Abstract excerpt
The immunosuppressant FK-506 (tacrolimus) forms a complex with a ubiquitous intracellular receptor, FK-506 binding protein (FKBP12), and this complex inhibits the heterodimeric Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin, an essential component of the T-cell receptor signal transduction pathway. Using a series of truncated calcineurin catalytic subunits, we show here that a region within the catalytic...
