Abstract

The disaccharides trehalose and sucrose, and to a lesser extent the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, decrease the apparent Kmof the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum for Pi. This effect is more pronounced at pH 7.4 than at pH 6.2. The enzyme is not phosphorylated by Pi when the temperature of the medium is decreased to 0 °C, but when 1.5 m trehaloseor sucrose is present phosphoenzyme formation increases to 0.5 μmol E-P/g protein.
