Figure 1. CaM-binding domain of MARCKS-related proteins. a, Schematic diagram of mouse MARCKS domain structure. The conventional full sequence of CaM-binding domain including basic cluster regions is shown. Sequences of 19-residue peptide are conserved among human, mouse, rat and bovine. Residues whose electron densities were observed in the present structure are underlined. Residues interacting with CaM are colored green for hydrophobic residues, red for basic residues and blue for serine residues. Key hydrophobic residues that interact either solely with N- or C-lobe of CaM -- Phe157 and Leu159 -- are boxed. The known phosphorylation sites are labeled with 'P'. b, Alignment of sequences of CaM-binding region of proteins with similar sequence characteristics. Key hydrophobic residues that may interact with hydrophobic pockets or surfaces are boxed. Conserved basic and hydrophobic residues are shown in red and green, respectively. Sequences shown are MLP (residues 87 -100)2, DAKAP200 (residues 128 -141)39, ADD1 (residues 717 -737)26, AKAP79 (residues 31 -52)28, RALA (residues 183 -200)27 and GRK (residues 20 -39)29.
