Cardiac microsomes represent a heterogeneous fraction which contains mitochondrial, plasma membrane and lysosomal enzymes in addition to markers believed to originate in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The exact composition of this fraction depends on the method of preparation in that prolonged homogenization of ventricular myocardium increases both the yield of microsomal protein and the proportion of the mitochondrial contaminant. Ultracentrifugation of cardiac microsomes on density gradients made with sucrose alone is of limited value in isolating fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum. Because of aggregation of the microsomes, zonal ultracentrifugation in sucrose permits isolation of material with only slight enhancement in the activity of markers for the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In the presence of LiBr, used under conditions which inhibit the damaging effects of this salt on the activities studied, aggregation of the microsomal fraction is reduced and density gradient fractionation is more effective. The fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum prepared by zonal centrifugation in 0.5 M LiBr contains less than 1 5 the level of mitochondrial enzymes found in the original microsomes while the rate of Ca 2+ uptake is enhanced 2-fold and the extent of Ca 2+ uptake is enhanced 4-fold over that in the crude microsomal fraction. The sarcoplasmic reticulum markers were concentrated in a region of the gradient containing approx. 5% of the original protein that did not correspond to an obvious protein peak.
