Abstract
The structure and dynamics of human calmodulin-like skin protein (CLSP) have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The mobility of CLSP has been found to be different for the N-terminal and C-terminal domains. The isolated domains were also expressed and analyzed. The structure of the isolated C-terminal domain is presented. The N-terminal domain is characterized by four stable helices, which experience large fluctuations. This is shown to be due to mutations in the hydrophobic core. The overall N-terminal domain behavior is similar both in the full-length protein and in the isolated domain. By exploiting the capability of Tb3+ bound to CLSP to induce partial orientation of the molecule in a magnetic field, restricted motion of one domain with respect to the other was proved. By using NMR, ITC, and ESI-MS, the calcium and magnesium binding properties were investigated. Finally, CLSP is framed into the evolutionary scheme of the calmodulin-like family.

Figure 4. Comparison of CaM Structure and CLSP Model
Space-filling representation of the experimental CaM N-terminal domain structure (PDB:1CFC) and of the CLSP N-terminal domain model. The model was generated by the program MODELLER (6v2) with the N-terminal domain of CaM (PDB: 1CFC) as template. (A), (B), and (C) refer to different orientations of the protein structures.
