticulum rises from day 4-7 and decreases then slightly until day 20. A several-fold increase in Ca2+-transport activity occurs at the time of hatching. The data indicate separate genetic control for synthesis of phospholamban and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase.
