Abstract

Mutants of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (PMCA), in which amino acids in transmembrane domains (TM) 4, 6, and 8 had been replaced, have been expressed in COS-7 cells. They were analyzed functionally by measuring the uptake of Ca2+ in microsomal preparations and by following the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate from ATP and from phosphate. The mutated residues corresponded to amino acids whose mutation in the sarcoplasmic reticulum pump (SERCA) caused loss of Ca2+ transport by the pump protein: however, only four of the six SERCA residues were conserved in the PMCA pump. Mutation of Glu423 (TM4), Asn879 or Asp883 (TM6), or Gln97l (TM8) suppressed Ca2+ transport by the pump and its ability to form the phosphorylated intermediate starting from ATP. By contrast, the ability of these mutants to form the intermediate starting from phosphate was not impaired. In two mutants (Glu423 and Asp883) it was even enhanced. Two conserved Pro residues of TM4 were also mutated, leading to the loss of the ability of the pump to form the Ca2+- and ATP-dependent phosphorylated intermediate. Unexpectedly, two of the mutations (Asn879 and Gln971) led to the mistargeting of the mutated proteins, i.e., to their retention in the endoplasmic ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
