The binding of arsenazo III to cell components

Add time:09/26/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

The Ca2+ indicator, arsenazo III, binds to subcellular fractions of rabbit skeletal muscle with sufficient affinity that in living muscle containing 1–2 mM arsenazo III, the estimated free arsenazo III concentration is only 50–200 μM; 80–90% of the bound arsenazo III is associated with soluble proteins.The binding of arsenazo III to soluble proteins decreases the optical response of the dye to Ca2+; this is due to a decrease in the affinity of the protein-bound dye for Ca2+. Approximately half of the bound arsenazo III is released from the particulate fraction and soluble proteins upon addition of 5 mM Ca2+, suggesting that the Ca-arsenazo complex has lower affinity for the protein binding sites than the free dye.The Ca2+ binding to the soluble protein fraction of rabbit skeletal muscle is attributable largely to its parvalbumin content.
