Abstract
A novel isoform of calsequestrin was identified in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from myocardial tissue of two species of hibernating ground squirrel. The protein was identified as calsequestrin by its cross-reactivity with antibodies raised against bovine cardiac calsequestrin, its pH-sensitive mobility in sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gels, staining blue with the cationic carbocyanine dye 'Stains-All', binding peroxidase-conjugated concanavalin A, its endoglycosidase F sensitivity. Its NH2-terminal amino acid sequence is similar, but not identical, to that already determined for cardiac calsequestrin. Some of the biochemical properties of this protein distinguish it from the other mammalian isoforms. It has a unique electrophoretic mobility in both alkaline and neutral sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it appears to have a molecular weight approximately 7% greater than that of cardiac calsequestrin from other mammalian species, and its glycosylation pattern differs. This novel form of calsequestrin is expressed in cardiac SR vesicles which possess an abnormally high number of Ca2(+)-release channel/ryanodine receptor molecules. This ryanodine receptor also shows an altered Ca2(+)-sensitivity of ryanodine binding. The divergent biophysical properties of this novel form of cardiac calsequestrin, together with the apparently atypical ryanodine receptors in the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes may have some functional significance in the adaptive mechanisms which allow the heart to function despite the severely reduced body temperatures (to approx. 0 degree C) encountered during hibernation.

Abstract
Calsequestrin, a muscle calcium binding protein, has been shown to bind the extracellular matrix protein laminin and evidence has been presented that CAL (initially called aspartactin) is on the cell surface, consistent with a role as a laminin receptor (1). In this report, we present evidence that does not support a laminin receptor function for CAL. We found that CAL immunoreactivity could not be detected on live cultured chick myotubes unless they were permeabilized with detergent. Furthermore, polyclonal anti-CAL antibodies did not perturb myotube adhesion to laminin or the rate of myoblast fusion on laminin. Expression of the CAL cDNA in a melanoma cell line that was poorly adherent to laminin did not increase adhesion to laminin. In these cells, CAL could not be detected on the cell surface, and the majority of CAL was found to be secreted into the media.

Abstract
1. A calsequestrin-like calcium-binding protein was purified from carp sarcoplasmic reticulum by column chromatographies using DEAE-cellulose and Butyl-Toyopearl 650S. 2. The mol. wt was estimated to be 50 kDa, which was larger than that of rabbit calsequestrin (42 kDa). 3. Carp calsequestrin-like protein bound Ca2+ with a higher affinity (apparent Kd = 400 microM) and lower capacity (25 mol/mol) compared with rabbit calsequestrin (1 mM and 40-50 mol/mol, respectively). 4. Anti-carp calsequestrin-like protein rabbit antiserum reacted with rabbit calsequestrin in immunoblotting analysis. 5. Carp calsequestrin-like protein was rich in acidic amino acids, as was rabbit calsequestrin.

Abstract
The lateral membrane system of the cochlear outer hair cell, consisting of the lateral plasma membrane, pillars, filamentous lattice and subsurface cisternae, is considered to be involved in the contractile movement of the isolated cochlear outer hair cell. The filamentous lattice, called the cytoskeletal spring, has been identified in the demembranated cochlear outer hair cell treated with the detergent Triton X-100. In this study, the quick-freeze, deep-etch method was applied to demonstrate the three-dimensional organization of both the filamentous and membranous structures of the lateral membrane system of cochlear outer hair cells. Treatment with saponin revealed that the inner leaflet of the lateral plasma membrane of the cochlear outer hair cell possesses more membrane particles than the outer leaflets, and that the pillars are closely associated with membrane particles in the inner leaflet of the lateral membrane. The presence of filamentous bridges between the filamentous lattice and the subsurface cisternae was also detected. We propose that the lateral membrane system in the cochlear outer hair cell may play an important role in the tuning mechanisms within the cochlea in normal hearing.

Abstract
The cardiac and fast-twitch skeletal muscle forms of the Ca2(+)-binding protein calsequestrin (CS) are the products of two different genes, both of which are transcribed in slow-twitch skeletal muscle, though at much different rates (Scott et al., 1988., Fliegel et al., 1989). We have investigated this problem more closely at the protein level, on isolated terminal cisternae (TC) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of rabbit slow-twitch muscle, and following purification of two distinct forms of CS from whole tissue by DEAE-Cellulose chromatography and CA2(+)-dependent elution from phenyl-Sepharose. Two electrophoretically (apparent molecular mass of 64 kDa and 54 kDa, respectively), and antigenically distinct forms of CS, here shown to be related to the fast-twitch skeletal muscle and to cardiac-type isoform of CS, respectively, colocalize to junctional TC of slow-twitch muscle. The cardiac-type isoform that is expressed in slow-twitch muscle accounts for about 25% of total CS present in isolated TC, it binds Ca2+ as effectively as the major CS form, using a 45Ca-overlay technique, and it shares extensive similarities with dog cardiac CS, not only in size and antigenically, but also in pl, as well as in the DEAE-elution characteristics. No difference in behaviour with phenyl-Sepharose resin were observed between the two CS isoforms from slow-twitch muscle.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have used light and electron microscopic immunolocalization to study the distribution of a sea urchin calsequestrin-like protein (SCS) during sea urchin oogenesis. SCS was localized exclusively in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and in the nuclear envelope of oocytes of all maturation stages. Immunoelectron microscopy also revealed that SCS is not present in golgi complexes of oocytes. Double label immunofluorescent staining of frozen sections of ovary with the SCS antiserum and an antibody to the cortical granule protein hyalin indicated a dramatic morphogenesis of the SCS-containing ER (SCS-ER) coincident with oocyte maturation. This differentiation included an apparent increase in the amount and complexity of the cytoplasmic SCS-ER network, the transient appearance of stacks of SCS-ER cisternae in synthetically active vitellogenic oocytes, and the restructuring of the SCS-ER in the cortex. Immunofluorescence of isolated oocyte cortices showed a plasma membrane-associated SCS-ER which was much less dense and regular than that found surrounding the cortical granules in the mature unfertilized egg cortex. Cytoplasmic and cortical microtubule arrays are present in oocytes and may provide the basis for the SCS-ER distributional dynamics. The results of this study underscore the dynamic nature of ER and how it's organization reflects cellular functions. We suggest that the establishment during oogenesis of the dense SCS-ER tubuloreticulum provides the egg with the calcium sequestration and release apparatus that regulates calcium fluxes during egg activation and early development.

Abstract
The maintenance of a low cytosolic free-Ca2+ concentration, ([Ca2+]i) is a common feature of all eukaryotic cells. For this purpose a variety of mechanisms have developed during evolution to ensure the buffering of Ca2+ in the cytoplasm, its extrusion from the cell and/or its accumulation within organelles. Opening of plasma membrane channels or release of Ca2+ from intracellular pools leads to elevation of [Ca2+]i; as a result, Ca2+ binds to cytosolic proteins which translate the changes in [Ca2+]i into activation of a number of key cellular functions. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive description of the structural and functional characteristics of the various components of [Ca2+]i homeostasis in eukaryotes.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CAL) is a calcium-binding protein whose primary function is thought to involve sequestration of calcium in the muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Little is known about the mechanisms regulating CAL expression, or about the role of this protein in muscle development. In addition, CAL may regulate calcium localization in some nonmuscle cells. We have identified an avian calsequestrin homolog. The predicted amino acid sequence of the avian CAL, first described as a laminin binding protein, and named aspartactin, is 70-80% identical to mammalian CAL sequences. We have used affinity-purified antibodies and cDNA probes to investigate expression in developing and adult chicken tissues. In adult chickens, the avian CAL homolog was expressed in slow and fast twitch skeletal muscle as well as in cardiac muscle. Surprisingly high levels of CAL protein were also detected in cerebellum. During development, CAL mRNA and protein were detected in Embryonic Day 5 (E-5) limb primordia, well before the initiation of myoblast fusion. In leg skeletal muscle, CAL protein and mRNA increase approximately 10-fold from E-8 to E-18 with a time course that just precedes myoblast fusion. This early expression pattern was also observed in cultured chicken pectoral myoblasts, and appears to be regulated at the level of mRNA abundance. The developmental profile of CAL expression is compared to that of other muscle proteins and possible additional functions of CAL are discussed.

Abstract
We have previously reported the amino terminal sequence of adult chicken calsequestrin, an intraluminal Ca2(+)-binding protein isolated from fast-twitch skeletal muscle. The partial sequence showed homology with mammalian calsequestrins contained in the PIR data bank and complete identity with the amino terminus of a putative laminin-binding protein of the extracellular matrix, aspartactin. Based on these data, oligonucleotide primers were synthesized for PCR amplification and direct DNA sequencing. We report herein the primary sequence of chicken calsequestrin, deduced from cDNA. The sequence has been verified by amino acid sequencing of internal tryptic peptides. Importantly, the data show the primary structure of calsequestrin to be identical to the amino acid sequence reported for aspartactin, with the exception of a single amino acid difference (ileu vs. val) which may be animal strain-related. Based on these data, calsequestrin and aspartactin are the same protein.

Abstract
Novel proteins unique to either transverse tubules (TS28) or the sarcolemma (SL50) have been identified and characterized, and their in situ distribution in rabbit skeletal muscle has been determined using monoclonal antibodies. TS28, defined by mAb IXE112, was shown to have an apparent relative molecular mass of 28,000 D. Biochemical studies showed that TS28 is a minor membrane protein in isolated transverse tubular vesicles. Immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopical studies showed that TS28 is localized to the transverse tubules and in some subsarcolemmal vesicles possibly corresponding to the subgroup of caveolae connecting the transverse tubules with the sarcolemma. In contrast, TS28 is absent from the lateral portion of the sarcolemma. Immunofluorescence studies also showed that TS28 is more densely distributed in type II (fast) than in type I (slow) myofibers. Although TS28 and the 1,4-dihydropyridine receptor are both localized to transverse tubules and subsarcolemmal vesicles, TS28 is not a wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-binding glycoprotein and does not appear to copurify with the 1,4-dihydropyridine receptor after detergent solubilization of transverse tubular membranes. SL50, defined by mAb IVD31, was shown to have an apparent relative molecular mass of 50,000 D. Biochemical studies showed that SL50 is not related to the 52,000-D (beta subunit) of the dihydropyridine receptor but does bind to WGA-Sepharose. Immunofluorescence labeling imaged by standard and confocal microscopy showed that SL50 is associated with the sarcolemma but apparently absent from the transverse tubules. Immunofluorescence labeling also showed that the density of SL50 in type II (fast) myofibers is indistinguishable from that of type I (slow) myofibers. The functions of TS28 and SL50 are presently unknown. However, the distinct distribution of TS28 to the transverse tubules and subsarcolemmal vesicles as determined by immunocytochemical labeling suggests that TS28 may be directly involved in excitation-contraction coupling. Our results demonstrate that, although transverse tubules are continuous with the sarcolemma, each of these membranes contain one or more unique proteins, thus supporting the idea that they each have a distinct protein composition.

Calsequestrin was isolated from chicken fast-twitch skeletal muscle, and partial amino terminal sequence was determined. The sequence (NH2) EEGLNFPTYDGKDRVIDLNE shows high identity with known mammalian calsequestrins contained in the Protein Identification Resource data bank (1). Most importantly, this 20 amino acid sequence shares complete identity with the amino terminus of aspartactin, a putative laminin-binding protein of the extracellular matrix (2, 3). The possible relationship of aspartactin to calsequestrin is discussed.

Abstract
Using an antiserum produced against a purified calsequestrin-like (CSL) protein from a microsomal fraction of sea urchin eggs, we performed light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical localizations on sea urchin eggs and embryos in the first cell cycle. The sea urchin CSL protein has been found to bind Ca++ similarly to calsequestrin, the well-characterized Ca++ storage protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells. In semi-thin frozen sections of unfertilized eggs, immunofluorescent staining revealed a tubuloreticular network throughout the cytoplasm. Staining of isolated egg cortices with the CSL protein antiserum showed the presence of a submembranous polygonal, tubular network similar to ER network patterns seen in other cells and in egg cortices treated with the membrane staining dye DiIC16[3]. In frozen sections of embryos during interphase of the first cell cycle, a cytoplasmic network similar to that of the unfertilized egg was present. During mitosis, we observed a dramatic concentration of the antibody staining within the asters of the mitotic apparatus where ER is known to aggregate. Electron microscopic localization on unfertilized eggs using peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody demonstrated the presence of the CSL protein within the luminal compartment of ER-like tubules. Finally, in frozen sections of centrifugally stratified eggs, the immunofluorescent staining concentrated in the clear zone: a layer highly enriched in ER and thought to be the site of calcium release upon fertilization. This localization of a CSL protein within the ER of the egg provides evidence for the ability of this organelle to serve a Ca++ storage role in the regulation of intracellular Ca++ in nonmuscle cells in general, and in the regulation of fertilization and cell division in sea urchin eggs in particular.

Abstract
Calciosomes are intracellular organelles in HL-60 cells, neutrophils and various other cell types, characterized by their content of a Ca2+-binding protein that is biochemically and immunologically similar to calsequestrin (CS) from muscle cells. In subcellular fractionation studies the CS-like protein copurifies with functional markers of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) releasable Ca2+-store. These markers (ATP-dependent Ca2+-uptake and IP3-induced Ca2+-release) show a subcellular distribution which is clearly distinct from the endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles. In morphological studies, antibodies against rabbit skeletal muscle CS protein specifically stained hitherto unrecognized vesicles with a diameter between 50 and 250 nm. Thus both, biochemical and morphological studies indicate that the calsequestrin containing intracellular Ca2+-store, now referred to as the calciosome, is distinct from other known organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum. Calciosomes are likely to play an important role in intracellular Ca2+-homeostasis. They are possibly the intracellular target of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and thus the source of Ca2+ that is redistributed into the cytosol following surface receptor activation in non-muscle cells.

Abstract
The distributions of desmin and vimentin were examined in frozen sections of cardiac muscle from embryonic, newborn, and adult Syrian hamster by using immunofluorescent methods. Frozen sections of newborn and adult skeletal muscle were used for comparison. Cardiac myocytes from day 9 in utero embryos already show a clear association of desmin with the sarcomeric myofibrils. In newborn hearts, desmin is localized in the myofibrillar Z-line areas as well as in the peripheral cytoplasm of the cell. Three days after birth, desmin is associated with the intercalated discs. Thus, in adult cardiac muscle, desmin is present in both Z-bands and intercalated discs. Skeletal muscle of newborn and adult hamster also contains desmin associated with the Z-lines of myofibrils. Vimentin is associated with the myofibrils of day 9 in utero cardiac muscle cells. The protein remains associated with the myofibrillar Z-lines in the newborns and adults. No detectable staining for vimentin was observed in newborn or adult hamster skeletal muscle. The existence of vimentin as well as desmin in differentiated cardiac muscle may be a consequence of the somewhat more epithelial-like nature of cardiac cells as compared to skeletal muscle syncitia.

Abstract
In previous work on rat striated muscle cells a silver-reducing component was found selectively localized at the terminal cistern/transverse tubule system (Tandler and Pellegrino de Iraldi 1989). To further investigate that problem we performed the Hg-Ag argentaffin reaction on a sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction from rat skeletal muscle. Circular profiles corresponding to vesicular structures were found outlined by silver grains. The number of silver "stained" vesicles were less than the total number vesicles stained by conventional procedures. The correlation between argentaffinities in the intact muscle fiber and their subcellular organelles indicated that the Hg-Ag reactive vesicles must be those derived from the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The silver-reducing constituent aggregates in the presence of 1 mM CaCl2 or 0.5 M K cacodylate. The state of aggregation induced by Ca2+ was not affected by incubation with 0.5% Triton X-100 or by 2 mM EDTA, thus suggesting a localization at or near the membrane of the terminal cistern vesicle facing the junctional gap. In Laemmli SDS-acrylamide gels the Hg-Ag reaction stained all proteins in a manner similar to Coomasie blue. It is suggested that the selective histochemical staining is the result of differential reactivities due to steric requirements of the chemical reaction.

Abstract
Protein compositional and functional differences exist between longitudinal and junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in relation to Ca transport and to Ca release. In light of this knowledge, we have reinvestigated the effects of denervation on SR of rabbit gastrocnemius, a predominantly fast muscle. Electron microscopy of 2-weeks denervated muscle showed proliferation of transverse tubules (TT), forming junctional contacts with SR terminal cisternae (TC). At coincident periods, the yield of muscle microsomes was increased, and their fractionation by sucrose-density centrifugation demonstrated a relative increase of heavy vesicles. Thin-section electron microscopy of heavy SR from denervated muscle showed an increased number of vesicles containing calsequestrin (CS) as compared with control muscle. Electrophoretic analysis confirmed the relative decrease of Ca-ATPase protein and the striking increase of CS both in total microsomes and in heavy SR vesicles. Calcium loading and Ca-ATPase activity as well as the density of Ca-ATPase protein were decreased to a similar extent (20-30%) in denervated muscle microsomes. Stimulation of Ca-ATPase activity by Ca-ionophore A23187 showed that the vesicles were tightly sealed. When probed by competitive ELISA with antibody to SR Ca-ATPase from pure fast muscle, the Ca-ATPase of denervated microsomes was found to be highly cross reactive. Cleveland's peptide maps of the Ca-ATPase protein after partial digestion with S. aureus V8 protease also showed no significant change after denervation. Changes in cholesterol content and in the ratio of Mg-ATPase to Ca-ATPase activity of denervated muscle microsomes indicated a 4-fold increase of TT protein, i.e., from about 3% to not more than 12% of total protein, at 2 weeks after denervation. All these changes were totally reversed upon reinnervation of muscle fibers, and the consequent muscle recovery, as obtained by nerve crushing instead of nerve sectioning. From these results, we conclude that denervated adult fast muscle, similarly to immature fast muscle, contains more junctional SR. However, the molecular and catalytic properties of the Ca-ATPase are unaffected by denervation.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-pumping ATPase (Ca-ATPase) and calsequestrin (CaS) were visualized by indirect immunofluorescence at the polar regions of adult rat, rabbit and cat intrafusal fibers. The immunohistochemical reaction products were regarded as histochemical markers of the SR and as valid indicators of the distribution of the two Ca2+-sequestering proteins. Static nuclear bag2 fibers displayed lower levels of both Ca-ATPase and CaS than the other two intrafusal fiber types. Nuclear chain fibers presented the highest Ca-ATPase levels and, together with dynamic nuclear bag1 fibers, they also exhibited relatively high amounts of CaS. The level of Ca-ATPase was lower in bag 1 fibers than in nuclear chain fibers, but not as low as in bag2 fibers. The comparatively high levels of Ca-ATPase and CaS seen in nuclear chain fibers coincided with their reported faster contractile speeds compared to nuclear bag fibers.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (Mr = 40,000) is a calcium-binding protein (Kd = 1 mM, 50 sites/molecule) located within the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle cells. The interaction of terbium, a calcium analog, with rabbit skeletal muscle calsequestrin was studied by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Direct measurement of terbium binding using a fluorescence assay for terbium revealed that calsequestrin bound approx. 30 mol of terbium per mol of protein with an affinity of approx. 7 microM. The fluorescence of terbium measured at 545 nm was enhanced dramatically upon binding to calsequestrin, reaching a maximum value at a terbium to protein ratio of 28. The excitation spectrum of protein-bound terbium and chemical modification studies revealed that energy transfer occurred between aromatic residues, including tryptophan and bound terbium. Terbium bound to calsequestrin could be removed by EGTA, or displaced by Ca2+ or La3+. In the presence of Ca2+ or La3+ terbium bound to calsequestrin with a higher apparent affinity and lower capacity. 0.1 M KCl or 5 mM MgCl2 had little effect on terbium binding. Terbium increased the intrinsic fluorescence of calsequestrin 2-fold, and increased the alpha-helical content of calsequestrin from 16 to 33%. Terbium binding induces the same conformational changes in calsequestrin as does calcium, confirming that terbium is a useful calcium analog in this system.

Abstract
A modified Golgi method combined with stereoscopy has been used to demonstrate the three-dimensional architecture of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and the T-system in human skeletal muscle. SR formed a continuous repeating network with a different structure dependent upon the sarcomere position. Intermyofibrillar SR contained three regions: 1) fenestrated collars overlying the M-band region, 2) terminal cisternae overlying the A-I region, and 3) a three-dimensional anastomosed tubular network overlying the Z-band region. Longitudinal and/or transverse SR tubules connected these regions. Subsarcolemmal SR was also composed of three regions: 1) transversely oriented polygonal meshes overlying the M-band, 2) single-layered tubules overlying the Z-band region, and 3) a loose network between the two. In the subsarcolemmal sarcoplasm, where mitochondria were aggregated, SR anastomosed loosely and showed nonfenestrated cisternae beneath the plasma membrane. The T-system was composed of transversely oriented networks overlying the A-I region with occasional longitudinal tubules connecting these networks.

Abstract
We have examined the structure of calsequestrin in three-dimensional images from deep-etched rotary-replicated freeze fractures of skeletal muscle fibers. We selected a fast-acting muscle because the sarcoplasmic reticulum has an orderly disposition and is rich in internal membranes. Calsequestrin forms a network in the center of the terminal cisternae and is anchored to the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane, with preference for the junctional portion. The anchorage is responsible for maintaining calsequestrin in the region of the sarcoplasmic reticulum close to the calcium-release channels, and it corroborates the finding that calsequestrin and the spanning protein of the junctional feet may interact with each other in the junctional membrane. Anchoring filaments may be composed of a protein other than calsequestrin.

Abstract
Partial amino acid sequence analysis of rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle calsequestrin permitted the construction of synthetic oligonucleotides that were used as both primers and probes for the synthesis and isolation of cDNAs encoding calsequestrin from neonatal rabbit skeletal muscle libraries. The cDNA sequence encodes a processed protein of 367 residues with a Mr of 42,435 and a 28-residue amino-terminal signal sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence agreed closely with the portions of the mature protein that were sequenced using standard protein sequencing. The neonatal protein, however, contains an acidic carboxyl-terminal extension not present in the adult protein, suggesting that the cDNA sequence may have arisen from an alternatively spliced neonatal transcript. A single transcript of 1.9-2.0 kilobases was seen in neonatal skeletal muscle mRNA. A glycosylation site and two potential phosphorylation sites were detected. Although the protein contains about two acidic residues for each Ca2+ bound, there is no repeating distribution of acidic residues and no evidence of EF hand structures. Hydropathy plots show no transmembrane sequences, and structural analyses suggest that less than half of the protein is likely to be highly structured. This sequence defines the characteristics of a class of high-capacity, moderate-affinity, Ca2+ binding proteins.

Abstract
Rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was fractionated by isopycnic density gradient centrifugation into longitudinal tubules (LSR) and terminal cisternae (TC). Junctional face membranes (JFM) were obtained by Triton X-100 treatment of the TC fraction (Costello, B., Chadwick, C., Saito, A., Chu, A., Maurer, A. and Fleischer, S. (1986) J. Cell Biol. 103, 741-753). Photoactivatable phospholipid analogs were introduced into LSR, TC, and JFM fractions to specifically label integral membrane proteins. Remarkably different labeling patterns were observed. Proteins of the following Mr were labeled and identified in the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (JFM): 350,000, 325,000, 80,000, 49,000, 37,000, 32,000, 30,000, and 6000. Polypeptides of Mr 105,000 (Ca2+-dependent ATPase), 77,000, 55,000, 41,000, 22,000, and 9000 (proteolipid) were labeled and found to be selectively localized in the nonjunctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (LSR). Calsequestrin, a key protein responsible for Ca2+ storage within the SR lumen, was never labeled, whether 1 mM CaCl2 was present or absent, and is termed a nonintegral membrane protein.

Abstract
A surface-connected intracytoplasmic membranous (SCIM) network proliferates in skeletal muscle diseases and in myotubes grown in vitro. The authors observed frequent occurrence of "coated" microdomains in the form of budding vesicles in the proliferated components of this network and suspected a potential role the proliferated membranes might have in the endocytosis of molecules into myotubes undergoing repair or regeneration. Five-day-old myotubes in culture were incubated at 37 C and between 2 and 4 C with two tracers, Lucifer yellow and ferritin, both known to enter other types of cells via a fluid-phase endocytotic pathway. The differential penetration of Lucifer yellow at 37 C and below 2-4 C was examined by fluorescence microscopy and by electron microscopy. Lucifer yellow was rendered electron-opaque by photoreacting it with an intense light in the presence of DAB. Ferritin penetration at 37 C and between 2 and 4 C was compared and quantitated ultrastructurally. The authors found that endocytosis of the tracers into myotubes and eventually into lysosomes took place after the tracers had diffused into the lumen of the proliferated SCIM network. These processes were inhibited below 4 C. This finding, coupled with the presence of "coated" microdomains in the proliferated membranes, led us to suspect that the SCIM network may have a role in membrane turnover of metabolically active diseased muscle cells undergoing regeneration.

Abstract
Calsequestrin was identified in the isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum from skeletal muscle of three mammalian species (man, rat and rabbit) and from frog and chicken muscle, using electrophoretic and immunoblot techniques. It was further characterized in sarcoplasmic reticulum protein mixtures and at several stages of purification, following extraction with EDTA. We found extensive similarities in apparent molecular weight values, Stains All staining properties and in Cleveland's peptide maps, between mammalian calsequestrins, and no detectable difference within a species between fast and slow muscle. Human calsequestrin, with an apparent molecular weight of 60,000 when measured at alkaline pH and of 41,000 when measured at neutral pH, appears to be the smallest in size. Frog calsequestrin, although weakly cross-reactive with rabbit calsequestrin and having a relatively higher apparent molecular weight at alkaline pH (72,000), shares several significant properties with mammalian calsequestrins. It bound calcium with a high capacity (1300 nmol per mg protein), it contained about 32% acidic amino acid residues and focused at closely similar pI values. We observed the formation of a complex with Stains All absorbing maximally at 535 nm, rather than at 600 nm, and an even more marked shift in apparent molecular weight at neutral pH. We found distinct differences in the case of chicken calsequestrin, in addition to those previously reported. It is a highly acidic, calcium-precipitable protein, but its amino acid composition is contradistinguished by a higher ratio of glutamate to aspartate and its rate of electrophoretic mobility is minimally affected by changes in pH. It stained deep bluish with Stains All after gel electrophoresis and yielded a protein-dye complex in aqueous solution, absorbing maximally at 560 nm, and finally, it bound fluorescent Concanavalin A.

Abstract
Antibodies directed against purified Ca-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum, calsequestrin and parvalbumin from rabbit fast-twitch muscle were raised in sheep. The specificity of the antibodies was shown by immunoblot analysis and by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assays (ELISAs). IgG against the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase inhibited the catalytic activities of Ca-ATPase from fast-twitch (psoas, tibialis anterior) and slow-twitch (soleus) muscles to the same degree. In non-equilibrium competitive ELISAs the anti(Ca-ATPase) IgG displayed a slightly higher affinity for the Ca-ATPase from fast-twitch muscle than for that from slow-twitch muscle. This suggests a fiber-type-specific polymorphism of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase. Quantification of Ca-ATPase, calsequestrin and parvalbumin in various rabbit skeletal muscles of histochemically determined fiber composition was achieved by sandwich ELISA. Ca-ATPase was found to be 6-7 times higher in fast than in slow-twitch muscles. A slightly higher concentration was found in fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIb fibers when compared with fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIa fibers. Thus Ca-ATPase is distributed as follows, IIb greater than or equal to IIa much greater than I. Calsequestrin was uniformly distributed in fast-twitch muscles independently of their IIa/IIb fiber ratio and displayed 50% lower concentrations in slow than in fast-twitch muscles (IIb = IIa greater than I). Parvalbumin contents were 200-300-fold higher in fast than in slow-twitch muscles. Significantly lower parvalbumin concentrations were found in fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIa fibers than in fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIb fibers (IIb greater than IIa much greater than I).

Abstract
Muscle fibers in rabbit extensor digitorum longus (EDL), tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus, and rat soleus, were examined immunohistochemically for two proteins of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ca-ATPase and calsequestrin (CaS). Fibers were typed with the histochemical reaction for actomyosin ATPase. In the rabbit EDL and TA, type I fibers clearly reacted less for Ca-ATPase and CaS than type II fibers, but the difference was less with CaS than with Ca-ATPase. Although the differences were relatively small, IIB fibers consistently presented greater amounts of Ca-ATPase than IIA fibers. No type II subgroups could be recognized after incubation with anti-CaS. These findings confirm results from previous immunochemical measurements on whole muscles containing different proportions of IIA and IIB fibers (Leberer and Pette 1986). Type IIA and IIC in the rabbit and rat soleus reacted stronger for Ca-ATPase and for CaS than type I fibers. Small differences in Ca-ATPase, but not in CaS, were recognized within the type I fiber population. Therefore, type I fibers in the rabbit and rat soleus are not a homogeneous population.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a prominent, highly ramified component of mouse myocardial cells. The use of ferrocyanide-reduced osmium tetroxide (OsFeCN) as a postfixative solution facilitates appreciation of both its extent and three-dimensional architecture. We have found that the individual volume fractions (Vv) of myofibrils, mitochondria, and SR are similar in cells of the right and left ventricular walls. Vv(total SR) is approximately 7%, a value considerably larger than previously reported. We attribute this disparity in large part to the recognition factor which comes into play with OsFeCN-treated tissue. Previous observations pertaining to the stereology of myocardial SR have likely substantially underestimated both volume fraction and surface density of this membrane system, since none to this point has utilized specific staining such as that conferred by the OsFeCN regimen. Our stereological measurements of different depths of the ventricular cell indicate that although considerable differences are found between SR configuration at peripheral and deep cell levels, no significant difference exists between the volume fractions of either the total SR or its individual constituents. Two different stereologic regimens gave close agreement on volume fractions of the various SR segments; the majority (approximately 92%) of the total SR is network SR, whereas the remainder is composed of the various categories of junctional SR (peripheral, apposed to the surface sarcolemma; interior, complexed with the transverse-axial tubular system; corbular, existing free of sarcolemmal contact). In the adult mouse, interior junctional SR greatly preponderates the other types of junctional SR; corbular SR is qualitively assessed to be a far more common component of atrial cells than of ventricular cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
The distribution of calsequestrin in rat atrial and ventricular myocardial cells was determined by indirect immunocolloidal gold labeling of ultrathin frozen sections. The results presented show that calsequestrin is confined to the sarcoplasmic reticulum where it is localized in the lumen of the peripheral and the interior junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum as well as in the lumen of the corbular sarcoplasmic reticulum, but absent from the lumen of the network sarcoplasmic reticulum. Comparison of these results with our previous studies on the distribution of the Ca2+ + Mg2+-dependent ATPase of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum show directly that the Ca2+ + Mg2+-dependent ATPase and calsequestrin are confined to distinct regions within the continuous sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Assuming that calsequestrin provides the major site of Ca2+ sequestration in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the results presented support the idea that both junctional (interior and peripheral) and specialized nonjunctional (corbular) regions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum are involved in Ca2+ storage and possibly release. Furthermore, the structural differences between the junctional and the corbular sarcoplasmic reticulum support the possibility that Ca2+ storage and/or release from the lumen of the junctional and the corbular sarcoplasmic reticulum are regulated by different physiological signals.

Abstract
Localization of calsequestrin in chicken ventricular muscle cells was determined by indirect immunofluorescence and immuno-Protein A-colloidal gold labeling of cryostat and ultracryotomy sections, respectively. Calsequestrin was localized in the lumen of peripheral junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum, as well as in the lumen of membrane-bound structures present in the central region of the I-band, while being absent from the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the A-band region of the cardiac muscle cells. Since chicken ventricular muscle cells lack transverse tubules, the presence of calsequestrin in membrane bound structures in the central region of the I-band suggests that these cells contain nonjunctional regions of sarcoplasmic reticulum that are involved in Ca2+ storage and possibly Ca2+ release. It is likely that the calsequestrin containing structures present throughout the I-band region of the muscle cells correspond to specialized regions of the free sarcoplasmic reticulum in the I-band called corbular sarcoplasmic reticulum. It will be of interest to determine whether Ca2+ storage and possibly Ca2+ release from junctional and nonjunctional regions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in chicken ventricular muscle cells are regulated by the same or different physiological signals.
