Crystallization and preliminary x-ray investigation of sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein from Nereis diversicolor.

چکیده
Crystals of sarcoplasmic calcium-binding proteins from Nereis diversicolor have been grown from solutions of ammonium sulfate. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2(1); the axes are a = 43.65 (1), b = 56.05 (1), c = 65.77 (1) A, and beta = 92.58 (2) degrees. The crystals are quite stable to x-rays and diffract beyond 2.5 A resolution. The asymmetric unit contains two protein molecules.

Amino acid sequence of a sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein from the sandworm Nereis diversicolor.
Muscles of invertebrate species contain abundant quantities of soluble, sarcoplasmic, high affinity Ca2+-binding proteins (SCBPs). The SCBPs belong to the calmodulin superfamily and contain four homologous domains (I-IV) which arose by reduplication of a gene for a small ancestral protein. We have determined the amino acid sequence of the SCBP from the sandworm Nereis diversicolor. This protein...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel EF-hand homologue, CnidEF, in the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima.
The superfamily of EF-hand proteins is comprised of a large and diverse group of proteins that contain one or more characteristic EF-hand calcium-binding domains. This study describes and characterizes a novel EF-hand cDNA, CnidEF, from the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima (Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa). CnidEF was found to contain two EF-hand motifs near the C-terminus of the deduced a...
متن کاملAdvisor : Julie Bartley 3 : 30 pm How are mRNAs Targeted for Degradation in Cells ?
Nereis diversicolor, a marine worm, is unique in its ability to survive in high concentrations of cadmium that would be lethal to other organisms. Investigation into this characteristic led to the discovery of metalloprotein II (MPII), a member of the myohemerythrin family. The affinity of MPII for cadmium makes it unique among the myohemerythrins, which normally bind iron. MPII is thus an inte...

The comparative effect of the uptake of fresh and degraded detritus of halophytic plants, harvested from salt marches of the Mont Saint-Michel Bay (France), on the growth of a juvenile population of the annelid polychaete N. diversicolor (L.) was studied under experimental conditions in summer 1993. Fresh and degraded detritus of Spartina anglica, Halimione portulacoides and Salicornia europeae...
متن کاملThree-dimensional crystals of Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum: merging electron diffraction tilt series and imaging the (h, k, 0) projection.
Electron crystallography offers an increasingly viable alternative to X-ray crystallography for structure determination, especially for membrane proteins. The methodology has been developed and successfully applied to 2D crystals; however, well-ordered thin, 3D crystals are often produced during crystallization trials and generally discarded due to complexities in structure analysis. To cope wi...
