Abstract:
:The binding of Ca2+ and the resulting change in catalytic specificity that allows phosphorylation of the calcium ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum by ATP were examined by measuring the amount of phosphoenzyme formation from [32P]ATP, or 45Ca incorporation into vesicles, after the simultaneous addition of ATP and EGTA at different times after mixing enzyme and Ca2+ (25 degrees C, pH 7.0, 5 mM MgSO4, 0.1 M KCl). A "burst" of calcium binding in the presence of high [Ca2+] gives approximately 12% phosphorylation and internalization of two Ca2+ at very short times after the addition of Ca2+ with this assay. This shows that calcium binding sites are available on the cytoplasmic-facing side of the free enzyme. Calcium binding to these sites induces the formation of cE.Ca2, the stable high-affinity form of the enzyme, with k = 40 s-1 at saturating [Ca2+] and a half-maximal rate at approximately 20 microM Ca2+ (from Kdiss = 7.4 X 10(-7) M for Ca.EGTA). The formation of cE.Ca2 through a "high-affinity" pathway can be described by the scheme E 1 in equilibrium cE.Ca1 2 in equilibrium cE.Ca2, with k1 = 3 X 10(6) M-1 s-1, k2 = 4.3 X 10(7) M-1 s-1, k-1 = 30 s-1, k-2 = 60 s-1, K1 = 9 X 10(-6) M, and K2 = 1.4 X 10(-6) M. The approach to equilibrium from E and 3.2 microM Ca2+ follows kobsd = kf + kr = 18 s-1 and gives kf = kr = 9 s-1. The rate of exchange of 45Ca into the inner position of cE.Ca2 shows an induction period and is not faster than the approach to equilibrium starting with E and 45Ca. The dissociation of 45Ca from the inner position of cE.45Ca.Ca in the presence of 3.2 microM Ca2+ occurs with a rate constant of 7 s-1. These results are inconsistent with a slow conformational change of free E to give cE, followed by rapid binding-dissociation of Ca2+.
