13C and 113Cd NMR studies of the chelation of metal ions by the calcium binding protein parvalbumin.
13C NMR spectra are presented for the calcium binding protein parvalbumin (pI 4.25) from carp muscle in several different metal bound forms: with Ca2+ in both the CD and EF calcium binding sites, with Cd2+ in both sites, with 113Cd2+ in both sites, and with 113Cd2+ in the CD site and Lu3+ in the EF site. The different metals differentially shift the 13C NMR resonances of the protein ligands involved in chelation of the metal ion. In addition, direct 13C-113Cd spin-spin coupling is observed which allows the assignment of protein carbonyl and carboxyl 13C NMR resonances to ligands directly interacting with the metal ions in the CD and EF binding sites. The displacement of 113Cd2+ from the EF site by Lu3+ further allows these resonances to be assigned to the CD or EF site. The occupancy of the two sites in the two cadmium species and in the mixed Cd2+/Lu3+ species is verified by 113Cd NMR. The resolution in these 113Cd NMR spectra is sufficient to demonstrate direct interaction between the two metal binding sites.
