Oncomodulin and Parvalbumin

displayed: Ca2+-oncomodulin in cyan (1RRO); Ca2+-parvalbumin in blue (3PAT).
 
Oncomodulin and parvalbumin contain three EF-hands, of which the first is nonfunctional and unpaired.  The helices of EF1 are antiparallel to each other.  EF2 and EF3 are positioned similarly to the open conformation observed in Ca2+-CaM and Ca2+-TnC.  The second helix of EF3 is one residue shorter than the standard used for all VGM calculations shown here, thus the corresponding value of omega is not valid.

BM-40 (osteonectin)

displayed: Ca2+-BM40 (1BMO).
 
Extracellular BM40's two EF-hands are positioned similarly to those of Ca2+-CaM, even though the interhelical loop of EF1 contains a one-residue insertion.  The second helices of both EF-hands are shorter than the standard length used in VGM calculations; omega values are not valid.

Sarcoplasmic Calcium-binding Protein (SCP)

displayed: Ca2+-SCP (2SCP).
 
SCP contains four EF-hands, of which EF1, EF3 and EF4 bind Ca2+ in the structure shown; all SCPs bind Ca2+ at EF1 and EF3, and some bind at EF2 instead of EF4.  The lack of Ca2+ ion at EF2 may be energetically unfavourable for the helical arrangement of the N-terminal domain, resulting in the unusual positions of EF1 and EF2; EF3 and EF4 are situated as in the open conformation of Ca2+-CaM.

Eps15 homology domain 2 (EH2)

displayed: Ca2+-EH2 (1EH2).
 
EH2 contains two EF-hands; only EF2 binds Ca2+.  The length of the interhelical loop of EF1 is one residue shorter than the consensus sequence.  Both EF-hands are similarly positioned as in the closed conformation.

Phospholipase C-delta 1 (PLC-D1)

displayed: apo-PLC-D1 (2ISD).
 
PLC-D1 consists of several domains, including a domain containing four EF-hands.  EF1 and EF2 bind Ca2+, although EF1 is not shown as it is disordered in the structure.  Collectively the EF-hand positions are not similar to either open or closed conformations; interestingly, similar interaction of the EF-hand domain with the C2 domain occurs in PLC-D1 as is observed in the Ca2+-CaM-CaMKII peptide complex.

NB: values obtained using apo-CaM EF1 (as in refcam.pdb) as the reference EF-hand.
