  • Title: The site of action of La3+ in the reaction cycle of the human red cell membrane Ca2+-pump ATPase.
    Author: Luterbacher S, Schatzmann HJ.
    Journal: Experientia; 1983 Mar 15; 39(3):311-2. PubMed ID: 6130967.
    Abstract:
    Lanthanum (La3+) inhibits the Ca-pump of the red cell by arresting the protein in a phosphorylated form (PI). Similar La3+ concentrations are required to increase the amount of PI and to stop PI-decay. In the presence of La3+ phosphorylation becomes insensitive to Mg2+. PI made in the presence of Mg2+ is not prevented from decaying by subsequent addition of La3+, whereas that made in the absence of Mg2+ is. Taken together, these findings seem to indicate that La3+ blocks the transition between a 1st and a 2nd form of PI.
