CALCINEURIN (CaN) is a calcium- and ca 1modulin-dependent protein serine/threonine phosphatase which is critical for several important cellular processes, including T-cell activation1. CaN is the target of the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin A and FK506, which inhibit CaN after forming complexes with cyto-plasmic binding proteins (cyclophilin and FKBP12, respectively)2. We report here the crystal structures of full-length human CaN at 2.1 Å resolution and of the complex of human CaN with…

It is shown here that the binding of CaM to CN may affect the conformation of CN at both the CaM-binding and the autoinhibitory domains and that this is critical for activation of CN to dephosphorylate NF-AT.

It is shown here that a region within the catalytic subunit that regulates phosphatase activity, the autoinhibitory domain, also regulates the Ca(2+)-dependent interaction of calcineurin with the FK-506, an essential component of the T-cell receptor signal transduction pathway.

Kinetic analysis showed that although the purified mutants had no activity in the absence of calcium, they were less dependent than the wild-type enzyme on calcium and calmodulin for activity, consistent with synergistic activation of calcineurin by Ca acting through both CaM and the B subunit.

In all inhibition assays with [32P]casein or [Ser(32P)15]RII, the concentration of calcineurin required for measurable phosphatase activity is such that these complexes behave as tight-binding inhibitors of calcinesurin, and steady-state kinetics cannot be used to assess inhibition patterns or Ki values.
