... to the single canonical EF-hand, there is a ‘hidden’, atypical, non-Ca2+-binding EF-hand motif that stabilizes the intramolecular inter-action between the canonical EF-hand and the SAMdomain. ... A single EF-hand isolated from STIM1 forms dimer in the absence and presence of Ca2+Yun Huang, Yubin Zhou, Hing-Cheung Wong, Yanyi Chen, Yan Chen, Siming Wang,Adriana Castiblanco, Aimin ... lumen are sensed by the canonical EF-hand motif and cause conformational changes in this motif. The Ca2+signal change and the accompa-nying conformational change in the canonical EF-hand are...
