Abstract
Grancalcin is a cytosolic Ca(2+)-binding protein originally identified in human neutrophils. It belongs to a new class of EF-hand proteins, called PEF proteins, which contain five EF-hand motifs. At the N-terminus of grancalcin there is a approximately 50 residue-long segment rich in glycines and prolines. The fifth EF-hand, unpaired within the monomer, provides a means for dimerization through pairing with its counterpart in a second molecule. The structure of full-length grancalcin in the apo form and with one EF3 within the dimer occupied by a Ca(2+) ion have been determined. Although the N-terminal segment was present in the molecule, this part was disordered in the crystals. Here, the structure of a truncated form of grancalcin, which is lacking 52 N-terminal residues, in the presence and absence of Ca(2+) is presented. In the Ca(2+)-bound form the ions are found in the EF1 and EF3 hands. Binding of Ca(2+) to these two EF hands produces only minor conformational changes, mostly within the EF1 Ca(2+)-binding loop. This observation supports the hypothesis, formulated on the basis of the structure of a homologous protein ALG-2 which shows significant differences in the orientation of EF4 and EF5 compared with grancalcin, that calcium is a necessary factor but not sufficient alone for inducing a significant conformational change in PEF proteins.

Full text Abstract
Figure 3.
Figure 3. EF-hands of grancalcin and their comparison with calpain dVI. Grancalcin is shown in dark lines and calpain in light gray, Ca^2+ is shown as gray sphere connected by dashed lines to its ligands. (a) Superposition of EF1 of grancalcin and Ca^2+-bound EF1 of calpain dVI. Only the C-terminal part of the loop and helix F1 were used for superposition. The Ca^2+ of calpain is shown as a sphere and the dashed lines mark its ligands. The two small gray spheres are water molecules liganding calcium. (b) Superposition of EF2 from grancalcin and calpain domain VI. Note that in grancalcin the usual glutamate in position -Z is replaced by Ala113. (c) Comparison of Ca^2+-bound (dark) and Ca^2+-free EF3 from the Ca-grancalcin (light). (d) Superposition of EF5 of grancalcin and calpain dVI.

Figure 4. (a) The stereo view of C^a tracing of grancalcin dimer (blue) with a superimposed domain VI of rat calpain (magenta). The view is along the symmetry axis of the dimer with the EF1 near the viewer. The main difference between the two proteins is in the positioning of EF1. (b) Electrostatic potential for grancalcin dimer, same view as above. (c) Electrostatic potential for calpain dVI in the same orientation as grancalcin.
