Reactivity of sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit cardiac muscle with 1-fluoro- and 1,5-difluoro- 2,4-dinitrobenzene. 1981

G Bailin

Sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations from rabbit cardiac and fast skeletal muscle react differentially with low concentrations of 1-fluoro- and 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Dinitrophenylation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene is not affected by Ca2+ and is limited to the lipoprotein-lipid region. This contrasts sharply with the predominant Ca2+-dependent dinitrophenylation of the ATPase protein of rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum by this reagent. Formation of non-serial high mol. wt. oligomers by 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene is significantly greater in cardiac than in skeletal vesicles. Substrate MgATP2- does not protect rabbit cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase activity or Ca2+ uptake from dinitrophenylation when monofunctional and bifunctional reagents are used. Chemical differences in the overall structure of the two kinds of membrane preparations can be ascertained from a comparison of the effects of Ca2+ and MgATP2- on the reactivity of these reagents.

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.
