Observations on the (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activator found in various mammalian erythrocytes. 1976

M G Luthra, and G R Hildenbrandt, and H D Kim, and D J Hanahan

1. A soluble activator of membrane (Ca2+ plus Mg2)-ATPase is present in hemolysates of the newborn calf and cow, the new born and adult pig as well as human erythrocytes. 2. The activator is also found in reticulocytes of the adult pig. 3. The activator obtained from any of the above species is capable of stimulating the membrane (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPases of the other species, regardless of the age of the animals. 4. The results obtained from density fractionation of human erythrocytes revealed that the soluble factor has little simulatory effect on membranes of young erythrocytes from which it is derived but caused a marked stimulation on (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activity of the intermediate aged and old erythrocyte membranes. 5. The above observations support the following conclusions: (a) the extremely low levels of (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase in cow erythrocytes is not due to the lack of a (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activator; (b) the distribution of (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-atpase activator is not species specific and the differences in the level of membrane (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activity in various species of cells is an inherent property of that particular membrane (c) the (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activator is present at least from the time of reticulocyte formation and remain during tthe life span of the erythrocyte.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte
D001798 Blood Proteins Proteins that are present in blood serum, including SERUM ALBUMIN; BLOOD COAGULATION FACTORS; and many other types of proteins.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
