Abstract
Myosin light chain kinase and peptides from the calmodulin (CaM) binding
domains of myosin light chain kinase (RS-20, M-13), CaM kinase II,
and the myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase C substrate protein
slowed Ca$^2+$ dissociation from CaM's N-terminal sites from
405 +/- 75/s to 1.8-2.9/s and from CaM's C-terminal sites from 2.4
+/- 0.2/s to 0.1-0.4/s at 10 degrees C. Since Ca$^2+$ dissociates
5-29 times faster from the N-terminal in these CaM.peptide complexes
and both lobes are required for activation, Ca$^2+$ dissociation
from the N-terminal would control target protein inactivation. Ca$^2+$
binds 70 times faster to the N-terminal (1.6 x 10(8) M-1 s-1) than
the C-terminal sites (2.3 x 10(6) M-1 s-1). In a 0.6-ms half-width
Ca$^2+$ transient, Ca$^2+$ occupied > 70\% of the N-terminal
but only 20\% of the C-terminal sites. RS-20 produced a 9-fold and
CaM kinase II a 6.3-fold increase in C-terminal Ca$^2+$ affinity,
suggesting that some target proteins may be bound to the C-terminal
at resting Ca$^2+$. When this is the case, Ca$^2+$ exchange
with the faster N-terminal sites may regulate CaM's activation and
inactivation of these target proteins during a Ca$^2+$ transient.
