This domain is found at the N-terminal end of Myosin A tail domain interacting protein from Plasmodium falciparum (MTIP) and in similar eukaryotic sequences. MTIP is one of the proteins that empower host cell invasion. This domain adopts an EF hand configuration [1-5].
The EF-hands can be divided into two classes: signalling proteins and buffering/transport proteins. The first group is the largest and includes the most well-known members of the family such as calmodulin, troponin C and S100B. These proteins typica ...
The EF-hands can be divided into two classes: signalling proteins and buffering/transport proteins. The first group is the largest and includes the most well-known members of the family such as calmodulin, troponin C and S100B. These proteins typically undergo a calcium-dependent conformational change which opens a target binding site. The latter group is represented by calbindin D9k and do not undergo calcium dependent conformational changes.
