Molar Partition Coefficients, K, for the Ca2+-dependent and Ca2+-independent membrane affinity of the syt1 C2 domains.

POPC:POPS (3:1) Syt1C2A Syt1C2B Syt1C2AB
[Ca2+]=1 mM 1.1 (± 0.1) × 103 6.9 (± 0.1) × 103 5.3 (± 1.0) × 103
No Ca2+ Not detected 2.9 (± 0.3) × 102 1.2 (± 0.1) × 102

Values of K are give in units of M−1. The errors represent the uncertainty obtained from the non-linear regression procedure used in the fitting the data to K. Samples in the Ca2+-free state contained 2 to 5 mM EGTA. The reciprocal of K corresponds to the accessible molar lipid concentration at which 50% of the protein is membrane bound.
