Figure 1.
Figure 1. (a) Schematic of the domain structure of CDPK. The regulatory apparatus is comprised of the Junction region (J) and the calmodulin-like domain (CaM-LD). (b) Ribbon diagram of the crystal structure of the regulatory apparatus of CDPK showing the homodimeric organization observed. The two molecules are coloured in red and blue, respectively. The J region of each monomer depicted in a darker colour is observed interacting with the partner molecule in a domain swap interaction. The inset depicts these interactions schematically. (c) Overlay of the amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal calcium-binding sub-domains of the CaM-LD (N-lobe and C-lobe, respectively). The root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of C^α atoms for the overlay is 0.9 Å. The models are complete except for residues 428–432, 556–562, 588–591 from protomer A and residues 428–432, 551–566, 588–591 from protomer B.
