Essential role of B-helix calcium binding sites in annexin V-membrane binding.

Abstract excerpt

Crystal structures of annexin V have shown up to 10 bound calcium ions in three different types of binding sites, but previous work concluded that only one of these sites accounted for nearly all of the membrane binding affinity of the molecule. In this study we mutated residues contributing to potential calcium binding sites in the AB and B helices in each of the four domains (eight sites in total) and in DE...
