Calmodulin and Calcium-release Channels

Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in regulating cellular functions by altering the activity of a large number of ion channels. There are many examples for CaM directly mediating the feedback effects of Ca2+ on Ca2+ channels. Recently the molecular mechanis...

description Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in regulating cellular functions by altering the activity of a large number of ion channels. There are many examples for CaM directly mediating the feedback effects of Ca2+ on Ca2+ channels. Recently the molecular mechanisms by which CaM interacts with voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Ca2+-activated K+ channels and ryanodine receptors have been clarified. CaM plays an important role in regulating these ion channels through lobe-specific Ca2+ detection. CaM seems to behave as a channel subunit. It binds at low [Ca2+] and undergoes conformational changes upon binding of Ca2+, leading to an interaction with another part of the channel to regulate its gating.
