Conformational requirements for Ca(2+)/calmodulin binding and activation of myosin light chain kinase.

Abstract excerpt

Myosin light chain kinase contains a regulatory segment consisting of an autoinhibitory region and a calmodulin-binding sequence that folds back on its catalytic core to inhibit kinase activity. It has been proposed that alpha-helix formation may be involved in displacement of the regulatory segment and activation of the kinase by Ca(2+)/calmodulin. Proline mutations were introduced at putative non-interacting...
