Correction to “Ca2+ regulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors: can Ca2+ function without calmodulin?”
In the above article [Rossi AM and Taylor CW (2004) Mol Pharmacol66:199–203], Fig. 1 was inadvertently printed in black white. The color figure appears below. The online version has been corrected in departure from the print version.
A–C, Ca2+ binding to CaM. A, structure of the C-terminal lobe of CaM with Ca2+ bound (PDB code 4CLN). B, Ca2+-binding loop of the third EF hand of CaM; the residue mutated to produce CaM with much reduced affinity for Ca2+ is shown in red. C, structures of apoCaM (blue; PDB code 1CFC) and Ca2+-CaM (red; PDB code 3CLN). D–F, regulation of Ca2+ channels by CaM. D, CaM tethered in the C-terminal tail of the L-type Ca2+ channels binds Ca2+ and thereby acquires the ability to interact with a second CaM-binding site through which CDI is initiated. E, for non–L-type Ca2+ channels the two lobes of Ca2+ are positioned to respond to different Ca2+ signals, the C-lobe preferentially detects Ca2+ (red) passing through the channel, whereas the N-lobe responds to global Ca2+ signals (blue). F, in RyR1, the tethered C-lobe of CaM moves toward the N-terminal of a CaM-binding region when it binds Ca2+ (pink), whereas the N-lobe interacts with a site on a neighboring subunit. The C-lobe provides the essential Ca2+ sensor and its movement leads to channel inhibition, possibly by causing rearrangement of the interactions between the subunits. The Cys residues that also mediate cross-linking of subunits are also shown.
