CALCIUM FORM OF HUMAN S100B, NMR, 20 STRUCTURES
Overview
BACKGROUND: S100B is a homodimeric member of the EF-hand calcium-binding, protein superfamily. The protein has been implicated in cellular processes, such as cell differentiation and growth, plays a role in cytoskeletal, structure and function, and may have a role in neuropathological diseases, such as Alzheimers. The effects of S100B are mediated via its interaction, with target proteins. While several studies have suggested that this, interaction is propagated through a calcium-induced conformational change, leading to the exposure of a hydrophobic region of S100B, the molecular, details behind this structural alteration remain unclear. RESULTS: The, solution structure of calcium-saturated human S100B (Ca(2+)-S100B) has, been determined by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. Ca(2+)-S100B ... [(full description)]
