Previous attempts to elucidate the molecular details of TnC-Tnl interactions, mainly involving chemically modified proteins or fragments thereof, have led to thewidely accepted idea that the “inhibitory region”(residues 96-116) of Tnl binds to an a-helical segment of TnC comprising residues 89-100 in the nonregulatory, COOH-terminal domain. In an attempt to identify other possible physiologically important interactions between these proteins, 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl] carbodiimide (EDC) was used toproduce zero-length cross-links in the complex of rabbit skeletal muscle TnC and Tnl. TnC was activated with EDC and iV-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and then mixed with an equimolar amount of Tnl [Grabarek, Z., & Gergely, J.(1988) Biophys. J. 53, 392a]. The resulting cross-linked TnCXI was cleaved with cyanogen bromide, trypsin, and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease (SAP). Cross-linkedpeptides were purified by reverse-phase HPLC and characterized by sequence analysis. The results indicated that residues from the regulatory Ca2+-bindingsite II in the NH2-terminal domain of TnC (residues 46-78) formed cross-links with Tnl segments spanning residues 92-167. Themost highly cross-linked residues in Tnl were Lys-105 and Lys-107, located in the inhibitory region. These results yield the first evidence for an interaction between the N-terminal domain of TnC and the inhibitory region of Tnl. e Ca2+-dependent change in interaction between the Ca2+-binding (TnC) 1 and the inhibitory (Tnl) components of troponin is one of the key events in the process of activation of contraction in skeletal muscle [for reviews, see Leavis and Gergely (1984) and Zot and Potter (1987)]. In order to understand the molecular basis of muscular activation, much effort has been made to characterize the TnC-Tnl interface. The amino acid sequences of rabbit fast skeletal muscle TnC (Collins et al., 1973, 1977) and Tnl (Wilkinson & Grand, 1975) are known, and these proteins haveserved as models for extensive structure-function studies carried out in several laboratories. While much remains to be learned about the three-dimensional structure of Tnl, analysis of the TnC se-quence (Collins et al., 1973) predicted the locations of four Ca2+-binding sites, designated I-IV going from the amino to the carboxyl terminus of the protein. This prediction was later confirmed by the crystal structures of chicken (Sundaralingam et al., 1985) and turkey (Herzberg & James, 1985) TnCs,
