title: Calcyclin-like protein from Ehrlich ascites tumour cells. Ca2+ and Zn2+ binding, distribution and target protein.
abstract: The calcyclin-like protein from Ehrlich ascites tumour cells is a 10.5 kDa heat stable protein, which binds two Ca2+ ions each with different affinity. Upon Ca2+ binding, the protein changes its conformation exposing hydrophobic regions. In this conformation it is able to interact with fluphenazine and with a 36 kDa protein immunologically similar to mammalian calpactin. Calcyclin-like protein binds Zn2+ and forms dimers like other members of the S-100 protein family. The calcyclin-like protein is present in several mouse tissues such as stomach, skeletal muscle, heart, spleen, lung and kidney, but seems to be absent from brain, intestine and liver as well as from some tumorigenic cells lines.
