Lanmodulin (LanM) is a high-affinity lanthanide (Ln)-binding protein recently identified in Methylobacterium extorquens, a bacterium that requires Lns for the function of at least two enzymes. LanM possesses four EF-hands, metal coordination motifs generally associated with CaII binding, but it unde...
