| Formation and Decay of the Vanadate Complex of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Transport Protein  | | | Abstract
| The calcium free sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPase incorporates in the presence of magnesium ions approx. 8 nmol monovanadate per mg protein, indicating the formation of a complex containing one vanadate residue per enzyme molecule. On ligand-removal or dilution, the saturated enzyme complex displays biphasic decay kinetics, while the unsaturated complex slowly dissociates monophasically. — Ligand competition by raising the concentrations of un labeled vanadate results in a progressive decrease of the dissociation rate of the unsaturated enzyme. The complicated dissociation kinetics indicate a sequential mode of interaction between two ligand binding sites. The one to one stoichiometry of the complex suggests that the two sites are located at adjacent ATPase molecules. — It appears unlikely that the decay of the enzyme, vanadate complex is retarded by the formation of a stable quaternary complex between the enzyme, magnesium, mono-and polyvanadate. | | |
