Abstract
Digestion of red cell membranes with chymotrypsin elicited p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity. During digestion, the p-nitrophenylphosphatase appeared in parallel with the activation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase (in the absence of calmodulin). The chymotrypsin-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase was inhibited by C20W, a 20 amino acid peptide modelled after the sequence of the calmodulin-binding site of the red cell Ca2+ pump (Vorherr et al. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 355-365). On the contrary, the (ATP + Ca(2+)-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of intact red cell membranes was not affected by C20W. Ca2+ inhibited the chymotrypsin-induced p-nitrophenylphosphatase (Ki for Ca2+ = 2 microM). In the absence of ATP, C20W and Ca2+ did not interact in apparent affinity as inhibitors of this activity. On the other hand, in the presence of 2 mM ATP, Ca2+ antagonized the inhibition produced by C20W. The results are consistent with the idea that the calmodulin-binding site is an 'autoinhibitory domain' of the Ca2+ pump, and that removal of this domain by proteolysis, or its modification by calmodulin binding is the reason for the activation of both the ATPase and the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the pump. The results presented in this paper give new information about the mechanism of the two kinds of p-nitrophenylphosphatase and about the nature of the apparent competition between C20W and Ca2+.

Abstract
The localization of a plasma membrane calcium pump in the oviduct of the laying hen was investigated by immunohistochemical techniques, utilizing a monoclonal antibody (5F10) produced against the human erythrocyte calcium pump. This antibody was shown to react with an epitope of the pump in oviductal tissue, and prominent staining was observed on the microvilli of the tubular gland cells of the hen shell gland (uterus) and the isthmus. The Ca2+ pump was not detectable in the infundibulum or the magnum. Calbindin-D28k, also localized by immunohistochemical means, was observed to be present in the tubular gland cells of the shell gland and the distal isthmus (adjacent to shell gland) but not in either the proximal isthmus (adjacent to the magnum), the magnum or the infundibulum. The localization of the Ca2+ pump in the oviduct corresponds to known sites of mineral deposition during egg shell formation. The distribution of calbindin-D28k differed, co-localizing with the Ca2+ pump in the shell gland and distal isthmus but not in the proximal isthmus. This might reflect a greater rate of active Ca2+ secretion in the distal isthmus and shell gland as compared to the proximal isthmus.

Abstract
Peptides C28R2 and C28R1A, representing the two main alternative classes of calmodulin-binding domains from the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump, were tested for their calmodulin-binding properties and for their capacity to interact with pump from which the calmodulin-binding domain had been removed by chymotryptic proteolysis. Peptide C28R2 was more effective in both capacities. Binding of peptide to calmodulin was measured by competition experiments. Such experiments indicated that Ki for C28R2 as an inhibitor of the pump-calmodulin interaction was 0.1 nM, whereas C28R1A had a Ki of 1 nM. Interaction of peptide with chymotryptically activated Ca2+ pump was measured by observing the inhibition by peptide of active Ca2+ transport into inside-out membrane vesicles at low Ca2+. Those experiments showed that C28R2 interacted relatively strongly (an IC50 of 1 microM), whereas C28R1A had an IC50 of 15 microM. The calmodulin-binding peptides had effects on both the K1/2 for Ca2+ and the Vmax of the proteolyzed pump. The effects on the K1/2 for Ca2+ were related to the net plus charge on the peptide, with the most positive peptides being most effective in competing with Ca2+. The substantial differences between C28R2 and C28R1A suggest that Ca2+ pumps containing calmodulin-binding domains like C28R1A have lower calmodulin affinities and higher activities in the absence of activator.

Abstract
Myometrium from rats in varying stages of pregnancy (from 17 to 22 days) was treated with oxytocin (0.1-10 microM) and plasma membranes and sarcoplasmic reticulum were isolated using a Percoll gradient. When the myometrium had been treated with oxytocin, Ca2+ uptake was reduced by 29.4% in the plasma membrane and by 32.6% in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The inhibitory action of oxytocin was highly dependent upon the stage of gestation: Only membranes from rats close to term (21-22 days) exhibited reduced Ca2+ transport activity after hormone treatment. This effect correlated highly with a significant decrease in the serum progesterone level of these animals. In plasma membrane vesicles, oxytocin reduced the maximal velocity of the Ca2+ pump without significantly affecting the affinity for Ca2+. Oxytocin did not affect the passive permeability of the plasma membranes, nor their proportion of sealed inside-out vesicles nor the amount of Ca2(+)-pump protein in these membranes. In addition, oxytocin caused no change in the passive permeability of the membrane nor in the rate of inositol trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These results suggest that there is a specific action of oxytocin on the activity of the myometrial plasma membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pumps which may contribute to the maintenance of an elevated intracellular calcium level during parturition.

Abstract
The deduced amino acid sequence of the cardiac sarcolemmal Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger has a region which could represent a calmodulin binding site. As calmodulin binding regions of proteins often have an autoinhibitory role, a synthetic peptide with this sequence was tested for functional effects on Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange activity. The peptide inhibits the Na(+)-dependent Ca2+ uptake (KI approximately 1.5 microM) and the Nao(+)-dependent Ca2+ efflux of sarcolemmal vesicles in a noncompetitive manner with respect to both Na+ and Ca2+. The peptide is also a potent inhibitor (KI approximately 0.1 microM) of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange current of excised sarcolemmal patches. The binding site for the peptide on the exchanger is on the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. The exchanger inhibitory peptide binds calmodulin with a moderately high affinity. From the characteristics of the inhibition of the exchange of sarcolemmal vesicles, we deduce that only inside-out sarcolemmal vesicles participate in the usual Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange assay. This contrasts with the common assumption that both inside-out and right-side-out vesicles exhibit exchange activity.

Abstract
A Ca2(+)-pumping ATPase has been characterized in rat hepatocyte plasma membranes. The enzyme has high Ca2+ affinity, and properties typical of a P-type ion pump. At variance with the Ca2+ pumps of other eukaryotic plasma membranes, it is not stimulated by calmodulin. The steady state concentration of the phosphoenzyme formed in the presence of ATP is increased by La3+. The enzyme cross-reacts with a monoclonal antibody (mAb-5F10) raised against the human erythrocyte Ca2+ pump. The enzyme has been purified using a mAb-5F10 antibody affinity column. CNBr digestion of the isolated protein has yielded two peptides which have been sequenced. One of them matches perfectly a sequence contained in the erythrocyte Ca2+ pump, the other is very homologous to another domain in the erythrocyte pump. In spite of the absence of calmodulin stimulation, 125I-calmodulin overlay experiments on the purified liver ATPase under denaturing conditions have revealed that the enzyme binds calmodulin even more strongly than the erythrocyte pump. Immunocytochemical experiments on liver slices using the mAb-5F10 antibody have shown that the enzyme is located predominantly in the blood sinusoidal domain of the hepatocyte plasma membrane.

Abstract
We used a monoclonal antibody (5F10) specific for the human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca(++)-pump to demonstrate the presence and distribution of Ca(++)-pump epitopes in rat intestine. In paraffin embedded tissue sections, antibody 5F10 binds to epitopes in the basolateral membranes of absorptive cells in rat duodenum and portions of jejunum but not ileum. Western blot analysis of intestinal mucosal proteins with antibody 5F10 shows binding of antibody to major bands of Mr approximately 135,000 and Mr approximately 72,000, and to lesser bands of Mr approximately 125,000 and Mr approximately 27,000. This pattern was seen in mucosal homogenates of rat duodenal and jejunal cells and to a lesser extent in ileal cells. The Mr approximately 135,000 band corresponds to the molecular weight of Ca(++)-pumps in other tissues. The other bands correspond in size to known proteolytic fragments of the Ca(++)-pump. Slot-blot analysis of nitrocellulose immobilized mucosal homogenates shows binding of 5F10 to be greatest in duodenum and least in ileum. Ca(++)-transport studies by the everted gut sac technique show a correlation between vitamin D induction of active Ca(++)-transport and the segmental distribution of Ca(++)-pump epitopes.

Abstract
The properties of calcium-stimulated ATP hydrolysis often differ from those of ATP-dependent calcium transport. We have characterized two components of calcium-stimulated ATP hydrolysis in human placental basal plasma membrane. In the absence of magnesium, component 1 apparently has saturable sites for free calcium in both the nanomolar and low micromolar range. It was stimulated by either calcium or magnesium, was unselective for nucleotide substrate, and its activity was very much greater than that of ATP-dependent calcium transport. Component 1 was inhibited by GTP, permitting measurement of component 2 with activity and magnesium stimulation comparable to ATP-dependent calcium transport. Component 2 was inhibited partially by an antibody against purified erythrocyte calcium transporter and completely by sulfhydryl reagents, whereas component 1 was unaffected. A phosphorylated intermediate of the calcium transporter co-migrated with the erythrocyte transporter on acidic sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels. Immunostaining after transfer to nitrocellulose revealed a doublet. The band of lower molecular weight co-migrated with that of the human erythrocyte membrane transporter. The addition of GTP permits separate measurement of ATP hydrolysis by the calcium transporter of the placental basal plasma membrane and may be useful in defining its properties in other cell membranes under a variety of conditions.

Abstract
The sequence of more than 1,000 amino acid residues, derived from two different isoforms, has been determined from peptides generated from purified human erythrocyte membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase (hPMCA). Several of these peptide sequences correspond to the previously reported, cDNA deduced sequence of the "teratoma" Ca2+ pump isoform hPMCA1 (Verma, A. K., Filoteo, A. G., Stanford, D. R., Wieben, E. D., Penniston, J. T., Strehler, E. E., Fischer, R., Heim, R., Vogel, G., Matthews, S., Strehler-Page, M.-A., James, P., Vorherr, T., Krebs, J., and Carafoli, E. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 14152-14159). The complete primary structure of a novel isoform (hPMCA3) has been determined by molecular cloning and nucleotide sequencing of its corresponding cDNA. This new member of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump family consists of 1,205 amino acid residues with a calculated Mr of 133,930, and it shows 88% similarity (75% identity) with the previously sequenced pump isoform. Specific probes detect major mRNA species of 5.6 kilobases for hPMCA1, and of 7.5 kilobases for hPMCA3, on Northern blots of human K562 erythroleukemic cell RNA. A large number of peptide sequences match perfectly with only one or the other of these isoforms and all peptides (with 6 exceptions corresponding to a contaminant protein or to a third minor Ca2+ pump isoform) are found in either only one or in both of the isoforms. The two erythrocyte Ca2+ pumps display high sequence divergence in a few localized regions that may determine isoform-specific functional specializations; for example, the putative extracellular loop separating transmembrane domains 1 and 2, the highly negatively charged region previously suggested to be involved in Ca2+ binding, and the site of cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation.

Abstract
Peptides corresponding to the calmodulin binding domain of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (James et al., 1988) were synthesized, and their interaction with calmodulin was studied with circular dichroism, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and fluorescence techniques. They corresponded to the complete calmodulin binding domain (28 residues), to its first 15 or 20 amino acids, and to its C-terminal 14 amino acids. The first three peptides interacted with calmodulin. The K value was similar to that of the intact enzyme in the 28 and 20 amino acid peptides, but increased substantially in the shorter 15 amino acid peptide. The 14 amino acid peptide corresponding to the C-terminal portion of the domain failed to bind calmodulin. 2D NMR experiments on the 20 amino acid peptides have indicated that the interaction occurred with the C-terminal half of calmodulin. A tryptophan that is conserved in most calmodulin binding domains of proteins was replaced by other amino acids, giving rise to modified peptides which had lower affinity for calmodulin. An 18 amino acid peptide corresponding to an acidic sequence immediately N-terminal to the calmodulin binding domain which is likely to be a Ca2+ binding site in the pump was also synthesized. Circular dichroism experiments have shown that it interacted with the calmodulin binding domain, supporting the suggestion (Benaim et al., 1984) that the latter, or a portion of it, may act as a natural inhibitor of the pump.

Abstract
1. A monoclonal antibody (1G4) was raised against the red-cell Ca2+ pump, and it reacted with the pump, as verified by Western blot analysis and by the e.l.i.s.a. method. 2. At 1 mM-ATP and 10 microM-Ca2+, 1G4 inhibited the activity of the purified Ca2+ pump by 40%. 3. Ca2+ pump inhibition by the antibody was non-competitive with regard to Ca2+, calmodulin and the high-affinity portion of the ATP curve. Thus its mechanism was quite different from that of the antibody previously reported [Verbist, Wuytack, Raemaekers, VanLeuven, Cassiman & Casteels (1986) Biochem. J. 240, 633-640], which partially caused inhibition by competition at the ATP site. 4. Antibody 1G4 reduced the steady-state level of phosphorylated intermediate and increased by 50% the calmodulin-activated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity of the pump. 5. The experimental results are consistent with the hypothesis that 1G4 inhibits the Ca2+ pump by decreasing the rate of the transition from the E2 form to the E1 form, causing a higher concentration of E2. 6. Analysis by Western blot of the pattern of cross-reaction of 1G4 after tryptic digestion of the pump showed that this antibody reacts with bands of Mr 90,000, 85,000, 50,000 and 33,000. After chymotryptic digestion, the antibody reacts almost exclusively with a fragment of Mr 105,000 that is fully active but is not responsive to calmodulin. Altogether, the results indicate that 1G4 binds to an epitope involved in the functional properties of the enzyme but which is not related to the calmodulin-binding domain.

Abstract
In an effort to extend our studies on Ca2+ pumps to animal models, we developed a new monoclonal antibody (5F10) prepared against the human erythrocyte Ca2+-Mg2+-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) that recognizes a protein of approximately 140 kDa in rat kidney homogenates. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays show that monoclonal antibody 5F10 binds purified Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and rat kidney membrane extracts in a concentration-dependent manner. In paraffin-embedded tissue sections, antibody 5F10 binds to an epitope in the basolateral membranes of rat kidney distal convoluted tubule principal cells. The antibody does not bind to intercalated cells. The latter cells were characterized by the presence of large amounts of carbonic anhydrase C. Polyclonal antibodies directed against chick intestinal 28-kDa vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein (28-kDa CaBP) also bind epitopes in distal convoluted tubule cells, connecting tubules, and portions of collecting duct but not intercalated cells. Western blot and 45Ca blot analysis of renal cytosolic proteins showed that the polyclonal 28-kDa CaBP-directed antibody detects a protein which also binds calcium. Western blot analysis with monoclonal antibody 5F10 shows binding to both the authentic purified erythrocyte Ca2+ pump (approximately 138 kDa) and to tryptic fragments of this pump. Antibody JA3, previously used for staining of human kidney tubules, reacts with a different set of tryptic fragments, showing that the two antibodies are directed against different regions or conformational determinants on the pump molecule. We show that Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and 28-kDa CaBP are present in the principal cells of the distal convoluted tubule of the rat and are absent in intercalated cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The syncytiotrophoblast represents the primary cellular barrier between maternal and fetal circulations in the placenta. Large amounts of Ca2+ are transported across this barrier by mechanisms that are not clearly understood. To further understand this phenomenon, we examined rat and human placenta by immunohistochemical and protein blotting techniques with a monoclonal antibody raised against the human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca2+ pump. Immunohistochemistry with this antibody showed specific staining in the human placenta of the basal (fetal facing) surface of the syncytiotrophoblast. In the rat placenta, immunohistochemistry also showed specific staining of the innermost (fetal facing) layer of the trophoblast and the basal surface of the endoderm of the intraplacental yolk sac. In Western blots of placental homogenates and membranes, the monoclonal antibody bound to a 140,000-mol wt band, characteristic of Ca2+ pumps in other tissues. Western blots of isolated basal membranes showed more intense staining than isolated microvillous membranes, confirming the results of the immunohistochemistry. In addition, Ca2+ transport in basal membrane vesicles from human placenta was inhibited by polyclonal antibodies prepared against the erythrocyte Ca2+ pump. We conclude that basal (fetal facing) layers of human and rat placentas contain a high-affinity Ca2+ pump situated to transport Ca2+ from the maternal to the fetal circulation.

Abstract
Synthetic peptides corresponding to the calmodulin-binding domain of the human erythrocyte Ca2+ pump were prepared representing residues 2-29 (C28W), 2-21 (C20W), 2-16 (C15W), and 16-29 (C14) of the sequence (James, P., Maeda, M., Fisher, R., Verma, A. K., Krebs, J., Penniston, J. T., and Carafoli, E. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2905-2910). Peptides C28W, C20W, and C15W bound to calmodulin with an apparent 1:1 stoichiometry in the presence of Ca2+ and inhibited the activation of the Ca2+ pump by calmodulin, while C14 was ineffective. Substituting tyrosine (C28Y) or alanine (C28A) for the tryptophan residue lowered the affinity for calmodulin. The estimated Kd values for the calmodulin-peptide complexes were 0.1 nM for C28W, 5-15 nM for C20W, C28Y, and C28A, and 700-1700 nM for C15W. The Ca2+ pump in inside-out erythrocyte membrane vesicles was activated by proteolytic removal of the endogenous calmodulin-binding domain. Addition of C20W or C28W then inhibited calmodulin-independent Ca2+ transport, while a calmodulin-binding peptide from another enzyme had no effect. The inhibition of the pump by C20W was purely competitive with Ca2+, while C28W decreased the Vmax and increased the K1/2 for Ca2+, restoring the pump activity nearly to its low basal level. The results suggest that a calmodulin-binding peptide from any enzyme has two kinds of specificity: it shares with peptides from other enzymes the ability to bind to calmodulin, but only it has the specificity to interact with its own (proteolytically activated) enzyme.

Abstract
Development of myometrium in young female rats was stimulated by administration of diethylstilboestrol. Plasma membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum from rat myometrium were separated by a new and rapid method using a Percoll gradient. Calcium uptake was inhibited in plasma membrane vesicles isolated from oxytocin-treated myometrium, while no consistent effect of oxytocin was found on the Ca2+ uptake in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Oxytocin regulated the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump by decreasing its apparent affinity for Ca2+ without affecting its maximal velocity. The K1/2 for Ca2+ in the absence of calmodulin was 0.41 +/- 0.04 microM in normal membranes; this was increased to 0.93 +/- 0.12 microM in oxytocin-treated membranes. Calmodulin decreased the K1/2 for Ca2+ to 0.27 +/- 0.027 microM and oxytocin also increased this, to 0.46 +/- 0.061 microM. The effect of oxytocin on the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump was highly dependent on the hormonal status of the animals. When the diethylstilboestrol was administered together with progesterone, the inhibitory action of oxytocin was totally suppressed, consistent with the expected action of this agent. The results suggest that regulation of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump may be important in the prolonged elevation of intracellular Ca2+ caused by oxytocin.

Abstract
A major unanswered question in central nervous system physiology concerns the mechanism by which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Ca2+ homeostasis is maintained in the face of hypo- or hypercalcemia. To address this question, we sought and found a protein of Mr approximately 140,000 in choroid plexus plasma membranes that forms a phosphorylated intermediate with characteristics of a plasma membrane Ca2+-pump. A choroid plexus plasma membrane protein of this molecular weight also bound to a monoclonal antibody prepared against the human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase Ca2+-pump. When this monoclonal antibody was used for immunohistochemical localization, the plasma membrane Ca2+-pump was found primarily in the CSF-facing membranes of choroid plexus cells from rats, cats, and man. The localization of a plasma membrane Ca2+-pump in the CSF-facing membranes of the choroid plexus suggests that the choroid plexus, by mechanisms including this pump, may regulate CSF Ca2+ concentrations.

Abstract
The primary structure of a region of the erythrocyte plasma membrane calcium pump which is phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been determined. The sequence is A-P-T-K-R-N-S-S(P)-P-P-P-S-P-D. The site is located between the calmodulin binding domain and the C-terminus of the ATPase. The ATPase is phosphorylated only at this site by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and the phosphorylation is inhibited by calmodulin. The effect of the phosphorylation is to decrease the Km for Ca2+ of the purified ATPase from about 10 microM to about 1.4 microM and to increase the Vmax of ATP hydrolysis about 2-fold.

Abstract
The activity of the membrane-bound and the purified erythrocyte Ca2+-ATPase in the absence of calmodulin was stimulated by calpain digestion but could be further increased to maximal levels by calmodulin (CaM). Thus, CaM sensitivity was retained by the digested ATPase, at least at short times of incubation. In membranes digested at higher temperatures and in the purified ATPase digested at higher calpain/ATPase ratios, the ATPase became fully activated. The membrane-bound and the purified 138-kDa ATPase were converted by calpain to a fragment of approximately 124 kDa which still bound CaM and could be isolated on CaM columns when proteolysis occurred slowly but not when it occurred rapidly. Carboxypeptidase digestion of the purified enzyme and of its fragment of about 124 kDa has shown that calpain attacked the CaM-binding domain near the C terminus of the ATPase. This has also been supported by digestion of the purified enzyme and of its fragment of about 124 kDa. A first cut occurred in the middle of the domain producing a fragment of about 14 kDa and a (CaM-binding) fragment of about 124 kDa. A second cut closer to the N terminus of the domain also produced a fragment of about 124 kDa and accounted for the loss of CaM binding at prolonged times of incubation of the ATPase with calpain.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of familial benign hypercalcemia (FBH) is unknown. Possible explanations for the disorder include a set-point error in parathyroid gland regulation and intrinsic renal hyperreabsorption of calcium. Thus, FBH may involve an alteration in cellular calcium transport, especially in renal and parathyroid cells. A primary mediator of cellular calcium transport is (Ca2+,Mg2+)ATPase. Therefore, we examined in detail the kinetics of (Ca2+,Mg2+)ATPase activity in erythrocyte plasma membranes from 11 patients with FBH from 7 families, 5 patients with untreated primary hyperparathyroidism, and equal numbers of age- and sex-matched normal subjects. (Ca2+,Mg2+)ATPase activity was measured in isolated membranes as a function of free calcium (0.05-300 mumol/L) in the presence or absence of calmodulin (600 nmol/L) and as a function of calmodulin (0-1800 nmol/L). We found no significant differences in calcium- or calmodulin-dependent (Ca2+,Mg2+)ATPase kinetics between patients with FBH or primary hyperparathyroidism and their age- and sex-matched normal subjects. None of the kinetic parameters was correlated with serum calcium or serum PTH values. We postulate that a mechanism other than a global defect in (Ca2+,Mg2+)ATPase activity is responsible for the hypercalcemia in patients with FBH.

Abstract
The functional domains of the in situ red cell membrane calcium pump were mapped by a double labeling technique. In inside-out vesicles (IOVs) the calcium pump was phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP, the proteins blotted onto nitrocellulose and tagged by monoclonal antibodies raised against the purified pump protein. After proteolytic treatment of the IOVs by trypsin, chymotrypsin, or calpain-I, the fragmentation pattern of the enzyme was followed on the double-labeled immunoblots. The changes in the kinetics of the pump were examined by parallel measurements of the active calcium uptake in IOVs. By analysis of the results of tryptic digestion, it was possible to show that the antibodies recognized three different domains of the pump: 1) a Mr = 10,000-15,000 fragment (not seen directly) which includes the calmodulin-binding domain, 2) a nonphosphorylated Mr = 35,000 tryptic fragment, and 3) a phosphorylated fragment of Mr = 76,000-81,000. Chymotrypsin or calpain-I digestion of the membranes produced one major, Mr = 125,000 fragment, which had lost antibody-binding region 1. Production of this fragment coincided with the loss of calmodulin dependence and with a calmodulin-like activation of IOV calcium uptake (high Vmax, cooperativity in calcium activation). The Mr = 125,000 fragment was further activated by acidic lipids producing high Vmax and low K 1/2 (Ca2+) with no cooperativity. Based on these data a kinetic model and a functional map of the plasma membrane calcium pump is suggested.
