Abstract excerpt
PEP-19 is a small protein that increases the rates of Ca2+ binding to the C-domain of calmodulin (CaM) by an unknown mechanism. Although an IQ motif promotes binding to CaM, an acidic sequence in PEP-19 is required to modulate Ca2+ binding and to sensitize HeLa cells to ATP-induced Ca2+ release. Here, we report the NMR solution structure of a complex between PEP-19 and the C-domain of apo CaM. The acidic sequence...
