CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE CALMODULIN-LIKE PROTEIN (HCLP) FROM HUMAN EPITHELIAL CELLS
Overview
A calmodulin (CaM)-like protein (hCLP) is expressed in human mammary, epithelial cells but appears to be limited to certain epithelial cells, such as those found in skin, prostate, breast and cervical tissues. A, decrease in the expression of this protein is associated with the, occurrence of tumors in breast epithelium. The structure of hCLP, determined to 1.5 A resolution by X-ray crystallography shows a distinct, 30 degrees displacement along the interconnecting central helix, when, compared to the highly conserved structure of vertebrate CaM, resulting in, a difference in the relative orientation of its two globular domains., Additionally, the electric surface potential landscape at the target, protein binding regions on the two globular domains of hCLP is, significantly different from those of CaM, indicating that the respective, ranges of hCLP and hCaM target proteins do not fully overlap. Observations, that hCLP can competitively inhibit CaM activation of target proteins also, imply a role for hCLP in which it may also serve as a modulator of CaM, activity in the epithelial cells where hCLP is expressed.
