Figure 6. Formation of the Annexin I Binding Surface from Calcium Binding to Apo-S100A11Accessible surface area representations of apo-S100A11 (A) and calcium-bound S100A11 (B) in complex with annexin I (Rety et al., 2000). Each protein is oriented approximately 90° with respect to that shown in Figure 4. In both molecules, residues in S100A11 that directly interact (<5 Å) with annexin I are indicated and colored dark blue and those whose side chain exposure increases by >20% upon calcium binding but have less interaction are colored cyan. For apo-S100A11 (A), many of these residues have less than 20% of their side chains accessible to the surface and are disjoint on the surface of the protein. In the calcium-bound structure (B), most residues that contact the annexin I peptide increase their side chain-accessible surface areas by >20% as shown in Figure 5C to form a contiguous site for the annexin interaction (dark blue). To facilitate comparison, all sequence numbers correspond to those of rabbit S100A11.
