Abstract excerpt
The roles of N-terminal autolysis of the large (80 kDa) and small (28 kDa) subunits in activation of rat m-calpain, in lowering its Ca2+ requirement, and in reducing its stability have been investigated with heterodimeric recombinant calpains containing modified subunits. Both autolysis and [Ca2+]0.5 were influenced by the ionic strength of the buffers, which accounts for the wide variations in previous reports....
