N2 - Thapsigargin is a highly potent and selective inhibitor of sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (SERCA) family of Ca2+-ATPases and a useful tool in research concerning the function of intracellular Ca2+ stores. We describe here a novel fluorescent derivative (8-O-(4-aminocinnamoyl)-8-O-debutanoylthapsigargin, termed ACTA) of this compound, acting as a Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor with a potency approaching that of thapsigargin. Binding of ACTA to the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles results in a strong fluorescence enhancement, approximately 66% of which depends on ACTA association with Ca2+-ATPase. This specific component of ACTA fluorescence is sensitive to the E1-E2 conformational equilibrium of the pump. The combined properties of high potency and binding-dependent fluorescence suggest ACTA to be a useful probe for a range of studies involving the SERCA class of ATPases.
