Molecular biology of natriuretic peptides and nitric oxide synthases [PDF]
Natriuretic peptides and nitric oxide play important roles in cardiovascular and renal physiology and disease. The natriuretic peptides - atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide - comprise a family of proteins that participate in the integrated control of intravascular volume and arterial blood pressure ...

Modification of soybean sucrose synthase by S-thiolation with ENOD40 peptide A [PDF]
The gene ENOD40 is expressed at an early stage of root nodule organogenesis and has been postulated to play a central regulatory role in the Rhizobium-legume interaction. In vitro translation of soybean ENOD40 mRNA showed that the gene encodes two peptides of 12 and 24aa residues (peptides A and B) that bind to sucrose synthase.

Thermodynamics of apocalmodulin and nitric oxide synthase II peptide interaction [PDF]
The Ca2+‐free form of calmodulin (CaM), apocalmodulin (ApoCaM), regulates a variety of target proteins including nitric oxide synthase II (NOS‐II). The CaM‐binding site of NOS‐II can bind ApoCaM with high affinity. Substitution of hydrophobic amino acids by charged amino acids at crucial positions 3, 9 and 13 within the CaM‐binding motif did not ...
