Calmodulin binds quantitatively to phenyl-Sepharose and octyl-Sepharose affinity columns in the presence of micromolar concentrations of Ca2+. In addition to EGTA [ethylene glycol bis(.beta.-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N'',N''-tetraacetic acid], calmodulin also can be eluted from these affinity columns with low ionic strength buffer, non-ionic detergent (i.e., 1% Triton X-100) or ethylene glycol (50%), suggesting hydrophobic interaction. Using hydrophobic interaction chromatography calmodulin can be purified to homogeneity from bovine brain homogenate in a single step. For large-scale purification the protein fraction containing calmodulin was concentrated by isoelectric precipitation prior to application to the affinity column. The yield obtained by this procedure (160-180 mg calmodulin/kg brain) is significantly greater, and the time required (.apprx. 5 h) is substantially less, than that of previously described procedures for calmodulin purification. It is apparent that phenyl-Sepharose offers several advantages over phenothiazine-Sepharose for affinity purification of calmodulin.
