Abstract The affinity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum transport ATPase for calcium and ATP is not affected by lipid depriviation while vanadate binding is completely abolished. Lipid substitution restores vanadate binding as well as the vanadate induced disappearance of the enzyme’s high affinity calcium and nucleotide binding sites. Nucleotide binding is simultaneously restored with the displacement of vanadate from the enzyme following the occupation of its low affinity calcium binding sites.

The calcium binding properties of bovin fibrinogen have been studied using equilibrium dialysis method. At pH 7.5 fibrinogen has 3 specific calcium binding sites of high affinity and several non specific binding sites of low affinity. Direct titration of the calcium induced proton release indicates that the binding center is a chelate. Thermal an acid denaturation is found to be markedly influenced by the presence of Ca++, suggesting that structural features are related to the binding. However the circular dichroism spectra show that no generalized conformational change is induced when Ca++ is bound to the protein.The plasminic digestion of fibrinogen is also found to be specificaly influenced by Ca++. The velocity of the initial cleavages is slightly reduced in the presence of calcium. It is therefore suggested that the C-terminal part of the Aα chain is involved in the binding.Considering the dimeric structure of the fibrinogen molecule, the presence of only 3 calcium binding sites of high affinity suggests the existence of “salt bridges” between the constitutive polypeptide chains.

Calcium binding sites having low affinity constants of < 103 ᴍ-1 were titrated in native sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles as well as in lipid deprived membranes and in the isolated calcium transport ATPase. Short time calcium binding measurements and the determination of the calcium binding heat allow to distinguish low affinity calcium binding sites located on the external surface of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes from those present in the section of the transport molecule directed to the vesicular space. The same number of internal binding sites was found for preparations deprived of their lipid content as well as of preparations depleted of their lipids and of their accessorial proteins. Magnesium interferes with calcium binding to the external as well as to the internal low affinity calcium binding sites. The implications of the existence of the low affinity calcium binding sites in the internal section of the calcium transport ATPase are discussed.
