Recoverin is a Ca2+-regulated signal transduction modulator found in vertebrate retina that has been shown to undergo dramatic conformational changes upon Ca2+ binding to its two functional EF-hand motifs. To elucidate the differential impact of the N-terminal myristoylation as well as occupation of the two Ca2+ binding sites on recoverin structure and function, we have investigated a non-myristoylated E85Q mutant exhibiting virtually no Ca2+ binding to EF-2 ...
