Abstract excerpt
Recoverin and the guanylate cyclase activating proteins (GCAPs) are calcium-sensing proteins in retinal rod and cone cells that belong to the EF-hand superfamily and serve as important calcium sensors in vision. Recoverin and the OCAP proteins are myristoylated at their amino-terminus and are targeted to retinal disc membranes by a myristoyl switch. Here, we present the three-dimensional, atomic-resolution...
