CALCIUM-FREE CALMODULIN
Overview
The three-dimensional structure of calmodulin in the absence of Ca2+ has, been determined by three- and four-dimensional heteronuclear NMR, experiments, including ROE, isotope-filtering combined with reverse, labelling, and measurement of more than 700 three-bond J-couplings. In, analogy with the Ca(2+)-ligated state of this protein, it consists of two, small globular domains separated by a flexible linker, with no stable, direct contacts between the two domains. In the absence of Ca2+, the four, helices in each of the two globular domains form a highly twisted bundle, capped by a short anti-parallel beta-sheet. This arrangement is, qualitatively similar to that observed in the crystal structure of the, Ca(2+)-free N-terminal domain of troponin C.
