... presence of Ca2+, the addition of equimolar amounts of calpasta-tin induces an increase of approximately one order of magnitude in the affinity of calpain for mAb 56.3,indicating that, in these conditions, ... for interaction with calpain.This hypothesis is confirmed by the effect of arachi-donate treatment on the intracellular distribution of calpastatin (Fig. 8). In untreated cells, cytosol containsa ... higher concentra-tions of the metal ion [45]. The addition of E64, a syn-thetic inhibitor of calpain, did not modify the intensity of the signal observed in the presence of Ca2+alone.The increase...
