Abstract excerpt
We used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to detect and quantitate the interaction of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase (SERCA) with phospholamban (PLB) in membranes. PLB inhibits SERCA only at submicromolar Ca. It has been proposed that relief of inhibition at micromolar Ca is due to dissociation of the inhibitory complex. To test this hypothesis, we co-reconstituted donor-labeled SERCA and...
