title: How phospholamban could affect the apparent affinity of Ca(2+)-ATPase for Ca(2+) in kinetic experiments.
abstract: Binding of phospholamban (PLN) to the Ca(2+)-ATPase of muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum results in a decrease in apparent affinity for Ca(2+) without affecting the true binding constant for Ca(2+) determined in equilibrium binding experiments. It is shown that this can be explained by a scheme in which the ATPase shows two modes of binding for PLN, one of high and one of low affinity; the proposed scheme is not dependent on the kinetic model assumed for the Ca(2+)-ATPase.
