Abstract: | We have cloned and sequenced complementary DNA encoding a Ca2+-ATPase of rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. We propose a model of the protein which has 3 cytoplasmic domains joined to a set of 10 transmembrane helices by a narrow, penta-helical stalk. In this model, ATP bound to one cytoplasmic domain would phosphorylate an aspartate in an adjoining cytoplasmic domain, inducing translocation of Ca2+ from binding sites on the stalk. |
