An endogenous, heat-stable Ca binding protein (calmodulin), which increased the activity of 1 of the forms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, increased selectively the activity of a (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of rat erythrocyte membranes. The ED50 for calmodulin activation was 150 ng calmodulin/ml. The concentration of Ca2+ required for half-maximum calmodulin-induced activation of erythrocyte ATPase was 20 .mu.M, but .apprx. 50 .mu.M Ca2+ was required for half-maximum Ca-induced activation of ATPase measured in the absence of calmodulin. The phenothiazine trifluoperazine, which specifically inhibits the activation of phosphodiesterase by high-affinity Ca-specific binding to calmodulin, specifically inhibited the calmodulin-induced activation of ATPase. The I50 [median inhibitory concentration] for inhibition of ATPase was 50 .mu.M when measured in the presence of calmodulin but was over 250 .mu.M when measured in its absence. This trifluoperazine-induced inhibition of ATPase could be overcome by adding excess calmodulin. Apparently calmodulin activates a specific form of erythrocyte ATPase and trifluoperazine selectivity inhibits this activation presumably by binding to calmodulin. Several biochemical actions of phenothiazine antipsychotics apparently may be explained by a common mechanism, i.e., by selectively binding to calmodulin and thereby inhibiting its action.
