In molecular biology, the plant calmodulin-binding domain is a protein domain found repeated in a number of plant calmodulin-binding proteins. These domains are thought to constitute the calmodulin-binding domains of these proteins.[1][2] Binding of the proteins to calmodulin depends on the presence of calcium ions.[1][2] These proteins are thought to be involved in various processes, such as plant defence responses [1] and stolonisation or tuberization.[2]
