MCCOLLUM, WILLIAM B., HR BESCH, JR., MARK L. ENTMAN, AND ARNOLD SCHWARTZ. Apparent initial binding rate of calcium by canine cardiac-relaxing system. Am. J. Physiol. 223 (3): 608-614. 1972-A stopped-flow spectrophotometric method was employed to measure initial calcium-binding rates (presteady state) by a vesicular fraction from canine cardiac tissue. The vesicles probably represent elements of sarcoplasmic reticulum and, hence, are involved in muscle relaxation. The procedure for isolation of the relaxing system was refined so that the preparation bound 60-90 nmoles of calcium(dependent on ATP) per milligram protein at 25 C. Fresh preparations bound a minimum of 130 pmoles calcium per milligram protein per millisecond. The amount of binding in 200 msec was 15.5 nmoles/mg protein or approximately 100 nmoles calcium per gram wet weight cardiac muscle at 37 C. The binding capacity and the rate of calcium binding are consistent with the postulated role of this vesicular fraction in cardiac muscle relaxation. stopped-flow; murexide; sarcoplasmic reticulum; relaxationTHE PROBABLE central role of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) in active relaxation of functioning myocardium is now well established (1, 3-6, 11, 17, 18, 22). The relaxing system (CRS), l consisting of vesicles derived mainly from the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, has the capacity to bind calcium in an amount necessary to effect relaxation of fully activated fibers (4, 5, 9, 18, 22). Relaxation is essentially complete in approximately 200 msec (at 25 C) in canine myocardium in vivo (9-l 1). For calcium binding by CRS to be consistent with its presumed physiological role of muscle relaxation, the amount of binding must be of sufficient magnitude within this period of time.
