Roles of Tyr122-hydrophobic cluster and K+ binding in Ca2+ -releasing process of ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase.

ABSTRACT: Tyr(122)-hydrophobic cluster (Y122-HC) is an interaction network formed by the top part of the second transmembrane helix and the cytoplasmic actuator and phosphorylation domains of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase. We have previously found that Y122-HC plays critical roles in the processing of ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme (E2P) after its formation by the isomerization from ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme (E1PCa(2)) (Wang, G., Yamasaki, K., Daiho, T., and Suzuki, H. (2005) J. Biol. Chem. 280, 26508-26516). Here, we further explored kinetic properties of the alanine-substitution mutants of Y122-HC to examine roles of Y122-HC for Ca(2+) release process in E2P. In the steady state, the amount of E2P decreased so that of E1PCa(2) increased with increasing lumenal Ca(2+) concentration in the m
