Figure 3: Structure of CaM lobes in the CaMBD/Ca^2+/CaM complex. a, Left, C superimposition of N-lobe residues 10 -67 of the CaMBD/Ca^2+/CaM complex (blue) onto those of the Ca^2+/CaM complex12 (yellow). Ca^2+ ions are shown as spheres. Right, C superimposition of C-lobe residues 81 -146 of the CaMBD/Ca^2+/CaM complex (blue) and the NMR apoCaM C-lobe structure^15 (magenta) onto that of the Ca^2+/CaM complex12 (yellow). b, Comparison of the C-lobe EF hand regions of the Ca^2+/CaM12 and the CaMBD/Ca^2+/CaM complexes. Ca^2+-coordinating residues are shown as sticks. Note the displacements of Ca^2+-coordinating residues Asp 95, Asp 131, Glu 104 and Glu 140 out of the expanded Ca^2+-coordination sphere in the CaMBD complex.
