High affinity Ca2+ binding sites of calmodulin are critical for the regulation of myosin Ibeta motor function.

Abstract excerpt

We coexpressed myosin Ibeta heavy chain with three different calmodulin mutants in which the two Ca2+-binding sites of the two N-terminal domain (E12Q), C-terminal domain (E34Q), or all four sites (E1234Q) are mutated in order to define the importance of these Ca2+ binding sites to the regulation of myosin Ibeta. The calmodulin mutated at the two Ca2+ binding sites in N-terminal domain and C-terminal domain lost...
