The effect of removal of Ca2+bound to thrombospondin (TSP) on the protein structure in solution has been investigated using ESR spin-label techniques. A maleimide spin label was selectively attached to the free thiol group presumably near the carboxyl-terminal domain in which Ca2+-binding sites are situated. The ESR spectra of spin-labeled TSP showed that the bound label undergoes a relatively fast rotational motion with an effective rotational correlation time in the nanosecond time regimes. Removal of bound Ca2+in TSP by dialyzing spin-labeled TSP from a Ca2+-containing buffer into an EDTA-containing buffer resulted in an increase in the mobility of the bound label by a factor of 2.3. The data suggest that EDTA chelation of bound Ca2+in TSP induces a conformational change of TSP at least near the site of spin labeling.
