The crystal structure of mammalian calmodulin has been refined at 2.2 .ANG. (1 .ANG. = 0.1 nm) resolution using a restrained least-squares method. The final crystallographic R-factor, based on 6685 reflections in the range 2.2 .ANG. .ltoreq. d .ltoreq. 5.0 .ANG. with intensities exceeding 2.5 .sigma., is 0.175. Bond lengths and bond angles in the molecule have root-mean-square deviations from ideal values of 0.016 .ANG. and 1.7.degree., respectively. The refined model includes residues 5 to 147, four Ca2+ and 69 water molecules per molecule of calmodulin. The electron density for residues 1 to 4 and 148 is poorly defined, and they are not included in the model. The molecule is shaped somewhat like a dumbbell, with an overall length of 65 .ANG., the two lobes are connected by a seven-turn .alpha.-helix. Prominent secondary structural features include seven .alpha.-helices, four Ca2+-binding loops, and two short, double-standard antiparallel beta-sheets between pairs of adjacent Ca2+-binding loops. The four Ca2+-binding domains in calmodulin have a typical EF had conformation (helix-loop-helix) and are similar to those described in other Ca2+-binding proteins. The X-ray structure determination of calmodulin shows a large hydrophobic cleft in each half of the molecule. These hydrophobic regions probably represent the sites of interaction with many of the pharmacological agents known to bind to calmodulin.
