Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we presented evidence for the existence of a nucleotide-binding site (NBS) in the N-terminal region of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC1). In this study, further localization and possible roles of the proposed VDAC1-NBS were investigated using site-directed mutagenesis. The predicated NBS of murine VDAC1 (mVDAC1) was mutated by replacing two glycine residues with alanines or a...
