Regulation of calcium transport in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. 1976

M Tada, and M A Kirchberger, and A M Katz

A manyfold increase in phosphorylation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was seen when SR was incubated in the presence of a bovine cardiac cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and cyclic AMP. This phosphoprotein had stability characteristics of a phosphoester in which the phosphate is incorporated largely into serine, and its formation did not required calcium ions, unlike the formation of acyl phosphoprotein intermediate of calcium-transport ATPase which is present within the same membrane. When examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation occurred at a 22,000-dalton component of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. This 22,000-dalton protein has been named "phospholamban" (lambda alpha mu beta alpha nu epsilon iota nu = to receive), based on its ability to receive phosphate from ATP. Phosphorylation of phospholamban by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was associated with the stimulation of calcium transport by the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. This stimulation was accompanied by an increase in the calcium-activated ATPase activity, indicating that the overall rate of calcium transport rather than its efficiency is enhanced by protein kinase. The 22,000-dalton phopholamban was susceptible to trypsin. Brief digestion with trypsin in the presence of 1 M sucrose prevented subsequent phosphorylation of phospholamban, while leaving the calcium pump apparently intact. Incubation of trypsin-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum with cyclic AMP-depentent protein kinase did not result in the stimulation of calcium transport. These results may suggest that phospholamban is a modulator of the calcium pump of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

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.
