Abstract

The characteristics of the inhibitory effect of calcium ion (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM) on specific [125I]-omega-conotoxin GVIA (125I-omega-CTX) binding and on the labeling of 125I-omega-CTX to crude membranes from chick brain were investigated. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+/CaM depended on the concentrations of free Ca2+ and CaM. The IC50 values for free Ca2+ and CaM were about 2.0 x 10(-8) M and 3.0 microg protein/ml, respectively. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+/CaM was attenuated by the CaM antagonists W-7, prenylamine and CaM-kinase II fragment (290-309), but not by the calcineurin inhibitor FK506. Ca2+/CaM also inhibited the labeling of a 135-kDa band (which was considered to be part of N-type Ca2+ channel alpha1 subunits) with 125I-omega-CTX using a cross-linker. These results suggest that Ca2+/CaM affects specific 125I-omega-CTX binding sites, probably N-type Ca2+ channel alpha1 subunits, in crude membranes from chick whole brain.
