NMR chemical shift assignments for androcam, a testis-specific myosin VI light chain in D. melanogaster

Androcam is a D. melanogaster calmodulin-like protein expressed exclusively in the testis that interacts with myosin VI and is critical to spermatogenesis. At micromolar free Ca(2+), androcam binds two calcium ions using its C-terminal lobe but its N-terminal lobe is Ca(2+)-free. We are pursuing structural studies on androcam at physiological (10 μM) and high (10 mM) calcium. Here we report the (1)H, (15)N, and (13)C chemical shifts of androcam at 10 μM free Ca(2+) determined using multi-dimensional NMR experiments.
