Chicken Calmodulin
Structural highlights
FunctionCALM_CHICK Calmodulin mediates the control of a large number of enzymes, ion channels and other proteins by Ca(2+). Among the enzymes to be stimulated by the calmodulin-Ca(2+) complex are a number of protein kinases and phosphatases. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedTwo new crystal forms of calmodulin from Gallus gallus are reported. Crystals in space group P1 (cell dimensions a = 59.7, b = 53.1, c = 24.6 A, alpha = 93.2, beta = 96.7, gamma = 89.2 and Z = 2), grow as long thin needles. Water content on density considerations is approximately 50%. They diffract to approximately 2.0 A but give wide multiply peaked spot profiles. Crystals in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) (cell dimensions a = 32.2, b = 56.0, c = 67.3 A and Z = 4), grow as clusters of thin tablets and contain approximately 30% water by volume. These small crystals ( approximately 0.4 x 0.15 x 0.1 mm) diffracted well to approximately 1.4 A and some appreciable intensities were observed at resolutions better than 1.2 A.
