title: Phospholamban domain I/cytochrome b5 transmembrane sequence chimeras do not inhibit SERCA2a.
abstract: A series of chimeras between the transmembrane domains of phospholamban (PLN) and cytochrome b5 were coexpressed with the Ca2+-ATPase of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SERCA2a). The chimeric molecules were not inhibitory, in line with our view that inhibitory PLN/SERCA2a interactions occur in transmembrane sequences, while cytoplasmic interactions regulate the inhibitory interactions in a four-base circuit.
