Abstract excerpt
Asn879 in the transmembrane segment M6 of the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump (PMCA human isoform 4xb) has been proposed to coordinate Ca(2+) at the transport site through its carboxylate. This idea agrees with the fact that this Asn is conserved in other Ca(2+)-ATPases but is replaced by Asp, Glu, and other residues in closely related 2P-type ATPases of different ionic specificity. Previous mutagenesis studies have...
