Title A closed compact structure of native ca(2+)-Calmodulin.
Authors J.L.Fallon, F.A.Quiocho.
Ref. Structure, 2003, 11, 1303-1307. [DOI no: 10.1016/j.str.2003.09.004]

Abstract
Calmodulin has been a subject of intense scrutiny since its discovery because of its unusual properties in regulating the functions of about 100 diverse target enzymes and structural proteins. The original and to date only crystal conformation of native eukaryotic Ca(2+)-calmodulin (Ca(2+)-CaM) is a very extended molecule with two widely separated globular domains linked by an exposed long helix. Here we report the 1.7 A X-ray structure of a new native Ca(2+)-CaM that is in a compact ellipsoidal conformation and shows a sharp bend in the linker helix and a more contracted N-terminal domain. This conformation may offer advantages for recognition of kinase-type calmodulin targets or small organic molecule drugs.

Figure 1. Unbound Compact Structure of Native Ca^2+-CaM(A) Stereoview of the electron density (2Fo-Fc at 1 s level) for the N-domain of Ca^2+-CaM, showing the N-terminal acetoalanine (n-ACE) and residues 2, 3, and 4 as a ball and stick model. Carbon atoms are green, oxygens are red, and nitrogens are blue.(B) Stereoview of the ribbon diagram of Ca^2+-CaM showing interdomain contacts. The CaM backbone is purple, loops are brown, and calciums are blue spheres. The sidechains that make contact (including 16 hydrogen bonds (<3.4 Å) and 24 van der Waals interactions (<4 Å)) between domains are shown (atom colors as Figure 1A, with sulfur yellow). Helices are numbered from I-VIII.

Figure 1.
Figure 1. X-ray structures of the edema factor (EF) toxin. a, Free EF and b, EF complexed with CaM and 3'deoxy-ATP. The EF helical domain (yellow) is moved by the binding of calmodulin (red), and held between it and the catalytic domains C[A] and C[B] (green). Large conformational changes occur in the interface domains switch A (blue), switch B (orange) and switch C (cyan), which complete an active site in which 3' deoxy-ATP and a metal are bound (purple).

Figure 2. Comparison of CaM -EF with other calmodulin structures aligned on a CaM C-domain helix. a, Ca^2+ -calmodulin, with the N-domain (orange) connected to the C-domain (red) by a rigid linker helix. b, Ca^2+ -CaM enclosing a target domain (blue) from myosin light chain kinase and c, a fragment of the Ca^2+-activated K+ channel. Note that part of the linker helix of CaM has become unwound to allow close binding of these quite different targets. d, The CaM -EF structure. Calmodulin is held between EF domains, again with a partially unwound linker, which allows this unusual domain positioning. Also, note that the CaM -EF structure does not have Ca^2+ in the CaM N-domain and the CaM -K+ channel structure does not have Ca^2+ in the CaM C-domain. Figure courtesy of W. Tang.

Figure 2.
Figure 2. The K-termnal domain is shown including all sidechains and most of the water molecules (circle) in the region i stereo. Polar side-chain interacting with water molecules are labeled. (Ball and stick.) Part of the cent~ral a-helix can be seen close to the viewer, going left an down towards th c-domain, which is not shown in this ig. Residues 8 to 72 are displayed in this Fig. The view is clse to that in Fig. 1, but not identicl. Calcium ions 1 and 2 ar shown as triple concentric circles.
Figure 3.
Figure 3. The central cl-helix is shown in stereo, and ts polar residues labeled. (Ball and stick.) The view is diRerent from Figs 2 and 4. The view is chosen so that the helix is seen vertical in this Fig. Some of the main-chain-side-chain and side-chain-side-chain bonds can also be seen for residues belonging to this helix (described in able 4, sections D and E).
