X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STUDY OF CALCIUM-SATURATED N-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF TROPONIN C
Overview
We have solved and refined the crystal and molecular structures of the calcium-saturated N-terminal domain of troponin C (TnC) to 1.75 A resolution. This has allowed for the first detailed analysis of the calcium binding sites of this molecular switch in the calcium-loaded state. The results provide support for the proposed binding order and qualitatively, for the affinity of calcium in the two regulatory calcium binding sites. Based on a comparison with the high-resolution apo-form of TnC we propose a possible mechanism for the calcium-mediated exposure of a large hydrophobic surface that is central to the initiation of muscle contraction within the cell.
About this Structure
1AVS is a Single protein structure of sequence from Gallus gallus with as ligand. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
