title: A Ca2+-dependent tryptic cleavage site and a protein kinase A phosphorylation site are present in the Ca2+ regulatory domain of scallop muscle Na+-Ca2+ exchanger.
abstract: Digestion of scallop muscle membrane fractions with trypsin led to release of soluble polypeptides derived from the large cytoplasmic domain of a Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger. In the presence of 1 mm Ca(2+), the major product was a peptide of approximately 37 kDa, with an N terminus corresponding to residue 401 of the NCX1 exchanger. In the presence of 10 mm EGTA, approximately 16- and approximately 19-kDa peptides were the major products. Polyclonal rabbit IgG raised against the 37-kDa peptide also bound to the 16- and 19-kDa soluble tryptic peptides and to a 105-110-kDa polypeptide in the undigested membrane preparation. The 16-kDa fragment corresponded to the N-terminal part of the 37-kDa peptide. The conformation of the precursor polypeptide chain in the region of the C terminus of the 16-kDa tryptic peptide was thus altered by the binding of Ca(2+). Phosphorylation of the parent membranes with the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A and [gamma-(32)P]ATP led to incorporation of (32)P into the 16- and 37-kDa soluble fragments. A site may exist within the Ca(2+) regulatory domain of a scallop muscle Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger that mediates direct modulation of secondary Ca(2+) regulation by cAMP.
