Abstract excerpt
Mutants of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (PMCA), in which amino acids in transmembrane domains (TM) 4, 6, and 8 had been replaced, have been expressed in COS-7 cells. They were analyzed functionally by measuring the uptake of Ca2+ in microsomal preparations and by following the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate from ATP and from phosphate. The mutated residues corresponded to amino acids whose mutation...
