Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin. (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin. Communications Biology, 206 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0203-7

Plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPases expel Ca2+ from the cytoplasm and are key regulators of Ca2+ homeostasis in eukaryotes. They are autoinhibited under low Ca2+ concentrations. Calmodulin (CaM)-binding to a unique regulatory domain releases the autoinhibit... Read More about Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin..
