Abstract

The kinetics of the Ca(2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum have been studied after reconstitution into bilayers of dimyristoleoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C14:1)PC], dioleoylphosphatidylcholine[di(C18:1)PC] and dinervonylphosphatidylcholine [di(C24:1)PC]. In di(C24:1)PC the rate of phosphorylation of the ATPase by ATP was comparable with that in di(C18:1)PC (about 70 s-1), but in di(C14:1)PC the rate was much lower (21 s-1). Fluorescence responses of the ATPase suggest changes in the phosphoryl-transfer step rather than in the preceding conformational change E1Ca2ATP<-->E1'Ca2ATP. The rate of dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated ATPase was found to decrease in the order di(C24:1)PC < di(C14:1)PC < di(C18:1)PC. For the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC the rate of dephosphorylation (3.3 s-1) was slow enough to be the rate-limiting step for ATP hydrolysis; in di(C14:1)PC, it is suggested that both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation contribute to rate limitation. Phosphorylation of the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC by Pi was normal, but no phosphoenzyme could be detected in di(C14:1)PC. The rate of the Ca(2+)-transport step was normal in di(C24:1)PC, suggesting that the single Ca2+ ion bound to the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC could be transported.
