  • Title: ATP-dependent phosphate transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum and reconstituted proteoliposomes.
    Author: Carley WW, Racker E.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1982 May 19; 680(2):187-93. PubMed ID: 6212081.
    Abstract:
    During uptake of Ca2+ by rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum, about 1 mumol of 32Pi was taken up per mumol 45Ca2+ transported. The uptake of Pi was dependent on external Ca2+, Mg2+ and ATP. Intravesicular Ca2+ did not substitute for external Ca2+. In contrast to the accumulation of Ca2+ which was abolished by the ionophore A23187, the uptake of Pi continued to take place provided sufficient Ca2+ was present in the medium. Thus, a Ca2+ gradient did not seem to be required. Similar observations were made with proteoliposomes reconstituted with membrane preparations of sarcoplasmic reticulum and soybean phospholipids. However, when purified Ca2+ -ATPase was used for reconstitution, there was ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake but no ATP-dependent Pi transport was observed. These data show that the mechanism of Pi transport cannot be a passive movement in response to a Ca2+ gradient but appears to be catalyzed by a specific protein, which is inactivated during purification of the Ca2+ -ATPase. A protein that catalyzes Pi transport in reconstituted vesicles has been solubilized by extraction of sarcoplasmic reticulum with sodium cholate.
