EF hand-mediated Ca2+- signalling in photoreceptor synaptic terminals
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 Photoreceptors, the light-sensitive receptor neurons of the retina, receive and transmit a plethora of visual informations from the surrounding world. Photoreceptors capture light and convert this energy into electrical signals that are conveyed to the ...

EF-hand motifs of diacylglycerol kinase α interact intra-molecularly with its C1 domains
FEBS Open Bio, 2014 Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) α, which is activated by Ca2+, contains a recoverin homology (RVH) domain, tandem repeats of two Ca2+-binding EF-hand motifs, two cysteine-rich C1 domains and the catalytic domain.

Expression and preliminary characterization of human MICU2
Biology Open, 2016 MICU2 has been reported to interact with MICU1 and participate in the regulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, although the molecular determinants underlying the function of MICU2 is unknown.

Structural Consequences of Calmodulin EF Hand Mutations [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2017 Calmodulin (CaM) is a cytosolic Ca2+-binding protein that serves as a control element for many enzymes. It consists of two globular domains, each containing two EF hand pairs capable of binding Ca2+, joined by a flexible central linker region. CaM is able to bind and activate its target proteins in the Ca2+-replete and Ca2+-deplete forms.
