Abstract
The present study demonstrates the following characteristic suramin actions on the purified skeletal muscle calcium release channel in single-channel current recordings and [(3)H]ryanodine binding to HSR: 1) Suramin (0.3-0.9 mM) induced a concentration-dependent increase in the open probability (P(o) congruent with 0.9) at 20 to 100 microM Ca(2+) and an almost fully open channel at 1 mM Ca(2+) (P(o) = 0.95) with a marked shift to longer open states (tau(o)3/tau(o)4). Suramin increased the apparent calcium affinity to the activating high-affinity calcium binding sites and reduced the apparent magnesium affinity to the inhibitory low affinity Ca(2+)/Mg(2+) binding sites. 2) Channel activation by suramin and sulfhydryl oxidation was additive. 3) Suramin (0.9 mM) reversed the Ca-calmodulin-induced channel inhibition at 0.1 or 1 to 5 microM Ca-calmodulin. 4) The open probability of the suramin activated channel was almost completely inhibited by 10 mM Mg(2+) or Ca(2+) on short suramin exposure. Prolonged suramin exposure (30-60 min) resulted in a time-dependent, slow increase in P(o), with long open states of low frequency in the presence of 10 to 20 mM Mg(2+) or Ca(2+). 5) Magnesium induced inhibition of P(o) (IC(50) = 0.38 mM) and equilibrium [(3)H]ryanodine binding (IC(50) = 0.30 mM) agreed well in control channels, but were dissociated in the presence of 0.9 to 1.0 mM suramin (IC(50) = 0.82 mM versus 83 mM). [(3)H]ryanodine binding seemed to monitor predominantly the long-term alteration in channel function. 6) The multiple effects of suramin on channel function suggest an allosteric mechanism and no direct effects on binding of endogenous ligands involved in channel gating.

Abstract
The modulation of the calmodulin-induced inhibition of the calcium release channel (ryanodine receptor) by two sulfhydryl oxidizing compounds, 4-(chloromercuri)phenyl-sulfonic acid (4-CMPS) and 4, 4'-dithiodipyridine (4,4'-DTDP) was determined by single channel current recordings with the purified and reconstituted calcium release channel from rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) and [(3)H]ryanodine binding to HSR vesicles. 0.1 microm CaM reduced the open probability (P(o)) of the calcium release channel at maximally activating calcium concentrations (50-100 microm) from 0.502 +/- 0.02 to 0.137 +/- 0.022 (n = 28), with no effect on unitary conductance. 4-CMPS (10-40 microm) and 4,4'-DTDP (0.1-0.3 mm) induced a concentration dependent increase in P(o) (> 0.9) and caused the appearance of longer open states. CaM shifted the activation of the calcium release channel by 4-CMPS or 4,4'-DTDP to higher concentrations in single channel recordings and [(3)H]ryanodine binding. 40 microm 4-CMPS induced a near maximal (P(o) > 0.9) and 0.3 mm 4,4'-DTDP a submaximal (P(o) = 0.74) channel opening in the presence of CaM, which was reversed by the specific sulfhydryl reducing agent DTT. Neither 4-CMPS nor 4,4'-DTDP affected Ca-[(125)I]calmodulin binding to HSR. 1 mm MgCl(2) reduced P(o) from 0.53 to 0.075 and 20-40 microm 4-CMPS induced a near maximal channel activation (P(o) > 0.9). These results demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of CaM or magnesium in a physiological concentration is diminished or abolished at high concentrations of 4-CMPS or 4,4'-DTDP through oxidation of activating sulfhydryls on cysteine residues of the calcium release channel.

Abstract
The actions of the nitric oxide (NO) donors 1-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-(N-methyl-3-aminopropyl)-3 methyl-1-triazine (NOC-7), S-nitrosoacetylcysteine (CySNO) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) on the purified calcium release channel (ryanodine receptor) of rabbit skeletal muscle were determined by single channel current recordings. In addition, the activation of the NO donor modulated calcium release channel by the sulfhydryl oxidizing organic mercurial compound 4-(chloromercuri)phenylsulfonic acid (4-CMPS) was investigated. NOC-7 (0.1 and 0.3 mM) and CySNO (0.4 and 0.8 mM) increased the open probability (P(o)) of the calcium release channel at activating calcium concentrations (20-100 microM Ca(2+)) by 60-100%, with no effect on the current amplitude; this activation was abolished by the specific sulfhydryl reducing agent DTT. High concentrations of CySNO (1.6-2 mM) decreased P(o). Activation by GSNO (1 mM) was observed in two thirds of the experiments, but 2 mM and 4 mM GSNO markedly reduced P(o) at activating Ca(2+) (20-100 microM). In contrast to 4-CMPS, NOC-7 or GSNO had no effect at subactivating free Ca(2+) (0.6 microM). 4-CMPS further increased the open probability of NOC-7- or CySNO-stimulated channels and reversed transiently the reduced open probability of CySNO or GSNO inhibited channels at activating free Ca(2+). High concentrations of GSNO did not prevent channel activation of 4-CMPS at subactivating free Ca(2+). The NOC-7-, CySNO- or GSNO-modified channels were completely blocked by ruthenium red. It is suggested that nitrosylation/oxidation of sulfhydryls by NO donors and oxidation of sulfhydryls by 4-CMPS affect different cysteine residues essential in the gating of the calcium release channel.

Abstract
Contraction of skeletal muscle is triggered by the rapid release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum via the ryanodine receptor/calcium-release channel. The trypanocidal drug suramin is an efficient activator of the ryanodine receptor. Here, we used high-affinity [3H]ryanodine binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit skeletal muscle to screen for more potent analogs of suramin. This approach resulted in the identification of NF307, which accelerates the association rate of [3H]ryanodine binding with an EC50 = 91 +/- 7 microM at 0.19 microM calculated free Ca2+. In single-channel recordings with the purified ryanodine receptor, NF307 increased mean open probability at 0.6 microM Ca2+ from 0.020 +/- 0.006 to 0.53 +/- 0.07 with no effect on current amplitude and unitary conductance. Like caffeine, NF307 exerts a very pronounced Ca2+-sensitizing effect (EC50 of Ca2+ shifted approximately 10-fold by saturating NF307 concentrations). Conversely, increasing concentrations of free Ca2+ sensitized the receptor for NF307 (EC50 = 14.6 +/- 3.5 microM at 0.82 microM estimated free Ca2+). The effects of NF307 and caffeine on [3H]ryanodine binding were additive, irrespective of the Ca2+ concentration. In contrast, the effects of calmodulin, which activates and inhibits the ryanodine receptor in the absence and presence of Ca2+, respectively, and of NF307 were mutually antagonistic. If the purified ryanodine receptor was prebound to a calmodulin-Sepharose matrix, 100 microM NF307 and 300 microM suramin eluted the purified ryanodine receptor to an extent that was comparable to the effect of 10 microM calmodulin. We conclude that NF307 and suramin interact directly with a calmodulin binding domain of the ryanodine receptor. Because of its potent calcium-sensitizing effect, NF307 may represent a lead compound in the search of synthetic ryanodine receptor ligands.

Abstract
The actions of two organic mercurial compounds, 4-(chloromercuri)phenyl-sulfonic acid (4-CMPS) and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (p-CMB) on the calcium release channel (ryanodine receptor) from rabbit skeletal muscle were determined by single channel recordings with the purified calcium release channel, radioligand binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles (HSR) and calcium release from HSR. p-CMB or 4-CMPS (20-100 microM) increased the mean open probability (Po) of the calcium channel at subactivating (20 nM), maximally activating (20-100 microM and inhibitory (1-4 mM) Ca2+ concentrations, with no effect on unitary conductance. This activation was partly reversed by 2 mM DTT. Both compounds affected the channels only from the cytosolic side, but not from the trans side. 100 microM 4-CMPS caused a transient increase in Po, followed by a low activity state within 1 min. At inhibitory Ca2+ concentrations Po was increased to values observed with maximally activating Ca2+ or lower, inhibitory Ca2+ concentrations. The p-CMB/4-CMPS modified channels were ryanodine sensitive and blocked by ruthenium red. [3H]Ryanodine binding was increased up to four-fold with 3-15 microM 4-CMPS/p-CMB (Hill coefficient 1.7-2.0) at 4 microM Ca2+ and reduced at high concentrations (50-200 microM). The increase in [3H]ryanodine binding by 10 microM 4-CMPS was completely inhibited by 2 mM DTT. 4-CMPS significantly increased the affinity for the high affinity calcium activation sites and decreased the affinity of low affinity calcium inhibitory sites of specific [3H]ryanodine binding. 4-CMPS increased the affinity of the ryanodine receptor for high affinity ryanodine binding without a change in receptor density. 4-CMPS induced a rapid, concentration-dependent, biphasic calcium release from passively calcium-loaded HSR vesicles at subactivating Ca2+ concentrations (20 nM), which was partly inhibited by 4 mM DTT and completely blocked by 20 microM ruthenium red. It is suggested that the 4-CMPS-induced modulation of essential sulfhydryls involved in the gating of the calcium release channel results in a modulation of the apparent calcium affinity of the activating high affinity and inhibitory low affinity calcium binding sites of the calcium release channel.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor is the main Ca(2+)-release structure in skeletal and cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. In both tissues, phosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor has been proposed to be involved in the regulation of Ca2+ release. In the present study, we have examined the ability of the purified cardiac ryanodine receptor to serve as a substrate for phosphorylation by exogenously added catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PK-A), cyclic GMP (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (PK-G), or calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (PK-CaM). A large amount of phosphate incorporation was observed for PK-CaM (938 +/- 48 pmol of Pi/mg of purified channel protein), whereas the level of phosphorylation was considerably lower with PK-A or PK-G (345 +/- 139 and 96 +/- 6 pmol/mg respectively). In addition, endogenous PK-CaM activity co-migrates with the ryanodine receptor through several steps of purification, suggesting a strong association of the two proteins. This endogenous PK-CaM activity is abolished by a PK-CaM-specific synthetic peptide inhibitor. Endogenous cAMP- and cGMP-dependent phosphorylation was not observed in the purified ryanodine-receptor preparation. Taken together, these observations imply that PK-CaM is the physiologically relevant protein kinase, capable of phosphorylating the channel protein to a minimum stoichiometry of 2 mol of Pi per mol of tetramer.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the phosphorylation of the purified ryanodine receptor-calcium release channel (RyR) of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A), cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-G) and Ca(2+)-, CaM-dependent protein kinase (PK-CaM) and the localization of phosphorylation sites. Phosphorylation was highest with PK-A (about 0.9 mol phosphate/mol receptor subunit), between one-half to two-thirds with PK-G and between one-third and more than two-thirds with PK-CaM. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed solely labeled phosphoserine with PK-A and PK-G and phosphoserine and phosphothreonine with PK-CaM. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of cyanogen bromide/trypsin digests of the phosphorylated RyR (purified by gel permeation HPLC) and two-dimensional peptide maps revealed one major phosphopeptide by PK-A and PK-G phosphorylation and several labeled peaks by PK-CaM phosphorylation. Automated Edman sequence analysis of the major phosphopeptide obtained from PK-A and PK-G phosphorylation and one phosphopeptide obtained from PK-CaM phosphorylation yielded the sequence KISQTAQTYDPR (residues 2841-2852) with serine 2843 as phosphorylation site (corresponding to the consensus sequence RKIS), demonstrating that all three protein kinases phosphorylate the same serine residue in the center of the receptor subunit, a region proposed to contain the modulator binding sites of the calcium release channel.

Abstract
Calcium-independent calcium efflux from heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) of skeletal muscle was found to be biphasic, with half-times of 2-6 s and 200-400 s for the first and second phase, respectively. Calcium-, AMP- and caffeine-induced calcium efflux was triphasic, with half-times of 0.05-0.2 s, 1-5 s and 100-400 s for the first, second and third phases, respectively. This very fast first phase is certainly due to calcium efflux via the calcium-release channel of HSR vesicles. Both ruthenium red and neomycin inhibited the first phase of the calcium-independent calcium efflux and the first phase of the calcium-, AMP- or caffeine-induced calcium efflux completely, whilst the second phase was fully inhibited by ruthenium red only and partially inhibited by neomycin at high concentrations, indicating that the second phase of calcium release also occurs via the calcium-release channel. Various models for calcium efflux through the release channel have been tested by simulation. Activation and inhibition of the channel-mediated calcium efflux from HSR cannot be explained by two states of the calcium-release channel (open or closed), but requires the existence of at least three states. A channel with one open state and two closed states, resulting in a rapid inactivation, is the most simple model compatible with the experimental data. According to this model, activation is assumed to reduce inactivation of the channel, whilst inhibition assumes an acceleration of channel inactivation. This mechanism most likely applies to neomycin. An additional open-blocked state has to be assumed for inhibition by ruthenium red.

Abstract
Activation and inhibition of the calcium release channel of rabbit skeletal muscle heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) was investigated by various methods. The calcium release channel is activated by binding of calcium in the micromolar range and by binding of adenine nucleotides in the millimolar range. Ruthenium red and neomycin are potent inhibitors of the channel at nanomolar to micromolar concentrations. Dantrolene inhibits the rate of caffeine-induced calcium release. Several models of the calcium release channel were considered to explain the three-phasic calcium release from HSR vesicles. Simulation of calcium efflux data according to various models suggest that the calcium release channel has at least three states. The experimental results can be explained by assuming one open and two closed states of the calcium release channel, but not by assuming one open and one closed state.

Abstract
The effect of calmodulin on calcium release from heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated with actively and passively calcium loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and measured either spectrophotometrically with arsenazo III or by Millipore filtration technique. The transient calcium-, caffeine- and AMP-induced calcium release from actively loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was reduced to 29%, 51% and 59% of the respective control value by 1 microM exogenous calmodulin. Stopped-flow measurements demonstrate that calmodulin reduces the apparent rate of caffeine-induced calcium release from actively loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum. The rate of calcium uptake measured in the presence of ruthenium red, which blocks the calcium release channel, was not affected by calmodulin or calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with ATP[S]. The rate of the calcium-, caffeine- and AMP-induced calcium release from passively loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was reduced 1.4-2.0-fold by 1 microM exogenous calmodulin, i.e. the half-time of release was maximally increased by a factor of two, whilst calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of a 57 kDa protein with ATP[S] had no effect. The data indicate that calmodulin itself regulates the calcium release channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Calcium release from isolated heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscle by several calmodulin antagonistic drugs was measured spectrophotometrically with arsenazo III and compared with the properties of the caffeine-induced calcium release. Trifluoperazine and W7 (about 500 microM) released all actively accumulated calcium (half-maximum release at 129 microM and 98 microM, respectively) in the presence 0.5 mM MgCl2 and 1 mg/ml sarcoplasmic reticulum protein; calmidazolium (100 microM) and compound 48/80 (70 micrograms/ml) released maximally 30-40% calcium, whilst bepridil (100 microM) and felodipin (50 microM) with calmodulin antagonistic strength similar to trifluoperazine (determined by inhibition of the calcium, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum) did not cause a detectable calcium release, indicating that this drug-induced calcium release is not due to the calmodulin antagonistic properties of the tested drugs. Calcium release of trifluoperazine, W7 and compound 48/80 and that of caffeine was inhibited by similar concentrations of magnesium (half-inhibition 1.4-4.2 mM compared with 0.97 mM for caffeine) and ruthenium red (half-inhibition for trifluoperazine, W7 and compound 48/80 was 0.22 microM, 0.08 microM and 0.63 micrograms/ml, respectively, compared with 0.13 microM for caffeine), suggesting that this drug-induced calcium release occurs via the calcium-gated calcium channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum stimulated by caffeine or channels with similar properties.

Abstract
Calcium dissociation from the C-terminal and N-terminal halves of calmodulin, intact bovine brain calmodulin and the respective phenoxybenzamine complexes or melittin complexes was measured directly by stopped-flow fluorescence with the calcium chelator Quin 2 and, when possible, also by protein fluorescence using endogenous tyrosine fluorescence by mixing with EGTA. Calcium dissociation from the C-terminal half of calmodulin, which contains only the two high-affinity calcium-binding sites, and from intact calmodulin was monophasic, with good correlation of the rates of calcium dissociation obtained by the two methods. The apparent rates with Quin 2 and endogenous tyrosine fluorescence were 13.4 s-1 and 12.8 s-1, respectively, in the C-terminal half and 10.5 s-1 and 10.8 s-1, respectively, in intact calmodulin (pH 7.0, 25 degrees C, 100 mM KCl). Alkylation of the C-terminal half resulted in a biphasic calcium dissociation (Quin 2: kobs 1.90 s-1 and 0.73 s-1 respectively; tyrosine: kobs 1.65 s-1 and 0.61 s-1 respectively). Alkylation of intact calmodulin resulted in a four-phase calcium dissociation measured with Quin 2 (kobs 85.3 s-1, 11.1 s-1, 1.92 s-1 and 0.59 s-1); the latter two phases are assumed to represent calcium release from high-affinity sites since they correspond to the biphasic tyrosine fluorescence change in intact alkylated calmodulin (kobs 2.04 s-1 and 0.53 s-1 respectively) and the rate parameters determined in the C-terminal half. Evidently perturbation of the calcium-binding sites by alkylation reduces the rate of calcium dissociation and allows a distinction to be made between dissociation from each of the two high-affinity sites as well as the distinct conformational change on dissociation of each calcium. Alkylation of the N-terminal half resulted in biphasic calcium release with rates (kobs 153 s-1 and 10.9 s-1 respectively) similar to those observed in intact alkylated calmodulin. The rates of calcium dissociation from calmodulin-melittin or fragment-melittin complexes, measured with Quin 2, were slower and monophasic in the C-terminal half (kobs 1.12 s-1), biphasic in the N-terminal half (kobs 140 s-1 and 26.8 s-1 respectively) and triphasic in intact calmodulin (kobs 126 s-1, 12.1 s-1 and 1.38 s-1). Calmodulin antagonists thus increase the apparent calcium affinity of high and low-affinity sites mainly due to a reduced calcium 'off rate', presumably because of conformation restrictions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Calcium release from high and low-affinity calcium-binding sites of intact bovine brain calmodulin (CaM) and from the tryptic fragment 78-148, purified by high-pressure liquid chromatography, containing only the high-affinity calcium-binding sites, was determined by fluorescence stopped-flow with 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene sulfonate (TNS). The tryptic fragments 1-77 and 78-148 each contain a calcium-dependent TNS-binding site, as shown by the calcium-dependent increase in TNS fluorescence. The rate of the monophasic fluorescence decrease in endogenous tyrosine on calcium dissociation from intact calcium-saturated calmodulin (kobs 10.8 s-1 and 3.2 s-1 at 25 degrees C and 10 degrees C respectively) as well as the rate of equivalent slow phase of the biphasic decrease in TNS fluorescence (kobsslow 10.6 s-1 and 3.0 s-1 at 25 degrees C and 10 degrees C respectively) and the rate of the solely monophasic decrease in TNS fluorescence, obtained with fragment 78-148 (kobs 10.7 s-1 and 3.5 s-1 at 25 degrees C and 10 degrees C respectively), were identical, indicating that the rate of the conformational change associated with calcium release from the high-affinity calcium-binding sites on the C-terminal half of calmodulin is not influenced by the N-terminal half of the molecule. The fast phase of the biphasic decrease of TNS fluorescence, observed by the N-terminal half of the molecule. The fast phase of the biphasic decrease of TNS fluorescence, observed with intact calmodulin only (kobsfast 280 s-1 at 10 degrees C) but not with fragment 78-148, is most probably due to the conformational change associated with calcium release from low-affinity sites on the N-terminal half. The calmodulin fragments 1-77 and 78-148 neither activated calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum nor inhibited calmodulin-dependent activation at a concentration approximately 1000-fold greater (5 microM) than that of the calmodulin required for half-maximum activation (5.9 nM at 0.8 mM Ca2+ and 5 mM Mg2+) of calmodulin-dependent phosphoester formation.

Abstract
Calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum increases the rate of calcium transport. The complex dependence of calmodulin-dependent phosphoester formation on free calcium and total calmodulin concentrations can be satisfactorily explained by assuming that CaM X (Ca2+)4 is the sole calmodulin-calcium species which activates the calcium-, calmodulin-dependent, membrane-bound protein kinase. The apparent dissociation constant of the E X CaM X (Ca2+)4 complex determined from the calcium dependence of calmodulin-dependent phosphoester formation over a 100-fold range of total calmodulin concentrations (0.01-1 microM) was 0.9 nM; the respective apparent dissociation constant at 0.8 mM free calcium, 1 mM free magnesium with low calmodulin concentrations (0.1-50 nM) was 2.60 nM. These results are in good agreement with the apparent dissociation constant of 2.54 nM of high affinity calmodulin binding determined by 125I-labelled calmodulin binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions at 1 mM free calcium, 1 mM free magnesium and total calmodulin concentration ranging from 0.1 to 150 nM, i.e. conditions where approximately 98% of the total calmodulin is present as CaM X (Ca2+)4. The apparent dissociation constant of the calcium-free calmodulin-enzyme complex (E X CaM) is at least 100-fold greater than the apparent dissociation constant of the E X CaM X (Ca2+)4 complex, as judged from non-saturation 125I-labelled calmodulin binding at total calmodulin concentrations of up to 150 nM, in the absence of calcium.

Abstract
The calcium-dependent acylphosphate formed by the calcium transport ATPase of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and the calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphoester(s) of sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions formed by a calcium-, calmodulin-dependent membrane-bound protein kinase can be distinguished by removal of calcium and/or magnesium by EDTA or hydroxylamine treatment of the acid denaturated membranes. Both procedures decompose the acylphosphate with little effect on the phosphoester(s). Calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation (2.44 nmol/mg SR protein) reduces the apparent K(Ca) of the acylphosphate steady state level of the calcium transport ATPase from 0.56 to 0.34 microM free calcium, without affecting the maximum phosphoenzyme level (0.93 versus 0.89 nmol/mg protein), and has little, if any, effect on the Hill-coefficient (1.32 versus 1.54).

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to prove a correlation between the calmodulin-dependent increase in the rate of calcium transport by dog cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. The dependence of phosphorylation on the total calmodulin concentration at 75 microM and 1 microM free calcium gave apparent calmodulin half-saturation constants Km (CaM) of 9.4 nM and 181 nM, respectively, whilst the apparent Km (CaM) for the rate of calmodulin-stimulated calcium transport carried out at 1 microM calcium, but phosphorylated prior to the calcium uptake at 75 microM or 1 microM calcium, were 12.5 nM and 127 nM, respectively. A positive correlation was obtained between calmodulin-dependent increase in the rate of calcium transport and hydroxylamine-insensitive phosphoester formed by the calcium/calmodulin-regulated, membrane-bound protein kinase. More than 90% of incorporated [32P]phosphate is confined to a 26-28-kDa or 9-11-kDa protein as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following solubilization in sodium dodecyl sulfate at 37 degrees C and at 100 degrees C, respectively, similar to the results obtained by phosphorylation with cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The data indicate that calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of the above protein(s) is causally related to the stimulation of the rate of calcium transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is at least partially due to a shift in the calcium dependence of the rate of calcium transport to lower free calcium concentrations, K(Ca), of 1.25 microM and 0.61 microM in controls and calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation, respectively. Activation of calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation by free calcium at total calmodulin concentrations of 300 nM, 100 nM and 30 nM gave apparent K(Ca) values of 0.83 microM, 1.44 microM and 2.3 microM and Hill coefficients of 4.13, 3.76 and 3.79, respectively, indicating that all four calcium binding sites of calmodulin have to be saturated to obtain activation of the calcium/calmodulin-regulated protein kinase. The calmodulin-dependent modulation of calcium transport in vivo is, therefore, determined to great extent by the total calmodulin concentration present in the sarcoplasm.

Abstract
The rate of calcium transport by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from dog heart assayed at 25 degrees C, pH 7.0, in the presence of oxalate and a low free Ca2+ concentration (approx. 0.5 microM) was increased from 0.091 to 0.162 mumol . mg-1 . min-1 with 100 nM calmodulin, when the calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation was carried out prior to the determination of calcium uptake in the presence of a higher concentration of free Ca2+ (preincubation with magnesium, ATP and 100 microM CaCl2; approx. 75 microM free Ca2+). Half-maximal activation of calcium uptake occurs under these conditions at 10-20 nM calmodulin. The rate of calcium-activated ATP hydrolysis by the Ca2+-, Mg2+-dependent transport ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum was increased by 100 nM calmodulin in parallel with the increase in calcium transport; calcium-independent ATP splitting was unaffected. The calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum, preincubated with approx. 75 microM Ca2+ and assayed at approx. 10 microM Ca2+ approaches maximally 3 nmol/mg protein, with a half-maximal activation at about 8 nM calmodulin; it is abolished by 0.5 mM trifluperazine. More than 90% of the incorporated [32P]phosphate is confined to a 9-11 kDa protein, which is also phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and most probably represents a subunit of phospholamban. The stimulatory effect of 100 nM calmodulin on the rate of calcium uptake assayed at 0.5 microM Ca2+ was smaller following preincubation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with calmodulin in the presence of approx. 75 microM Ca2+, but in the absence of ATP, and was associated with a significant degree of calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. However, the stimulatory effect on calcium uptake and that on calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation were both absent after preincubation with calmodulin, without calcium and ATP, suggestive of a causal relationship between these processes.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to test simple reaction sequences which describe calcium-independent plus calcium-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum transport. ATPase by orthophosphate including the function of magnesium in phosphoenzyme formation. The reaction schemes considered were based on the reaction sequence for calcium-independent phosphorylation proposed previously; namely that the transport enzyme (E) forms a ternary complex (Mg . E . Pi), by random binding of free magnesium and free orthophosphate, which is in equilibrium with the magnesium-phosphoenzyme (Mg . E-P). Phosphorylation, performed at pH 7.0 20 degrees C and a constant free orthophosphate concentration using sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles either unloaded or loaded passively with calcium in the presence of 5 mM or 40 mM CaCl2, resulted in a gradual decrease in the apparent magnesium half-saturation constant and an increase in maximum phosphoprotein formation with increasing calcium loads. When phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles preloaded in the presence of 5 mM CaCl2 was performed at a constant free magnesium concentration, a decrease in the apparent orthophosphate half-saturation constant and an increase in maximum phosphoprotein formation was observed as compared with vesicles from which calcium inside has been removed by ionophore X-537A plus EGTA treatment; however, both parameters remained unchanged by increasing free magnesium from 20 mM to 30 mM. When phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles passively loaded with calcium in the presence of 40 mM CaCl2, at which the saturation of the low-affinity calcium binding sites of the ATPase is presumably near maximum, was performed at increasing concentrations of free orthophosphate, there was a parallel shift of phosphoprotein formation as a function of free magnesium and vice versa, with no change in the maximum phosphoenzyme formation. Comparison of the experimental data with the pattern of phosphoprotein formation predicted from model equations for various theoretical possible reaction sequences suggests that phosphoenzyme formation from orthophosphate possesses the following features. Firstly, calcium present at the inside of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane binds to the free enzyme and in sequential order to E . Mg . Pi or Mg . E-P or to both, but neither to E. Mg nor to E . Pi. Secondly, calcium-independent and calcium-dependent phosphoproteins are magnesium-phosphoenzymes. Calcium-dependent phosphoenzyme is a magnesium-calcium-enzyme phosphate complex with 1 magnesium, 2 calciums and 1 orthophosphate (the last covalently) bound to the enzyme [Mg . E-P . (Cai)2], and not a 'calcium-phosphoprotein' without bound magnesium.

Abstract
Calcium loading of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum performed passively by incubation with high calcium concentrations (0.5--15 mM) on ice gives calcium loads of 50--60 nmol/mg sarcoplasmic reticulum protein. This accumulated calcium is not released by EGTA [ethyleneglycol bis-(2-aminoethyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid], but almost completely released by ionophore X-537A plus EGTA or phospholipase A plus EGTA treatment and is therefore assumed to be inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This calcium is distributed in one saturable and one non-saturable calcium compartment, as derived from the dependence of the calcium load on the calcium concentration in the medium. These compartments are assigned to bound and ionized calcium inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum, respectively. Maximum calcium binding under these conditions was 33 nmol/mg protein with an apparent half-saturation constant of 5,8 nmol/mg free calcium inside, or between 1.2 and 0.6 mM free calcium inside, assuming an average vesicular water space of 5 or 10 microliter/mg protein, respectively. Calcium-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-transport ATPase from orthophosphate depends on the square of free calcium inside, whilst inhibition of phosphorylation depends on the square of free calcium in the medium. Calcium-dependent phosphorylation appears to be determined by the free calcium concentrations inside or outside allowing calcium binding to the ATPase according to the two classes of calcium binding constants for low affinity calcium binding or high affinity calcium binding, respectively. It is further suggested that the saturation of the low-affinity calcium-binding sites of the ATPase facing the inside of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane is responsible for the greater apparent orthophosphate and magnesium affinity in calcium-dependent phosphorylation than in calcium-independent phosphorylation from orthophosphate. Maximum calcium-dependent phosphoprotein formation at 20 degrees C and pH 7.0 is about 4 nmol/mg sarcoplasmic reticulum protein.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of the calcium-transport ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum by inorganic phosphate was investigated in the presence or absence of a calcium gradient. The maximum phosphoprotein formation in the presence of a calcium gradient at 20 degrees C and pH 7.0 is approximately 4 nmol/mg sarcoplasmic reticulum protein, but only between 2.4 and 2.8 nmol/mg protein in the absence of a calcium gradient, using Ionophore X-537 A or phospholipase-A-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. Maximum phosphoprotein formation independent of calcium gradient at 20 degrees C and pH 6.2 is in the range of 3.6--4 nmol/mg protein. Half-maximum phosphoprotein formation dependent on calcium gradient was achieved with 0.1--0.2 mM free orthophosphate at 10 mM free magnesium or at 0.1--0.2 mM free magnesium at 10 mM free orthophosphate. Phosphoprotein formation independent of calcium gradient is in accordance with a model which assumes, firstly, the formation of a ternary complex of the ATPase protein with orthophosphate and magnesium (E . Pi . Mg) in equilibrium with the phosphoprotein (E-Pi . Mg) and, secondly, an interdependence of both ions in the formation of the ternary complex. The apparent equilibrium constant was 0.6 and the apparent dissociation constants KMg, KMg', KPi and KPi' were 8.8, 1.9, 7.2 and 1.5 mM respectively, assuming a total concentration of the phosphorylation site per enzyme of 7 nmol/mg protein.

Abstract
The reversal of the calcium pump of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) prepared from dogs was investigated. Phosphorylation of the calcium transport ATPase by orthophosphate and ATP synthesis from ADP and orthophosphate by SR passively preloaded with calcium are demonstrated. The ADP-dependent calcium efflux from SR loaded with calcium in the presence of acetylphosphate is stoichiometrically coupled to ATP synthesis from ADP and orthophosphate.

Abstract
1. The effect was studied of local anesthetics (tetracaine, dibucaine, procaine and xylocaine) on the forward and the backward reactions of the calcium pump of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. 2. The inhibition of the rate of calcium uptake, the rate of calcium-dependent ATP splitting and the rate of calcium-dependent ATP-ADP phosphate exchange by sarcoplasmic reticulum in the presence of the above drugs is at least partially due to the inhibition of the phosphoprotein formation from ATP. 3. The rate of the ADP-induced calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum and the rate of ATP synthesis driven by the calcium efflux are inhibited on account of a reduction of the phosphoprotein formation by orthophosphate. 4. The phosphorylation of calcium transport ATPase by either ATP or orthophosphate is diminished by the local anesthetics owing to a reduction in the apparent calcium affinity of sarcoplasmic reticulum emmbranes on the outside and on the inside, respectively. 5. The drug-induced calcium efflux from calcium-preloaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, a reaction not requiring ADP, is probably not mediated by calcium transport ATPase.

Abstract
1. The terminal phosphate of (gamma-32P)ATP is rapidly incorporated into cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes (0.7--1.3 mumol/g protein) in the presence of calcium and magnesium. Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes catalize an ATP-ADP phosphate exchange in the presence of calcium and magnesium. 2. Half-maximum activation of the phosphoprotein formation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange is reached at an ionized calcium concentration of about 0.3 muM. The Hill coefficients are 1.3. 3. Transphosphorylation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange require magnesium and are maximally activated at magnesium concentrations close to or equal to the ATP concentration. 4. The phosphoprotein level is reduced to about 45% at an ADP/ATP ratio of 0.1. The rate of calcium-dependent ATP splitting declines, whilst the rate of the calcium-dependent ATP-ADP phosphate exchange increases when the ADP/ATP ratio is varied from 0.1 to 1. The sum of both, the rate of ATP splitting and the rate of ADP-ATP phosphate exchange remains constant. 5. Phosphoprotein formation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange are not affected by azide, dinitrophenol, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and oubain, whilst both activities are reduced by blockade of -SH groups localized on the outside of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. 6. The isolated phosphoprotein is acid stable. The trichloroacetic acid denatured 32P-labelled membrane complex is dephosphorylated by hydroxylamine, which might indicate that the phosphorylated protein is an acyl-phosphate. 7. Polyacrylamide gel elctrophoresis (performed with phenol/acetic acid/water) of phosphorylated sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions demonstrates that the 32P-incorporation occurs into a protein of about 100000 molecular weight. 8. It is suggested that the phosphoprotein represents a phosphorylated intermediate of the calcium-dependent ATPase which formation occurs as an early step in the reaction sequence of calcium translocation by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum similar as in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
1. Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was prepared by differential centrifugation from euthyroid, hyperthyroid, hypothyroid as well as (131)I-treated plus thyroxine-substituted rabbits. The function of the isolated SR has been characterized by measuring the ATP-dependent calcium uptake, the calcium storing capacity, the calcium concentrating ability and the calcium-dependent ATP hydrolysis by the calcium-activated ATPase in the presence of oxalate.2. The rate of calcium uptake and the rate of the calcium-dependent ATP hydrolysis (calcium-activated ATPase) by the SR were significantly increased in hyperthyroidism, whilst both activities were markedly reduced in hypothyroidism. Thyroxine administration to (131)I-treated animals prevented a decrease in the rate of calcium uptake as well as in the rate of the calcium-dependent ATP hydrolysis by the calcium-activated ATPase.3. The transport ratio (rate of calcium uptake divided by the rate of calcium-dependent ATP hydrolysis) of SR preparations from euthyroid controls was 0.93, suggesting a stoicheiometry of calcium uptake and calcium-activated ATP split of 1.0. The transport ratio was unchanged in one hyper- and hypothyroid group, whilst a small but significant decrease or increase was observed after an excessive thyroxine treatment of a prolonged state of hypothyroidism, respectively.4. The saturation kinetics of calcium transport by the SR were described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The maximum rate of calcium uptake (V) was 0.193+/-0.004, 0.223+/-0.002 and 0.124+/-0.003 mumole Ca(2+)/mg protein. min (means +/-S.E.) for euthyroid, hyperthyroid and hypothyroid SR, respectively. The Michaelis constants (K(m)) were (2.87+/-0.30) x 10(-7)M (2.68+/-0.15) x 10(-7)M and (4.00+/-0.48) x 10(-7)M for the euthyroid, hyperthyroid and hypothyroid SR, respectively (means +/-S.E.). The K(m) values for the hyper- and hypothyroid SR were not significantly different from controls.5. The calcium storing capacity as well as the calcium concentrating ability of the SR was unaltered at different levels of thyroid activity.6. The steady-state level of calcium was the same for SR isolated from euthyroid, hyperthyroid and hypothyroid rabbits, indicating that calcium influx and calcium efflux are strongly coupled at steady-state filling of the SR.7. It is suggested that the increased or reduced rate of calcium transport by the SR in hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, respectively, found in vitro, might be at least partially responsible for the shortening of the relaxation time of cardiac muscle in the hyperthyroid state and the prolongation of the relaxation time in the hypothyroid state observed in vitro and in vivo.

The function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the failing myocardiums was studied in vitro by comparing calcium uptake and calcium-activated ATPase in microsomes prepared from hearts of control calves and calves in which right ventricular failure developed during experimentally induced pulmonary hypertension. The rate of calcium uptake averaged .147 µmole·mg

at 25°C in the presence of oxalate in control preparations and was significantly reduced in preparations from failing right ventricles (avg .086 µmoles·mg

·min

). Calcium-activated ATPase was also diminished significantly in failure (avg .184 compared to .073 µmoles·mg
-1
·min

). Although two preparations also showed diminished calcium activities in the nonfailing left ventricle, group these activities were not significantly depressed in preparations from ventricle in calves with failure. A similar reduction in calcium activities observed at 37°C with preparations further purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation. The uptake capacity of microsomes, measured as calcium uptake in the absence of oxalate, was not diminished in the preparations from failing hearts. Mitochondrial contamination did not appear to be a factor since azide inhibited calcium activity almost completely in mitochondria, whereas inhibition was less than 10% in microsomes of both control and failing hearts. Ouabain had no effect on the microsomes from failing hearts. These studies indicate that there is a defect in calcium transport in microsomes and a functional abnormality of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the intact myocardial cell in heart failure which could lead to changes in the excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms of clinical importance.

Abstract
Postextrasystolic potentiation was studied in the isolated perfused rabbit heart to determine its effect on intracellular calcium, sodium, and potassium concentration,
45
Ca uptake, and calcium distribution in mitochondria and microsomes. Paired stimulation at 80/min augmented myocardial contractility with a gradually developing increase in total intracellular calcium and sodium. A greater
45
Ca uptake was also observed and this was proportionate to the increase of intracellular calcium so that no change in exchangeable calcium occurred. A small but statistically insignificant increment was observed in mitochondrial and microsomal calcium. An increase of the rate of single stimuli to 160/min produced a minimal change in myocardial contractility compared to paired stimulation at 80/min, no change in total intracellular calcium, and a greater calcium uptake so that there was a significant increment in exchangeable calcium. Although these experiments do not identify the cellular processes responsible for the positive inotropic response to paired stimulation, they suggest that an alteration of myocardial calcium metabolism is involved. Furthermore, it is apparent that this alteration is distinct from that occurring during a comparable increase in the rate of delivery of single stimuli to the heart.
