Figure 5. A superposition of CaM on trimer of EhCaBP1 that reveals the similarity of the assembled domain to CaM N-terminal domain. (A) The CaM N-terminal domain (red) was superposed (by least square fit) on assembled domain of EF1 of one molecule (light blue) and EF2 of neighboring molecule (purple) highlights the domain similarity. The distance between N-terminal and C-terminal domains in CaM is approximately equal to the distance between the two assembled domains of EhCaBP1 trimer. But the linker helix in CaM bends about 15° and thus C-terminal domain of CaM do not overlap with the next assembled domain. (B). Magnified view of CaM N-terminal domain (red) superposed on assembled domain of EhCaBP1 trimer (EF1 in blue, EF2 in purple).
