Sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle was labeled with a limited (0.625 nmol/mg sarcoplasmic reticulum protein) amount of the fluorescent thiol reagent N-(7-dimethylamino-4-methyl-3-coumarinyl)maleimide (DACM). The fluorescence intensity of the membrane-attached DACM decreased concurrently with (Ca2+ and caffeine)-induced Ca2+ release, depolarization-induced Ca2+ release and Ca2+-dependent dependent passive efflux of Ca2+. The decreased DACM fluorescence level initiated by a Ca2+ jump was subsequently reversed under passive efflux conditions when there was no ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake, suggesting spontaneous closing of the channels. Therefore, the higher fluorescence level corresponds to a larger population of closed channels, whereas the lower level represents a larger population of opened channels. Under conditions when the Ca2+ release-coupled fluorescence change was maximal, a stoichiometric incorporation of DACM took place only into a 32-kDa protein. Furthermore, reconstituted vesicles, in which purified DACM-labeled 32-kDa protein was incorporated into unlabeled sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, were capable of both (Ca2+ and caffeine)-induced Ca2+ release and the release-coupled DACM fluorescence change. These results suggest that the 32-kDa protein is a constituent of the Ca2+ release channel or a protein which is in close contact with the channel.
