Endogenous calmodulin and Ca2+-ATPase activity of human erythrocyte membranes. 1983

R Wetzker, and R Klinger, and H Frunder

Treatment of calmodulin-depleted erythrocyte membranes with oleic acid solubilizes only a minor fraction of membrane proteins which, however, contains more than 90% of the total endogenous calmodulin. Concomitantly, Ca2+-ATPase is completely and irreversibly inactivated. By treatment with oleic acid in the presence of Ca.ATP the inactivation of Ca2+-ATPase is abolished to a great extent, the loss of endogenous calmodulin, however, is not affected. Thus, a major participation of endogenous calmodulin in the regulation of Ca2+-ATPase of erythrocyte membranes seems to be improbable.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009829 Oleic Acids A group of fatty acids that contain 18 carbon atoms and a double bond at the omega 9 carbon. Octadecenoic Acids,Acids, Octadecenoic,Acids, Oleic
D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

D000252 Calcium-Transporting ATPases Cation-transporting proteins that utilize the energy of ATP hydrolysis for the transport of CALCIUM. They differ from CALCIUM CHANNELS which allow calcium to pass through a membrane without the use of energy.

D019301 Oleic Acid An unsaturated fatty acid that is the most widely distributed and abundant fatty acid in nature. It is used commercially in the preparation of oleates and lotions, and as a pharmaceutical solvent. (Stedman, 26th ed) 9-Octadecenoic Acid,Oleate,cis-9-Octadecenoic Acid,9 Octadecenoic Acid,cis 9 Octadecenoic Acid
