“…In fact, the secondary structure of the annexin I and II N-terminal domains may play an important role in S100 protein binding (45). The p11 binding site on annexin II (amino acids [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] has been shown to form an amphipathic ␣-helix with the hydrophobic amino acids Val-3, Ile-6, Leu-7, and Leu-10, which lie on one face of the helix, representing the major contact sites for p11 (44,46). Additionally, the S100C binding site on annexin I (amino acids 2-18) is predicted to form a similar helix with Met-2, Val-3, Phe-6, and Leu-7 providing potential contacts for S100C (10).…”
