STRUCTURE OF THE REGULATORY DOMAIN OF SCALLOP MYOSIN AT 2.8 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
|
OverviewOverview
The regulatory domain of scallop myosin is a three-chain protein complex, that switches on this motor in response to Ca2+ binding. This domain has, been crystallized and the structure solved to 2.8 A resolution. Side-chain, interactions link the two light chains in tandem to adjacent segments of, the heavy chain bearing the IQ-sequence motif. The Ca(2+)-binding site is, a novel EF-hand motif on the essential light chain and is stabilized by, linkages involving the heavy chain and both light chains, accounting for, the requirement of all three chains for Ca2+ binding and regulation in the, intact myosin molecule.
