Binding Loop

S100 proteins are a group of small dimeric calcium-binding proteins making up a large subclass of the EF-hand family of calcium-binding proteins. Members of this family of proteins have been proposed to act as intracellular calcium modulatory proteins in a fashion analogous to that of the EF-hand sensor proteins troponin-C and calmodulin. Recently, NMR spectroscopy has provided the three-dimensional structures of the S100 family members S100A6 and S100B in both the apo- and calcium-bound forms. These structures have allowed for the identification of a novel calcium-induced conformational change termed the change-in-hand mechanism. Helix III of the C-terminal calcium-binding loop changes its helix-helix interactions (or handness) with the remainder of the molecule primarily owing to the reorientation of the backbone in an effort to coordinate the calcium ion. This reorientation of helix III exposes several residues in the C-terminus and linker regions of S100B resulting in the formation of a hydrophobic patch surrounded be a number of acidic residues. This site is the proposed region for protein-protein recognition.Key words: S100, calcium-binding protein, EF-hand, conformational change.

The flagellum of Trypanosoma brucei contains calmodulin, and a separate family of antigenically related EF-hand calcium-binding proteins which we call calflagins. The following study evaluates the structure and genomic organization of the calflagin family. Genomic Southern blots indicated that multiple copies of calflagin genes occurred in T. brucei, and that all of these copies were contained in a single 23 kb XhoI-XhoI fragment on chromosomes 15 and 16 mRNAs of 1.2 and 1.6 kb were identified in bloodstream and procyclic life-cycle stages. Genomic fragments of 2.5 and 1.7 kb were cloned that encoded calflagin sequences. The calflagin genes were arranged tandemly along the genomic fragments. Three new members of the calflagin family were sequenced from a cDNA clone and the two genomic clones. Two unrelated families of 3′ flanking sequences were downstream from the calflagin genes. An open reading frame that was unrelated to any calflagin sequence was at the 5′ end of the 2.5 kb genomic fragment. The deduced amino acid sequences of the genomic clones (called Tb-24 and Tb-1.7g) were similar to the previously described Tb-17. Each encoded an approximately 24 kDa protein which contained three EF-hand calcium-binding motifs and one degenerate EF-hand motif. The cDNA encoded a protein (called Tb-44A) which was approximately twice as large as the other calflagins. The large size resulted from a nearly direct repeat of 186 amino acids. In general, variability among the T. brucei calflagins was greater than observed for related proteins from Trypanosoma cruzi. We demonstrate that this variability resulted from amino acid substitutions at the N-terminus, C-terminal extensions, and duplication of internal segments.
