Microcalorimetric investigation of the interaction of calmodulin with seminalplasmin and myosin light chain kinase

Flow microcalorimetric titrations of calmodulin with seminalplasmin at 25 degrees C revealed that the high affinity one-to-one complex in the presence of Ca2+ (Comte, M., Malnoe, A., and Cox, J. A. (1986) Biochem. J. 240, 567-573) is entirely enthalpy-driven (delta H0 = -50 kJ.mol-1; delta S0 = O J.K-1.mol-1; delta Cp0 = O J.K-1.mol-1) and is not influenced by the proton or Mg2+ concentration. The Sr2+- and Cd2+- promoted high affinity complexes are also exothermic for -49 and -45 kJ.mol-1, respectively. The observed low affinity interaction in the absence of divalent ions displays no enthalpy change. No enthalpy changes are observed when calmodulin and seminalplasmin are mixed in the presence of millimolar concentrations of Mg2+, Zn2+, or Mn2+. Enthalpy titrations of the 1:1 calmodulin-seminalplasmin complex with Ca2+ and of partly Ca2+-saturated calmodulin with seminalplasmin revealed that only the species calmodulin.Can greater than or equal to 2 is fully competent for high affinity interaction with seminalplasmin. Binding of the second Ca2+ is strongly enhanced (K2 greater than or equal to 5 X 10(7) M-1) as compared to that in free calmodulin (K2 = 2.6 X 10(5) M-1). This is essentially due to the concomitant strongly exothermic step of isomerization of the calmodulin-seminalplasmin complex from its low to its high affinity form. Binding of the remaining two Ca2+ to the high affinity seminalplasmin-calmodulin complex displays the same affinity constants and endothermic enthalpy change as in free calmodulin. A microcalorimetric study on the complex formation between Ca2+-saturated calmodulin and turkey gizzard myosin light chain kinase revealed that the interaction is strongly exothermic with an important overall gain of order (delta H0 = -85 kJ.mol-1; delta S0 = -122 J.K-1.mol-1) and occurs with significant proton uptake (0.44 H+ per mol at pH 7.5). The observed low affinity interaction (K = 2.2 X 10(5) M-1) in the absence of Ca2+ (Mamar-Bachi, A., and Cox, J. A. (1987) Cell Calcium 8, 473-482) displays neither a change in enthalpy nor in protonation.
