Annexin VI (AnxVI) from porcine liver, a member of the annexin family of Ca(2+)- and membrane-binding proteins, has been shown to bind ATP in vitro with a K(d) in the low micromolar concentration range. However, this protein does not contain within its primary structure any ATP-binding consensus motifs found in other nucleotide-binding proteins. In addition, binding of ATP to AnxVI resulted in modulation of AnxVI function, which was accompanied by changes in AnxVI affinity to Ca2+ in the presence of ATP. Using limited proteolytic digestion, purification of protein fragments by affinity chromatography on ATP-agarose, and direct sequencing, the ATP-binding site of AnxVI was located in a C-terminal half of the AnxVI molecule. To further study AnxVI-nucleotide interaction we have employed a functional nucleotide analog, Cibacron blue 3GA (CB3GA), a triazine dye which is commonly used to purify multiple ATP-binding proteins and has been described to modulate their activities. We have observed that AnxVI binds to CB3GA immobilized on agarose in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Binding is reversed by EGTA and by ATP and, to a lower extent, by other adenine nucleotides. CB3GA binds to AnxVI also in solution, evoking reversible aggregation of protein molecules, which resembles self-association of AnxVI molecules either in solution or on a membrane surface. Our observations support earlier findings that AnxVI is an ATP-binding protein. 相似文献

Porcine liver annexin VI (AnxVI) of Mr 68.000 is an ATP-binding protein as evidenced by specific and saturable UV-dependent labelling with 8-azido-[-32P]ATP or the fluorescent analog of ATP, 2-(or 3)-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine triphosphate and by binding of AnxVI to ATP-agarose. These characteristics of purified AnxVI were used to identify and characterize preliminary nucleotide-binding domain of the protein. AnxVI labelled with 8-azido-ATP was subjected to limited proteolysis and the proteolytic fragments of AnxVI that retained the covalently-bound nucleotide were separated by means of gel electrophoresis and visualized by exposure of the gel to a phosphor storage screen. It was found that the AnxVI proteolytic fragments of M

Structural changes induced by nucleotide binding to porcine liver annexin VI (AnxVI) were probed by reaction-induced difference spectroscopy (RIDS). Photorelease of the nucleotide from ATP[Et(PhNO2)] produced RIDS of AnxVI characterized by reproducible changes in the amide I region. The magnitude of the infrared change was comparable to RIDS of other ATP-binding proteins, such as Ca(2+)-ATPase and creatine and arginine kinases. Analysis of RIDS revealed the existence of ATP-binding site(s) (K(d) < 1 microM) within the AnxVI molecule, comprising five to six amino acid residues located in the C-terminal portion of the protein molecule. The binding stoichiometry of ATP:AnxVI was determined as 1:1 (mol/mol). ATP, in the presence of Ca2+, induced changes in protein secondary structure reflected by a 5% decrease in alpha-helix content of the protein in favor of unordered structure. Such changes may influence the affinity of AnxVI for Ca2+ and modulate its interaction with membranes. 相似文献

Annexin VI (AnxVI), a member of the annexin family of Ca2+- and membrane-binding proteins, has been shown to interact in vitro with adenine nucleotides. Furthermore, it has been proposed that within the AnxVI molecule a nucleotidde-binding domain exists, which is located in the C-terminal half of the protein, in the vicinity of Trp343. By comparison of exposure of tryptophan and multiple tyrosine residues upon nucleotide binding, as revealed by quenching of intrinsic fluorescence of AnxVI by ATP, ADP or cAMP, it can be concluded that the binding of nucleotides evokes changes in the protein tertiary structure. Moreover, in the course of present study we have found that AnxVI binds to a non-hydrolysable analog of ATP, the triazine dye Cibacron blue 3GA (CB3GA), immobilized on agarose. Binding reveals negative cooperativity with respect to protein concentration and is Ca2+-dependent. Binding is prevented by ATP. CB3GA binds to AnxVI also in solution, evoking the formation of annexin multimers. On the basis of this observation it can be suggested that interaction of CB3GA with AnxVI is useful to examine, with some limitations, the self-association of annexin molecules implying to play a role in interacting of AnxVI with biological membranes. 相似文献

Annexin VI (AnxVI) formed ion channels in planar lipid bilayers that were induced by the addition of millimolar guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) at pH 7.4 and that were not accompanied by a penetration of the protein into the membrane hydrophobic region. GTP-influenced interactions of AnxVI with Ca2+/liposomes produced small structural alterations as revealed by circular dichroism and infrared spectroscopies. Guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)-triphosphate (GTPgammaS) binding to AnxVI, promoted by the photorelease of GTPgammaS from GTPgammaS[1-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-ethyl] (caged-GTPgammaS), affected three to four amino acid residues of AnxVI in the presence of Ca2+/liposomes, while about eight or nine amino acid residues were altered in their absence. This suggested that the nucleotide-binding site overlapped the lipid-binding domain of AnxVI. The binding of the fluorescent GTP analog, 2'-(or 3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)guanosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-GTP) to AnxVI was optimal in the presence of Ca2+/liposomes, with a dissociation constant (K(d)) of 1 microM and stoichiometry of 1. TNP-GTP promoted fluorescence resonance energy transfer from tryptophan residues to the nucleotide. Ion conductance and fluorescence measurements of the C- and N-terminal fragments of AnxVI indicated distinct GTP-binding properties, suggesting that the existence of the GTP-induced ion channel activity of AnxVI is associated with the flexibility of the two halves of the protein. Such structural flexibility could contribute to a molecular mechanism of AnxVI acting as a GTP biosensor. 相似文献

Annexin VI (AnxVI) of molecular mass 68-70 kDa belongs to a multigenic family of ubiquitous Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding proteins. In this report, we describe the GTP-binding properties of porcine liver AnxVI, determined with a fluorescent GTP analogue, 2'-(or 3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)guanosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-GTP). The optimal binding of TNP-GTP to AnxVI was observed in the presence of Ca2+ and asolectin liposomes, as evidenced by a 5.5-fold increase of TNP-GTP fluorescence and a concomitant blue shift (by 17 nm) of its maximal emission wavelength. Titration of AnxVI with TNP-GTP resulted in the determination of the dissociation constant (Kd) and binding stoichiometry that amounted to 1.3 microM and 1:1 TNP-GTP/AnxVI, mole/mole, respectively. In addition, the intrinsic fluorescence of the membrane-bound form of AnxVI was quenched by TNP-GTP and this was accompanied by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from AnxVI Trp residues to TNP-GTP. This indicates that the GTP-binding site within the AnxVI molecule is probably located in the vicinity of a Trp-containing domain of the protein. By controlled proteolysis of human recombinant AnxVI, followed by purification of the proteolytic fragments by affinity chromatography on GTP-agarose, we isolated a 35 kDa fragment corresponding to the N-terminal half of AnxVI containing Trp192. On the basis of these results, we suggest that AnxVI is a GTP-binding protein and the binding of the nucleotide may have a regulatory impact on the interaction of annexin with membranes, e.g. formation of ion channels by the protein. 相似文献

Annexins are a family of membrane binding proteins that are characterized by a hypervariable amino terminus followed by a series of highly conserved Ca2+-phospholipid binding domains. Annexins function by binding to anionic phospholipid surfaces in a Ca2+-dependent manner. They self-associate to form trimers which further assemble into sheets that cover the membrane surface and alter properties such as fluidity and permeability. This submembranous skeleton alters integral protein functions such as ion transport properties and shields the surface from phospholipid binding proteins such as phospholipases and protein kinase C. Transgenic mouse hearts overexpressing wild type annexin VI (AnxVI673), a dominant-negative truncated annexin VI (residues 1-129, Anx129) and an annexin VI-null mouse (AnxVI-/-) have implicated the protein as a regulator of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis which affects cardiac function. 相似文献

Curcumin is a compound derived from the spice, tumeric. It is a potent inhibitor of the SERCA Ca2+ pumps (all isoforms), inhibiting Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity with IC50 values of between 7 and 15 microm. It also inhibits ATP-dependent Ca2+-uptake in a variety of microsomal membranes, although for cerebellar and platelet microsomes, a stimulation in Ca2+ uptake is observed at low curcumin concentrations (<10 microm). For the skeletal muscle isoform of the Ca2+ pump (SERCA1), the inhibition of curcumin is noncompetitive with respect to Ca2+, and competitive with respect to ATP at high curcumin concentrations ( approximately 10-25 microm). This was confirmed by ATP binding studies that showed inhibition in the presence of curcumin: ATP-dependent phosphorylation was also reduced. Experiments with fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled ATPase also suggest that curcumin stabilizes the E1 conformational state. The fact that FITC labels the nucleotide binding site of the ATPase (precluding ATP from binding), and the fact that curcumin affects FITC fluorescence indicate that curcumin must be binding to another site within the ATPase that induces a conformational change to prevent ATP from binding. This observation is interpreted, with the aid of recent structural information, as curcumin stabilizing the interaction between the nucleotide-binding and phosphorylation domains, precluding ATP binding. 相似文献

A 50% decrease in both the initial rate and the total capacity of Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) occurred 2 days after the onset of chronic (10 Hz) nerve stimulation in rabbit fast-twitch muscle. Prolonged stimulation (up to 28 days) did not lead to further decreases. This reduction, which was detected in muscle homogenates using a Ca2+-sensitive electrode, was reversible after 6 days cessation of stimulation and was not accompanied by changes in the immunochemically (ELISA) determined tissue level or isozyme characteristics of the SR Ca2+-ATPase protein. However, as measured in isolated SR, it correlated with a reduced specific activity of the Ca2+-ATPase. Kinetic analyses demonstrated that affinities of the SR Ca2+-ATPase towards Ca2+ and ATP were unaltered. Positive cooperativity for Ca2+ binding (h = 1.5) was maintained. However, a 50% decrease in Ca2+-dependent phosphoprotein formation indicated the presence of inactive forms of Ca2+-ATPase in stimulated muscle. The reduced phosphorylation of the enzyme was accompanied by an approximately 50% lowered binding of fluorescein isothiocyanate, a competitor at the ATP-binding site. In view of the unaltered affinity for ATP, this finding suggests that active Ca2+-ATPase molecules coexist in stimulated muscle with inactive enzyme molecules, the latter displaying altered properties at the nucleotide-binding site. 相似文献

Human recombinant annexin VI (AnxVI) or its N- (AnxVIA) and C-terminal (AnxVIB) fragments were expressed in E. coli. Their ability to form voltage-dependent ion channels in membranes, induced by low pH, was measured to verify the hypothesis that, upon acidification, the hydrophobicity of AnxVI at a specific domain significantly increases allowing the AnxVI interaction with lipids in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. By theoretically analyzing changes in protein hydrophobicity, we found that hydrophobicity of AnxVIA significantly differed from that of AnxVIB at low pH. These predictions were confirmed experimentally by using planar lipid bilayers and liposome pull-down assay. We found striking difference between AnxVIA and AnxVIB in the ion channel activity, as well as in the membrane binding, suggesting that the halves of AnxVI maybe functionally different. Moreover, we calculated and predicted that the ion channel activity at low pH should appear in other human annexins, as AnxII, AnxV (as known), AnxVIII, and AnxXIII. The possibility that AnxVI acts as cytosolic component of a transmembrane pH-sensing mechanism is proposed. 相似文献

The molecular chaperone Hsp104 is an AAA+ ATPase (ATPase associated with a variety of cellular activities) from yeast that catalyzes protein disaggregation. Using mutagenesis, we impaired nucleotide binding or hydrolysis in the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBD) of Hsp104 and analyzed the consequences for chaperone function by monitoring ATP hydrolysis, polypeptide binding, polypeptide processing, and disaggregation. Our results reveal that ATP binding to NBD1 serves as a central regulatory switch for the chaperone; it triggers binding of polypeptides, and stimulates ATP hydrolysis in the C-terminal NBD2 by more than two orders of magnitude, implying that ATP hydrolysis in this domain is important for disaggregation. Moreover, we show that Hsp104 actively unfolds its polypeptide substrates during processing, demonstrating that AAA+ proteins involved in disaggregation share a common threading mechanism with AAA+ proteins mediating protein unfolding/degradation. 相似文献

The affinity of a major Ca2+ binding site on GRP78 is differentially enhanced by ADP and ATP 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

GRP78 is a major protein regulated by the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum stress response, and up-regulation has been shown to be important in protecting cells from challenge with cytotoxic agents. GRP78 has ATPase activity, acts as a chaperone, and interacts specifically with other proteins, such as caspases, as part of a mechanism regulating apoptosis. GRP78 is also reported to have a possible role as a Ca2+ storage protein. In order to understand the potential biological effects of Ca2+ and ATP/ADP binding on the biology of GRP78, we have determined its ligand binding properties. We show here for the first time that GRP78 can bind Ca2+, ATP, and ADP, each with a 1:1 stoichiometry, and that the binding of cation and nucleotide is cooperative. These observations do not support the hypothesis that GRP78 is a dynamic Ca2+ storage protein. Furthermore, we demonstrate that whereas Mg2+ enhances GRP78 binding to ADP and ATP to the same extent, Ca2+ shows a differential enhancement. In the presence of Ca2+, the KD for ATP is lowered approximately 11-fold, and the KD for ADP is lowered around 930-fold. The KD for Ca2+ is lowered approximately 40-fold in the presence of ATP and around 880-fold with ADP. These findings may explain the biological requirement for a nucleotide exchange factor to remove ADP from GRP78. Taken together, our data suggest that the Ca2+-binding property of GRP78 may be part of a signal transduction pathway that modulates complex interactions between GRP78, ATP/ADP, secretory proteins, and caspases, and this ultimately has important consequences for cell viability. 相似文献

Gelsolin is a Ca(2+)-regulated actin-modulating protein found in a variety of cellular cytoplasm and also in blood plasma. Affinity separation of human plasma gelsolin was successfully accomplished by eluting the protein with a low concentration of nucleoside polyphosphate from immobilized Cibacron Blue F3GA (1, 2). This finding was followed by the demonstration that the protein had one class of ATP binding site with Kd = 2.8 x 10(-7) M, which saturated at an ATP/gelsolin ratio of 0.6 in the absence of Ca2+ (3). To obtain further information on the nucleotide binding properties of gelsolin, binding studies were done in the presence of EGTA with GTP, ADP, and GDP by equilibrium dialysis. Incubation of plasma gelsolin with GTP resulted in binding of 0.6 mol of GTP per mol of protein with a dissociation constant of 1.8 x 10(-6) M, indicating that ATP binds to gelsolin with higher affinity than GTP. Neither ADP nor GDP at up to 100 microM appreciably bound to gelsolin at a physiological salt concentration. Then, the effects of divalent metal ions on the ATP binding to plasma gelsolin were examined. Gelsolin bound to ATP with Kd = 2.4 x 10(-6) M in a solution containing 2 mM MgCl2, whereas micromolar free Ca2+ concentrations inhibited ATP binding. Furthermore, addition of Ca2+ rapidly reversed the preformed nucleotide binding to gelsolin, suggesting that Ca2+ binding to gelsolin leads to a conformational change which disrupts a nucleotide binding fold in the protein molecule. 相似文献

2-N3-SL-ATP [2-azido-2',3'-O-(1-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-carbonyl-pyrroline) adenosine triphosphate], a photoaffinity spin-labeled derivative of ATP with a nitroxide moiety attached to the ribose ring and an azido group attached to C2 of the adenine ring, was used to study the nucleotide-binding site stoichiometry of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase. The label was shown to bind at the catalytic site of the enzyme, even though the rate of hydrolysis was poor. A maximal binding ratio of 1 mol/mol of ATPase was found. The ESR spectra showed signals from spin-spin interactions between two radicals corresponding to a distance of about 15 A between labels bound to adjacent sites on the enzyme. This indicates that the minimal functional unit of the Ca2+-ATPase is a dimer with the nucleotide-binding sites in close proximity. 相似文献

The plasma membrane calcium-ATPase (PMCA) helps to control cytosolic calcium levels by pumping out excess Ca2+. PMCA is regulated by the Ca2+ signaling protein calmodulin (CaM), which stimulates PMCA activity by binding to an autoinhibitory domain of PMCA. We used single-molecule polarization methods to investigate the mechanism of regulation of the PMCA by CaM fluorescently labeled with tetramethylrhodamine. The orientational mobility of PMCA-CaM complexes was determined from the extent of modulation of single-molecule fluorescence upon excitation with a rotating polarization. At a high Ca2+ concentration, the distribution of modulation depths reveals that CaM bound to PMCA is orientationally mobile, as expected for a dissociated autoinhibitory domain of PMCA. In contrast, at a reduced Ca2+ concentration a population of PMCA-CaM complexes appears with significantly reduced orientational mobility. This population can be attributed to PMCA-CaM complexes in which the autoinhibitory domain is not dissociated, and thus the PMCA is inactive. The presence of these complexes demonstrates the inadequacy of a two-state model of Ca2+ pump activation and suggests a regulatory role for the low-mobility state of the complex. When ATP is present, only the high-mobility state is detected, revealing an altered interaction between the autoinhibitory and nucleotide-binding domains. 相似文献

Catalytic and regulatory binding sites for ATP on the red cell Ca2+ pump have been investigated using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). Both (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity and ATP-dependent Ca2+ flux are selectively and irreversibly inactivated by FITC and the pump is protected from FITC by the presence of ATP. The time course of inactivation by FITC is characteristically biphasic. Analysis of the kinetics of inactivation by FITC and protection by ATP reveals the participation of both high and low affinity binding sites for ATP and FITC. The sites binding ATP or reacting with FITC do not, however, appear to co-exist on the same enzyme molecules. Thus, "flip-flop" mechanisms for (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, involving negative interactions between high and low affinity ATP sites, are considered unlikely. The two affinities for ATP are most simply explained by assuming that the Ca2+ pump protein exists in alternative conformational forms, E1 having a high affinity for ATP and E2 having a low affinity for ATP. Ca2+ pumping and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase involve interconversion between these forms. It is suggested that regulation of Ca2+ pump activity by Mg-ATP reflects acceleration of the conformational transition between the E1 and E2 forms, as well as a previously described acceleration of phosphoenzyme hydrolysis (Muallem, S., and Karlish, S. J. D. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 647, 73-86; Garrahan, P. J., and Rega, A. F. (1978) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 513, 59-65). 相似文献

Ca2+ binding to chromaffin vesicle matrix proteins: effect of pH, Mg2+, and ionic strength 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Recently we found that Ca2+ within chromaffin vesicles is largely bound [Bulenda, D., & Gratzl, M. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 7760-7765]. In order to explore the nature of these bonds, we analyzed the binding of Ca2+ to the vesicle matrix proteins as well as to ATP, the main nucleotide present in these vesicles. The dissociation constant at pH 7 is 50 microM (number of binding sites, n = 180 nmol/mg of protein) for Ca2+-protein bonds and 15 microM (n = 0.8 mumol/mumol) for Ca2+-ATP bonds. When the pH is decreased to more physiological values (pH 6), the number of binding sites remains the same. However, the affinity of Ca2+ for the proteins decreases much less than its affinity for ATP (dissociation constant of 90 vs. 70 microM). At pH 6 monovalent cations (30-50 mM) as well as Mg2+ (0.1-0.5 mM), which are also present within chromaffin vesicles, do not affect the number of binding sites for Ca2+ but cause a decrease in the affinity of Ca2+ for both proteins and ATP. For Ca2+ binding to ATP in the presence of 0.5 mM Mg2+ we found a dissociation constant of 340 microM and after addition of 35 mM K+ a dissociation constant of 170 microM. Ca2+ binding to the chromaffin vesicle matrix proteins in the presence of 0.5 mM Mg2+ is characterized by a Kd of 240 microM and after addition of 15 mM Na+ by a Kd of 340 microM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Protein kinase C negatively modulated by phorbol ester 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Pretreatment of protein kinase C with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and phospholipid resulted in complete inhibition of ATP/phosphotransferase activity, irreversibly. The inactivation by TPA required the phospholipid, and TPA alone did not cause inactivation. Ca2+ and diacylglycerol mimicked TPA. This action of TPA was not general for all protein kinases as it did not accelerate the inactivation of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase by phospholipid. The addition of MgATP to the reaction mixture completely protected protein kinase C from being inactivated by TPA, in the presence of phospholipid. The nucleotide-binding site of the enzyme was probably influenced by the binding of TPA and phospholipid. 相似文献

In order to obtain a better understanding of the mechanism of the function of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR), we examined the binding of beta,gamma-methylene [3H]adenosine triphosphate (AMPOPCP), an unhydrolyzable ATP analogue, and 45Ca to FSR from bullfrog skeletal muscle. In medium containing 100 mM KCl and 20 mM Tris-maleate (pH 6.80) on ice, FSR has a single class of [3H]AMPOPCP-binding sites which amount to 4.4-8.6 nmol/mg protein (usually about 7 nmol/mg protein). The affinity was in the range of 6.2-12.3 X 10(3) M-1 in the absence of Ca2+. Ca2+ increased the affinity for AMPOPCP without changing the total number of binding sites, whereas Mg2+ decreased it. The change of the affinity is due to the direct effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on FSR. The possibility that Mg-AMPOPCP, Ca-AMPOPCP, and free AMPOPCP might have different affinities to FSR is excluded. The extent of Ca2+-induced enhancement in AMPOPCP binding is dependent not only on Ca2+ concentration but also on the concentration of AMPOPCP. The binding sites for AMPOPCP are likely to be the ATP-binding sites on Ca2+-ATPase protein on the basis of several lines of evidence, including competition between ATP, ADP, or AMP. FSR also binds 7-13 nmol Ca/mg protein (usually about 8 nmol/mg protein) with the affinity of 4-14 X 10(4) M-1 in the absence of the nucleotide in a similar medium containing 4 mM MgCl2. The ratio of Ca-binding sites to AMPOPCP-binding sites is mostly 1, but occasionally 2, corresponding to the ratio of Ca accumulated to ATP hydrolyzed by frog FSR. In the presence of a sufficient amount of the nucleotide, the affinity for Ca2+ was also increased. These findings are well explained by the random sequence binding model of Ca2+ and AMPOPCP, which bind to FSR with positive cooperative interaction between them. However, high concentrations of the nucleotide result in a negative cooperative interaction in the nucleotide binding in the presence of Ca2+, whereas no cooperativity is observed in the absence of Ca2+. Stimulation of Ca binding by AMPOPCP is also correspondingly affected. Comparative studies show that rabbit skeletal muscle FSR, in contrast to the frog one, shows negative cooperativity in its interactions with Ca2+ and AMPOPCP under some conditions and that the ratio of Ca-binding sites to AMPOPCP-binding sites is 2, corresponding to the well-known stoichiometry with ATP. 相似文献

Nd3+ binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was detected by inhibition of ATPase activity and directly by a fluorimetric assay. Both methods indicated that Nd3+ inhibited the ATPase activity by binding in the high-affinity Ca2+ binding sites. The stoichiometry of binding was about 11 nmol of Nd3+ bound per mg of SR proteins at pNd = 6.5. At higher [Nd3+], substantial nonspecific binding occurred. The association constant for Nd3+ binding to the high-affinity Ca2+ binding sites was estimated to be near 2 X 10(9) M-1. When the CaATPase was inactivated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), 5.3 nmol were bound per mg of SR protein. This fluorescent probe is known to bind in the ATP binding site. The stoichiometry of Nd3+ binding to FITC-labeled CaATPase was the same, within experimental error, as to the unlabeled CaATPase. Fluorescence energy transfer between FITC in the ATP site and Nd3+ in the Ca2+ sites was found to be very small. This donor-acceptor pair has a critical distance of 0.93 nm and the distance between the ATP site and the closest Ca2+ was estimated to be greater than 2.1 nm. Parallel measurements with FITC-labeled SR and Co2+, an acceptor with a critical distance 1.2 nm, suggested the ATP and Ca2+ binding sites are greater than 2.6 nm apart. 相似文献
