Evidence for the influence of the protein-phospholipid interface on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca++ Mg++ ATPase activity.

Abstract

Sarcoplasmic reticulum from the white hind leg muscle of the rabbit was examined with 31P nuclear magnetic resonance as a nonperturbing probe of phospholipid-protein interactions in the intact membrane. The phospholipids of the sarcoplasmic reticulum appear to inhabit two distinct environments: one very similar in behavior to pure phospholipid lamellar dispersions and the other immobilized by the protein in the membrane. Measurement of the population of the latter environment suggests that it is dependent on salt concentration and probably not due to the Ca++ Mg++ ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This immobilization can be removed completely by papain proteolysis of the membrane protein, but only partially by trypsin treatment. The phospholipid composition of recombinants with the Ca++ Mg++ ATPase was varied in order to look for effects of the phospholipid-protein interface on enzymatic activity of the Ca++ Mg++ ATPase. Both transphosphatidylated phosphatidylethanolamine (from egg phosphatidylcholine) and bovine brain phosphatidylserine readily partitioned into the putative boundary layer, whereas under the same conditions soybean phosphatidylethanolamine was excluded. Only phosphatidylserine affected the activity of the enzyme, causing an inhibition that was proportional to the phosphatidylserine content, relative to phosphatidylcholine.
