The second tryptic digestion (TD2) of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase results in the decrease of Ca2+ transport due to uncoupling and the alteration of one of the two high affinity sites to a low affinity site. The eight amino acids adjacent to the tryptic digestion site form a torus with two carboxylic side chains of one aspartic and one glutamic acid for the fast twitch skeletal ATPase and two aspartic acids for the slow twitch/cardiac ATPase toward the inside. The eight amino acid peptides were synthesized for both forms of the ATPase and their binding characteristics were studied with luminescent Eu3+ as a Ca2+ analogue. The data indicate that the peptide binds Eu3+ with 1.0 Eu3+/peptide and strips off two water molecules. The peptide region is a candidate for the Ca2+ transport site of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase.

The effects of trypsin digestion and low temperature on Ca2+ binding and on Ca2+ activation of ATP hydrolysis by the high-affinity transport sites of the Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum were examined. Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles contain 0.7-1.1 high-affinity Ca2+ sites per 10(5) g sarcoplasmic reticulum with K = 3-5 X 10(5) M-1, as well as sites of lower affinity. The first cleavage of the ATPase with trypsin (TD1) has no effect on the binding properties of the high affinity sites. The second tryptic cleavage (TD2) decreases the affinity of the high sites to K = 3 X 10(4) M-1 with conservation of the total number of sites. The purified ATPase contains 1.6-2.0 high affinity Ca2+ sites per 10(5) g protein when measured at 23 degrees C, while at 0-4 degrees C there is approximately equal to 1 high-affinity (K = 5 - 10 X 10(5) M-1) affinity site and approximately equal to 1 intermediate-affinity (K = 3 X 10(4) M-1) site per 10(5) g. Trypsin digestion to the point of TD1 has no effect on either the number or the binding constants of the high-affinity sites. Upon TD2 cleavage, one of the sites is converted to the intermediate-affinity state, while the other remains at high affinity. After TD2 modification of the enzyme both of the sites are in the intermediate affinity state at 4 degrees C. On the basis of the binding data, several models for the roles of the Ca2+ sites in the activation of ATP hydrolysis are derived. The results are summarized by a scheme in which the two high-affinity Ca2+ sites are heterogeneous with respect to sensitivity to temperature and to TD2 modification. The results of this and a previous study [Scott, T. L. and Shamoo, A. E. (1982) J. Membr. Biol. 64, 137-144] indicate that while occupation of either of the two Ca2+ sites can stimulate ATP hydrolysis, the site which is sensitive to TD2 is essential for the coupling of hydrolysis to Ca2+ transport.

The uncoupling of Ca2+ transport from ATP hydrolysis in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase by trypsin digestion was re-investigated by comparing ATPase activity with the ability of the enzyme to occlude Eu3+ (a transport parameter) after various tryptic digests. With this method, re-examination of uncoupling by tryptic digest of the ATPase revealed that TD2 cleavage (Arg-198) had no effect on either occlusion or ATPase activity. Digestion past TD2 in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+ and at 25 degrees C resulted in the loss of about 70% of the ATPase activity, but no loss of occlusion. Digestion past TD2 in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+, 3 mM ATP, and at 25 degrees C resulted in a partially uncoupled enzyme complex which retained about 50% of the ATPase activity, but completely lost the ability to occlude Eu3+. Digest past TD2 in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+ and 3 mM AMP-PNP (a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog) at 25 degrees C resulted in no loss of occlusion, thus revealing the absolute requirement of ATP during the digest to eliminate occlusion. From these findings we conclude that uncoupling of Ca2+ transport from ATPase activity is possible by tryptic digestion of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. Interestingly, only after phosphorylation of the enzyme do the susceptible bond(s) which lead to the loss of occlusion become exposed to trypsin.
