Ca++-uptake and Mg++-Ca++-dependent ATPase activity of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were reciprocally affected by increasing the oxalate concentration from 0 to 4 mM. At 0-0.1 mM oxalate approximately 17% of the calcium was removed by the vesicles from the medium while the ATPase

A continuous, spectrophotometric assay to simultaneously measure Ca uptake and ATP hydrolysis has been developed, in order to assess the function of the Ca-ATPase in skeletal and cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles. The absorbance of Fura Red was measured continuously at \(490 \mathrm{~nm}\
## Abstract Calcium ATPase is a member of the Pβtype ATPase, and it pumps calcium ions from the cytoplasm into the reticulum against a concentration gradient. Several Xβray structures of different conformations have been solved in recent years, providing basis for elucidating the active transport m
We have examined calcium cycling and associated ATP consumption by isolated heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) vesicles incubated in conditions believed to exist in resting muscle. Our goals were to estimate the magnitude of calcium cycling under those conditions and identify the main mechanisms inv
