Letters A–F correspond to the reactions in panels A–F of Fig. 1, where forward and reverse rate constants are denoted by k+i and k−i (i = 1, 2, 3, or 4), respectively. Rates for reactions A, B, C, and E were adjusted to 18°C from those given in Baylor and Hollingworth (1998) and Hollingworth et al. (2000) (Q10 = 2), except for the reaction rates of fluo-3 with protein in B (see materials and methods). Rates for reactions D and F are described in materials and methods. (A) The forward rate for ATP, indicated by an asterisk, is an apparent rate constant in the presence of 1 mM free [Mg2+] (pH = 7, viscosity = 2 centipoise, [K+] = 0.15 M; see Baylor and Hollingworth, 1998). (C) At 50 nM [Ca2+] and 1 mM free [Mg2+], the steady-state occupancy of parvalbumin is 25.8% with Ca2+ and 68.0% with Mg2+; 6.2% is metal-free. (D) The four states of the SR Ca2+ pump are denoted E, CaE, CaE′, and Ca2E′; the parentheses in the fourth line indicate that two Ca2+ ions are released into the lumen of the SR. (E and F) Reaction F is mathematically equivalent to reaction E if (a) the total troponin concentration in reaction F is half that in reaction E, and (b) the values of k−1 and k−2 in Table III F are reduced 20-fold and increased 20-fold, respectively.
