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… CONTINUE READING
