Localization of hydrophobic sites in calmodulin and skeletal muscle troponin C studied using tryptic fragments: a simple method of their preparation.

Abstract:

:The exposure of hydrophobic sites on calmodulin, skeletal muscle troponin C and their tryptic fragments was investigated using Phenyl-Sepharose chromatography. A strong binding of both proteins and their fragments corresponding to the NH2-terminal halves of polypeptide chain of respective proteins in the presence of calcium ions was observed. Only a weak interaction with Phenyl-Sepharose or its lack was observed under these conditions for fragments corresponding to the COOH-terminal halves of calmodulin and troponin C, respectively. The elution of the samples from Phenyl-Sepharose column with ethylene glycol gradient allowed to compare relative hydrophobicity of both proteins and their fragments. The results show that hydrophobic properties of calmodulin and troponin C are virtually preserved in their fragments obtained as a result of their cleavage by trypsin in half. They also indicated that the exposure of hydrophobic residues caused by the binding of calcium ions takes place mainly in the NH2-terminal halves of polypeptide chains of both proteins. A simple method of purification of tryptic fragments of both proteins based on the difference in the strength of their interactions with Phenyl-Sepharose is described.
