Sarcoplasmic reticulum from rat skeletal muscle had rates of calcium oxalate uptake dependent upon the speed with which the muscle was removed and homogenized. Rapidly isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (muscle removed and homogenized within 20 min) showed a 25% increase in rate of calcium oxlate uptake in the presence of 15 mM taurine, and the total sequestering capacity was also increased. The rate of calcium oxalate uptake by more slowly isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (1 h between sacrifice of first animal and homogenization of the muscle) could be increased by 30% by performing the isolation with 10–15 mM taurine present in all media, compared with a paired isolation in the absence of taurine. Exposure of sarcoplasmic reticulum to taurine throughout isolation led to an increased yield of microsomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum. These effects of taurine on sarcoplasmic reticulum were not duplicated by phosphate, isethionate, KCl, cysteine or histidine, but aminopropane-sulfonic acid showed similar effects. Taurine slowed the rate of loss of calcium transport and ATPase activities of sarcoplasmic reticulum caused by phospholipase C. It is suggested that taurine may function as a membrane stabilizer.
