Abstract
In the absence of calcium, interaction of magnesium with SR-ATPase induced a blue shift in intrinsic fluorescence emission. This Mg2+-induced fluorescence change was pH-dependent and an apparent Mg dissociation constant of 5 mM was found at pH 7. Equilibrium studies showed that magnesium competes for the high affinity Ca2+ binding sites and stopped flow measurements of the transient kinetics indicated a multistep interaction between magnesium and the calcium pump. These results suggest that magnesium drives the sarcoplasmic reticulum atpase toward an E.Mg species which might be a dead-end complex.Entities:
