Phospholipid-protein interactions in the Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase of sarcoplasmic reticulum

A. F. Knowles, E. Eytan and E. Racker

Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase from sarcoplasmic reticulum has been delipidated by gel filtration through a Sephadex G-200 column equilibrated with buffer containing cholate. The delipidated Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase had negligible adenosine triphosphatase activity, but up to 50% of the ATPase activity was restored when the delipidated enzyme was recombined with phosphilipids. It was shown with the delipidated preparation that the phosphorylation of the enzyme by either ATP or Pi was entirely dependent on phospholipids. Among the purified phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine reactivated the adenosine triphosphatase activity better than phosphatidylethanolamine. Vesicles capable of translocating Ca2+ were reconstituted from delipidated Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase and phosphatidylethanolamine, but not with phosphatidylcholine alone. We conclude that the firmly bound phospholipids which are purified together with the adenosine triphosphatase protein are not essential for the pump since they can be substituted by phosphatidylethanolamine isolated from soybeans.
