Cyclopiazonic acid reduces the coupling factor of the Ca2+-ATPase acting on Ca2+ binding.
FEBS Letters 2004 October 9
The mycotoxin cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is a potent inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. The compound decreases the affinity of the Ca2+-ATPase for Ca2+ and reduces the maximum specific activity of the enzyme. Furthermore, CPA abolishes the cooperativity of Ca2+ transport, showing a Ca2+/ATP ratio approximately 1 at any extent of Ca2+ saturation. There is also an effect on the Ca2+-binding mechanism, where the addition of CPA results in binding of only half-maximal amount of Ca2+ observed in its absence. The experimental data suggest that in the presence of CPA, only a single Ca2+ ion binds to the Ca2+-ATPase.
