Abstract
Calcium signals mediate a multitude of plant responses to external stimuli. Calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins and their target kinases, CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), represent important relays in plant calcium signaling. CBL interacts with CIPK through a conserved motif (NAF/FISL motif) within the C-terminal regulatory domain. To better understand the functional role of the CBL-CIPK system, we determined the crystal structure of AtCBL2 in complex with the regulatory domain of AtCIPK14 at 1.2 A resolution. The NAF/FISL motif is inserted into a hydrophobic crevice within AtCBL2, accompanied by a large displacement of the helices and loop on the opposite side of the NAF/FISL motif from the C-terminal region, which shields the hydrophobic crevice in free form. Ca(2+) are coordinated within four EF hands in AtCBL2 in bound form. This calcium coordination pattern differs from that in the structure of the SOS3-SOS2 complex previously reported. Structural comparison of the two structures shows that the recognition of CBL by CIPK is performed in a similar manner, but inherent interactions confer binding affinity and specificity.

Fig. 3. Representation of the four EF-hand motifs (EF-1, EF-2, EF-3, and EF-4). (a) Amino acid residues involved in calcium coordination are shown. Calcium ions and water molecules are represented as big and small balls, respectively. (b) Superimposed structures of each EF hand in the bound and free forms. EF-1 and EF-4 are well superimposed, but EF-2 and EF-3 are deviated.

Fig. 4. Interactions between AtCBL2 and the regulatory domain of AtCIPK14. (a) The N-lobe, C-lobe, and C-terminal region interacting with the NAF/FISL motif are in yellow, green, and blue, respectively. The NAF/FISL motif is represented as a red ribbon. The NAF/FISL motif binds along the crevice of AtCBL2. Dashed lines correspond to hydrogen bonds. (b) Close-up view of the interaction between the CBL–NAF/FISL motif and the regulatory domain. Hydrogen bonds are shown with dashed lines (stereo). (c) Pull-down assay of His-tagged AtCBL2 with the regulatory domain of AtCIPK14 of wild type and mutants.
