2M5E - PubMed Abstract:
Several members of the voltage-gated sodium channel family are regulated by calmodulin (CaM) and ionic calcium. The neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel Na V 1.2 contains binding sites for both apo (calcium-depleted) and calcium-saturated CaM. We have determined equilibrium dissociation constants for rat Na V 1.2 IQ motif [IQRAYRRYLLK] binding to apo CaM (~3nM) and (Ca 2+ ) 4 -CaM (~85nM), showing that apo CaM binding is favored by 30-fold. For both apo and (Ca 2+ ) 4 -CaM, NMR demonstrated that Na V 1.2 IQ motif peptide (Na V 1.2 IQp ) exclusively made contacts with C-domain residues of CaM (CaM C ). To understand how calcium triggers conformational change at the CaM-IQ interface, we determined a solution structure (2M5E.pdb) of (Ca 2+ ) 2 -CaM C bound to Na V 1.2 IQp . The polarity of (Ca 2+ ) 2 -CaM C relative to the IQ motif was opposite to that seen in apo CaM C -Na v 1.2 IQp (2KXW), revealing that CaM C recognizes nested, anti-parallel sites in Na v 1.2 IQp . Reversal of CaM may require transient release from the IQ motif during calcium binding, and facilitate a re-orientation of CaM N allowing interactions with non-IQ Na V 1.2 residues or auxiliary regulatory proteins interacting in the vicinity of the IQ motif.
