CaM_binding Plant calmodulin-binding domain
SMART ACC:	SM001054
Description:	The sequences featured in this family are found repeated in a number of plant calmodulin-binding proteins (such as Q8W235 Q84ZT8 and Q8H6X1), and are thought to constitute the calmodulin-binding domains (PUBMED:12825696), (PUBMED:11684678). Binding of the proteins to calmodulin depends on the presence of calcium ions (PUBMED:12825696), (PUBMED:11684678). These proteins are thought to be involved in various processes, such as plant defence responses (PUBMED:12825696) and stolonisation or tuberization (PUBMED:11684678) .
