Abstract
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a potentially lethal mucocutaneous blistering disease characterized by IgG autoantibodies (AuAbs) binding to epidermal keratinocytes and inducing this devastating disease. Here, we observed that non-desmoglein (Dsg) AuAbs in the sera of patients with Dsg1/3 AuAb-negative acute PV are pathogenic, because IgGs from these individuals induced skin blistering in neonatal mice caused by suprabasal acantholysis. Serum levels of AuAbs to desmocollin 3 (Dsc3), M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3AR), and secretory pathway Ca2+/Mn2+-ATPase isoform 1 (SPCA1) correlated with the disease stage of PV. Moreover, AuAb absorption on recombinant Dsc3, M3AR, or SPCA1 both prevented skin blistering in the passive transfer of AuAbs model of PV in BALB/c mice and significantly decreased the extent of acantholysis in a neonatal mouse skin explant model. Although acantholytic activities of each of these immunoaffinity-purified AuAbs could not induce a PV-like phenotype, their mixture produced a synergistic effect manifested by a positive Nikolskiy sign in the skin of neonatal mice. The downstream signaling of all pathogenic non-Dsg AuAbs involved p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated phosphorylation and elevation of cytochrome c release and caspase 9 activity. Anti-Dsc3 and anti-SPCA1 AuAbs also activated SRC proto-oncogene, nonreceptor tyrosine kinase (SRC). Of note, although a constellation of non-Dsg AuAbs apparently disrupted epidermal integrity, elimination of a single pathogenic AuAb could prevent keratinocyte detachment and blistering. Therefore, anti-Dsg1/3 AuAb-free PV can be a model for elucidating the roles of non-Dsg antigen-specific AuAbs in the physiological regulation of keratinocyte cell-cell adhesion and blister development.

Abstract
Plasma membrane-resident receptor kinases (RKs) initiate signaling pathways important for plant immunity and development. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the receptor for the elicitor-active peptide epitope of bacterial flagellin, flg22, is encoded by FLAGELLIN SENSING2 (FLS2), which promotes plant immunity. Despite its relevance, the molecular components regulating FLS2-mediated signaling remain largely unknown. We show that plasma membrane ARABIDOPSIS-AUTOINHIBITED Ca(2+)-ATPase (ACA8) forms a complex with FLS2 in planta. ACA8 and its closest homolog ACA10 are required for limiting the growth of virulent bacteria. One of the earliest flg22 responses is the transient increase of cytosolic Ca(2+) ions, which is crucial for many of the well-described downstream responses (e.g. generation of reactive oxygen species and the transcriptional activation of defense-associated genes). Mutant aca8 aca10 plants show decreased flg22-induced Ca(2+) and reactive oxygen species bursts and exhibit altered transcriptional reprogramming. In particular, mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent flg22-induced gene expression is elevated, whereas calcium-dependent protein kinase-dependent flg22-induced gene expression is reduced. These results demonstrate that the fine regulation of Ca(2+) fluxes across the plasma membrane is critical for the coordination of the downstream microbe-associated molecular pattern responses and suggest a mechanistic link between the FLS2 receptor complex and signaling kinases via the secondary messenger Ca(2+). ACA8 also interacts with other RKs such as BRI1 and CLV1 known to regulate plant development, and both aca8 and aca10 mutants show morphological phenotypes, suggesting additional roles for ACA8 and ACA10 in developmental processes. Thus, Ca(2+) ATPases appear to represent general regulatory components of RK-mediated signaling pathways.

Abstract
Lysophospholipids (LPLs) such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) are chemotactic for lymphocytes, and increases of in cytosolic [Ca(2+)] signal the regulation of lymphocyte activation and migration. Here, the authors investigated the effects of LPA and S1P on [Ca(2+)](c) in mouse B cell lines (WEHI-231 and Bal-17) and primary B cells isolated from mouse spleen and bone marrow, and focused on the modulation of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) by LPLs. In Bal-17 (a mature B cell line) both LPA and S1P induced a transient [Ca(2+)](c) increase via a phospholipase C pathway. In addition, pretreatment with LPLs was found to augment thapsigargin-induced SOCE in Bal-17 cells. However, in WEHI-231 (an immature B cell line) LPLs had no significant effect on [Ca(2+)](c) or SOCE. Furthermore, in freshly isolated splenic B cells (SBCs) and bone marrow B cells (BMBCs), LPLs induced only a small increase in [Ca(2+)](c). Interestingly, however, pretreatment with LPLs markedly increased SOCE in primary B cells, and this augmentation was more prominent in BMBCs than SBCs. The unidirectional influx of Ca(2+) was measured using Ba(2+) as a surrogate ion. Similarly, Ba(2+) influx was also found to be markedly increased by LPLs in SBCs and BMBCs. Summarizing, LPLs were found to strongly augment SOCE-mediated Ca(2+)-signaling in mouse B cells. However, unlike the mature Bal-17 cell line, PLC-dependent Ca(2+) release was insignificant in primary B cells and inWEHI-231.

Abstract
Human African trypanosomiasis is a neglected disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. A parasite cation pump (Ca(2+) ATPase; TBCA2) essential for survival and cation homeostasis was identified and characterized. It was hypothesized that targeting this pump using a Vibrio cholerae ghost (VCG)-based vaccine could protect against murine T. brucei infection. mRNA and protein expression of TBCA2 was differentially expressed in blood and insect stages of parasites and immunolocalized in the pericellular membrane and the flagellar pocket of bloodstream forms. Antigen-specific antibodies and Th1 cytokines, interleukin-2, interferon-gamma, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were induced in rVCG-TBCA2-immunized mice and in vitro on antigen stimulation of splenic immune T cells, but the corresponding Th2-type response was unremarkable. Despite an increased median survival of 6 days in vaccinated mice, the mice were not protected against infection. Thus, immunization of mice produced robust parasite-specific antibodies but failed to protect mice against parasite challenge.

Abstract
Plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity diminishes by about 50% in red blood cells during preeclampsia. We investigated whether the number of Ca2+-ATPase molecules is modified in red cell membranes from preeclamptic pregnant women by measuring the specific phosphorylated intermediate of this enzyme. Also, we isolated the Ca2+-ATPase protein from both normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant women and estimated its molecular weight, and its cross-reactions with specific polyclonal and monoclonal (5F10) antibodies against it. We measured the Ca2+-ATPase activity in a purified state and the effect of known modulators of this ATPase. It was found that the phosphorylated intermediate associated with PMCA is similar for red cell ghosts from normotensive and preeclamptic women, suggesting a similar number of ATPase molecules in these membranes. The molecular weight of the Ca2+-ATPase is around 140 kDa for both normotensive and preeclamptic membranes, and its cross-reactions with specific antibodies is similar, suggesting that the protein structure remains intact in preeclampsia. Calmodulin, ethanol, or both calmodulin plus ethanol, stimulated the Ca2+-ATPase activity to the same extent for both normotensive and preeclamptic preparations. Our results showed that the reduced Ca2+-ATPase activity of the red cell membranes from preeclamptic women is not associated with a defective enzyme, but rather with a high level of lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody PL/IM430 has previously been reported to uncouple Ca(2+) transport from ATP hydrolysis in platelet membranes (Hack, N., Wilkinson, J. M., and Crawford, N. (1988) Biochem. J. 250, 355-361). More recently, we have demonstrated that this antibody is specific for human SERCA3 (Poch, E., Leach, S., Snape, S., Cacic, T., MacLennan, D. H., and Lytton, J. (1998) Am. J. Physiol. 275, C1449-C1458). In this paper, we have extended the analysis of the PL/IM430-SERCA3 interaction. Using HEK293 cells to express human SERCA3a, we were able to measure both ATP-mediated, oxalate-dependent (45)Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+)-dependent ATP hydrolysis activities due exclusively to SERCA3. Treatment with PL/IM430 inhibited both activities almost identically, with a maximal inhibition of 81 and 73% and a half-maximal concentration of 8.3 and 5.9 microg/ml, for Ca(2+) uptake and ATP hydrolysis, respectively. We conclude that PL/IM430 does inhibit SERCA3 activity but does not uncouple Ca(2+) transport from ATP hydrolysis. Using a combination of partial proteolysis, GST fusion protein expression, and mutation of residues that differ between rat and human SERCA3, we have identified human SERCA3 amino acids Pro(8) and Glu(192) as essential to forming the PL/IM430 epitope. PL/IM430 thus recognizes a linearly noncontiguous set of amino acids within the actuator domain of human SERCA3. We propose that PL/IM430 inhibits SERCA3 activity by sterically preventing movement of the actuator domain into a catalytically critical position in the E2 conformation of the enzyme.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that cardiac myocytes isolated from the hearts of adult dogs develop rapid repetitive cytosolic Ca2+ transients, membrane depolarization, and cell contraction by mobilization of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores when exposed to a soluble factor from the trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi. These findings led us to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of cytosolic Ca2+ in cardiac tissues from dogs chronically infected with T. cruzi. Expression of the plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA) RNA and protein was determined by Northern and Western blotting, respectively, followed by densitometric analyses. A 642-bp PMCA 1b complementary DNA probe derived from canine epicardial tissue hybridized to 2 major transcripts (7.3 and 5.3 kb) in canine epicardium. Expression of the dominant transcript (7.3 kb) was 77% greater in cardiac tissues obtained from dogs with chronic T. cruzi infection (140 days after inoculation) in comparison with constitutive expression levels in normal dogs. Monoclonal antibody 5F10, known to recognize all isoforms of the PMCA, was used to detect expression of the PMCA protein in epicardial tissue. Expression of a 142-kDa protein was increased by 58% in the cardiac tissues of infected dogs when compared with those from uninfected dogs. To establish a link between the upregulation of PMCA in dogs chronically infected with Chagas disease and the ventricular-based arrhythmias and myocardial failure that occur during this stage of disease both in dogs and humans, further study will be required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of the current study were to: (i) present an integrated model for the restoration of calcium homeostasis in activated human neutrophils based on current knowledge and recent research; and (ii) identify potential targets for the modulation of calcium fluxes in activated neutrophils based on this model and to investigate the effects of intracellular probes which target key processes involved in calcium homeostasis and pro-inflammatory activity in these cells. DESIGN AND SETTING Laboratory-based experimental research using purified human neutrophils from healthy, adult human volunteers. OUTCOME MEASURES Calcium metabolism and pro-inflammatory activity of neutrophils. RESULTS Modulation of calcium fluxes in activated human neutrophils can be achieved by cAMP-dependent upregulation of the activity of the endomembrane Ca(2+)-ATPase which resequesters cytosolic Ca2+. Formoterol, a long-acting beta 2-agonist, elevates intracellular cAMP levels, accelerates Ca2+ restoration in activated neutrophils and downregulates the pro-inflammatory responses of these cells. Alterations in the membrane potential of activated neutrophils may play a role in regulating calcium reuptake into the cells as attenuation of the membrane depolarisation response is associated with accelerated calcium influx. CONCLUSIONS Modulation of the activity of the endomembrane Ca(2+)-ATPase in human neutrophils represents an important target for anti-inflammatory

Abstract
Alterations in expression levels of phospholamban (PLB) relative to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca-ATPase have been suggested to underlie defects of calcium regulation in the failing heart and other cardiac pathologies. To understand how variation in PLB expression relative to that of the Ca-ATPase can modulate calcium transport, we have investigated the inhibition of the Ca-ATPase by PLB in native SR membranes from slow-twitch skeletal and cardiac muscle and in reconstituted proteoliposomes. Quantitative immunoblotting in combination with affinity-purified protein standards was used to measure protein concentrations of PLB and of the Ca-ATPase. Functional inhibition of the Ca-ATPase was determined from both the calcium concentrations for half-maximal activation (Ca(1/2)) and the shift in the calcium concentrations following release of PLB inhibition (i.e., (Delta)Ca(1/2)) by incubation with monoclonal antibodies against PLB, which are equivalent to phosphorylation of PLB by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. We report that equivalent levels of PLB inhibition and antibody-induced activation ((Delta)Ca(1/2) = 0.25 +/- 0.02 microM) are observed in SR membranes from slow-twitch skeletal and cardiac muscle, where molar stoichiometries of PLB expressed per Ca-ATPase vary, respectively, from 0.9 +/- 0.1 to 4.1 +/- 0.8. Similar levels of inhibition to those observed in isolated SR vesicles were observed using reconstituted proteoliposomes following co-reconstitution of affinity-purified Ca-ATPase with PLB. These results indicate that total expression levels of one PLB per Ca-ATPase result in full inhibition of the Ca-ATPase and, based on the measured K(D) (140 +/- 30 microM), suggests one PLB complexed with two Ca-ATPase molecules is sufficient for full inhibition of activity. Therefore, the excess PLB expressed in the heart over that required for inhibition suggests a capability for graded responses of the Ca-ATPase activity to endogenous kinases and phosphatases that modulate the level of phosphorylation necessary to relieve inhibition of the Ca-ATPase by PLB.

Abstract
The ability to deliver calcium to the osteoid is critical to osteoblast function as a regulator of bone calcification. There are two known transmembrane proteins capable of translocating calcium out of the osteoblast, the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) and the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA). In this study, we reveal the presence of the NCX3 isoform in primary osteoblasts and examine the expression of NCX1, NCX3, and PMCA1 during osteoblast differentiation. The predominant NCX isoform expressed by osteoblasts is NCX3. NCX1 also is expressed, but at low levels. Both NCX isoforms are expressed at nearly static levels throughout differentiation. In contrast, PMCA expression peaks at 8 days of culture, early in osteoblast differentiation, but declines thereafter. Immunocytochemical co-detection of NCX and PMCA reveal that NCX is positioned along surfaces of the osteoblast adjacent to osteoid, while PMCA is localized to plasma membrane sites distal to the osteoid. The expression pattern and spatial distribution of NCX support a role as a regulator of calcium efflux from osteoblasts required for calcification. The expression pattern and spatial distribution of PMCA makes its role in the mineralization process unlikely and suggests a role in calcium homeostasis following signaling events.

Abstract
The organization of Na(+) and Ca(2+) transport pathways along the mouse distal nephron is incompletely known. We revealed by immunohistochemistry a set of Ca(2+) and Na(+) transport proteins along the mouse distal convolution. The thiazide-sensitive Na(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC) characterized the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). The amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) colocalized with NCC in late DCT (DCT2) and extended to the downstream connecting tubule (CNT) and collecting duct (CD). In early DCT (DCT1), the basolateral Ca(2+)-extruding proteins [Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX), plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PCMA)] and the cytoplasmic Ca(2+)-binding protein calbindin D(28K) (CB) were found at very low levels, whereas the cytoplasmic Ca(2+)/Mg(2+)-binding protein parvalbumin was highly abundant. NCX, PMCA, and CB prevailed in DCT2 and CNT, where we located the apical epithelial Ca(2+) channel (ECaC1). Its subcellular localization changed from apical in DCT2 to exclusively cytoplasmic at the end of CNT. NCX and PMCA decreased in parallel with the fading of ECaC1 in the apical membrane. All three of them were undetectable in CD. These findings disclose DCT2 and CNT as major sites for transcellular Ca(2+) transport in the mouse distal nephron. Cellular colocalization of Ca(2+) and Na(+) transport pathways suggests their mutual interactions in transport regulation.

Abstract
Abnormalities of the sarcotubular system presenting as tubular aggregates (TAs) have been described in a variety of neuromuscular disorders. Here, we report on immunohistochemical and biochemical findings in 7 patients (2 familial and 5 sporadic cases) suffering from myopathies with TAs. In muscle biopsy specimens from 5 of the 7 patients, TAs were immunopositive for the ryanodine receptor (RYR 1) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the SR Ca2+ pump (SERCA2-ATPase), and the intraluminal SR Ca2+ binding protein calsequestrin, indicating an SR origin of these aggregates. Furthermore, these 5 cases showed decreased respiratory chain enzyme activities (NADH:CoQ oxidoreductase. complex I and cytochrome c oxidase [COX], complex IV), while the remaining 2 patients exhibited normal values. Our findings indicate a functional link between mitochondrial dysfunction and the presence of TAs originating from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
The presence and distribution of sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) isoform 2b in microsomes and other subcellular fractions isolated from pig brain has been demonstrated by the combined use of a specific antibody raised against the SERCA2b isoform and ATP phosphorylation experiments. All subcellular fractions show an approximately 110 kDa phosphorylated protein, the band intensity being stronger in microsomes. Preliminary treatment of the samples with trypsin generates two phosphorylated fragments of about 57 and 33 kDa in the presence of Ca(2+). The observed fragments are typical trypsinized products of the SERCA2b isoform. The monoclonal antibody Y/1F4 raised against the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (isoform 1) binds to the 110 kDa band in membranes isolated from brain. The binding was stronger in microsomes than in other fractions. Furthermore, this antibody also recognizes a clear band at around 115 kDa. This band is always stronger in plasma membrane than in synaptosomes or microsomes and is unaffected by trypsin. Phosphorylation studies in the absence of Ca(2+) suggest that the 115 kDa protein is not a Ca(2+)-ATPase.

Abstract
Our understanding of calcium homeostasis during the crustacean moulting cycle derives from research on intermoult animals that has been extrapolated to other stages. In terms of transepithelial Ca(2+) flux, the more interesting stages are those surrounding ecdysis since crustaceans experience a sizeable negative calcium balance in immediate premoult and a significant positive calcium balance in immediate postmoult. These stages are elusive in the sense that larger species such as lobsters are rarely captured at this time, and smaller species such as blue crabs and crayfish are seldom synchronized in their moulting cycle. The reductionist approaches employed in cellular physiology, such as vesicle techniques, employ pooling of fresh tissues from many organisms. Examination of the elusive moulting stages requires more sensitive approaches that can utilize tissue from an individual crustacean to characterize Ca(2+) pumps (Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, SERCA; Plasma Membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase, PMCA) and the Na(+)/Ca(2+) eXchanger (NCX). An emerging subcellular approach described in this paper is to use flow cytometry as a technique to monitor Ca(2+) uptake into Fluo-3-loaded membrane vesicles. This paper illustrates the utility of this technique for measuring ATP-dependent Ca(2+) uptake into hepatopancreatic basolateral membrane vesicles. Obstacles to progress in molecular studies have not been limited by synchronization of moulting since tissue can be snap-frozen and collected from many animals over time. Here, the problem has been the lack of specific antibodies that hybridize with the Ca(2+) transporters of interest so that they can be localized within epithelia. In this paper, we introduce polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits against crayfish SERCA, PMCA and NCX. Immunocytochemistry of SERCA in muscle, PMCA in antennal gland and NCX in heart confirms the specificity of the antibodies.

Abstract
We used scanning electron microscopy, the vital dye DASPEI and an antibody to the inner mitochondrial membrane to study the presence and localisation of mitochondria-rich cells in the gills and skin (opercular, dorsal and ventral) of the lungfish Protopterus annectens in its free-swimming conditions and at the beginning of aestivation. In the free-swimming period, the gills were short and thick and the pavement cells were extremely large (30-40 microns). The mitochondria-rich cells, which were distributed in the secondary and primary epithelium, occurred as two morphologically different types, i.e. elongated and oval, similar to the alpha and beta chloride cells of fresh water teleosts. In the skin, only one type of mitochondria-rich cells was found, resembling the alpha chloride cells. All the mitochondria-rich cells distributed in the gills and skin were labelled with anti Ca(2+)-ATPase serum indicating the possible uptake of Ca2+ at freshwater chloride cell level. At the start of aestivation, the skin and gills were covered by a thick layer of mucus and the epithelium of the gills was reduced. The mitochondria-rich cells were almost completely covered by the pavement cells.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates that B-type Ca2+ channels observed in rat ventricular myocytes markedly reacted to agents known to affect the ion-motive plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) pump. Chlorpromazine (CPZ)-activated B-type Ca2+ channels were completely blocked by internal application of PMCA pump inhibitors, namely La3+ (100 microm), eosin (10 microm) and AIF(3) (100 microm). Calmodulin (50 U/ml), the main endogenous positive regulator of PMCA, was unable to activate but significantly reduced CPZ-activated B-type channel activity. In the same manner, ATP (1 and 4 mm), the main energizing substrate of PMCA, was able to reversibly and significantly reduce this activity in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, anti-PMCA antibody 5F10, but not anti-Na/K ATPase antibody (used as a negative control) induced a marked Ba2+-conducting channel activity that shared the same characteristics with that of CPZ-activated B-type channels. 5F10-Activated channels were mostly selective towards Ba2+ , mainly had three observed conductance levels (23, 47 and 85 pS), were observed with a frequency of about 1 out of 5 membrane patches and were completely blocked by 10 microm eosin. These results suggest that B-type Ca2+ channels are some form of the PMCA pump.

Abstract
Tubular aggregates (TAs) which have been recently observed in a few mouse myopathies are identical to those described in human diseases. In this study we show that TAs are also found in the skeletal muscle of almost all normal inbred mice strains. In these inbred strains of mice the presence of TAs is shown to be related to both age and sex. Nine different muscles were stained with the modified Gomori trichrome method to reveal the general morphology of the muscles. Anti-SERCA1 ATPase was used to confirm that the TAs were in fact accumulations of sarcoplasmic reticulum and anti-MyHC IIB to demonstrate that these accumulations were found exclusively in the type IIB muscle fibers. An ultrastructural study confirmed the observations revealed by light microscopy that the TAs were derived from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. TAs were never observed in female inbred mice and were only found in type IIB glycolytic muscle fibers of male inbred mice. Therefore when analyzing the effect of genetic knock out and knock in experiments on the muscle phenotype of transgenic mice one should be aware that the presence of these aggregates is a non-specific phenomenon induced by inbreeding.

Abstract
Modulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) transport by endogenous calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM K II) involves covalent changes of regulatory protein phospholamban (PLB), as a common, but not the only mechanism, in limb slow-twitch muscles of certain mammalian species, such as the rabbit. Here, using immunofluorescent techniques in situ, and biochemical and immunological methods on the isolated SR, we have demonstrated that rabbit masseter, a muscle with a distinct embryological origin, lacks PLB. Accommodating embryological heterogeneity in the paradigm of neural-dependent expression of specific isogenes in skeletal muscle fibers, our results provide novel evidence for the differential expression in the SR of 72 kDa beta components of CaM K II, together with the expression of a slow-twitch sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform, both in limb muscle and in the masseter.

Abstract
Pig deendothelialized coronary artery rings and smooth muscle cells cultured from them accumulated ascorbate from medium containing Na(+). The accumulated material was determined to be ascorbate using high-performance liquid chromatography. We further characterized ascorbate uptake in the cultured cells. The data fitted best with a Hill coefficient of 1 for ascorbate (K(asc) = 22 +/- 2 microM) and 2 for Na(+) (K(Na) = 84 +/- 10 mM). The anion transport inhibitors sulfinpyrazone and 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DIDS) inhibited the uptake. Transferring cultured cells loaded with (14)C-ascorbate into an ascorbate-free solution resulted in a biphasic loss of radioactivity - an initial sulfinpyrazone-insensitive faster phase and a late sulfinpyrazone-sensitive slower phase. Transferring loaded cells into a Na(+)-free medium increased the loss in the initial phase in a sulfinpyrazone-sensitive manner, suggesting that the ascorbate transporter is bidirectional. Including peroxide or superoxide in the solution increased the loss of radioactivity. Thus, ascorbate accumulated in coronary artery smooth muscle cells by a Na(+)-dependent transporter was lost in an ascorbate-free solution, and the loss was increased by removing Na(+) from the medium or by oxidative stress.

Abstract
When stimulated by glucose, the pancreatic beta-cell displays large oscillations of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). To control [Ca2+]i, the beta-cell must be equipped with potent mechanisms for Ca2+ extrusion. We studied the expression of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases (PMCA) in three insulin secreting preparations (a pure beta-cell preparation, RINm5F cells and pancreatic islet cells), using reverse-transcribed PCR, RNase protection assay and Western blotting. The four main isoforms, PMCA1, PMCA2, PMCA3 and PMCA4 were expressed in the three preparations. Six alternative splice mRNA variants, characterized at splice sites A, B and C were detected in the three preparations (rPMCA1xb, 2yb, 2wb, 3za, 3zc, 4xb), plus two additional variants in pancreatic islet cells (PMCA4za, 1xkb). The latter variant corresponded to a novel variant of rat PMCA1 gene lacking the exon coding for the 10th transmembrane segment, at splice site B. At the mRNA and protein level, five variants predominated (1xb, 2wb, 3za, 3zc, 4xb), whilst one additional isoform (4za), predominated at the protein level only. This provides the first evidence for the presence of PMCA2 and PMCA3 isoforms at the protein level in non-neuronal tissue. Hence, the pancreatic beta-cell is equipped with multiple PMCA isoforms with possible differential regulation, providing a full range of PMCAs for [Ca2+]i regulation.

Abstract
The purified plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump (PMCA) was digested with trypsin, and the proteolytic products were identified by immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies JA9 or 5F10 directed against the extreme N-terminal segment and the central portion of the molecule, respectively. After a short treatment with low concentrations of the protease, JA9 reacted predominantly with a peptide of 35 kDa whereas 5F10 detected a peptide of 90 kDa. The trypsin cut leading to the production of these fragments had no effect on the maximal activity of the enzyme. At higher concentrations of trypsin, JA9 detected a main fragment of 33 kDa and smaller fragments of 19 and 15 kDa. The persistence of fragments reacting with JA9 indicates that the N-terminal region containing its epitope (residues 51-75) was not easily accessible to the protease in the native PMCA. However, the reactivity with JA9 was rapidly lost during proteolysis of the denatured protein. The passage of the mixture of PMCA fragments through a calmodulin-Sepharose column resulted in the retention of the N-terminal 35 kDa fragment together with that of 90 kDa, despite the fact that only the latter binds calmodulin. The ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) eluate, which contained about equal amounts of both fragments, had a Ca(2+) ATPase activity similar to that of the intact enzyme. The tight association between the two peptides was evidenced by the fact that concentrations of polyoxyethylene 10 lauryl ether (C(12)E(10)), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) high enough for inactivating the enzyme and dissociate the pump from calmodulin were unable of breaking the interaction between the 35 and 90 kDa fragments. Altogether, these results show that after digestion with trypsin, the N-terminal portion of the PMCA, including the extreme N-terminal segment, remains part of a fully functional catalytic complex.

Abstract
The relationship between SR Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) activities, cell calcium level, SR calcium store and cell cycle events is not clearly understood. We studied SERCA overexpression in Cos cells using an adenovirus vector. Twofold increases in SERCA mRNA and in protein were correlated with a 2.3-fold and a 1.6-fold paralleled increase in SR calcium pump activity (R = 0.97 and R = 0.99 respectively). Dose-related apoptotic cell death was associated with SERCA overexpression (R = 0.92). When serum was reduced to 4%, cell apoptosis further increased from 20.7 +/- 4.8% to 47.5 +/- 12.9% (M+/-SD; P<0.05; n=3). Flow cytometry identified cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. The interleukin-1 converting enzyme (ICE) inhibitor z-VAD-fmk reduced apoptosis for low-, medium- and high-expressing constructs, whereas the CPP-32 inhibitor z-DEVD-fmk had no effect. Flow cytometry using Fluo-3 and Fura-Red revealed a 1.5-fold higher basal calcium and a 10-fold SR calcium overload. ICE inhibitor z-VAD-fmk did not alter calcium loading. An epitope-tagged SERCA mutant, which has no intrinsic Ca2+-pump activities, had a much smaller effect on the SR calcium. These findings suggest that SERCA2A overexpression has an intrinsic role in altering cell-cycle progression, augmenting cellular and SR calcium loading, and precipitating ICE protease-mediated apoptosis; this represents as a novel model for primary SR calcium overload and associated cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Overlapping fragments of the fourth isoform of human plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (hPMCA4) and several fragments of hPMCA1 were expressed in bacterial cells and purified by metal affinity chromatography. Enzyme immunoassays of the fragments helped map epitopes for 4 monoclonal antibodies (2D8, 8B8, 7C8 and 5E6). The epitope for 2D8 was localized within the 222-249 site (i.e., in the putative transduction domain), the epitopes for 8B8 and 7C8 were localized within the 330-353 site, in which phospholipids are presumably bound, and the 5E6 epitope was found within the 791-843 site, where the putative hinge region is situated. 2D8 recognizes hPMCA1 and hPMCA4 isoforms, while 8B8 and 7C8 are specific for hPMCA4. The amino acid sequences of these epitopes and phage-displayed mimotopes were compared.

Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis elementary bodies (EBs) enter epithelial cells within membrane-bound endosomes that aggregate with each other in a calcium-regulated process, but avoid fusion with lysosomes. Annexin III but not I translocates to chlamydial aggregates and inclusions. In this study, we localize the intracellular Ca2+ stores during the course of infection by analyzing the distribution of three intracellular Ca2+ store proteins: calreticulin, type-1 inositol-1,4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3-R), and Sarcoplasmic/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ ATPase type 2 (SERCA2) in HeLa cells infected with C. trachomatis serovar L2. In uninfected cells, immunofluorescence staining of the proteins showed a fine granular distributed pattern for all three proteins. After infection with C. trachomatis, calreticulin was found at the periphery of chlamydial aggregates and inclusions from 3 to 48 hours post-infection. In infected cells, SERCA2 was intimately associated with chlamydial inclusions after 3 and 24 hours, but not after 48 hours. Moreover, IP3-R was translocated to and colocalized with EB aggregates and chlamydial inclusions and had a distribution very similar to that of SERCA 2. After 24 hours incubation with chlamydiae, there was a local accumulation of [Ca2+]i (105+/-17 nM) in the proximity of chlamydial inclusions, compared to 50+/-13 nM in other parts of the cell cytoplasm. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, this local accumulation of Ca2+ increased to 295+/-50 nM after adding 50 microM ATP, and to a similar extent after adding 100 nM thapsigargin (Tg). These data indicate that during infection of HeLa cells with chlamydiae, intracellular Ca2+ stores are redistributed, causing local accumulation of Ca2+ in the vicinity of chlamydial inclusions. These changes may trigger the association of certain proteins such as annexins with chlamydia-containing vesicles, and thereby regulation of membrane-membrane interaction during endosome aggregation and inclusion formation.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA), the enzyme responsible for the maintenance of intracellular calcium homeostasis, is regulated by several independent mechanisms. In this paper we report that the protein kinases A and C differentially activate the Ca2+-ATPase purified from synaptosomal membranes of rat cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus. The effect of protein kinases was more pronounced for the cortical enzyme, whereas cerebellar and hippocampal Ca2+-ATPases were activated to a lesser degree. The preparation of Ca2+-ATPase contained the phosphoamino acids, i.e., P-Ser and P-Thr, indicating that the enzyme was purified in phosphorylated state. The phosphorylation of Ca2+-ATPase by PKA and PKC increased the amount of phosphoamino acids, but in a region-dependent manner. Using the specific antibodies against N-terminal portion of four main PMCA isoforms we have characterized the isoforms composition of Ca2+-ATPase purified from the nervous endings of examined brain areas. Our results indicate that the activity of calcium pump is related to its phosphorylated state, and that the phosphorylation is region-dependent. Moreover, the differences observed could be related to the composition of PMCA isoforms in the different brain areas. Phosphorylation of the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase appears to be a mechanism to control its activity. The results support also the possible involvement of PKA and PKC.

Abstract
Considering increasing interest in calcium stores in protozoa, including parasitic forms, and specifically in subplasmalemmal stores in higher eukaryotes, we have isolated subplasmalemmal calcium stores (alveolar sacs) from the ciliated protozoan, Paramecium tetraurelia. Using antibodies against established sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCAs) we detected in Western blots of subcellular fractions a band of approximately 106 kDa size selectively in alveolar sacs--but not, for example, in plasma membranes--and concomitant restriction of immunofluorecence labelling to the cell cortex of permeabilised cells. These results are the same as with ABs against a peptide derived from a cloned SERCA-like gene from Paramecium [Hauser K., Pavlovic N., Kissmehl R., Plattner H. Molecular characterization of a sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase gene from Paramecium tetraurelia and localisation of its gene product to subplasmalemmal calcium stores. Biochem J 1998; 334: 31-38]. When such isolated alveolar sacs were now tested for phosphoenzyme intermediate (EP) formation, a phosphoprotein of the same apparent molecular mass (approximately 106 kDa) as in blots could be identified in gel autoradiograms. This EP corresponds to that formed in the reaction cycle of different SERCA-types, with dependency on Ca2+ and Mg2+, sensitivity to La3+ or insensitivity towards calmodulin, calmodulin antagonists and vanadate. However, EP formation in alveolar sacs is not inhibited by established SERCA inhibitors (e.g. thapsigargi[ci]n tested up to 100 microM). Surprisingly, caffeine, which is frequently used to mobilise Ca2+ from intracellular stores, strongly inhibits EP formation. In parallel experiments, we did not find any similar effect with sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from skeletal muscle. We conclude that the approximately 106 kDa protein of alveolar sacs in Paramecium may represent a SERCA-like Ca(2+)-ATPase with some unorthodox features, which might be relevant also for some other protozoan systems. In this case, the established Ca(2+)-mobilizing effect of caffeine may be amplified by inhibiting store refilling.

Abstract
Antibodies 5F10 and JA3 (raised against the erythrocyte Ca2+ pump) were used to identify hPMCA4b as the major form of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump in human platelets and in three human megakaryoblastoid cell lines, MEG 01, DAMI and CHRF 288-11. 5F10 was used because it has been shown to recognize all known isoforms of the hPMCA and JA3 because it reacts exclusively with hPMCA4b [Caride A.J., Filoteo A.G., Enyedi A., Verma A.K., Penniston J.T. Detection of isoform 4 of the plasma membrane calcium pump in human tissues by using isoform-specific monoclonal antibodies. Biochem J 1996; 316: 353-359]. In addition to hPMCA4b, hPMCA1b was also detected in the megakaryoblastoid cells by using isoform-specific polyclonal antibodies. The apparent size of this isoform, however, was smaller than that seen in HeLa and COS-7 cell membranes indicating the presence of a modified form of hPMCA1b. In platelets, no evidence of the expression of hPMCA1b could be found. The amount of PMCA in these cells was compared with that of the constitutive form of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump in non-muscle cells (SERCA2b) and also with the amount of PMCA in human erythrocytes. A very low level of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump was found in platelets while in their precursor cells the expression of this Ca2+ pump was much more abundant. Whereas the expression level of PMCA decreased dramatically in mature human platelets, the expression of SERCA2b did not change substantially upon megakaryocytic differentiation.

Abstract
Evidence for a Ca2+-pump at the nuclear envelope (NE) in plant cells has been obtained using confocal and electron microscope immunocytochemistry and antibodies raised to a plant homologue of the mammalian SERCA pump. This is the first evidence suggesting an NE Ca2+-pump in plants. In addition to being localised with the NE in interphase, the antigen was localised to membrane derived from the NE and associated ER during mitosis, correlating with known Ca2+-pools. The work suggests that a SERCA pump is present at the NE of plant as well as animal cells.

Abstract
Human platelets express several sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) isoenzymes: SERCA2b of 100 kDa apparent molecular mass and two distinct enzymes of 97 kDa, one of them identified as being the SERCA3a isoform. The molecular identity of the third enzyme specifically recognized by the PL/IM430 monoclonal antibody has remained elusive. First, the study of the 3'-end part of platelet SERCA3 mRNA, by means of RT-PCR amplification using sets of primers covering the N-3 to N (ultimate) exons of the human SERCA3 sequence, revealed the presence of two distinct mRNA sequences, SERCA3a and a longer variant. Second, this additional sequence was identified as SERCA3b and found to refer to the insertion of a new exon of 73 bp, located at bp 349 from the beginning of the intronic sequence, linking the penultimate (N-1) exon to the last exon (N) of the human SERCA3 gene. Third, a relationship between the expression of this SERCA3b mRNA and the PL/ IM430 recognizable SERCA protein was observed. SERCA3b mRNA was found to be absent in epithelial HeLa cells not recognized by the PL/IM430 antibody and the expression of this SERCA3b RNA species correlated with that of the SERCA protein recognized by PL/IM430 which was down-modulated in the platelet precursor megakaryocytic CHRF 288-11 cell line as well as upon in vitro lymphocyte activation. Taken together, these results strongly support the notion of the presence of the SERCA3b protein in human cells by showing SERCA3b mRNA in platelets and the fact that the protein corresponding to this mRNA species is very likely the 97 kDa protein recognized by the PL/IM430 antibody.

Abstract
The topology of Ca2+-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles was investigated with the aid of sequence-specific antibodies, produced against oligopeptides corresponding to sequences close to the membranous portions of the protein. The antisera in competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays only reacted with intact SR vesicles to a limited extent, but most epitopic regions were exposed by low concentrations of nondenaturing detergent, octaethylene glycol dodecyl ether (C12E8) or after removal of cytosolic regions by proteinase K. In particular, these treatments exposed the loop regions in the C-terminal domain, including L7-8, the loop region located between transmembrane segments M7 and M8, with a putative intravesicular position, which had immunochemical properties very similar to those of the C terminus with a documented cytosolic exposure. In contrast to this, the reactivity of the N-terminal intravesicular loop regions L1-2 and L3-4 was only increased by C12E8 treatment but not by proteinase K proteolysis. Complexation of Ca2+-ATPase with beta,gamma-CrATP stabilized the C-terminal domain of Ca2+-ATPase against proteinase K proteolysis and reaction with most of the antisera, but immunoreactivity was maintained by the L6-7 and L7-8 loops. Immunoelectron microscopic analyses of vesicles following negative staining, thin sectioning, and the SDS-digested freeze-fracture labeling method suggested that the L7-8 epitope, in contrast to L6-7 and the C terminus, can be exposed on either the intravesicular or cytosolic side of the membrane. A preponderant intravesicular location of L7-8 in intact vesicles is suggested by the susceptibility of this region to proteolytic cleavage after disruption of the vesicular barrier with C12E8 and in symmetrically reconstituted Ca2+-ATPase proteoliposomes. In conclusion, our data suggest an adaptable membrane insertion of the C-terminal Ca2+-ATPase domain, which under some conditions permits sliding of M8 through the membrane with cytosolic exposure of L7-8, of possible functional significance in connection with Ca2+ translocation. On the technical side, our data emphasize that extreme caution is needed when using nondenaturing detergents or other treatments like EGTA at alkaline pH to open up vesicles for probing of intravesicular location with antibodies.

Abstract
Libraries of random phage-displayed pentadeca- and hexapeptides were screened with the use of four monoclonal antibodies against the human plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase. Bacteriophages specifically binding the antibodies were selected, and the amino acid sequences of the expressed peptides (mimotopes) were determined. Mimotopes for three antibodies (8B8, 2D8, F9) did not correspond to the Ca2(+)-ATPase sequence. Pentadecapeptides for the 7C8 antibodies displayed similarity to the fragment Glu1097-Arg1113 of the Ca2(+)-ATPase calmodulin-binding site. However, these antibodies failed to bind recombinant fragment Leu1069-Leu1220; therefore, the structure of this epitope remains obscure. This work opens a series of studies of the plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase structure by means of monoclonal antibodies and the phage display method.

Abstract
The concept of autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy is gaining impetus. Since systolic functional impairment and subsequent recovery are frequently observed in myocarditis, we reasoned that the development of autoimmunity to cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SR-Ca2+ ATPase), which could interfere with intracellular calcium regulation and therefore affect myocardial contractility, should lead to immune-mediated myocarditis in experimental animals. Murine monoclonal antibody 4C11-20.21 (IgM class) generated against canine cardiac SR-Ca2+ ATPase inhibits the cardiac but not the skeletal ATPase activity. Immunization of CAF1/J mice with 4C11-20.21-affinity-column-purified cardiac SR-ATPase produced a time-dependent induction of myocardial injury consistent with the diagnosis of myocarditis. Furthermore, the antibody 4C11-20.21 alone can induce myo-necrosis in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice indicating a mechanism of cardiomyopathy independent of the cytotoxic T-cell mediated autoimmunopathy. Administration of 4C11-20.21 into immunocompetent CAF1/J mice resulted in minimal myocardial abnormality (40% with perivascular and/or interstitial mononuclear lymphoplasmacytoid aggregates, 10% with borderline myocarditis and 10% with lesions consistent with focal myocarditis). All control animals had normal hearts. Immunoperoxidase electron microscopic examination of the involved cardiac tissues showed antibody localization in the subsarcolemmal myotubular system and focal staining of the immediately adjacent sarcolemma in mice injected with 4C11-20.21 but not with 2C12.1B5. The time-dependent association between cardiac SR-Ca2+ ATPase administration and development of myocardial lesions, as well as potentiated induction of myonecrosis with anti-cardiac SR-Ca2+ ATPase antibody in SCID relative to immunocompetent mice, suggest a potential autoimmunopathogenic role of cardiac SR-Ca2+ ATPase in experimental myocarditis.

Abstract
We have investigated the plasma membrane (PMCA) and endoplasmic reticulum (SERCA) Ca(2+)-ATPases involved in active transport of Ca2+ in pancreatic beta-cell lines (MIN6, HIT T15, RINm5F) and in islets of Langerhans. Under selective membrane phosphorylation conditions (at low ATP concentration, in the presence of Ca2+ and La3+ and in the absence of Mg2+ at 4 degrees C) the only labelled proteins are the phosphoenzyme intermediates of the Ca(2+)-ATPases. Under these conditions, beta-cell membranes incorporated 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into two proteins with molecular mass on acidic SDS-polyacrylamide gels of around 115 and 150 kDa. The 150 kDa band was identified as PMCA (i) by reaction with a monoclonal anti-human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase antibody; (ii) by its typical tryptic cleavage pattern which generated an 80 kDa band; (iii) by lack of inhibition of its autophosphorylation by SERCA-specific inhibitors. The 115 kDa band was identified as SERCA (i) by reaction with a polyclonal anti-rat fast skeletal muscle Ca(2+)-ATPase antibody; (ii) by the concentration-dependent inhibition of its autophosphorylation by thapsigargin and 2,5-di(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBHQ), which are specific inhibitors of SERCA. The 115 kDa band was further characterised as the SERCA-2b isoform by reaction with a polyclonal rabbit antibody against the 12 C-terminal amino acids of SERCA-2b.

Abstract
Antibodies against the four isoforms of the human plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) were raised using an N-terminal sequence of the pump as epitope. The antibodies against PMCA isoforms 1, 2, and 3 were not species-specific, e.g. they also recognized the corresponding proteins in rat, whereas that against the human PMCA isoform 4 failed to do so. The tissue distribution of the four isoforms was estimated by Western blot analysis. Two, PMCA1 and PMCA4, were expressed in all tissues tested (with the exception of the choroid plexus, where the former was not detected). In most tissues the signal from the PMCA1 protein exceeded that of PMCA4, the exception being the erythrocyte. The PMCA2 and PMCA3 proteins were only found in neuronal tissues; the PMCA2 protein was present in high concentrations in the cerebellum and in the cerebral cortex. At variance with previous results on mRNA (e.g. the kidney) no other tissues contained the PMCA2 protein. PMCA3 was the other tissue-specific isoform; in agreement with results in the rat, the protein was found in human neuronal tissues, particularly in the choroid plexus, but was practically absent in all other tissues tested.

Abstract
The Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum is inhibited by melittin at pH 7.4. Melittin has no effect on the rate of phosphorylation of the ATPase or on the rate of the Ca2+ transport step, but melittin inhibits dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated ATPase at pH 7.3. At pH 6.0, melittin has no effect on ATPase activity or on the rate of dephosphorylation. At pH 7.4, inhibition of ATPase activity fitted to a Kd of 0.4 microM for melittin. Analogues of melittin in which the two Arg residues were replaced by Gln [melittin(RR to QQ)] or the two Lys residues were replaced by Gln [melittin-(KK to QQ)] also inhibited ATPase activity, but with an increased Kd value of 3.4 microM. Analogues of melittin containing an extra Lys residue at the C-terminus [melittin(+K)] or in which the Trp residue had been replaced with a Leu residue [melittin(W to L)] had the same effect on activity as melittin. Melittin and all the analogues increased the permeability of the SR membrane to Ca2+ with equal potency at pH 6.4, as shown by a reduction in level of Ca2+ accumulation. Melittin and all the analogues also shifted the E2-E1 equilibrium of the ATPase toward E1 with equal potency at pH 7.2, consistent with stronger binding to the E1 conformation. It is suggested that effects on Ca2+ permeability and on the E2-E1 equilibrium could follow from binding of the N-terminus of melittin at the membrane--water interface, and that effects on ATPase activity could follow from binding of the positively charged C-terminus between the phosphorylation and nucleotide binding domains.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Despite previous reports [McLaughlin (1985) Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 15, 189-201; Ghosh, Ray, Sarkar and Bhaduri (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 11345-11351; Mazumder, Mukherjee, Ghosh, Ray and Bhaduri (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 18440-18446] suggesting that the plasma-membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases of different trypanosomatids differ from the Ca2+ pumps present in mammalian cells, Trypanosoma cruzi plasma-membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase shares several characteristics with the Ca2+ pumps present in other systems. This enzyme could be partially purified from epimastigote plasma-membrane vesicles using calmodulin-agarose affinity chromatography. The activity of the partially purified enzyme was stimulated by T. cruzi or bovine brain calmodulin. In addition, the enzyme cross-reacted with antiserum and monoclonal antibody 5F10 raised against human red-blood-cell Ca(2+)-ATPase, has a molecular mass of 140 kDa and forms Ca(2+)-dependent hydroxylamine-sensitive phosphorylated intermediates. These results, together with its high sensitivity to vanadate, indicate that this enzyme belongs to the P-type class of ionic pumps.

Abstract
The C-terminal 165 amino acids of the rat brain plasma membrane (PM) Ca(2+)-ATPase II containing the calmodulin binding auto-inhibitory domain was connected to the C-terminus of the ouabain sensitive chicken Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 1 subunit. Expression of this chimeric molecule in ouabain resistant mouse L cells was assured by the high-affinity binding of [3H]ouabain. In the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin, this chimeric molecule exhibited ouabain inhibitable Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity; the putative chimeric ATPase activity was absent in the absence of Ca2+/calmodulin and activated by Ca2+/calmodulin in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, this chimeric molecule could bind monoclonal IgG 5 specific to the chicken Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 1 subunit only in the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin, suggesting that the epitope for IgG 5 in this chimera is masked in the absence of Ca2+/calmodulin and uncovered in their presence. These results propose a direct interaction between the calmodulin binding auto-inhibitory domain of the PM Ca(2+)-ATPase and the specific regions of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 1 subunit that are structurally homologous to the PM Ca(2+)-ATPase. A comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed several possible regions within the Na+,K(+)-ATPase that might interact with the auto-inhibitory domain of the PM Ca(2+)-ATPase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various myocardial cell surface and intracellular antigens have been associated with autoimmune myocarditis. Since sarcoplasmic calcium overload is a recognized pathobiochemical finding in cardiomyopathy, we reasoned that there might be a causal relation between inhibition of sarcoplasmic calcium exclusion and pathogenesis of the disease and that immunization with sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SR-ATPase) or antibody specific for SR-ATPase, which can interfere with the regulation of the intracellular calcium content and the myocardial contractility, should lead to the development of cardiomyopathy and possibly myocarditis. METHODS AND RESULTS Monoclonal antibody 4C11-20.21 (IgM class) specific for canine cardiac SR-ATPase (M(r) approximately 110 kD) was generated by immunization of CAF1/J mice with dog heart sarcoplasmic reticulum. Antibody 4C11-20.21 inhibits 75% of the enzymatic activity of the cardiac SR-ATPase. This antibody also cross-reacts with the higher M(r) subunit of canine skeletal SR-ATPase, but the skeletal muscle SR-ATPase activity is unaffected. This antibody does not cross-react with sarcolemmal calcium ATPase (134 kD). Antibody 4C11-20.21 was used for affinity purification of cardiac muscle SR-ATPase, which did not contain sarcolemmal calcium ATPase antigen. Nine of 11 CAF1/J mice injected with purified canine cardiac SR-ATPase protein demonstrated myocardial lesions: 3 of 4 mice had occasional perivascular and/or interstitial mononuclear cell infiltrates after 3 weeks, 3 of 4 had borderline myocarditis after 6 weeks, and 3 of 3 had focal myocarditis after 12 weeks. No mononuclear infiltrates were seen in any other organ. To identify the independent effect of 4C11-20.21 antibody on cardiac muscle, 2 x 10(6) hybridoma cells producing the antibody were injected intraperitoneally into 12 severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. Eleven of 12 SCID mice showed variable cardiac myocyte degeneration without cellular infiltration between 8 and 19 days. Three control SCID mice, which received equivalent injections of hybridoma cells producing IgM anti-myosin light chain antibody, did not show any pathological lesions. Immunoperoxidase staining and/or immunoperoxidase transmission electron microscopy for detection of in vivo localization of 4C11-20.21 demonstrated staining of the subsarcolemmal myotubular system and focal staining of immediately adjacent sarcolemma in animals that received either 4C11-20.21 hybridoma cells or purified canine cardiac SR-ATPase antigen but not in controls. Immunofluorescence staining with goat anti-mouse C3 antibody revealed focal deposition of complement in the cardiac myocytes. CONCLUSIONS The time-dependent association between immunization with SR-ATPase antigen and the development of myocarditis in mice suggests that cardiac SR-ATPase constitutes one of several autoimmunogens capable of inducing autoimmune myocarditis. Besides antigenic specificity, since antibody to cardiac SR-ATPase also inhibits energy-dependent processes in the myocardium, it is reasonable to associate the pathological evidence of myonecrosis with the interference of calcium regulation, which controls myocardial contractility.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies against ryanodine receptor (5C3) and calcium ATPase (D12) of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum were used in an immunoelectron microscopic study of cerebellar Purkinje cells and neurons of the hypoglossal and dorsal motor nuclei of the vagus (DMV) from rat and guinea-pig. All neurones were labelled with D12 and all, except rat DMV, labelled with 5C3. Most labelling was on smooth endoplasmic reticulum within 500 nm of the plasmalemma where Ca(2+)-activated Ca2+ release would rapidly increase cytosolic calcium following a small Ca2+ influx across the plasmalemma.

Abstract
The increased peripheral vascular resistance in subjects with essential hypertension and in subjects with primary Raynaud's phenomenon is thought to be the consequence of an impaired control of intracellular Ca2+ in vascular smooth muscle cells. Abnormal membrane handling of Ca2+ in human essential hypertension is not limited to vascular smooth muscle cells but has been demonstrated in a number of blood cells, for example, erythrocytes. Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and Ca(2+)-ATPase densities were measured in erythrocyte membranes from healthy volunteers and subjects with essential hypertension or with Raynaud's phenomenon. We found no significant differences between the three groups in the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and in the number of Ca(2+)-ATPase immunoreactive sites per erythrocyte. Furthermore, we could not demonstrate any influence of sex or age on these two parameters. We conclude that, in essential hypertension and in Raynaud's phenomenon, the Ca2+ extrusion capacity of the erythrocytes is not altered.

Abstract
In mixed platelet membrane vesicles the presence of two distinct endoplasmic reticulum-type calcium pump enzymes of 100 and 97 kD molecular mass has been demonstrated. We have previously shown that both calcium pumps were recognized by polyclonal anti-sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump antisera [11]. In the present work we studied the effects of several calcium pump inhibitors on active calcium transport and inositol trisphosphate-induced calcium release in these vesicles in an attempt to assign the two calcium pump isoenzymes to specific calcium pools. The effect of the PL/IM 430 inhibitory anti-calcium pump antibody was compared to that of other calcium pump inhibitors acting predominantly on the 100 and the 97 kD calcium pump isoforms, respectively. The PL/IM 430 antibody, which recognized the 97 kD pump on Western blots and 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone, which inhibited phosphoenzyme formation of the same pump isoform, inhibited calcium accumulation predominantly into an inositol trisphosphate-releasable calcium pool. On the other hand, low concentration of thapsigargin, which inhibited phosphoenzyme formation mainly of the 100 kD pump isozyme, had a more pronounced effect on calcium uptake into an inositol trisphosphate-resistant pool. These data suggest that in platelets the 97 kD calcium pump isoform is likely to be associated with the inositol trisphosphate-sensitive calcium storage organelle.

Abstract
The Ca2+ pump in the plasma membrane plays a key role in the fine control of the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration. In the present study, its subcellular localization was examined with immunocytochemical techniques using a specific antibody generated against the erythrocyte membrane Ca2+ pump ATPase. By immunofluorescence microscopy of cultured cells, the labeling with the antibody was seen as numerous small dots, often distributed in linear arrays or along cell edges. Immunogold EM of cryosections revealed that the dots correspond to caveolae, or smooth invaginations of the plasma membrane. The same technique applied to mouse tissues in vivo showed that the Ca2+ pump is similarly localized in caveolae of endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells, epidermal keratinocytes and mesothelial cells. By quantitative analysis of the immunogold labeling, the Ca2+ pump in capillary endothelial cells and visceral smooth muscle cells was found to be concentrated 18-25-fold in the caveolar membrane compared with the noncaveolar portion of the plasma membrane. In renal tubular and small intestinal epithelial cells, which have been known to contain the Ca2+ pump but do not have many caveolae, most of the labeling was randomly distributed in the basolateral plasma membrane, although caveolae were also positively labeled. The results demonstrate that the caveolae in various cells has the plasmalemmal Ca2+ pump as a common constituent. In conjunction with our recent finding that an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-like protein exists in the caveolae (Fujimoto, T., S. Nakade, A. Miyawaki, K. Mikoshiba, and K. Ogawa. 1992. J. Cell Biol. 119:1507-1513), it is inferred that the smooth plasmalemmal invagination is an apparatus specialized for Ca2+ intake and extrusion from the cytoplasm.

Abstract
We have established that the monoclonal antibody (MAb) AA21, raised against a crude sarcolemmal fraction prepared from adult chicken anterior latissimus dorsi muscle, recognizes the slow twitch/cardiac isoform of calcium ATPase. This was done using a combination of immunohistochemistry at the light and electron microscopic level, the change in the cell distribution in skeletal muscle during development, the molecular weight of the principal protein recognized in Western transfers, and direct comparison with another MAb of known specificity. The antigen is initially expressed by all myotubes at E10 and with development is gradually lost from all presumptive fast fibers. In addition to its immunoreaction and slow extrafusal skeletal muscle fibers, AA21 displays a highly selective immunoreactivity with a number of other cell types in different tissues. The antibody stains a subset of intrafusal muscle fibers and intestinal and arterial smooth muscle, but not venous smooth muscle. In the nervous system, a subpopulation of neurons is intensely stained, most neurons are faintly stained, and glia are not stained at all.

Abstract
We investigated the expression of Ca++ pump epitopes during enamel and dentin mineralization in the rat incisor. Secretory and maturation ameloblasts were studied as well as odontoblasts, using a monoclonal antibody (5F10) against human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca++, Mg(++)-ATPase. A progressive increase in staining intensity in ameloblasts and the odontoblasts was observed beginning with the onset of mineralization. The mainly membrane-related labeling of ameloblasts showed variable intensity depending on the stage of enamel formation, whereas that of the odontoblasts showed even intensity during continued dentinogenesis. Staining of papillary cells was evident only during enamel maturation. Western blot analysis of freeze-dried ameloblasts was also used to determine the molecular weight of the Ca++ pump epitopes as well as the distribution and relative concentration of epitopes at each stage. An immunoreactive band of MW 140 KD and lower molecular weight bands that are more intense in late than in early maturation were demonstrated. Our studies suggest that the expression of plasma membrane Ca++ pump parallels the progression of mineralization in rat incisor enamel and dentin.

Abstract
The formation of sarcoballs on the surface of skinned fibres from semitendinosus muscles of Xenopus laevis, and the sarcoplasmic reticulum content of the structures, have been studied using conventional electron microscopic techniques and immunoelectron microscopy. Examination of the fibres showed many membrane-bound blebs projecting from the surface in areas where vesicles of internal membranes (including sarcoplasmic reticulum, T-tubules and mitochondria) were clustered in interfilament spaces. The blebs varied in size from 1 micron to 150 microns and those with diameters > 10 microns are referred to as sarcoballs. Small blebs were often seen in close association with each other and might have fused during sarcoball formation. The interior of the sarcoball was filled with foam-like material made up of vesicles with diameters of 100 nm to 1.0 microns. The sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane content of the sarcoballs was evaluated using two monoclonal antibodies, one to the Ca2+ ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the second to ryanodine receptor calcium release channels in the junctional-face membrane. The antibodies bound to some components of the surface and interior of the sarcoball, but not to mitochondrial-like structures and tubular vesicles. The results show that a large component of the sarcoball and its surface is derived from sarcoplasmic reticulum and suggest that mitochondria and T-tubules might also contribute membranes to the structures. Our hypothesis is that (a) blebs bud out from the surface of the skinned fibre following fusion of internal vesicles that are extruded along interfilament channels during unrestrained contractures, (b) blebs grow into sarcoballs by additional fusion of internal membrane vesicles and fusion of adjacent blebs, and (c) the sarcoball is a foam-like structure composed of bathing medium and membrane lipid (containing membrane proteins).

Abstract
Novel monoclonal antibodies were raised against sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium (Ca2+)-ATPase of human skeletal muscle. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that these antibodies, designated 6F5 and 7F10, bind Ca(2+)-ATPase of non-muscle tissue of the adult including parathyroid, islets of Langerhans, anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and photoreceptor cells of the retina as well as skeletal muscle. A positive reaction was also found for fetal tissues including skeletal muscle, heart, chondrocytes and peripheral nerves. Our results for distribution suggest that Ca(2+)-ATPase is strongly expressed in the tissues and cells in which signal transduction is actively carried out by Ca2+ release from the cytoplasmic Ca2+ pool.
