Fig. 3. Surface representations of EF-hand protein-target interactions. A, the solution structure of cTnC bound to cTnI . cTnC was found to have bend, azimuth, and twist angles of 70°, 30°, and 29°, respectively. B, the x-ray structure of sTnC bound to sTnI-(1-47) (11). The orientation of sTnC domains is defined by bend, azimuth, and twist angles of 93°, 162°, and 25°, respectively. C, the crystal structure of four Ca^2+-loaded sTnC (36). The orientation of sTnC domains is defined by bend, azimuth, and twist angles of 12°, 94°, and 3°, respectively. The N- and C-terminal domains of TnC are shown in gold and red, respectively. TnI peptides are shown in magenta and blue. Superposition of TnC C-terminal domains was used to provide similar orientations. D, the NMR structure of Ca^2+-bound CaM complexed with the myosin light chain kinase peptide (37). The orientation of CaM domains is defined by bend, azimuth, and twist angles of 111°, 95°, and 68°, respectively. The N- and C-terminal domains of CaM are shown in gold and red, respectively. The CaM-bound myosin light chain kinase peptide is shown in blue. Superposition of the CaM C-terminal domain and the TnC C-terminal domain was used to provide similar orientations.
