=== Ca2+ binding-site ===

CRP is a calcium dependent structure. Effectively, Ca2+ is required for PC binding, and more precisely for the formation of the PC binding site thanks to structural rearrangements. The protection against denaturation and proteolysis is performed through Ca2+ binding too. In the absence of Ca2+, hCRP is cleaved between Asn145 and Phe146 by nagarse protease, and between Phe146 and Glu147 by pronase.

Asp60, Asn61, Glu138, Asp140 and the main-chain carbonyl of Gln139 residues allow the first calcium ion binding, and the second is performed through Glu138, Asp140, Glu147 and Gln150 <ref name="ramadan">Ramadan, M. A. M., Shrive, A. K., Holden, D., Myles, D. A. A., Volanakis, J. E., Larry J.DeLucas, L. J., Greenhough, T. J.

The two Ca2+-binding sites are overlapping in a loop. In the absence of Ca2+, the loop changes conformaion and releases the proteolysis site. Therefore Ca2+ protects CRP form proteolytic cleavage <ref name="agrawal"/>.
