“…Domain V is an unusual, hydrophobic, Gly-rich sequence that did not diffract in X-ray crystallography (Strobl et al, 2000). Studies with calpains lacking domain V, as well as with synthetic peptides mimicking parts of this domain, suggested a role of domain V in the interaction of calpain with membranes (Imajoh et al, 1986;Crawford et al, 1990;Arthur and Crawford, 1996;Brandenburg et al, 2002;Dennison et al, 2005). Domain III weakly resembles C2 domains, which are Ca 2q -and phospholipid-binding modules found in a number of signalling and membrane trafficking proteins (Rizo and Sudhof, 1998;Cho, 2001).…”
