- | + | (Find functions of calmodulin) Calmodulin's target proteins come in various shapes, sizes and sequences and are involved in a wide array of functions. For example, calcium-bound calmodulin forms a critical subunit for the regulatory enzyme phosphorylase kinase, which in turn is a regulator for glycogen breakdown. Calmodulin also binds and activates other kinases and phosphatases that play significant roles in cell signaling, ion transport and cell death. One common theme in the contact between calmodulin and its different target proteins is the use of non-polar interactions, in particular, through the interactions with the unusually abundant methionines of calmodulin. Calcium binding exposes these non-polar surfaces of calmodulin, which then bind to non-polar regions on the target proteins. | |

- | + | NMR studies clearly show that the connector between the two calcium binding globular domains is flexible even when it is not bound to its target proteins. However, the full range of flexibility can be seen in calmodulin's interactions with its target proteins. Calmodulin typically wraps around its target, with the two globular domains gripping either side of it. | |
