title: Calmodulin interaction with peptides from G-protein coupled receptors measured with S-Tag labeling.
abstract: We have developed a quantitative assay of calmodulin (CaM) binding to S-Tag labeled peptides derived from G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) sequences. CaM binding of peptides derived from the third intracellular loop (i3) of mu opioid receptor (MOR) was confirmed and the CaM-binding motif refined. A MORi3 peptide with a Lys > Ala substitution--shown to reduce CaM-binding of intact MOR--bound fivefold less avidly than the wild-type peptide. Screening peptides derived from i3 loops of other GPCR families confirmed 5HT1A, and identified muscarinic receptor 3, and melanocortin receptor 1, as proteins carrying CaM-binding domains. The use of S-Tag labeling can serve for rapid screening of putative CaM-binding domains in GPCRs.
