Similar to calmodulins, the calcium-binding EF hands in centrins fold into two structurally similar domains separated by an alpha-helical linker region, shaping like a dumbbell. The small size (15-22 kDa) and domain organization of centrins and their functional diversity/specialization make them an ideal system to study protein structure-function relationship. Here, we review the work on centrins with a focus on their structures and functions characterized in unicellular organisms. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. | Source Title: | Protoplasma | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/102414 | ISSN: | 0033183X | DOI: | 10.1007/s00709-011-0305-2 |
