Abstract excerpt
Rat β-parvalbumin (β-PV) and chicken parvalbumin 3 (CPV3) exhibit diminished Ca(2+) affinity. Their sequences, 70% identical, are unusual in that serine replaces the consensus residue, valine, at position 33. Reasoning that the substitution of a compact, polar hydroxymethyl moiety for a bulky, apolar isopropyl group might contribute to the attenuated Ca(2+) affinities, we have characterized the S33V variants of...
