Abstract
    Fast-acting muscle of the sandworm, Nereis virens, contains one soluble calcium-binding protein having a molecular weight close to 17 000 and occurring in the muscle at a concentration of approximately 0.1mm. The protein binds two Ca2+ at equivalent sites with dissociation constantKd=6.4·10−7m. Its N-terminal amino acid is blocked by an N-acetyl group whereas glycine is the C-terminal residue. The comparison of the tryptic peptide map of this protein with those of the soluble calcium-binding protein from crayfish muscle, bovine brain calmodulin and rabbit skeletal muscle troponin C suggests that all of these proteins are homologous. Sandworm calcium-binding protein therefore belongs to the so-called cytosolic calcium EF-hand family. This protein is presumably the functional counterpart of vertebrate parvalbumin acting as soluble relaxing factor.
