New structural and functional contexts of the Dx[DN]xDG linear motif: insights into evolution of calcium-binding proteins. by Daniel J Rigden, Duncan D Woodhead, Prudence W H Wong, Michael Y Galperin

“…It is known that diverse families--EF-hands being one of at least twelve--use a Dx[DN]xDG linear motif to bind calcium in near-identical fashion. Here, four novel structural contexts for the motif are described. Existing experimental data for one of them, a thermophilic archaeal subtilisin, demonstrate for the first time a role for Dx[DN]xDG-bound calcium in protein folding. …”
