Study on calmodulin-binding proteins in lympnocytes / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Utilizing the ~(125)I-Calmodulin-overlay technique, we have detected calmodulin-binding proteins (CaMBPs) in crude extracts of lymphocytes. The results indicated that appendix (B cell), mesenteric lymph node (T, B cell) and spleen (T, B cell) from rabbit contained 19, 20 and 16 species of CaMBPs respectively. Ten CaMBPs with molecular weight 80, 78, 70, 63,50, 41, 36, 22, 17 and 13.5 K D were present in all lymphocytes detected. Lymphocytes were rich in two kind of CaMBPs with molecular weight 17 and 13.5 K D which bound calmodulin in partial calcium-dependent manner.
