Abstract excerpt
Calcineurin (CN) is the receptor for two immunophilin-immunosuppressant complexes, Cyp-CsA and FKBP-FK506. It is a heterodimer composed of a catalytic subunit (CNA) and a regulatory subunit (CNB). It is also inhibited by its own auto-inhibitory domain (AID). Loop 7 is a beta-hairpin within CNA that makes close contact with bound immunophilin-immunosuppressant complexes and with the AID. To investigate the role of...
