  • For example in vitro after bioluminescence reaction, aequorin can be regenerated via EDTA and reducing agents to again bind calcium and produce photons, but I don’t know what happens in vivo, whether the cell have heaps of AEQ and deploys some of them every time the neural impulse release calcium or there is a mechanism of calcium detachment from the EF-hand proteins once they are no longer required

  • I am not an expert in Calcium signalling but I would like to know what happen with the calcium ions AFTER bound to the target protein: either a) they are sequestered by a chelating compound and then returned to the endoplasmic reticulum or b)they remain bound to the target protein (ei. Calmodulin, aequorin) and then the whole protein is recycled via ubiquitin pathway?
