Abstract excerpt
Calmodulin (CaM) and troponin C (TnC) are the most similar members of EF-hand family and show few differences in the primary structure. Here, we use mutants of troponin that mimic calmodulin and changes in temperature to investigate the factors that determine their specificity as regulatory proteins. Using a double mutant of troponin that resembles calmodulin in lacking both the N-terminal helix and KGK(91-93) we...
