    Abstract:
    The functional role of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the process of energy supply for the Ca2+-ATPase reaction and ion transport across the membrane of heart sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) has been studied. It has been shown that isolated and purified preparations of heart SR contain significant activity of CPK. The localization of CPK on the membrane of SR has been revealed also by an electron microscopic histochemical method. Under conditions of the Ca+-ATPase reaction in the presence of creatine phosphate the release of creatine into the reaction medium is observed, the rate of the latter process being dependent upon the MgATP concentration in accordance with the kinetic parameters of the Ca2+-ATPase reaction. CPK localized on the SR membrane is able to maintain higher rate of calcium uptake by SR vesicles, as compared to that with added ATP-regenerating system. The results obtained demonstrate the close functional coupling between CPK and Ca2+-ATPase in the membrane of SR.
