摘要

Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-sensing protein that can bind to and activate various target enzymes. Here, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to investigate calcium-induced structural changes of CaM, as well as binding to the model target melittin (Mel). Nonspecific metalation artifacts were eliminated by conducting the experiments in negative ion mode and with calcium tartrate as metal source [Pan et al. (2009) Anal. Chem. 81, 5008]. Two coexisting CaM subpopulations can be distinguished on the basis of their ESI charge state distributions, namely, relatively disordered conformers (CaM_D, high charge states) and more tightly folded proteins (CaM_F, low charge states). Calcium titration experiments on isolated CaM reveal that the transition from apo-CaM_D to Ca_4· CaM_F proceeds with apparent K_d values of 10, 14, 30, and 12 μM. In the presence of Mel, a gradual [Ca~(2+)] increase results in an overall population shift from apo-CaM_D to Ca_4·CaM_F·Mel. This transition involves various intermediates, Ca_n·CaM_F·Mel with n = 0,..., 3, as well as apo-CaM_D·Mel. Thus, neither the binding of four Ca~(2+) nor the existence of a tightly folded CaM conformation is a prerequisite for target binding. Millisecond time-resolved ESI-MS experiments were conducted to monitor the response of a premixed CaM-Mel solution to a calcium concentration jump, thereby mimicking the conditions encountered in a cellular signaling context. The resulting data suggest that the formation of Ca_4·CaM_F·Mel proceeds along three parallel kinetic pathways: (1) metal binding to CaM_D followed by formation of a compact protein-target complex, (2) folding of the apoprotein, then target binding, followed by metal complexation, (3) target binding to apo-CaM D followed by sequential metal binding. The exact structural properties of the various metal-unsaturated CaM species, as well as their physiological roles, remain to be elucidated.
