Abstract
Conserved residues in some of the transmembrane domains are proposed to mediate ion translocation by P-type pumps. The plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump (PMCA) lacks 2 of these residues in transmembrane domains (TM) 5 and 8. In particular, a glutamic acid (Glu-771) residue in TM5, which is proposed to be involved in the binding and transport of Ca(2+) by the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump (SERCA), is replaced by an alanine (Ala-854) in the PMCA pump. Ala-854 has been mutated to Glu, Asp, or Gln; Glu-975 in TM8, which is an Ala in the SERCA pump, has been mutated to Gln, Asp, or Ala. The mutants have been expressed in three cell systems, with or without the help of viruses. When expressed in large amounts in Sf9 cells, the mutated pumps were isolated and analyzed in the purified state. Two of the three TM8 mutants were correctly delivered to the plasma membrane and were active. All the TM5 mutants were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum; two of them (A854Q and A854E) retained activity. Their properties (La(3+) sensitivity and decay of the phosphorylated intermediate, higher cooperativity of Ca(2+) binding with a Hill's coefficient approaching 2) differed from those of the expressed wild type PMCA pump, and resembled those of the SERCA pump.

Abstract
Calcium-pumping ATPases are an essential component of the intracellular calcium homeostasis system and have been characterized in a large variety of species and cell types. In mammalian genomes, these proteins are encoded by gene families whose individual members feature complex tissue-specific expression and alternative splicing. In the search for a less complex system that is more amenable to genetic manipulation, we have identified a family of three genes (mca-1, mca-2, and mca-3) encoding putative calcium ATPases in the Caenorhabditis elegans Genome Project data and completed their transcript structure. In this work, we report the cloning and functional expression of the mca-1 gene, which encodes a calcium-stimulated ATPase whose features resemble those of the plasma membrane calcium adenosine triphosphatase family of mammalian cells and appears to be regulated by a multipartite promoter.

Abstract
A mutant of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump hPMCA4b(d18-75)(ct120) containing a deletion of the N-terminal amino acid residues 18-75 and lacking the C-terminal 120 amino acid residues was expressed in COS-1 cells. The deletion in the N-terminal region did not significantly affect the level of expression of the Ca2+ pump. Tryptic digestion of the hPMCA4b(d18-75)(ct120) mutant resulted in the appearance of the same fragments obtained by proteolysis of the hPMCA4b(ct120) enzyme, suggesting that deletion of residues 18-75 neither impeded the insertion in the membrane nor extensively affected the folding of the mutant protein. The functional competence of the hPMCA4b(d18-75)(ct120) enzyme was examined by measuring the Ca2+ transport and the Ca2+ ATPase activity of COS-1 cell microsomes expressing the mutant protein. Both tests proved the mutant to be inactive. Under conditions in which hPMCA4b(ct120) becomes phosphorylated, hPMCA4b(d18-75)(ct120) was incapable of reacting with ATP and Ca2+ to form the phosphoenzyme. Taken together these results suggest that the segment of amino acids 18-75 is essential for the activity of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+ pump is responsible for the fine regulation of the intracellular Ca2+ level and is thus involved in the control of several cellular processes. The activity of the pump is regulated by a multiplicity of mechanisms, among which are calmodulin, acidic phospholipids, kinase-mediated phosphorylation, or an oligomerization process. The C-terminal part of the molecule interacts with the region of the pump close to the active site, leading to the decrease of the activity in the resting state. Four genes coding for different isoforms of the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase are known in humans. Isoform 1 and 4 represent housekeeping isoforms, whereas isoforms 2 and 3 are only present in specialized tissues. The variability of the protein is further increased by alternative RNA splicing at two sites (A, C). Alternative splicing occurs within (splice site C) or near (splice site A) regions coding for regulatory domains of the protein. In all isoforms a corresponding splice form exists at both splice sites. These common splice forms are present in all tissues, whereas isoform unique splice forms are normally only present in specialized tissues. In neuronal tissues all isoforms and almost the complete set of splice forms are found. The transcripts of the different isoforms are distributed in a region-specific manner in neuronal tissues.

Abstract
The osteoblast plays a critical role in bone formation, bone remodelling, bone matrix formation, and matrix calcification. To better understand the process of osteoblast-controlled bone formation, we determined the structure and isoform types of the plasma membrane calcium pump from normal human osteoblasts. A complementary DNA library from normal human osteoblasts was screened for plasma membrane calcium pump clones. Sequencing and analysis of cDNA clones revealed the presence of a 3986 base pair cDNA that encoded a 1220 amino acid protein that was similar to the human plasma membrane calcium pump isoform 1. Polyadenylated RNA from human osteoblast cells contains bands of RNA approximately 5050 and 6750 bases long. Reverse transcription of polyadenylated RNA from human osteoblasts followed by amplification of the RNA-DNA duplex with calcium pump isoform-specific primers revealed the presence of isoforms 1 and 2 of the calcium pump. Isoform 4 was not detected. We conclude that normal adult human osteoblasts contain a plasma membrane calcium pump that is similar to the human plasma membrane calcium pump isoform 1. It is likely that this pump plays an important role in the cell biology of the human osteoblast.

Abstract
This study was conducted to identify plasma membrane Ca(2+)-transporting ATPases present in rat kidney. Characterization of the cDNAs of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases revealed a family of proteins with regions of highly conserved amino acid sequence. To examine the extent of the diversity of rat renal plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases, we used the polymerase chain reaction to detect additional gene products in rat kidney mRNA that shared these conserved regions. Sequences corresponding to three previously known rat plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases were obtained. In addition, we found sequence corresponding to a new putative plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase. Our results demonstrate that the rat kidney contains at least four different plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases and the complexity of this multigene family is greater than previously thought.

Abstract
Human plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase (PMCA) isoforms are encoded by at least four separate genes and the diversity of these enzymes is further increased by alternative splicing of transcripts. Cloned cDNAs for two of these isoforms have been used as probes to localize chromosomally the human PMCA1 (ATP2B1) gene to 12q21-q23 and PMCA4 (ATP2B2) to 1q25-q32. These results were obtained by three independent methods, including Southern analysis of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids, in situ hybridization of human metaphase spreads, and genetic linkage analysis in the CEPH pedigrees. High-frequency RFLPs detected at each locus were used in these linkage analyses. No evidence was obtained for multiple copies of the gene at either locus. A cross-hybridizing sequence was detected with PMCA4 probes on Xq13-qter at low stringency. Further studies are required to determine whether this X-chromosomal sequence represents a third member of the PMCA gene family.

Abstract
The microsomal fraction isolated from dog mesenteric nerve fibres was found to contain ATPase activity stimulated by micromolar concentrations of Ca ions. Such a high-affinity Ca2(+)-ATPase (hereafter referred to as HA Ca-ATPase) followed a Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Km for Ca ions of 0.4 microM and Vmax = 12.5 +/- 2.4 mumol Pi.mg-1h-1. The examination of the subcellular origin of HA Ca-ATPase revealed that this enzyme is associated with axonal plasma membranes as documented by its co-purification with several plasma membrane marker enzymes and with tetrodotoxin-sensitive 3H-saxitoxin binding. The addition of exogenous magnesium ions (Mg) resulted in a non-competitive inhibition of HA Ca-ATPase with Ki = 0.5 mM. The reaction velocity of HA Ca-ATPase was also inhibited by other divalent ions with the order of potency Mg greater than Mn greater than Zn greater than or equal to Co greater than Ni. In contrast to low affinity (high Km) Mg- and Ca-ATPase, the HA Ca-ATPase was insensitive to the inhibition by sodium azide (10 mM) and sodium fluoride (10 mM). Similarly, the specific activity of HA Ca-ATPase was unaffected by vanadate (100 microM) and N-ethylmaleinimide (100 microM). It is concluded that axonal plasma membranes of dog mesenteric nerves contain HA Ca-ATPase which seems to be unrelated to calcium-transporting Mg-dependent, Ca-stimulated ATPase.

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
The aim of the present work was to investigate the stimulation of the plasma-membrane Ca2+-transporting ATPase by negatively charged phospholipids. The Ca2+-transporting ATPase was purified from pig stomach smooth muscle and from pig erythrocytes, and was reactivated with phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the presence and absence of negatively charged phospholipids. The substitution of phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), phosphatidic acid (PA) or phosphatidylserine (PS) for PC induced profound changes in the Vmax, the K0.5 and the Hill coefficient of the Ca2+-activation curves for both ATPases. Low concentrations of each of the negatively charged phospholipids increased the Vmax., but high ratios of PIP, PIP2 or PA to PC decreased this parameter. PI, PA and PS increased the Vmax. of the erythrocyte enzyme to a larger extent than that of the smooth-muscle enzyme. This difference was less pronounced for PIP and absent for PIP2. PI (greater than 20% PC substituted), PIP, PIP2, PA and PS all increased the affinity of the two Ca2+-transporting ATPases for Ca2+ in the following order of potency: PIP2 greater than PIP greater than PI approximately PS approximately PA. PI, PA and PS increased the Ca2+ affinity of the smooth-muscle enzyme more than that of the erythrocyte enzyme; this difference was less pronounced for PIP and absent for PIP2. Even in the presence of calmodulin, all of the negatively charged phospholipids were still able to increase the Vmax. of the erythrocyte enzyme, whereas only PIP and PIP2 increased the affinity for Ca2+. The effect of PI at low concentrations (less than 20%) on the erythrocyte enzyme was peculiar in that it caused a decrease in the Ca2+ affinity instead of an increase. This effect was not observed for the smooth-muscle enzyme. All of the negatively charged phospholipids slightly increased the Hill coefficient for Ca2+ of both ATPases, and this effect was additive to that of calmodulin. The stimulation of the erythrocyte enzyme exhibited positive co-operativity towards PI and PIP, whereas that of the smooth-muscle enzyme did not. It is concluded (1) that there is a correlation between the number of negative charges on the phospholipids (PIP2 greater than PIP greater than PA approximately PI approximately PS) and the magnitude of their effect on the Vmax. and the K0.5 for Ca2+, and (2) that the action of the lipids on the smooth-muscle enzyme differs from that on the erythrocyte enzyme, indicating that these two Ca2+-transporting ATPases are not the same.

Abstract
Red blood cell lysis is a common symptom following severe or prolonged oxidative stress. Oxidative processes occur commonly in sickle cells, probably mediated through denatured hemoglobin and the accumulation of ferric hemes in the membranes. Calmodulin-stimulated (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from sickle red cell membranes is partially inactivated (Leclerc et al. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 897, 33-40). In this study (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity from normal adult erythrocyte membranes was measured in the presence of hemin. We report a time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of the activity of the enzyme by hemin due to a decrease in the maximum velocity. Only a mild inhibitory effect was observed in the presence of iron-free protoporphyrin IX, indicating the catalytic influence of the iron. Experiments carried out with hemin (ferric iron) liganded with imidazole or with reduced protoheme (ferrous iron) liganded with carbon monoxide, demonstrated that the inhibition requires that hemin be capable of binding additional ligands. The inhibition was not influenced by the absence of oxygen but was prevented by addition of bovine serum albumin. Addition of butylated hydroxytoluene, a protective agent of lipid peroxidation, failed to prevent the inhibition of calmodulin-stimulated (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. As dithiothreitol partially restores the enzyme activity, we postulated that hemin interacts with the thiol groups of the enzyme.
