COMMUNICATION
The Relationship between the Free Concentrations of Ca2+ and Ca2+-calmodulin in Intact Cells

Anthony Persechini and Benjamin Cronk

From the Department of Pharmacology & Physiology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York 14642

Using stably expressed fluorescent indicator proteins, we have determined for the first time the relationship between the free Ca2+ and Ca2+-calmodulin concentrations in intact cells. A similar relationship is obtained when the free Ca2+ concentration is externally buffered or when it is transiently increased in response to a Ca2+-mobilizing agonist. Below a free Ca2+ concentration of 0.2 µM, no Ca2+-calmodulin is detectable. A global maximum free Ca2+-calmodulin concentration of ~ 45 nM is produced when the free Ca2+ concentration exceeds 3 µM, and a half-maximal concentration is produced at a free Ca2+ concentration of 1 µM. Data for fractional saturation of the indicators suggest that the total concentration of calmodulin-binding proteins is ~ 2-fold higher than the total calmodulin concentration. We conclude that high-affinity calmodulin targets (Kd <=  10 nM) are efficiently activated throughout the cell, but efficient activation of low-affinity targets (Kd >=  100 nM) occurs only where free Ca2+-calmodulin concentrations can be locally enhanced.
