Evidence for a phosphorylation-induced conformational change in phospholamban cytoplasmic domain by CD analysis.

abstract：:By use of the signal sequence trap method, we isolated a cDNA encoding a novel aspartic protease-like protein from the mouse kidney, and termed it 'kidney-derived aspartic protease-like protein (KAP).' The protein, a 419-amino-acid polypeptide with a 16-amino-acid signal sequence, had 47% identity with mouse cathepsin...
