## Abstract Human red blood cells (RBC) contain a cytoplasmic, nonhemoglobin protein which activates the (Ca^2+^‐Mg^2+^) ATPase of isolated RBC membranes. Results presented in this paper confirm that activation of (Ca^2+^‐Mg^2+^)ATPase is associated with binding of the cytoplasmic activator to the

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Crosslinking of membrane proteins of Escherichia coli with dithiobis (succinimidyl propionate) (DSP) resulted in loss of several enzyme activities including the Ca^2+^, Mg^2+^‐activated ATPase. This enzyme was crosslinked by DSP to the membrane and was not released by dialysis at low ionic strength in the absence of dithiothreitol which could cleave the crosslinking group. DSP inactivated both phosphohydrolase and coupling activities of the solubilized ATPase. Loss of hydrolytic activity could be correlated with the extent of reaction of the α and/or β subunits of the enzyme. The loss of coupling activity appeared to be associated with modification of the γ and/or δ subunits.

## Abstract Previous studies have shown that mutations in the __unc__ gene of __Escherichia coli__ K12 cause defects in energy transduction as well as in a membrane‐bound (Mg^2+^,Ca^2+^)· adenosine triphosphatase. We studied the effect of this mutation on the “downhill” efflux of methyl‐β‐D‐galact
Three experiments employing male and female Syrian hamsters (aged 1, 2, and 8-10 months), male Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 1,2, and 10 months) and male C57B1 mice (aged 2, 7, 13, and 29 months) examined the effects of age and sex on Mg2+-dependent and Ca2+, M$+-dependent ATPase activity in the Harderi
## Abstract Red blood cells contain a protein that activates membrane‐bound (Ca^2+^ + Mg^2+^)‐ATPase and Ca^2+^ transport. The red blood cell activator protein is similar to a modulator protein that stimulates cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Wang and Desai [Journal of Biological Chemistry 252:4175–41
