Calbindin D9k, Calcyclin and S100B

p11 and psoriasin structures not represented below; p11 VGM parameters    psoriasin VGM parameters

displayed: apo-calbindin (1CLB), apo-calcyclin (2CNP) and apo-S100B (1B4C) EF-hands in green; Ca2+-bound calbindin (1B1G), Ca2+-bound calcyclin (refined structure from WJ Chazin) and Ca2+-S100B (1QLK) EF-hands in cyan.
 
EF-hands of these S100 proteins in both Ca2+-free and Ca2+-loaded forms exhibit similar conformations, given by the small ranges of theta and phi.  The exceptions are EF2 of calcyclin and S100B, the helices of which are unusually positioned in the Ca2+-free state: in fact, helix 1 (here in white) is the one that undergoes a significant change back to a more 'typical' S100 EF-hand arrangement.  The second helix of these EF-hands are involved in the dimer interface.  Calbindin D9k is the only known monomeric and most evolutionarily distant member of the S100 subfamily of proteins.  The EF-hands undergo virtually no structural change upon binding Ca2+.
