Crystallization of Ca2+ ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles by phospholipase treatment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ca2+ ATPase molecules in sarcoplasmic reticulum, isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle, have been induced to crystallize into two-dimensional arrays by incubating the vesicles with phospholipase A2 and dialysing against dilute Tris/HCl buffer. These crystals differ in shape and size from those produced by treatment of the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with Na3VO4. However, the unit-cell dimensions of both types of crystals are similar. The differences in shape and size are presumably due to differences in the mechanisms of crystal formation induced by treatment with phospholipase and Na3VO4.

Effect of chemical modification on the crystallization of Ca2+-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The influence of chemical modification on the morphology of crystalline ATPase aggregates was analyzed in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles. The Ca2+-ATPase forms monomer-type (P1) type crystals in the E1 and dimer-type (P2) crystals in the E2 conformation. The P1 type crystals are induced by Ca2+ or lanthanides; P2 type crystals are observed in Ca2+-free media in the presence of vanadate or...
متن کاملThe binding of vanadium (V) oligoanions to sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The binding of monovanadate and decavanadate anions to sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was measured by equilibrium sedimentation. The affinity of vanadate binding and the molar amount of vanadium (V) bound at equilibrium is much greater with decavanadate than with monovanadate. The binding data can be rationalized in terms of one binding site per ATPase molecule for monovanadate and two sites p...
متن کاملCharacterization of Ca2+ release from the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The characteristics of Ca2+ release in relation to Ca2+ binding were studied in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from canine myocardium. The Ca2+ binding appeared to be dependent on ATP as a 4 fold increase in Ca2+ binding was observed upon the addition of ATP. In the presence of a suboptimal ATP concentration (20 mumol/l; without ATP regenerating system) a rapid release of Ca2+ started...
متن کاملHow to make tubular crystals by reconstitution of detergent-solubilized Ca2(+)-ATPase.
In an attempt to better define the parameters governing reconstitution and two-dimensional crystallization of membrane proteins, we have studied Ca2(+)-ATPase from rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum. This ion pump forms vanadate-induced crystals in its native membrane and has previously been reconstituted at high lipid-to-protein ratios for functional studies. We have characterized the reconstitutio...
متن کاملEffect of Ca2+ on the dimeric structure of scallop sarcoplasmic reticulum
Scallop sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), visualized in situ by freeze-fracture and deep-etching, is characterized by long tubes displaying crystalline arrays of Ca2+-ATPase dimer ribbons, resembling those observed in isolated SR vesicles. The orderly arrangement of the Ca2+-ATPase molecules is well preserved in muscle bundles permeabilized with saponin. Treatment with saponin, however, is not neede...
