title: Oligomerisation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase monomers from skeletal muscle.
abstract: The fast-twitch SERCA1 isoform of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase was purified to homogeneity and conjugated to peroxidase. The SERCA1 probe showed high affinity binding to the immobilized monomeric enzyme, but not crosslinker-stabilized oligomers. This suggests a preferential complex formation via homo-dimerization, rather than interactions with established oligomeric structures.
