2.0 A crystal structure of the CaV1.2 IQ domain-Ca/CaM complex

Contents

Overview

Changes in activity-dependent calcium flux through voltage-gated calcium, channels (Ca(V)s) drive two self-regulatory calcium-dependent feedback, processes that require interaction between Ca(2+)/calmodulin (Ca(2+)/CaM), and a Ca(V) channel consensus isoleucine-glutamine (IQ) motif:, calcium-dependent inactivation (CDI) and calcium-dependent facilitation, (CDF). Here, we report the high-resolution structure of the, Ca(2+)/CaM-Ca(V)1.2 IQ domain complex. The IQ domain engages hydrophobic, pockets in the N-terminal and C-terminal Ca(2+)/CaM lobes through sets of, conserved 'aromatic anchors.' Ca(2+)/N lobe adopts two conformations that, suggest inherent conformational plasticity at the Ca(2+)/N lobe-IQ domain, interface. Titration calorimetry experiments reveal competition between, the lobes for IQ domain sites. Electrophysiological examination of, Ca(2+)/N lobe aromatic anchors uncovers their role in Ca(V)1.2 CDF., Together, our data suggest that Ca(V) subtype differences in CDI and CDF, are tuned by changes in IQ domain anchoring positions and establish a, framework for understanding CaM lobe-specific regulation of Ca(V)s.
