Abstract

The regulation and localization of the neuronal voltage gated Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 is important for synaptic plasticity associated with learning and memory. The cytoskeletal protein, α-actinin-1 is known to interact with CaV1.2 and stabilize its localization at the postsynaptic membrane. Here we report both backbone and sidechain NMR assignments for the C-terminal EF-hands (EF3 and EF4) of α-actinin-1 (residues 824–892, called ACTN_EF34) bound to the IQ-motif (residues 1644–1665) from CaV1.2 (BMRB accession no. 25902).
