In silico prediction and analysis of Caenorhabditis EF-hand containing proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Calcium (Ca⁺²) is a ubiquitous messenger in eukaryotes including Caenorhabditis. Ca⁺²-mediated signalling processes are usually carried out through well characterized proteins like calmodulin (CaM) and other Ca⁺² binding proteins (CaBP).

Use of top-down and bottom-up fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry for mapping calmodulin sites modified by platinum anticancer drugs [PDF]
, 2011 Calmodulin (CaM) is a highly conserved, ubiquitous, calcium-binding protein; it binds to and regulates many different protein targets, thereby functioning as a calcium sensor and signal transducer.

Calcium-binding capacity of organic and inorganic ortho- and polyphosphates
, 2009 The aim of this research was to determine the calcium-binding capacity of inorganic and organic ortho- and polyphosphates. This calcium-binding capacity can be used to influence the stability of, for example, casein micelles in dairy systems.

Dynamics and Epigenetics of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
EpigenomesEpidermis is the outer skin layer built of specialized cells called keratinocytes. Keratinocytes undergo a unique differentiation process, also known as cornification, during which their gene expression pattern, morphology and other properties change ...

Purification of tropomyosin, paramyosin, actin, tubulin, troponin and kinases for chemiproteomics and its application to different scientific fields. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: p-aminobenzamidine (p-ABA) is used as a ligand in the purification of many serine proteases and in their removal from heterogeneous samples. Moreover, p-ABA has a potent ability to bind Ca(2+)-binding proteins.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Two structural motifs within canonical EF-hand calcium-binding domains identify five different classes of calcium buffers and sensors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Proteins with EF-hand calcium-binding motifs are essential for many cellular processes, but are also associated with cancer, autism, cardiac arrhythmias, and Alzheimer's, skeletal muscle and neuronal diseases.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Distribution of calcium-binding proteins in the chick visual system
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 The calcium-binding proteins calbindin (CB), calretinin (CR), and parvalbumin (PV) have been extensively studied over the last decade since they appear to be important as buffers of intracellular calcium.
