EF-hand calcium-binding proteins.
The EF-hand motif is the most common calcium-binding motif found in proteins. Several high-resolution structures containing different metal ions bound to EF-hand sites have given new insight into the modulation of their binding affinities. Recently determined structures of members of several newly identified protein families that contain the EF-hand motif in some of their domains, as well as of...
متن کاملA genome-wide screen for site-specific DNA-binding proteins.
We used a biochemical genomics method of assaying Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins, derived from a nearly complete set of glutathione S-transferase fusions, to develop an approach that is able to identify proteins that bind to a DNA element. Using the upstream activation sequence (UAS) of the promoter for the invertase gene, SUC2, we identified both specific and nonspecific binding activities,...
متن کاملA regulatory calcium-binding site for calcium channel in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Loading isolated rat hepatocytes with high concentrations of the fluorescent Ca2+-chelator quin-2 in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ decreases by about 3-fold the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). In these low [Ca2+]i cells, the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate, assumed to represent the Ca2+ influx, is stimulated to a level close to that promoted by maximal doses of vasopressin and angiotensi...
متن کاملA binding-site model for calcium channel inactivation that depends on calcium entry.
We describe a model for the mechanism by which Ca channel inactivation might depend on calcium entry. Ca is assumed to bind to a site at the internal membrane surface to cause inactivation of Ca channels. We assume that Ca that enters through the membrane accumulates in a submembrane compartment and also make simplifying assumptions about Ca buffering and removal. Our model predicts the results...
