Abstract
The apparent Ca(2+) affinity of the isoforms of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase SERCA2 is controlled primarily by two proteins, phospholamban (PLB) and sarcolipin (SLN). The rate of ATP-driven Ca(2+) uptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)-derived vesicles can be monitored by a technique in which the net uptake of (45)Ca(2+) in the form of an intravesicular calcium oxalate precipitate is recorded. Here, we present details of a modification of such a protocol for determining the apparent Ca(2+) affinity of the Ca(2+) pump, and its control by various regulators, in crude homogenates of mouse heart.
