Figure 1. (Top) A stereo view of CaM superpositions based on C-
positions
of the N-terminal domains (residues 9-71). The C. elegans CaM
(PDB code: 1OOJ) is shown as an orange ribbon with silver
calcium spheres. The N- and C-termini are labeled. The other
CaM's are shown in one color with smaller ribbons and spheres:
3CLN,[8] white; 4CLN,[9] lavender; 1CLL,[10] yellow; 1OSA,[12]
green; 1EXR,[13] cyan. (Bottom) A close-up of the central
helices with the same coloring and superposition as above. The
helical centers were fitted to a circle to determine the radius
of curvature (116 Å for C. elegans CaM). The circular arcs
in cyan (1EXR, radius 63 Å) and yellow (1CLL, radius 72
Å) show the fits for the atomic-resolution fungal and
human CaM, respectively.
