Calcium ion (Ca2+)-induced functional expression of calmodulin (CaM), which is a signal transmitter in living cell, is known to be associated with its conformation change; however, it is difficult to correlate the conformational change and functional

The vertebrate calmodulin is configured with two structurally independent globular lobes in N- and C-terminus, and a flexible central linker. Distinctly, two lobes of calmodulin from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yCaM) interact and influence the Ca(2+)-b

We determined the solution structures of the calmodulin (CaM) isoform from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yCaM) in the calcium-bound form and in complex with a target peptide using NMR spectroscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). yCaM shows

Calcineurin is a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase that plays important roles in the transduction of calcium signals in a variety of tissues. In addition, calcineurin has been implicated in the process of spermatogenesis. A novel calci

Calmodulin (CaM), a Ca(2+)-binding protein, is a well-known regulator of various cellular functions. One of the targets of CaM is metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7), which serves as a low-pass filter for glutamate in the pre-synaptic terminal

The actomyosin cytoskeleton plays prominent roles in cell spreading and migration. To address the roles of myosin II isoforms and to estimate the region where the myosin IIs are activated in spreading cells, we examined the immunolocalization of myos

Fortilin, a 172-amino-acid polypeptide present both in the cytosol and nucleus, possesses potent anti-apoptotic activity. Although fortilin is known to bind Ca2+, the biochemistry and biological significance of such an interaction remains unknown. In

To function in the cell, nonmuscle myosin II molecules assemble into filaments through their C-terminal tails. Because myosin II isoforms most likely assemble into homo-filaments in vivo, it seems that some self-recognition mechanisms of individual m

All vertebrate cells, including muscle cells, contain nonmuscle myosin II which plays a role in a number of cell motility processes. Dynamic filament assembly-disassembly transition of myosin II molecules is particularly important in nonmuscle cells.

The interaction between calmodulin (CaM) and Al(3+) was studied by spectroscopic methods. Heteronuclear two-dimensional NMR data indicated that peaks related to the both lobes and middle of the central helix of CaM are largely affected by Al(3+). But
