Expression and Distribution of Calcium-Binding Protein S100P in Human Placenta during Pregnancy

A calcium/calmodulin-binding serine/threonine protein kinase homologous to the mammalian type II calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is expressed in plant cells.

cDNA fragments corresponding to an apple (Malus domestica [L.] Borkh) calmodulin-binding polypeptide have been isolated and characterized. The protein encoded by this messenger contains a serine/threonine protein kinase catalytic domain followed by a calcium/calmodulin-binding regulatory domain, both exhibiting significant sequence similarities to the corresponding regions of the mammalian calc...

Calcium binding properties of recombinant calcium binding protein 40, a major calcium binding protein of lower eukaryote Physarum polycephalum.

Calcium binding protein 40 (CBP40) is a Ca(2+)-binding protein abundant in the plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum. CBP40 consists four EF-hand domains in the COOH-terminal half and a putative alpha-helix domain in the NH(2)-terminal half. We expressed recombinant proteins of CBP40 in Escherichia coli to investigate its Ca(2+)-binding properties. Recombinant proteins of CBP40 bound 4 mol of Ca(2...

Evaluation of Anthelmintic Activity of Pistia stratiotes Linn.

The ethanolic extract of the plant Pistia stratiotes (Araceae) was investigated for activity against Indian earthworms Pheretima posthuma and nematode Ascardi galli. Various concentrations (10, 20, 50 mg/ml) of ethanolic extract were tested, which involved determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms. It was compared with Piperazine citrate (15 mg/ml) and Albendazole (20 mg...
