Abstract
The structure of calcium-bound calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) complexed with a 26-residue peptide, corresponding to the CaM-binding domain of rat Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK), has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. In this complex, the CaMKK peptide forms a fold comprising an alpha-helix and a hairpin-like loop whose C-terminus folds back on itself. The binding orientation of this CaMKK peptide by the two CaM domains is opposite to that observed in all other CaM-target complexes determined so far. The N- and C-terminal hydrophobic pockets of Ca2+/CaM anchor Trp 444 and Phe 459 of the CaMKK peptide, respectively. This 14-residue separation between two key hydrophobic groups is also unique among previously determined CaM complexes. The present structure represents a new and distinct class of Ca2+/CaM target recognition that may be shared by other Ca2+/CaM-stimulated proteins.

Figure 2. a, Schematic drawing of interacting residues between Ca ^2+ /CaM and CaMKK peptide. Residues in N-domain and C-domain are colored in cyan and violet, respectively. Key residues of the CaMKK peptide anchoring the hydrophobic pocket in each domain, Trp 444 and Phe 459, are shown in green. b, Portions of ^13 C/F[3]-filtered ^13 C/F[1]-edited HMQC-NOESY spectrum ^24 showing intermolecular NOEs between CaM and the CaMKK peptide. Stereo drawing of the key residues of CaMKK peptide in the hydrophobic pocket of c, N-domain and d,C−domain. esidues within 5 Å of the key residues, Trp 444 and Phe 459, are shown. N, O and S atoms are colored in blue, red and yellow, respectively, while C atoms of N- and C-domain of CaM and CaMKK are shown in cyan, violet and gray, respectively. Diagrams (c) and (d) were generated using the program MOLMOL^55.

Figure 3. Electrostatic potential surfaces of the CaM−target peptide complexes. In the upper panels, the surface of Ca ^2+ /CaM is shown with the target peptide as an yellow tube. The peptide surface is in the lower panels. The surface is colored according to the local electrostatic potential, with blue and red representing positive and negative potential, respectively. Acidic and basic residues interacting with the target peptide are labeled in red and blue, respectively. a, CaM−CaMKK; b, CaM−MLCK^19, ^20; c, CaM−CaMKII^21. The domain linker of CaM in the CaM−CaMKII complex was modeled in the Insight II, since residues 74−83 are absent from the PDB file because of the high flexibility of this region.
