THE CALCIUM BINDING SITES OF THE BAKERS' YEAST TRANSKETOLASE
The calcium binding sites of Bakers' Yeast Transketolase (TK) was elucidated by estimating the pKa values of the functional groups that bind to calcium. These pKa's were found to be 6.25 and 7.2 relating to the pKa's of the two immidazol moieties of histidine residues on the enzyme. The rate of the binding of calcium to the enzyme was obtained separately as a function of pH. Maximum values ...
متن کاملCompetition of zinc, cadmium and calcium for binding sites in sperm of trout and carp
Heavy metal pollutions of aquatic ecosystems have already raised many concerns on aquaticorganisms’health and survival especially on their sperm. The effects of a single metal on sperm may be totallydifferent from cocktail of several metals because of their interactions, so the effects of zinc, cadmium andcalcium on the trout and carp sperms and their competition have been examined by incubatio...
متن کاملA comprehensive search for calcium binding sites critical for TMEM16A calcium-activated chloride channel activity
TMEM16A forms calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) that regulate physiological processes such as the secretions of airway epithelia and exocrine glands, the contraction of smooth muscles, and the excitability of neurons. Notwithstanding intense interest in the mechanism behind TMEM16A-CaCC calcium-dependent gating, comprehensive surveys to identify and characterize potential calcium sens...
متن کاملEffects of L-type Calcium Channel Antagonists Verapamil and Diltiazem on fKv1.4ΔN Currents in Xenopus oocytes
The goal of this study was to determine the effects of the L-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fKv1.4ΔN), an N-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret Kv1.4 potassium channel. Measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in Xenopus oocytes. The fKv1.4ΔN currents displayed...
متن کاملThe Antiiflammtory Activity of calcium-channel antagonists on chronic inflammation in rat
calcium mobilization is known to be an important factor in the activation of cells involved in inflammation,so,calcium-channel antagonists are be expected ti exhibit antiinflammatory activity.in the present study,we evaluateted the antiinflammatory effects of two calcium channel blockers,verapamil and nifedipine on adjuvant induced chronic in flammation in rat paw.sixty adult male rats were div...
