Myotoxin a is a muscle-damaging toxin isolated from the venom of Crotalus viridis viridis. Its interaction with the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles purified from rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated. Myotoxin a inhibited Ca2+ loading and stimulated Ca2+-dependent ATPase without affecting unidirectional Ca2+ efflux. Its action was dose, time, and temperature dependent. Myotoxin a partially blocked the binding of specific anti-(rabbit SR Ca2+-ATPase) antibodies. It is concluded that myotoxin a attaches to the SR Ca2+-ATPase and uncouples Ca2+ uptake from Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis. Myotoxin a also prevented the formation of decavanadate-induced two-dimensional crystalline arrays of the SR Ca2+-ATPase.
