Abstract: | Amphibian peptides which inhibit the formation of nitric oxide by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) do so by binding to the protein cofactor, Ca2+calmodulin (Ca2+CaM). Complex formation between active peptides and Ca2+CaM has been demonstrated by negative ion electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry using an aqueous ammonium acetate buffer system. In all cases studied, the assemblies are formed with a 1:1:4 calmodulin/peptide/Ca2+ stoichiometry. In contrast, the complex involving the 20-residue binding domain of the plasma Ca2+ pump C20W (LRRGQILWFRGLNRIQTQIK-OH) with CaM has been shown by previous two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR) studies to involve complexation of the C-terminal end of CaM. Under identical conditions to those used for the amphibian peptide study, the ESI complex between C20W and CaM shows specific 1:1:2 stoichiometry. Since complex formation with the studied amphibian peptides requires Ca2+CaM to contain its full complement of four Ca2+ ions, this indicates that the amphibian peptides require both ends of the CaM to effect complex formation. Charge-state analysis and an H/D exchange experiment (with caerin 1.8) suggest that complexation involves Ca2+CaM undergoing a conformational change to a more compact structure. |
