Switch #: SWTI000484

Switch type: Binary

Switch subtype: Pre-translational

Description:
Alternative splicing removes the PDZ-binding motif of Plasma membrane calcium-transporting ATPase 4 (ATP2B4), abrogating binding to Nitric oxide synthase, brain (NOS1). PMCA4b acts as a negative regulator of Nitric oxide synthase, brain (NOS1), reducing production of nitric oxide in heart tissue. This negative regulation was not dependent on a conformational change due to binding of the PDZ ligand, but on Ca2+ depletion in close proximity of the enzyme. Nitric oxide production by NOS1 is known to be important in the regulation of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and subsequently contractility.

Participants:
(1) Plasma membrane calcium-transporting ATPase 4 (ATP2B4)
(2) Nitric oxide synthase, brain (NOS1)

(1) The plasmamembrane calmodulin-dependent calcium pump: a major regulator of nitric oxide synthase I.
