Identification of a novel prokaryotic HEAT-repeats-containing protein which interacts with a cyanobacterial IscA homolog.

abstract：:Mammalian heart has been reported to express AC isozymes (types V and VI) that are inhibited by < microM [Ca2+]; avian heart has been reported to express adenylyl cyclase activity that is inhibited by < microM [Ca2]. We have used reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to determine that type V and VI ...
