Open AccessActivation of Ca2+ transport in cardiac microsomes enriches functional sets of ER and SR proteins
The importance of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-handling in heart has led to detailed understanding of Ca2+-release and re-uptake protein complexes, while less is known about other endoplasmic reticulum (ER) f...

Altered calsequestrin glycan processing is common to diverse models of canine heart failure
Calsequestrin-2 (CSQ2) is a resident glycoprotein of junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum that functions in the regulation of SR Ca2+ release. CSQ2 is biosynthesized in rough ER around cardiomyocyte nuclei and then ...

The cytosolic protein kinase CK2 phosphorylates cardiac calsequestrin in intact cells
The luminal SR protein CSQ2 contains phosphate on roughly half of the serines found in its C-terminus. The sequence around phosphorylation sites in CSQ2 suggest that the in vivo kinase is protein kinase CK2, e...

Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of calsequestrin on CK2-sensitive sites in heart
Calsequestrin (CSQ) concentrates in junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) where it functions in regulation of Ca2+ release. When purified from heart tissue, cardiac CSQ contains phosphate on a cluster of C-termi...

Developmental regulation of the L-type calcium channel α1C subunit expression in heart
We used Northern analyses, RNase protection assays and immunoblot analyses to examine the relationship among developmental age of the heart, abundance of mRNA and L-type calcium channel α1Csubunit protein, and to...

Unitary anion currents through phospholemman channel molecules
PHOSPHOLEMMAN (PLM) is a 72-amino-acid peptide with a single transmembrane domain1–3, the expression of which induces chloride currents in Xenopus oocytes4–6. It has remained unknown whether PLM is an ion channel...
