Using rapid filtration, the authors investigated the kinetics of release toward the lumen of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles of the two Ca{sup 2+} ions transported by the Ca{sup 2+}-dependent ATPase of these vesicles. Release rates at 20C were measured by three methods, with vesicles previously made leaky with an ionophore. First, they measured the rate at which {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} bound to ATPase approached its steady-state level after addition of ATP to the {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+}-equilibrated ATPase. At pH 6 in the absence of potassium, the observed kinetics did not reveal any very fast phase of {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} dissociation from phosphorylated ATPase. Second, they measured the kinetics of {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} dissociation from phosphorylated ATPase in a 'chase' experiment, by isotopic dilution of calcium under turnover conditions in the presence of potassium. They found that these kinetics were essentially monophasic. The third method was based on the fact that phosphorylation-induced {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} occlusion occurred faster than {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} dissociation from nonphosphorylated ATPase: here, they measured the rate of {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} internalization on addition to {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+}-saturated ATPase of an unlabeled ATP-containing medium. This method allowed separate observation of the dissociation kinetics of each of the two {sup 45}Ca{sup 2+} ions bound to phosphorylated ATPase, after either one or the other had been labeled by a preliminary partial isotopic exchange in the nonphosphorylated state of the ATPase. The results suggest that, after sequential binding to the nonphosphorylated ATPase, the two Ca{sup 2+} ions transported by the phosphorylated ATPase become kinetically indistinguishable when they are released toward the lumenal side of the SR vesicles.
