Revised Manuscript Received September 1, 1989 abstract: Binding of trifluoperazine (TFP), a phenothiazine tranquilizer, to porcine brain calmodulin (CaM) and rabbit skeletal muscle troponin C (Tn C) was measured by an automated high-performance liquid chromatography binding assay using a molecular sieving column; 10 jug of either protein per injection is sufficient for determining TFP binding, and results are comparable to those obtained by equilibrium dialysis. Very little binding was observed toeither protein in the absence of Ca2+ while in the presence of Ca2+ both proteins bind 4 equiv of TFP. Other characteristics of TFP binding however are different for each protein. For CaM, half-maximal binding occurs at 5.8 µ TFP, the Hill coefficient is 0.82, and the fit of the data to the Scatchard equation is consistent with four independent TFP-binding sites. Binding of one melittin displaces two TFP from CaM. Thus, there are two recognizable classes of TFP-binding sites: those that are displaced by melittin and those that are not. TFP causes an increase in the Ca2+ affinity of CaM, and three Ca2+ must be bound to CaM for TFP binding to occur. The studies also yielded a measure of the intrinsic affinity of three of CaM’s Ca2+-binding sites that is in agreement with previous reports. For troponin C, half-maximal binding occurs at 16 µ TFP, the Hill coefficient is 1.7, and the data best fit the Adair equation for four binding sites. The measured constants Ku K2, K3, and K4 were 2.5 X 104, 6.6 X 103, 5.8 X 105, and 2.0 X 105 M" 1, respectively, in 1 mM Ca2+ and were similar when Mg2+ was additionally included. TFP also increases troponin C’s Ca2+ affinity, and it is the low-affinity, Ca2+-specific binding sites that are affected. These studies yielded a measure of the intrinsic affinity of these Ca2+-binding sites that is in agreement with previous measurements.(Changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration frequently cause profound effects upon a cell’s metabolism. The role of Ca2+ in the regulation of muscle contraction, nerve transmission, secretion, and other basic biological processes has long been appreciated. These effects of Ca2+ have often been found to be mediated by a class of homologous Ca2+-binding proteins that includes troponin C and calmodulin. CaM1 is a Ca2+-dependent activator of numerous enzymes while Tn C is a structurally similar protein adapted to the more specialized role of regulating cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction. TFP, a phenothiazine tranquilizer, is a CaM antagonist effective at micromolar concentrations (Weiss & Levin, 1978). Later, it was discovered that TFP also binds toTn C (Levin & Weiss, 1978). Other phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine and fluphenazine)(Levin & Weiss, 1978; Silver et al., 1986), a series of naphthylsulfonamide derivatives (Hidaka et al., 1980), and the dye calmidazolium (Silver et al., 1986) are also bound by and effect the biological activity of both Tn C and CaM. TFP and many of these other compounds increase the Ca2+ sensitivity of myofilament contraction, and the effect on contractility correlates well with Tn C binding across a series of these compounds (Herzig et al., 1987). Levin and Weiss (1978) and Marshak et al.(1985) have both measured phenothiazine binding to CaM and arrived at quite different conclusions as to the number of binding sites and the Ca2+ dependency of binding. This difference as well as the uncertainty in the number and affinity of drug-binding sites on Tn C led us to reinvestigate drug binding to both proteins.
