The interaction of the calcium-binding protein (troponin C) with bivalent cations and the inhibitory protein (troponin I).

ABSTRACT: 1. The molecular weight of the calcium-binding protein of rabbit white skeletal muscle was estimated to be 18500 by sedimentation equilibrium and electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. Addition of 2 Ca(2+) ions per molecule produced reversible changes in the u.v.-absorption spectrum that are interpreted as arising from conformational changes in the structure of the protein. 3. Cd(2+) was almost as effective as Ca(2+) in producing the spectral changes. Other bivalent metal ions, particularly Mg(2+), were less effective. 4. Binding of Ca(2+) by the calcium-binding protein produced an increase in mobility to the anode on electrophoresis in 6m-urea at pH8.6. The Ca(2+)-saturated form of the protein was more retarded on gel filtration than the Ca(2+)-free form. 5. In the presence of Ca(2+) the calcium-binding protein formed an equimolar complex with the inhibitory protein. This complex was stable in 8m-urea and in the pH range 7.0-8.6. 6. An isotope-dilution method for the measurement of the content of calcium-binding protein in whole muscle is described. In rabbit psoas muscle the ratio of actin monomers to molecules of calcium-binding protein was approx. 7:1. Similar values were obtained for red skeletal and cardiac muscle. 7. Evidence is presented indicating that in the rabbit the inhibitory protein of the troponin complex of red skeletal and cardiac muscles is different from the inhibitory protein of white skeletal muscle.

Conformational changes induced by binding of bivalent cations to oncomodulin, a paravalbumin-like tumour protein.

Project description:When Mg2+ was added to rat oncomodulin, a paravalbumin-like tumour protein, changes in the c.d. spectrum and tyrosine fluorescence intensity were observed. The addition of Ca2+ resulted in even greater changes in these spectra. The fluorescence excitation spectra of apo- and Mg-oncomodulin were superimposable, whereas that of Ca-oncomodulin was markedly different. The u.v.-absorption spectrum of the Ca2+ form also showed major differences from those of the other two forms. These observations indicate that Ca2+ induced a significant and specific conformational change in the protein that was not observed on binding Mg2+. In contrast, the conformational change induced by either Mg2+ or Ca2+ was identical in the homologous rat parvalbumin. This Ca2+-specific conformational change may be the basis for oncomodulin's Ca2+-dependent protein/protein interaction.

Effect of bivalent cations on the adenosine triphosphatase of actomyosin and its modification by tropomyosin and troponin.

Project description:1. After removal of tropomyosin and troponin from the ;natural' actomyosin complex, the adenosine triphosphatase activity of the resulting ;desensitized' actomyosin is stimulated to the same extent by various bivalent cations with an ionic radius in the range 0.65-0.99å when tested at optimum concentration of the metal ion in the presence of 2.5mm-ATP at low ionic strength and pH7.6. Under identical conditions the adenosine triphosphatase activity of myosin alone is stimulated to an appreciable extent only by Ca(2+) (ionic radius 0.99å). 2. Tropomyosin narrows the range of size of the stimulatory cations by inhibiting specifically the adenosine triphosphatase activity of ;desensitized' actomyosin when stimulated by Ca(2+) or the slightly smaller Cd(2+) (ionic radius 0.97å). Tropomyosin has no effect on the adenosine triphosphatase activity of ;desensitized' actomyosin when stimulated by the smaller cations, nor on the Ca(2+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase activity of myosin alone. 3. The adenosine triphosphatase activity of the ;natural' actomyosin system (containing tropomyosin and troponin) stimulated by the smallest cation, Mg(2+) (ionic radius 0.65å), is low when the system is deprived of Ca(2+) but high in the presence of small amounts of Ca(2+). This sensitivity to Ca(2+) seems to be a unique feature of the Mg(2+)-stimulated system. 4. The changes in specificity of the myosin adenosine triphosphatase activity in its requirement for bivalent cations caused by interaction with actin, tropomyosin and troponin primarily concern the size of the metal ions. The effects on enzymic properties of myofibrils due to tropomyosin and troponin can be demonstrated at low and at physiological ionic strength.

Phosphorylation of cardiac troponin inhibitory subunit (troponin I) and tropomyosin-binding subunit (troponin T) by cardiac phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase.

Project description:Cardiac phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated cardiac troponin inhibitory subunit (troponin I) and tropomyosin-binding subunit (troponin T), present either as the free form or as the troponin-tropomyosin complex. Exhaustive phosphorylation of troponin I and of troponin T revealed that 1.7 and 2 mol of phosphate was incorporated/mol of the subunits respectively. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, though incorporating 0.8 mol of phosphate/mol of troponin I, was unable to phosphorylate troponin T. Phosphorylation of troponin I (apparent Km = 3.4 microM; Vmax. = 2.6 mumol/min per mg of enzyme) or troponin T (apparent Km = 0.3 microM; Vmax. = 0.5 mumol/min per mg of enzyme) by the Ca2+-dependent enzyme was inhibited by various agents, such as adriamycin, palmitoylcarnitine, trifluoperazine, melittin and N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloronaphthalene-1-sulphonamide (compound W-7). Ca2+ antagonists (such as verapamil), forskolin and ouabain were ineffective. These findings indicate that troponin I and troponin T were effective substrates for this species of Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, suggesting its potential regulatory role in the contractile activity of myofibrils modulated by troponin.

The binding of nucleotides and bivalent cations to the calcium-and-magnesium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase from rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:The binding of MgATP to purified Ca2+Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase from rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was studied by using a flow-dialysis method. Phosphoryl-enzyme formation and catalytic activity were also measured, and all three processes demonstrated negative co-operativity, with half-saturation of all three parameters at a MgATP concentration of 40-50muM, and a Hill coefficient (h) of 0.8. The variation of the binding constant with with pH was measured and showed tighter binding of MgATP with increasing pH over the range 6.8-8.5. Binding parameters for ATP analogues were also measured. The binding of Ca2+ in the presence and absence of ATP analogues gave half saturation at a Ca2+ concentration of 1.2-1.3muM. Hill plots of Ca2+-binding data gave a slope of 0.8. These results show that the binding of MgATP and Ca2+ can occur in a random manner, with neither substrate influencing the affinity of the enzyme for the other.

Binding of calcium and magnesium to human cardiac troponin C.

Project description:Cardiac muscle thin filaments are composed of actin, tropomyosin, and troponin that change conformation in response to Ca2+ binding, triggering muscle contraction. Human cardiac troponin C (cTnC) is the Ca2+-sensing component of the thin filament. It contains structural sites (III/IV) that bind both Ca2+ and Mg2+ and a regulatory site (II) that has been thought to bind only Ca2+. Binding of Ca2+ at this site initiates a series of conformational changes that culminate in force production. However, the mechanisms that underpin the regulation of binding at site II remain unclear. Here, we have quantified the interaction between site II and Ca2+/Mg2+ through isothermal titration calorimetry and thermodynamic integration simulations. Direct and competitive binding titrations with WT N-terminal cTnC and full-length cTnC indicate that physiologically relevant concentrations of both Ca2+/Mg2+ interacted with the same locus. Moreover, the D67A/D73A N-terminal cTnC construct in which two coordinating residues within site II were removed was found to have significantly reduced affinity for both cations. In addition, 1 mM Mg2+ caused a 1.4-fold lower affinity for Ca2+. These experiments strongly suggest that cytosolic-free Mg2+ occupies a significant population of the available site II. Interaction of Mg2+ with site II of cTnC likely has important functional consequences for the heart both at baseline as well as in diseased states that decrease or increase the availability of Mg2+, such as secondary hyperparathyroidism or ischemia, respectively.

Bivalent cations stabilize yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I.

Project description:The thermostability of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) I is strongly dependent on the presence of NaCl, a salt that is almost neutral on the Hofmeister scale, which suggests that solvent-accessible electrostatic repulsion might play a role in the inactivation of the enzyme. Moreover, CaCl2 and MgCl2 are able to stabilize the enzyme at millimolar concentrations. Ca2+ stabilizes yeast ADH I by preventing the dissociation of the reduced form of the enzyme and by preventing the unfolding of the oxidized form of the enzyme. An analysis of several chimaeric ADHs suggests that Ca2+ is fixed by the Asp-236 and Glu-101 side chains in yeast ADH I, but that Ca2+ can be displaced by replacing Met-168 by an Arg residue, as suggested by a three-dimensional model of the enzyme structure. These results indicate that electrostatic repulsion can cause protein unfolding and/or dissociation. It is proposed that yeast ADH I binds Mg2+ in vivo.

Interactions between retinyl phosphate and bivalent cations.

Project description:In the presence of Mn(II) ions, the u.v. absorption spectrum of retinyl phosphate (Ret-P) solubilized in Triton X-100 micelles, phosphatidylcholine liposomes or rat liver microsomes exhibited a shift from the maximum of 330 nm to 287 nm. The effect of Mn(II) was reversed by adding EDTA or phosphate buffer. The same spectral change was found in the presence of poly-L-lysine in place of Mn(II) ions. The e.s.r. spectrum of Mn(II) in the presence or in the absence of Ret-P clearly showed that approx. 75% of the initial concentration of Mn(II) ions is bound to Ret-P when the molar ratio of Ret-P to Mn(II) ions is 4:1; no such binding occurred in the presence of retinol or retinoic acid. The appearance of two isosbestic points at 303 and 368 nm, in the presence of Mn(II) ions, suggests the existence of an equilibrium between an Mn(II)-bound monomer and an Mn(II)-bound dimer of Ret-P in Triton X-100 micelles. The same effect on the u.v.-absorption spectrum of Ret-P was also induced by Co(II), Cr(II), Zn(II) and Fe(II), but not by Mg2+ or Cu(II). The formation of the 'metachromatic complex' between Ret-P and Mn(II) or Co(II) inhibited the synthesis of retinyl phosphate mannose (Ret-P-Man) from exogenous and endogenous Ret-P and guanosine diphosphate [14C]mannose when bovine serum albumin was added after the metal ion. However, the order of addition did not influence Ret-P-Man synthesis in incubations containing MgCl2, which does not form the metachromatic complex with Ret-P. These results suggest that the bioavailability of proteins, polyamines and metal ions may control the extent to which Ret-P can be mannosylated in the intact membrane.

Regulation by bivalent cations of phospholipid binding to the C2A domain of synaptotagmin III.

Project description:Synaptotagmins are Ca2+-and phospholipid-binding proteins of synaptic vesicles that might function as Ca2+ receptors for neurotransmitter release via their first C2 (C2A) domain. Here we describe the effect of Mg2+ on phospholipid binding to the C2A domains of multiple synaptotagmins (II-VI), and demonstrate that only synaptotagmin III can bind negatively charged phospholipids [phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylinositol] in a Mg2+-dependent manner. The Mg2+-dependent interaction with PS was found to have an EC50 of approx. 30 microM Mg2+, which is comparable to that of Sr2+ and Ba2+ (EC50 values of approx. 10 microM). This binding property of the C2A domain is specific to synaptotagmin III, because none of the C2A domains of other proteins, such as rabphilin 3A, Doc2alpha, Doc2beta or Gap1(m), showed phospholipid binding activity in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+. Our results suggest that synaptotagmin III is involved in presynaptic functions different from those of synaptotagmins I and II.

Fast pressure jumps can perturb calcium and magnesium binding to troponin C F29W.

Project description:We have used rapid pressure jump and stopped-flow fluorometry to investigate calcium and magnesium binding to F29W chicken skeletal troponin C. Increased pressure perturbed calcium binding to the N-terminal sites in the presence and absence of magnesium and provided an estimate for the volume change upon calcium binding (-12 mL/mol). We observed a biphasic response to a pressure change which was characterized by fast and slow reciprocal relaxation times of the order 1000/s and 100/s. Between pCa 8-5.4 and at troponin C concentrations of 8-28 muM, the slow relaxation times were invariant, indicating that a protein isomerization was rate-limiting. The fast event was only detected over a very narrow pCa range (5.6-5.4). We have devised a model based on a Monod-Wyman-Changeux cooperative mechanism with volume changes of -9 and +6 mL/mol for the calcium binding to the regulatory sites and closed to open protein isomerization steps, respectively. In the absence of magnesium, we discovered that calcium binding to the C-terminal sites could be detected, despite their position distal to the calcium-sensitive tryptophan, with a volume change of +25 mL/mol. We used this novel observation to measure competitive magnesium binding to the C-terminal sites and deduced an affinity in the range 200-300 muM (and a volume change of +35 mL/mol). This affinity is an order of magnitude tighter than equilibrium fluorescence data suggest based on a model of direct competitive binding. Magnesium thus indirectly modulates binding to the N-terminal sites, which may act as a fine-tuning mechanism in vivo.

Utilization of troponin C as a model calcium-binding protein for mapping of the calmodulin-binding sites of caldesmon.

Project description:Troponin C, a structural analogue of calmodulin, was used for mapping the calmodulin-binding sites of caldesmon. The apparent Kd values for the formation of the caldesmon-calcium-binding-protein complex as determined by native gel electrophoresis were 0.5, 1.2 and 3.9 microM for calmodulin, rabbit skeletal muscle troponin C and bovine cardiac troponin C respectively. Troponin C induced a 4-6 nm blue shift of the Trp fluorescence of caldesmon without affecting the amplitude of fluorescence. In the presence of Ca2+, troponin C induced partial displacement of caldesmon from actin tropomyosin complexes. Addition of 5,5'-dithiobis(nitrobenzoic) acid to an equimolar complex of caldesmon and troponin C induced disulphide cross-linking between Cys-98 of rabbit skeletal muscle troponin C and the single Cys residue of duck gizzard caldesmon, located in a position analogous to Cys-580 of the chicken gizzard protein. The cross-linked caldesmon-troponin C complex was ineffective in inhibiting actomyosin ATPase activity. It is concluded that Cys-580 of caldesmon can be located close to both the central helix of calcium-binding proteins and the C-terminal domain of actin. This may be important for the regulation of actomyosin ATPase activity by caldesmon.
