Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutations were produced in the distal segments of the Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) transmembrane region. Mutations of Arg-290 (M3-M4 loop), Lys-958, and Thr-960 (M9 - M10 loop) had minor effects on ATPase activity and Ca(2+) transport. On the other hand, Val-304 (M4) mutations to Ile, Thr, Lys, Ala, or Glu inhibited transport by 90-95% while reducing ATP hydrolysis by 83% (Ile, Thr, and Lys), 56% (Ala), or...
