Abstract

The present invention provides a composition comprising i) a polypeptide comprising calmodulin and two immunoglobulin superfamily domains, wherein said two immunoglobulin superfamily domains are linked via said calmodulin; ii) a calmodulin binding molecule; iii) ions binding to the Ca2+ binding site of calmodulin; wherein the binding of said calmodulin-binding molecule and of said ions to said Ca2+ binding site of calmodulin affects the binding of said polypeptide to an antigen to be bound by said polypeptide. The calmodulin may be a permutated calmodulin. A method for affecting the binding of a polypeptide for an antigen using said composition is also disclosed.
