Calcium--calmodulin-dependent activation of porcine liver phosphorylase kinase. 1983

S Nakamura, and A Tsutou, and K Mizuta, and A Negami, and T Nakaza, and E Hashimoto, and H Yamamura

Porcine liver phosphorylase kinase was activated about 1.5-fold by calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner. Half-maximal stimulation was observed at about 80 nM calmodulin and the activation was almost pH-independent. The specific binding of porcine liver phosphorylase kinase to calmodulin--Sepharose affinity column exhibited an absolute dependence upon the presence of calcium. The physiological role of the calmodulin-dependent activation for liver phosphorylase kinase is discussed.

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.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.
