The Ca2+-ATPase activity in microsomes of rat submandibular gland was inhibited by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate in vitro. 2. The dissociation constant of the enzyme-pyridoxal 5'-phosphate complex was estimated to be 6.5 mM. 3. The inhibition of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate for both ATP and Ca2+ was competitive. 4. The order of inhibitory effectiveness of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate analogs was pyridoxal 5'-phosphate greater than pyridoxal HCl greater than pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate greater than pyridoxamine HCl. 5. The enzyme-pyridoxal 5'-phosphate complex was nonreducible with sodium borohydride.
