Q

Mechanism of SERCA

A
  1. Ca2+ binds to transmembrane (M) domain and ATP bind to nucleotide (N) domain
  2. Phosphoric group transferred to Asp351 residue in P domain (requires Mg2+)
  3. Ca2+ released from lumen
  4. Activator (A) domain moves, ADP released
  5. P domain dephosphorylated
  6. A domain returns to original, releases Mg2+
  7. P and M domain resets
