Crystal structure of Ca2+/Calmodulin complexed with myristoylated CAP-23/NAP-22 peptide

Contents 1 Overview 2 Disease 3 About this Structure 4 Reference

Overview

A variety of viral and signal transduction proteins are known to be myristoylated. Although the role of myristoylation in protein-lipid interaction is well established, the involvement of myristoylation in protein-protein interactions is less well understood. CAP-23/NAP-22 is a brain-specific protein kinase C substrate protein that is involved in axon regeneration. Although the protein lacks any canonical calmodulin (CaM)-binding domain, it binds CaM with high affinity. The binding of CAP-23/NAP-22 to CaM is myristoylation dependent and the N-terminal myristoyl group is directly involved in the protein-protein interaction. Here we show the crystal structure of Ca2+-CaM bound to a myristoylated peptide corresponding to the N-terminal domain of CAP-23/NAP-22. The myristoyl moiety of the peptide goes through a hydrophobic tunnel created by the hydrophobic pockets in the N- and C-terminal domains of CaM. In addition to the myristoyl group, several amino-acid residues in the peptide are important for CaM binding. This is a novel mode of binding and is very different from the mechanism of binding in other CaM-target complexes.
