Abstract

The 3-dimensional crystal structure of oncomodulin from X-ray analysis reveals that it is quite similar to that of parvalbumin (F. Ahmed et al., in preparation). Oncomodulin has three domains composed of helix:metal-binding loop:helix arranged in a similar way to parvalbumin (Moews and Kretsinger 1975). This was not unexpected because it was known that oncomodulin and parvalbumin share 50% identical amino acid sequence, and an additional 30% conservative residue replacement (MacManus et al., 1987). Also both the circular dichroic and proton NMR spectra suggested the existence of great similarity of secondary structure (MacManus et al., 1984; Williams et al., 1987).
