Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump in pig coronary artery smooth muscle is regulated by a novel pathway

Coronary artery smooth muscle expresses an alternative splice (SERCA2b) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ pump gene SERCA2, which is also expressed in cardiac muscle (SERCA2a), but how the activity of this transporter is regulated in the coronary artery is not known. SERCA2a in the cardiac muscle can be regulated via phospholamban or, as recently reported, by a direct phosphorylation of this protein by calmodulin kinase (Xu, A., C. Hawkins, and N. Narayanan. J.Biol. Chem. 268:8394-8397, 1993). Because both SERCA2a and SERCA2b contain this calmodulin kinase phosphorylation site, we examined the effect of endogenous calmodulin kinase phosphorylation of the SR Ca2+ pump in the coronary artery. SR-enriched membranes were isolated from coronary artery smooth muscle and washed in ethylene glycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid to remove bound calmodulin. When these membranes were incubated with MgATP2- in the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin, a 115-kDa protein was phosphorylated. This phosphorylated 115-kDa protein was identified as SERCA2b in Western blots and by immunoprecipitation using a SERCA2-selective antibody. Preincubating the membranes in MgATP2- in the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin stimulated the subsequent Ca2+ uptake in the presence of oxalate plus MgATP2- and azide. The stimulation of Ca2+ uptake was inhibited by including the SR Ca2+ pump inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid in the Ca2+ uptake medium or by including the calmodulin antagonist N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide or the calmodulin kinase II peptide fragment 290-309 in the phosphorylation solution. Thus an endogenous calmodulin-dependent kinase phosphorylated SERCA2b and activated it. Phospholamban could not be detected in these membranes in Western blots. Therefore, the regulation of the SR Ca2+ pump activity in coronary artery smooth muscle may involve a direct phosphorylation of the pump protein by an endogenous calmodulin-dependent kinase.
