The intrinsic fluorescence of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was measured under conditions allowing ATPase phosphorylation from inorganic phosphate. Significant fluorescence enhancement of up to 4% resulted from gradient-independent enzyme phosphorylation at pH 6, in the absence of KCl. The equilibrium fluorescence data obtained at various magnesium and phosphate concentrations agree with a reaction scheme in which Mg2+, as direct activator, and free phosphate, as the true substrate, bind to the enzyme in random order to give a noncovalent ternary complex (Mg.*E.Pi), in equilibrium with the covalent phosphoenzyme (Mg.*E-P). The transient kinetics of the fluorescence rise was also studied, and the resulting data were generally consistent with the above scheme, assuming that binding reactions are fast compared to covalent phosphoenzyme formation. This, however, might be valid only as a first approximation. At 20 degrees C and pH 6, the phosphate concentration for half-maximum phosphorylation rate constant, at 20 mM magnesium, was higher than 20 mM. Similarly, the magnesium concentration for half-maximum phosphorylation rate constant, at 20 mM phosphate, was also higher than 20 mM. The maximum phosphorylation rate was faster than 25 s-1, and the phosphoenzyme hydrolysis rate constant was 1.5-2 s-1 under these conditions, so that the equilibrium constant between Mg.*E.Pi and Mg.*E-P largely favors the phosphoenzyme.
