The most diverged fragments in the C-terminal CH domain of alpha-parvin correspond to 1) an <scene name='User:Marcin_Jozef_Suskiewicz/Sandbox_Parvin//Parvin_overlap/3'>additional helix</scene> (so called N-terminal linker helix; it is labelled αN or helix N) located at the N-terminal end of the domain and not observed in any other CH domain and 2) a <scene name='User:Marcin_Jozef_Suskiewicz/Sandbox_Parvin//Parvin_overlap/5'>long loop</scene> between two helices (αC and αE). One could ask whether the N-terminal linker helix is an integral part of the C-terminal CH domain or just a part of a linker region between the two CH domains. The fact that it interacts strongly with the core helices by means of both electrostatic (<scene name='Alpha-parvin/Parvin_overlap/1'>residues D248, D251 and D255 with K355 and R359</scene>) and hydrophobic (<scene name='Alpha-parvin/Parvin_overlap/4'>residues F250, L253 and F254 with L354, K355, L358, R359, K260 and L261</scene>) interactions suggests that it is indeed integral to the domain. The long loop mentioned above contains a <scene name='User:Marcin_Jozef_Suskiewicz/Sandbox_Parvin//Parvin_overlap/6'>3-amino acid insertion</scene> (313-315) relative to other known CH domains and differs in conformation between different structures of alpha-parvin, suggesting it is relatively flexible.<ref>PMID: 18940607</ref> Interestingly, these two regions, the N-terminal linker helix and the long loop, are involved in binding of alpha-parvin to its binding partners, paxillin and ILK respectively.

<Structure load='Complex_parvin.pdb' size='340' scene='Alpha-parvin/Parvin/2' frame='true' align='right' caption='The alignment of three C-terminal CH domains of alpha-parvin bound to different paxillin LD motifs ([[2vzd]], [[2vzg]], [[2vzi]])'/>
 
===Paxillin binding===
===Paxillin binding===
The <scene name='Alpha-parvin/Parvin/2'>scene on the right</scene> shows the superimposition of the three conformations that alpha-parvin adopts when bound to paxillin LD motifs, LD1 ([[2vzd]]), LD2 ([[2vzg]]) and LD4 ([[2vzi]]) respectively. These three LD motifs differ in sequence, but they are all helical. Surprisingly, the orientation of LD1 binding is reversed compared to that of LD2 and LD4. One of the LD motifs (LD1) is shown in the scene, represented by a blue helix. LD2 and LD4 are not shown, but they bind in the same location. As you can see, all three peptides, despite different sequences and different binding orientations, induce a very similar conformation of alpha-parvin, as represented by a very good alignment of the three alpha-parvin structures coloured differently. In particular, residues 248 to 264, which experience conformational change upon binding, are similar in all complexes with RMSD values of 0.28 Å (LD1 versus LD2), 0.23 Å (LD1 versus LD4), and 0.15 Å (LD2 versus LD4) in 16 equivalent C<sup>α</sup> positions.<ref>PMID: 18940607</ref>
