We have examined the oxidative sensitivity of theCa2+-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmicreticulum (SR) membranes, exposing isolated SR membranes to thethermolabile water soluble free radicalinitiator, 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH).Incubation with up to 702 ges/entities/mgr.gif">M AAPH-derived radicals results in a concentration- and time-dependentinhibition of calcium-dependent ATPaseactivity correlating with the loss of monomericCa2+-ATPase polypeptides, and the concomitantappearanceof higher molecular weight species. However, no oxidant-inducedprotein fragmentation is detected. Theobserved formation of oxidant-induced bityrosine accounts for theintermolecular Ca2+-ATPase cross-links, as well as intramolecular cross-links. The oxidation ofsulfhydryl groups to disulfides as anotherpossible source of intermolecular cross-links has been ruled out afterexamination of SDS-PAGE performedunder both reducing and non-reducing conditions. Exposure of theSR membranes to AAPH-derivedradical species results in a small degree of lipid peroxidation that isnot correlated with enzyme inactivation,suggesting that modification of membrane-spanning peptides is notrelated to enzyme inactivation. Sixcytoplasmic peptides have been identified that are modified by exposureto AAPH or, alternatively, tohydrogen peroxide, suggesting that these regions of theCa2+-ATPase are generally sensitive tooxidants.These oxidized peptides were identified after separation byreversed-phase HPLC followed by N-terminalsequencing and amino acid analysis as corresponding to the followingsequences of the Ca2+-ATPase:(i) Glu121 to Lys128, (ii) His190to Lys218, (iii) Asn330 to Lys352,(iv) Gly432 to Lys436, (v) Glu551to Arg604,and (vi) Glu657 to Arg671. TheGlu551 to Arg604 peptide, located within thenucleotide binding domain,was found to participate in the formation of intermolecular bityrosinecross-links with the identical Glu551to Arg604 peptide from a neighboringCa2+-ATPase polypeptide chain.
