New structural and functional contexts of the Dx[DN]xDG linear motif: insights into evolution of calcium-binding proteins. by Daniel J Rigden, Duncan D Woodhead, Prudence W H Wong, Michael Y Galperin

“…Among the known structural contexts for the Dx[DN]xDG motif, only the calcium blade and the EF-hand are currently found intracellularly in large numbers, perhaps because the higher extracellular concentration of Ca²⁺ allows for easier fixing of newly evolved motifs that have acquired useful functions. The analysis presented here will inform ongoing efforts toward prediction of similar calcium-binding motifs from sequence information alone.…”
