AbstractCalsequestrin (CASQ) was discovered in rabbit skeletal muscle tissues in 1971 and has been considered simply a passive Ca2+-buffering protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) that provides Ca2+ ions for various Ca2+ signals. For the past three decades, physiologists, biochemists, and structural biologists have examined the roles of the skeletal muscle type of CASQ (CASQ1) in skeletal muscle and revealed that CASQ1 has various important functions as (1) a major Ca2+-buffering protein to maintain the SR with a suitable amount of Ca2+ at each moment, (2) a dynamic Ca2+ sensor in the SR that regulates Ca2+ release from the SR to the cytosol, (3) a structural regulator for the proper formation of terminal cisternae, (4) a reverse-directional regulator of extracellular Ca2+ entries, and (5) a cause of human skeletal muscle diseases. This review is focused on understanding these functions of CASQ1 in the physiological or pathophysiological status of skeletal muscle.

1H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques were used to study the binding of uridine 5′-triphosphate to the Ca2+-transport ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle. The nuclear spin relaxation times determined for the bound nucleotide are used to characterize the rotational motion of the ATPase to which the nucleotide is bound. The results, assuming an anisotropic model for the motion of the ATPase in the membrane, place a low upper limit on the rotational correlation time of the ATPase. This indicates that the motion of the ATPase in the membrane is quite rapid when compared, for example, with the motion found for other membrane-bound proteins such as rhodopsin.
