Abstract
Ca2+ release from skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) could be regulated by at least three mechanisms: 1) Ca2+, 2) calmodulin, and 3) Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. Bell-shaped Ca2+-dependence, of Ca2+ release from both actively- and passively-loaded SR vesicles suggest that opening and closing of the Ca2+ release channel could be regulated by [Ca2+ o] . The time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of Ca 2+ release from skeletal SR by calmodulin was also studied using passively-Ca2+ loaded SR vesicles. Up to 50% of Ca 2+ release was inhibited by calmodulin (0.01–0.5 µM); this inhibition required 5–15 min preincubation time. The hypothesis that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of a 60 kDa protein regulates Ca2+ release from skeletal SR was tested by stopped-flow fluorometry using passively-Ca2+-loaded SR vesicles. Approximately 80% of the initial rates of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release was inhibited by the phosphorylation within 2 min of incubation of the SR with Mg·ATP and calmodulin. We identified two types of 60 kDa phosphoproteins in the rabbit skeletal SR, which was distinguished by solubility of the protein in CHAPS. The CHAPS-soluble 60 kDa phosphoprotein was purified by column chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, heparin-agarose, and hydroxylapatite. Analyses of the purified protein indicate that the CHAPS-soluble 60 kDa protein is an isoform of phosphoglucomutase (PGM). cDNAs encoding isoforms of PGM were cloned and sequenced using synthetic oligonucleotides. Two types of PGM isoforms (Type I and Type 11) were identified. The translated amino acid sequences show that Type II isoform is SR-form. Our results are significant in terms of understanding evidence of an association of glycolytic and glycogenolytic enzymes with SR and a role in the regulation of SR functions.
