  1. Plasma-membrane Ca(2+) pumps: structural diversity as the basis for functional versatility.
    E E Strehler, A G Filoteo, ... A J Caride

    Biochem Soc Trans 35(Pt 5):919-22 (2007) PMID 17956246

    Plasma-membrane calcium pumps [PMCAs (plasma-membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases)] expel Ca(2+) from eukaryotic cells to maintain overall Ca(2+) homoeostasis and to provide local control of intracellular Ca(2+) signalling. Recent work indicates functional versatility among PMCA isoforms, with sp...

  2. The plasma membrane calcium pump displays memory of past calcium spikes. Differences between isoforms 2b and 4b.

    We studied these constants for isoforms 2b and 4b. We measured the ATPase activity of these isoforms expressed in Sf9 cells. For both PMCA4b and 2b, k(act) increased with Ca(2+) along a sigmoidal curve. At all Ca(2+) concentrations, 2b showed a faster reaction with calmodulin than 4b but a slower of...

  3. The rate of activation by calmodulin of isoform 4 of the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump is slow and is changed by alternative splicing.

    J Biol Chem 274(49):35227-32 (1999) PMID 10575008

    A reconstitution system allowed us to measure the ATPase activity of specific isoforms of the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump continuously, and to measure the effects of adding or removing calmodulin. The rate of activation by calmodulin of isoform 4b was found to be very slow, with a half-time (at 235...
