Interference of pH buffer with Pb-peripheral domain interactions: obstacle or opportunity?

Metallomics

Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Texas A&M University, 300 Olsen Boulevard, College Station, TX 77843, USA.

Published: February 2020

Pb is a xenobiotic metal ion that competes for Ca-binding sites in proteins. Using the peripheral Ca-sensing domains of Syt1, we show that the chelating pH buffer Bis-Tris enables identification and functional characterization of high-affinity Pb sites that are likely to be targeted by bioavailable Pb.
