| Abstract | CaBP1 (calcium-binding protein 1) is a 19.4-kDa protein of the EF-hand superfamily that modulates the activity of Ca(2+) channels in the brain and retina. Here we present data from NMR, microcalorimetry, and other biophysical studies that characterize Ca(2+) binding, Mg(2+) binding, and structural properties of recombinant CaBP1 purified from Escherichia coli. Mg(2+) binds constitutively to CaBP1 at EF-1 with an apparent dissociation constant (K(d)) of 300 microm. Mg(2+) binding to CaBP1 is enthalpic (DeltaH = -3.725 kcal/mol) and promotes NMR spectral changes, indicative of a concerted Mg(2+)-induced conformational change. Ca(2+) binding to CaBP1 induces NMR spectral changes assigned to residues in EF-3 and EF-4, indicating localized Ca(2+)-induced conformational changes at these sites. Ca(2+) binds cooperatively to CaBP1 at EF-3 and EF-4 with an apparent K(d) of 2.5 microM and a Hill coefficient of 1.3. Ca(2+) binds to EF-1 with low affinity (K(d) >100 microM), and no Ca(2+) binding was detected at EF-2. In the absence of Mg(2+) and Ca(2+), CaBP1 forms a flexible molten globule-like structure. Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) induce distinct conformational changes resulting in protein dimerization and markedly increased folding stability. The unfolding temperatures are 53, 74, and 76 degrees C for apo-, Mg(2+)-bound, and Ca(2+)-bound CaBP1, respectively. Together, our results suggest that CaBP1 switches between structurally distinct Mg(2+)-bound and Ca(2+)-bound states in response to Ca(2+) signaling. Both conformational states may serve to modulate the activity of Ca(2+) channel targets. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
