Structural Characterization of Calmodulin Disease Mutations

Structural Characterization of the Interaction of Human Lactoferrin with Calmodulin

Lactoferrin (Lf) is an 80 kDa, iron (Fe(3+))-binding immunoregulatory glycoprotein secreted into most exocrine fluids, found in high concentrations in colostrum and milk, and released from neutrophil secondary granules at sites of infection and inflammation. In a number of cell types, Lf is internalized through receptor-mediated endocytosis and targeted to the nucleus where it has been demonstr...

Characterization of calmodulin and calmodulin isotypes from sea urchin gametes.

Procedures were developed for the purification of calmodulin from the eggs and from the sperm of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus and Arbacia punctulata. Two forms of calmodulin were isolated from A. punctulata eggs, one from each of the other three sources. All five calmodulins are similar to vertebrate calmodulin as judged by their activation of bovine brain cyclic nucleotide phos...

Molecular pathogenesis of a disease: structural consequences of aspartylglucosaminuria mutations.

A deficiency of functional aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA) causes a lysosomal storage disease, aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU). The recessively inherited disease is enriched in the Finnish population, where 98% of AGU alleles contain one founder mutation, AGU(Fin). Elsewhere in the world, we and others have described 18 different sporadic AGU mutations. Many of these are predicted to interfere with ...
