The hepatic microsomal Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent ATPase phosphoenzyme intermediates were distinguished by using the chelators EGTA and CDTA (trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-NNN'N'-tetra-acetic acid). The Ca2+-ATPase intermediate is a hydroxylamine-labile base-labile 125 000-Mr phosphoprotein. The Mg2+-ATPase intermediate is a hydroxylamine-stable base-stable 30 000-Mr phosphoprotein. This enzyme intermediate probably reflects the large basal ATPase activity of hepatic microsomal fraction. It is dependent on Mg2+, since formation of the phosphoenzyme is abolished in the presence of CDTA. Under these conditions, the basal ATPase activity is dramatically decreased. These data demonstrate two separate and distinct enzymes which are responsible for the two ATPase activities of hepatic microsomal fraction. Furthermore, these data indicate that more meaningful data about the microsomal Ca2+-ATPase might be obtained if the free ion concentrations are controlled with CDTA.

We recently reported that the phospholipid composition of mouse liver microsomes could be altered in vivo by a combination of dietary choline deprivation and administration of the methylation inhibitors periodate-oxidized adenosine and cycloleucine (D.M. Boyle & W.L. Dean (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 688, 667-670). We have now determined the effect of this in vivo change in phospholipid composition on 7 microsomal enzyme activities and 2 cytochromes. The specific contents of cytochromes b5 and P-450 were unaffected by the treatment. Similarly, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome P-450 reductase, cyclohexane hydroxylase and Mg2+-ATPase were not significantly altered. In addition, the phospholipid/protein ratio was not changed. In contrast, Ca2+-ATPase and Ca2+ transport rates were reduced by more than 60%. This result suggests that the mouse liver microsomal Ca2+-ATPase is extremely sensitive to the phospholipid composition of the membrane in which it is embedded and that one mode of control of calcium metabolism in liver cells could be at the level of membrane phospholipid composition.
