Acid-induced uncoupling of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes is reversed by reconstitution

Mild acid treatment of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes results in a first order decline in calcium transport activity while calcium stimulated ATPase activity remains unimpaired (Berman, M.C., McIntosh, D.B. and Kench, K.E. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252 994–1001). This uncoupling is apparently irrevers...

Zusammenfassung:Mild acid treatment of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes results in a first order decline in calcium transport activity while calcium stimulated ATPase activity remains unimpaired (Berman, M.C., McIntosh, D.B. and Kench, K.E. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252 994–1001). This uncoupling is apparently irreversible. Acid inactivated sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes, solubilized with Triton X-100 and reconstituted by passage through a Bio-Bead column, reactivated 80% of the calcium transport activity when compared with untreated, control reconstituted SR vesicles. It is suggested that the inactivated conformation of the (Ca 2+, Mg 2+-)ATPase is constrained by lipid-protein interactions.
