Temperature effect on changes in calcium ion transport and activity of Ca-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles (SRV) was studied. Several temperature intervals of the change of SRV functional activity parameters were found: 8-12 degrees C-beginning of accumulation of SRV Ca2+, 12-19 degrees sharp activation of Ca2+ accumulation, 27-32 degrees-activation of passive yield, 36-43 degrees-reversible change of the activity of the accumulation system and activation of Ca yield, 48 degrees and higher--irreversible denaturation of transport Ca-ATPase. Coincidence of temperature intervals of SRV structural reconstructions, detected by means of fluorescent probes and functional changes points to a close relationship between structural reconstructions and functional responses of biological membranes.
