Abstract excerpt
High-affinity and cooperative binding of two Ca(2+) per ATPase (SERCA) occurs within the membrane-bound region of the enzyme. Direct measurements of binding at various Ca(2+) concentrations demonstrate that site-directed mutations within this region interfere selectively with Ca(2+) occupancy of either one or both binding sites and with the cooperative character of the binding isotherms. A transition associated...
