Abstract excerpt
Glu309, Glu771, Asn796, Thr799, Asp800, and Glu908 (ligands 1 to 6, respectively) appear to form the high affinity Ca2(+)-binding sites of the Ca2(+)-ATPase. The plasticity of the Ca2(+)-binding sites was tested by separate replacement of each of the ligands with a structurally similar oxygen-containing residue using site-specific mutagenesis. Mutant cDNAs were transfected into COS-1 cells, and ATP-dependent Ca2+...
