Ca(2+) binding and energy coupling in the calmodulin-myosin light chain kinase complex.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously shown that 3 Ca(2+) ions are released cooperatively and 1 independently from the complex between (Ca(2+))4-calmodulin and skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase or a peptide containing its core calmodulin-binding sequence. We now have found that three Ca(2+)-binding sites also function cooperatively in equilibrium Ca(2+) binding to these complexes. Replacement of sites I and II in calmodulin...
