FIGURE 5. Schematic of S100A1 function in skeletal muscle. Ca^2+-S100A1 and Ca^2+-CaM bind to an overlapping region of RyR1 (red) in a Ca^2+-dependent manner. S100A1 binding leads to events that enhance SR calcium release. In contrast, calmodulin binding to this CaM binding domain leads to events that reduce SR calcium release. Competition between these two calcium-binding proteins for this target site may regulate SR Ca^2+ release in skeletal muscle. The asterisk close to the Ca^2+-S100A1-RyRP12 structure denotes the location of the residues of RyR that are C-terminal to RyRP12 (residues 3616-3627 of RyR) present in the longer RyR peptide (residues 3614-3643 of RyR), used for structural studies when bound to CaM.
