Calcium-dependent protein binding to phenothiazine columns

P B Moore, J R Dedman

    The Journal of Biological Chemistry
    |August 25, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Several proteins, besides calmodulin, bind fluphenazine in a calcium-dependent manner. These findings suggest careful interpretation of phenothiazines as indicators of calmodulin activity in muscle and red blood cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Calmodulin is a key calcium-binding protein involved in cellular signaling.
    • Phenothiazines are known to interact with calmodulin, but their binding can be non-specific.
    • Understanding alternative calcium-dependent drug-binding proteins is crucial for accurate biochemical assays.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and characterize proteins that bind fluphenazine in a calcium-dependent manner, independent of calmodulin.
    • To investigate the functional and structural similarities between these novel proteins and calmodulin.
    • To assess the specificity of phenothiazine binding in various tissue extracts.

    Main Methods:

    • Affinity chromatography using fluphenazine-coupled Sepharose.
    • Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) for protein separation and molecular weight determination.
    • Calcium titration and chelation studies using EDTA and EGTA to confirm calcium-dependent binding.

    Main Results:

    • Multiple proteins in nonmuscle, smooth muscle, and striated muscle tissues bind fluphenazine in a calcium-dependent manner.
    • Identified proteins in red blood cell lysates (Mr 22,000, 12,000, 9,000, 8,000), rat brain (Mr 11,000), and chicken/rabbit muscle (Mr 67,000, 35,000, 33,000, 11,000).
    • These proteins, except for the 22,000-dalton red blood cell protein, do not bind to calmodulin-Sepharose, indicating distinct identities.

    Conclusions:

    • Phenothiazine binding is not exclusive to calmodulin, and other calcium-dependent drug-binding proteins exist.
    • The interpretation of phenothiazine interactions as solely indicative of calmodulin activity requires careful consideration.
    • These novel proteins may possess functional analogies to calmodulin, featuring calcium-dependent drug-binding sites.
