Abstract excerpt
The ability of two loss-of-function mutants, L31A and L31C, of phospholamban (PLB) to bind to and inhibit the Ca(2+) pump of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SERCA2a) was investigated using a molecular cross-linking approach. Leu(31) of PLB, located at the cytoplasmic membrane boundary, is a critical amino acid shown previously to be essential for Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibition. We observed that L31A or L31C mutations...
