Regulation of calmodulin binding to P-57. A neurospecific calmodulin binding protein.
P-57 is a neural-specific calmodulin binding protein with novel calmodulin binding properties. P-57 exhibits higher affinity for calmodulin-Sepharose in the absence of free Ca2+ than in the presence of Ca2+ (Andreasen, T.J., Luetje, C.W., Heideman, W. & Storm, D.R. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4615-4618; Cimler, B. M., Andreasen, T.J., Andreasen, K.I. & Storm, D.R. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 10784-10788). In this study, the dissociation constants for P-57 and immunopurified 5-[[(iodoacetylamino)ethyl]-amino]-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid-labeled calmodulin (AEDANS-CaM) were determined under low and high ionic strength conditions. In the absence of added KCl, the dissociation constants for the P-57 X AEDANS-CaM complex were 2.3 X 10(-7) +/- 6 X 10(-8) M and 1.0 X 10(-6) +/- 3 X 10(-7) M in the presence and absence of excess Ca2+ chelator. The addition of KCl to 150 mM increased the Ca2+-independent and -dependent dissociation constants to 3.4 X 10(-6) +/- 9 X 10(-7) M and 3.0 X 10(-6) +/- 9 X 10(-7) M, respectively. The association of P-57 with AEDANS-CaM under low Ca2+ conditions was determined as a function of KCl concentrations. By taking into account the amount of P-57 found in brain and its affinity for calmodulin, it is concluded that most or all of the CaM would be complexed to P-57 in unstimulated cells. P-57 was phosphorylated by the Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) with a phosphate:protein molar ratio of 1.3. Phosphoamino acid analysis demonstrated phosphorylation at a serine residue. CaM decreased the rate of phosphorylation of P-57 by protein kinase C, and phosphorylation prevented P-57 binding to calmodulin-Sepharose. P-57 was not phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. It is proposed that P-57 binds and localizes calmodulin at specific sites within the cell and that free calmodulin is released locally in response to phosphorylation of P-57 by protein kinase C and/or to increases in intracellular free Ca2+. This regulatory mechanism, which appears to be specific to brain, would serve to decrease the response time for Ca2+-calmodulin-regulated processes.
