| The IQ motif occurs in myosins and non-myosins proteins. It is sequence with the general consensus IQX(3)RGX(3)R. Structural studies show that the IQ motif adopts and α-helical conformation, with partial or no amphipathicity with a net positive charge. The motif often occurs as multiple tandem repeats in myosins and in some non-myosins proteins. It is sometimes the target of phosphorylation by PKC or PKA proteins. |
