Figure 1. The RYR1 Target Presents Hydrophobic Anchors on Opposite Faces of a Helix
(A) Alignment of CaM binding-site residues 3614–3643 of human RYR1 with rat and zebrafish RYR1 sequences and human RYR2 and RYR3 sequences. Residues identical in at least four sequences are in boldface.
(B) Electron density for the target peptide is well defined. Stereo pair of electron density from the final 2F[o] − F[c] composite omit map, contoured at 1.5 σ, at the target peptide (Trp3621–Arg3630). The final model is superimposed on the map.
(C) The 1-17 anchor spacing positions the lobes of CaM on opposite sides of the helical target. Two views of a ribbon diagram representation of the Ca^2+CaM/RYR1 peptide complex. CaM is drawn in blue, the RYR1 peptide in white, and the four calcium atoms are shown in red. The side chains of the RYR1 hydrophobic residues that anchor the two lobes of CaM are shown as sticks. Images were generated in PyMOL (DeLano Scientific).
