The activator of the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase of erythrocyte membranes was purified 13,000-fold to homogeneity from human erythrocytes. The protein gave a single band upon electrophoresis both with and without detergent, and upon isoelectric focusing. This protein was compared with Ca2+-binding modulator proteins from bovine brain and rat testis. All three proteins were homogeneous and co-migrated on electrophoresis both in the presence of detergent and without detergent at pH values on both sides of the isoelectric point of the protein. The amino acid compositions of the three proteins were nearly indistinguishable, and all three proteins contained 1 residue of the unusual amino acid, trimethyllysine. All three were also indistinguishable as measured by their ability to further stimulate the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase of human erythrocyte membranes. Thus, we conclude that they represent functionally the same protein. Upon storage of all three proteins, a second band was detectable by detergent gel electrophoresis; the biochemical activity and the behavior on nondetergent gels were not changed. The presence of this second band is probably responsible for previous reports of differences between the rat testis and bovine brain modulator protein. The possibility is discussed that this protein is a general intracellular Ca2+ receptor, which mediates the activities of Ca2+ as an intracellular messenger.

Modulator-deficient myosin light-chain kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle was purified by modulator protein-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The purified protein showed a single band (MW 80,000) on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, and it exists as a monomer in the native state as determined by gel filtration. The modulator-deficient myosin light-chain kinase (MW 80,000), modulator protein (MW 16,500) and Ca2+ were essential for the kinase activity. The half-maximal activity of the kinase in the presence of excess modulator protein with 10 mM MgCl2 was at pCa 5.1, where full activity of actomyosin-ATPase is observed in the presence of the troponin--tropomyosin system. Assuming a rapid equilibrium between myosin light-chain kinase and two substrates, ATP and g2 light-chain, Km values for ATP and g2 light chain were evaluated as 0.28 mM and 0.024 mM, respectively. Vm/e was 5.7 s-1.

Red blood cells contain a protein that activates membrane-bound (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and Ca2+ transport. The red blood cell activator protein is similar to a modulator protein that stimulates cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Wang and Desai [Journal of Biological Chemistry 252:4175--4184, 1977] described a modulator-binding protein that antagonizes the activation of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase by modulator protein. In the present work, modulator-binding protein was shown to antagonize the activation of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and Ca2+ transport by red blood cell activator protein. The results further demonstrate the similarity between the activator protein from human red blood cells and the modulator protein from bovine brain.

Active transport of calcium into inside-out vesicles of red blood cell membranes was stimulated equally by (i) the purified protein activator of calcium-activated, magnesium-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase isolated from red cell hemolyzates and (ii) calmodulin, a protein activator of cylic nucleotide phosphodiesterase isolated from bovine brain. The results provide further evidence for the identity of red blood cell activator and calmodulin and show that this cytoplasmic protein may participate in the regulation of plasma membrane calcium transport.

Human erythrocyte and bovine brain calmodulins were indistinguishable by tryptic peptide mapping, indicating that the primary sequence of the two proteins is either very similar or identical. Calcium binding determinations of human erythrocyte calmodulin, by equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence titration, were in close agreement with previous studies on other calmodulins. The calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase which is stimulated by calmodulin was shown to be firmly associated with smooth erythrocyte plasma membranes devoid of spectrin and actin. Kinetic titration demonstrated that there are 4500 calmodulin binding sites per erythrocyte and that the turnover number of this calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase is 3000 mumol of Pi . (mumol of site)-1 . min-1 which is similar to the turnover numbers of other transport adenosine triphosphatases. Furthermore, calmodulin stimulates calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase by a simple enzyme-ligand association.

The (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase from human erythrocyte membranes has been solubilized in Triton X-100 and purified on a calmodulin affinity chromatography column in the presence of phosphatidylserine, to limit the inactivation of the enzyme. The enzyme was purified at least 150 times when compared with the original ghosts and showed a specific activity of 3.8 mumol.mg-1.min-1. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, a single major band was visible at a position corresponding to a molecular weight of about 125,000; a minor band (11% of the total protein) was present at a position corresponding to Mr = 205,000. Upon incubation of the purified preparation with [32P]ATP, both bands were phosphorylated in proportion to their mass, suggesting that both were active forms of purified ATPase.

The recently discovered heat-stable inhibitor protein of the Ca2+-activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (Sharma, R. K., Wirch, E. & Warg, J. H. (1978) J. Biol. Chem., in press) has been purified 238 214-fold from bovine brain extract using an affinity column of the modulator protein--Sepharose 4B conjugate. The purified sample appears to be homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) gel electrophoresis. The protein band has a mobility corresponding to that of a polypeptide of molecular weight 68 000. Since the heat-stable inhibitor protein has a molecular weight of 70 000 under nondenaturing conditions, it suggests that it is a monomeric protein. The protein has no inhibitory activity toward the cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein phosphatase. The purified sample has been tested for various enzyme activities which include ATPase, GTPase, cAMP phosphodiesterase, cGMP phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase, and protein kinase. None of these activities are exhibited by the purified sample.

V79 Chinese hamster cells were used as a model for the characterization of the Co(II) uptake into mammalian cells as well as the mechanisms involved. Co(II) was taken up in a dose and time dependent manner. The uptake was exponential without saturation in the tested concentration range up to 400 microM CoCl2. Furthermore, there was a high intracellular cobalt accumulation at elevated extracellular Co(II) doses (up to 16 fold at 200 microM). The time course of Co(II) uptake showed a maximum after about 8-12 h with no further change after the longest tested incubation time (24 h). The uptake of Co(II) into V79 cells seems to be mediated by multiple mechanisms: active, energy consuming transport like ion pumps and endocytosis, since the Co(II) uptake was significantly reduced by ouabain (an inhibitor of the Na+/K+ATPase), N-ethylmaleinimide (an inhibitor of the Ca2+/Mg2+ATPase and the Na+/K+ATPase), chlorpromazine (a calmodulin antagonist and inhibitor of the Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase) as well as by the endocytosis inhibitor chloroquine. Furthermore, the two agents iodoacetate and potassium cyanide, which produce ATP depletion, resulted in a diminution of the intracellular cobalt concentration. An uptake through anion channels could be excluded, since 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid was not inhibitory.

We describe the effects of various cardioactive compounds on the Ca++ activation of force production and ATPase activity in isolated contractile structures from mammalian heart and, in some cases, skeletal muscle. We show that: 1) the Ca++ sensitizing activity of APP 201-533 does not discriminate between cardiac and skeletal muscle and is, therefore, not based on interaction with cardiac troponin I phosphorylation at serine 20. 2) compounds like trifluoperazine or bepridil, both known to interact with calmodulin, increase the Ca++ sensitivity of the contractile structures of the heart, in high concentrations, as expected from the high natural abundance of troponin C. 3) DPI 201-106 interacts with calmodulin (and presumably with the structurally closely related troponin C) in the microM concentration range. Its high Ca(++)-sensitizing potency in skinned cardiac muscle and a certain sensitivity of this effect to the detergent Triton X-100 suggest accumulation of the hydrophobic compound in the myofibrillar protein lattice.

The Vmax of Ca2+ ATPase of pancreatic islets is reduced in states of chronic excess of PTH. This has been attributed to the reduced ATP content of pancreatic islet and to impaired response of the enzyme to calmodulin. It is also possible that excess PTH directly inhibits the activity of islet Ca2+ ATPase. The present study examined this issue. Small doses of 1-84 PTH (0.0625 and 0.125 x 10(-7) M) stimulated while larger doses (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 x 10(-7) M) inhibited the activity of Ca2+ ATPase of intact islets. PTH has no effect on Ca2+ ATPase when the hormone was added to preparation of membrane homogenate of islets. Verapamil abolished both the stimulatory as well the inhibitory effects of PTH on Ca2+ ATPase of intact islets. The data indicate that PTH does not have a direct effect on the Vmax of islet Ca2+ ATPase of islet. Its effect on the enzyme activity of intact islet is most likely mediated through the hormone-induced calcium influx.
