title: Interaction of chromogranin B and the near N-terminal region of chromogranin B with an intraluminal loop peptide of the inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate receptor.
abstract: Given the interaction of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) with chromogranins A (CGA) and B (CGB), two major Ca(2+) storage proteins of secretory granules that have been shown to be IP(3)-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) store of neuroendocrine cells, we have investigated the potential interaction of the intraluminal loop regions of the IP(3)R with both intact CGB and the conserved near N-terminal region of CGB. The interaction studies carried out with CGB and glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins of intraluminal loop regions of bovine type 1 IP(3)R showed that CGB interacts with intraluminal loop 3-2 (the second loop formed between transmembrane regions 5 and 6) of the IP(3)R at both pH 5.5 and 7.5. Analytical ultracentrifugation studies also indicated that CGB interacts with the same intraluminal loop region of the IP(3)R and the interaction was much stronger than that between CGA and the loop. Moreover, the conserved near N-terminal region of CGB also interacted with the intraluminal loop region of the IP(3)R. The CGB interaction with the IP(3)R intraluminal loop peptide at pH 7.5 showed a DeltaG(0) value of -8.1 kcal/mol at 37 degrees C for a 1:1 stoichiometry, indicating a K(d) of approximately 1.9 micrometer. These results give insight into the molecular organization of the IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) store.
