ATPase and phosphatase activities from human red cell membranes: II. The effects of phospholipases on Ca2+-dependent enzymic activities. 1977

D E Richards, and J C Vidal, and P J Garrahan, and A F Rega

Treatment of human red cell membranes with pure phospholipase A2 results in a progressive inactivation of both Ca2+-dependent and (Ca2+ + K+)-dependent ATPase and phosphatase activities. When phospholipase C replaces phospholipase A2, Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity and Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of red cell membranes are lost, while Ca2+-dependent phosphatase activity is enhanced and its apparent affinity for Ca2+ is increased about 20-fold. Activation of Ca2+-dependent phosphatase following phospholipase C treatment was not observed in sarcoplasmic reticulum preparation. Phospholipase C increases the sensitivity of the phosphatase to N-ethylmaleimide but has little effect on the kinetic parameters relating the phosphatase activity to substrate and cofactors, suggesting that no extensive structural disarrangement of the Ca2+-ATPase system has occurred after incubation with phospholipase C.

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.
