摘要: W-66 (N-(2-aminoethyl)-N-[2-(4-chlorocinnamylamino) ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide), a newly synthesized isoquinolinesulfonamide, was shown to have potent vasodilatory action and calmodulin (CaM)-antagonizing action. Using the affinity chromatographic technique, we purified two Ca2+-binding proteins from EGTA-soluble fraction of bovine aorta. One CaM other an acidic protein with molecular mass 11 kDa. It tentatively named “calvasculin”. Calvasculin dimeric protein. Equilibrium dialysis showed that 1 mol calvasculin (dimer) bound 1.98 ± 0.30 Ca2+ in presence 10−3m Ca2+. failed activate Ca2+CaM-dependent enzymes such as myosin light chain kinase, phosphodiesterase, or kinase II inhibit stimulation these enzymes. The partial amino acid sequence revealed high homology predicted derived mRNA, pEL-98, 18A2, 42A, p9Ka. We also examined physicochemical biochemical properties calvasculin. antibody specific for calvasculin, obtained evidence is present abundance aorta but not brain, lung, heart, testis.
