Wheat germ agglutinin-induced intracellular calcium mobilization in human platelets: suppression by staurosporine and resistance to cyclic AMP inhibition.

abstract：:Escherichia coli isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase has been shown to contain two enzyme-bound zinc atoms per polypeptide chain. To investigate the structural and functional significance of the C-terminal enzyme-bound zinc, mutagenesis was used to alter Cys 922 to Ser [IleRS(C922S)] and to replace Cys 922 through Ala 939 with ...
