Interactions between residues in the oncomodulin CD domain influence Ca2+ ion-binding affinity.

Abstract excerpt

Despite striking sequence homology with rat parvalbumin, oncomodulin exhibits much lower affinity for Ca2+ ion. We are attempting to identify the structural basis for this difference by systematically substituting the parvalbumin residue for the oncomodulin residue at points of nonidentity. In this paper, we examine two mutations in the helical segments flanking the CD ion-binding loop. Replacement of Asp-45 in...
