Abstract excerpt
Modulation of the type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R1) by cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) plays an essential role in their signaling function, but structural determinants and mechanisms responsible for the InsP(3)R1 regulation by Ca(2+) are poorly understood. Using DT40 cell expression system and Ca(2+) imaging assay, in our previous study we identified a critical role of E2100 residue in the...
