Exposure of liver microsomes to 2-chloroethylethyl sulfide (CEES) led to a dose-dependent decrease of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. Studies on a structural requirement and a time dependence suggest that the enzyme inhibition may proceed via an instantaneous process involving an alkylation by an unstable intermediate, presumably a sulfonium form. It is noteworthy that the microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase was more sensitive to CEES than the Na+/K(+)-ATPase from erythrocyte membranes. The Ca(2+)-ATPase was inhibited non-competitively by CEES, and its inhibitory action was independent of Ca2+ concentrations. The involvement of membrane phospholipid in the enzyme inhibition is excluded, since the temperature dependence of microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase was not affected by CEES. Moreover, Triton X-100-solubilized Ca(2+)-ATPase was inactivated by the compound to the same extent as the membrane-bound enzyme was. Thus, it is suggested that CEES inactivates Ca(2+)-ATPase by alkylating the enzyme molecule at a region other than the active site.

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.
