Popis: A glycoprotein that binds about 20 atoms of Ca per mole has been purified from the osmotic shock fluid of some unicellular coenocytic water-molds, Achlya spp. and Blastocladiella emersonii . The binding of calcium is allosterically regulated by N6-(substituted)adenine derivatives, cytokinins. Pyrimidines, purine and pyrimidine nucleosides, auxins, and benzimidazole derivatives are ineffective in inhibiting calcium binding. Lysozyme partially inactivates the molecule so that a high affinity calcium binding site is destroyed. Trypsin and pronase inactivate the molecule so that Ca++ binding to both high and low affinity sites is affected. Cytokinins inhibit calcium binding to both sites.
