Sarcoplasmic calcium-binding proteins in protochordate and cyclostome muscle

Abstract: A sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein (SCP) has been purified from the muscle of the protochordate Amphioxus and shown to be more similar to invertebrate SCP's than to their counterpart found in vertebrates, i.e. parvalbumins. The Amphioxus protein has a pI of 4.9, is rich in tyrosine and tryptophan, has a molecular weight of 22,000 and binds strongly 2Ca2+ with a pK of 7.88. Magnesium competes with calcium for only one of the two metal-binding sites and induces positive cooperativity in Ca2+ binding. In cycl… Show more

“…SCP belonging to EF‐hand calcium‐binding protein family of invertebrates is a functional analogue of vertebrate parvalbumin . SCP acts as a buffer to cytosolic Ca 2+ and hence maintains the intracellular Ca 2+ levels . In the present study, expression of SCP in WSSV‐intubated shrimps was significantly low at 4 hpi.…”

“…it is mobilized from muscle in lampreys (Hardisty and Potter 1971). Parvalbumins occur at high concentrations in teleost mrascles and may help regulate intracellular Ca but are absent in lamprey muscle (Kohler et al 1978). Topics for faarther research include muscle rnetabolisnn, fatigue of Hamprey muscle during continued activity.…”

“…Magnesium binding also is slightly cooperative. The SCP of the protochordate amphioxus is monomeric with a mol wt of 22000 and binds strongly two calciums (Kohler et al, 1978). Magnesium competes with calcium for only one metal-binding stite and induces positive cooperativity in calcium binding.…”
