6. Vacuolar Ca2+-ATPases in Plants. Regulation by calmodulin binding to a N-terminal autoinhibitory domain
Sammanfattning : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is essential for all plant and animal life. One important function of Ca2+ is as a second messenger in the responses of the cell to environmental and hormonal signals as well as in some intrinsic developmental processes. LÄS MER
7. Abiotic Stress Tolerance. Metabolic and Physiological Effects of Compatible Solutes and Calmodulin on E. coli and Tobacco
Sammanfattning : In their natural habitats, bacteria and plants can be exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt concentrations and freezing, which are factors limiting their capacity for growth and proliferation. To withstand environmental stresses, they have evolved specific stress responses. LÄS MER
8. Exploring the interactome of EF-hand proteins
Sammanfattning : EF-hand proteins are central in many cellular processes being the main group of Ca2+-sensing and buffering proteins in the cell. In the work presented in this thesis we study ligand interactions of three EF-hand proteins; calmodulin, calbindin D28k and secretagogin. LÄS MER
9. Computational Study of Calmodulin’s Ca2+-dependent Conformational Ensembles
Sammanfattning : Ca2+ and calmodulin play important roles in many physiologically crucial pathways. The conformational landscape of calmodulin is intriguing. Conformational changes allow for binding target-proteins, while binding Ca2+ yields population shifts within the landscape. Thus, target-proteins become Ca2+-sensitive upon calmodulin binding.

10. Calcium transporting ATPases in plant cells
Sammanfattning : Plant cells carry Ca2+ ATPases to maintain the low resting level of cytosolic Ca2+ (0.1-0.2 µM) found in all eukaryotes. Plant Ca2+ ATPases are mainly located in the plasma membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum and in the vacuolar membrane, and consequently large Ca2+ gradients are created across these membranes. LÄS MER
