T. Hoshino et al., PLANT ANNEXIN FORM HOMODIMER DURING CA2-DEPENDENT LIPOSOME AGGREGATION(), Biochemistry and molecular biology international, 35(4), 1995, pp. 749-755
The annexin (p35) was isolated from the fruits of green pepper (Capsic
um annum). The partial amino acid sequence of p35 was analyzed. p35 ha
d an endonexin fold as annexin consensus sequences. Purified p35 had o
ther annexin like characters such as strongly bind to phosphatidylseri
ne and phosphatidylinositol, phospholipase A2 inhibition and liposome
regation. The zero-length crosslinking assay revealed that p35 formed
a homodimer during Ca2+-dependent liposome aggregation.
