Incubation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in the presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, a methyl donor for the enzymatic N-methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine, increased Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity. The increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity was not due to changes in the affinity for Ca2+ and
