Figure 1: Overview of calpastatin domain 4 (CAST4) bound to calpain 2. The overall structure of CAST4 (purple) bound to the inactive C105S mutant of calpain 2. CAST4, which is unstructured in the absence of calpain, forms three -helices when in complex with the enzyme. Helices in subdomains A and C, which are in contact with DIV (yellow) and DVI (orange), and the helix in subdomain B, which is in contact with the protease core DI and DII (blue and light blue, respectively) are shown in ribbon representation. DIII is coloured green. Gaps in the electron density of CAST4 are indicated by missing residues between D589 and K594, and between N629 and P652.
