Structural Consequences of Calmodulin EF Hand Mutations.
Biochemistry, 56:944-956, 2017

PubMed Abstract: Calmodulin (CaM) is a cytosolic Ca-binding protein that serves as a control element for many enzymes. It consists of two globular domains, each containing two EF hand pairs capable of binding Ca, joined by a flexible central linker region. CaM is able to bind and activate its target proteins in the Ca-replete and Ca-deplete forms. To study the Ca-dependent/independent properties of binding and activation of target proteins by CaM, CaM constructs with Ca-binding disrupting mutations of Asp to Ala at position one of each EF hand have been used. These CaM mutant proteins are deficient in binding Ca in either the N-lobe EF hands (CaM), C-lobe EF hands (CaM), or all four EF hands (CaM). To investigate potential structural changes these mutations may cause, we performed detailed NMR studies of CaM, CaM, and CaM including determining the solution structure of CaM. We then investigated if these CaM mutants affected the interaction of CaM with a target protein known to interact with apoCaM by determining the solution structure of CaM bound to the iNOS CaM binding domain peptide. The structures provide direct structural evidence of changes that are present in these Ca-deficient CaM mutants and show these mutations increase the hydrophobic exposed surface and decrease the electronegative surface potential throughout each lobe of CaM. These Ca-deficient CaM mutants may not be a true representation of apoCaM and may not allow for native-like interactions of apoCaM with its target proteins.
