Abstract excerpt
We studied the role of the interaction of calcineurin homologous protein 1 (CHP1) with the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 1 (NHE1), particularly its EF-hand Ca(2+) binding motifs, in the intracellular pH (pH(i))-dependent regulation of NHE1. We found that (45)Ca(2+) binds to two EF-hand motifs (EF3 and 4) of the recombinant CHP1 proteins with high affinity (apparent K(d) = approximately 90 nM). Complex formation between...
