The major (gene VIII) coat protein of bacteriophage fd was radiolabelled by treating the virus with methyl[3H]acetimidate without causing any loss of infectivity. Complete amidination of lysine-8 in the amino acid sequence of the protein was achieved but little or

The calcium pump of plasma membranes catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP and phosphoric esters like p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP). The latter activity requires the presence of ATP and/or calmodulin, and Ca2+ [22, 25]. We have studied the effects of nucleotide-analogues and

Incubation of purified cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles (SL) in the presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, a methyl donor for the enzymatic N-methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), increased the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase and ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation activities. Quantitative analysis of the methylated phospholipids revealed that maximal
