Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. An N-domain structure comparison between Mlc1p (PDB entry 1M46 (10), green) and apoCaM (PDB entry 1CFD, red). Structure superposition was performed considering backbone atoms belonging to residues of the four helices: 5-14, 26-32, 40-48, and 61-68 (Mlc1p) and 10-19, 31-37, 45-53, and 65-72 (apoCaM). Highlighted are residues that confer special structural features to Mlc1p; Leu-75, that is added to the hydrophobic core of the N-lobe, and Thr-78 and Asn-37, which interact through hydrogen bonds. Asn-37 is a key residue for the regulation of the interaction between the N-lobe and IQ-spanning peptides. B, chemical shift index for C and ^3J[HNH ]measured for helix D and helix D'. C, strips from ^13C- and ^15N-edited NOESY spectra showing the interaction between Thr-78 and Asn-37 and several NOEs from Leu-75 methyl groups.
