Table 3. Enzyme activity.
Enzyme | A23187 | Hydrolytic activity(µmol Pi / (mg·min)) | Turnover rate(s-1) | |
Total protein | SERCA only | |||
Native SERCA | present | 4.3±0.1 | ∼8.5 | 15.6 |
absent | 0.68±0.08 | ∼1.4 | 2.6 | |
Native Na,K-ATPase | --- | 11.8±0.7 | --- | 30 |
Recombinant SERCA (WT) | present | 0.28±0.04 | ∼9 | 16.5 |
absent | 0.15±0.02 | ∼0.5 | 0.9 |
Hydrolytic activity values, with the corresponding turnover rates, determined for native SERCA, native Na,K-ATPase and recombinant SERCA (WT) at 37°C. In the case of SERCA, the presence or absence of 2 µM calcium ionophore (A23187) is specified, and the activity values are expressed with respect to the total protein or to SERCA only (see text).
