ATPase and ATP-dependent calcium ion concentration was studied with a membrane fraction isolated from homogenized rabbit skeletal muscle by differential centrifugation. Electron micrographs of the fraction indicate that it consists mainly of resealed tubules and vesicles of the endoplasmic reticulum. The up-to-1400-fold concentration of calcium in this fraction might be explained by proposing the existence of an energy-requiring system for the transport of calcium ions into the tubules or…

p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate Hydrolysis and Calcium Ion Transport in Fragmented Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

The calcium ion pump of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum can be coupled to hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate, in the absence of added adenosine triphosphate. Comparison of the activities…

An Adenosine Triphosphatase Preparation from a Membrane‐Sarcotubular Fraction of Guinea Pig Heart Muscle

An adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) was prepared from guinea pig heart muscle membranes. It was found to require magnesium for activity, and to be stimulated by the presence of sodium and potassium…
