The small subunits of calcium dependent proteases with different calcium sensitivities are identical. 1986

H Kawasaki, and S Imajoh, and S Kawashima, and H Hayashi, and K Suzuki

The small subunits of two calcium dependent proteases from rabbit with different calcium sensitivities were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and their properties were compared. The isolated subunits were indistinguishable on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and HPLC. Their amino acid compositions were identical, and the peptides obtained on their digestion with lysyl-endopeptidase showed identical peptide maps on HPLC. Furthermore, the amino acid compositions and partial amino acid sequences of the corresponding peptides purified by HPLC were the same. These results indicate that the two calcium protease isozymes possess the same small subunit.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
