Isolation,sequencing and analysis of the expression of Bryonia calmodulin after mechanical perturbation

A cDNA clone (Bc329) encoding calmodulin was isolated from a Bryonia cDNA library by screening with cloned Arabidopsis calmodulin cDNA. The cDNA Bc329 was 899 bp full-length clone. The predicted amino acid sequence consists of 149 residues and reveals a high homology with other known plant calmodulins (91 to 99% identity). Genomic southern blot suggests that Bryonia calmodulin is encoded by a single-copy gene. The Bc329 clone was used as a probe to study the expression of calmodulin mRNA after a mechanical stimulus applied on young Bryonia internodes. The steady-state of calmodulin mRNA reached a maximum 30 min after the treatment before it progressively decreased. The role of calcium and calmodulin as second messengers is discussed with regard to environmental changes.     

Cloning of cDNA Sequences Encoding the Calcium-Binding Protein, Calmodulin, from Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Full- and partial-length cDNAs encoding calmodulin mRNA have been cloned and sequenced from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Barley leaf mRNA, size-fractionated in sucrose density gradients, was used to synthesize double-stranded cDNA. The cDNA was cloned in λgt10 and screened with a synthetic, 14-nucleotide oligonucleotide probe, which was designed using the predicted coding sequences of the carboxy termini of spinach and wheat calmodulin proteins. The primary structure of barley calmodulin, predicted from DNA sequencing experiments, consists of 148 amino acids and differs from that of wheat calmodulin in only three positions. In two of the three positions, the amino acid changes are conservative, while the third change consists of an apparent deletion/insertion. The overall nucleotide sequence similarity between the amino acid coding regions of barley and vertebrate calmodulin mRNAs is approximately 77%. However, a region encoding 11 amino acids of the second Ca²⁺-binding domain is very highly conserved at the nucleotide level compared with the rest of the coding sequences (94% sequence identity between barley and chicken calmodulin mRNAs). Genomic Southern blots reveal that barley calmodulin is encoded by a single copy gene. This gene is expressed as a single size class of mRNA in all tissues of 7-day-old barley seedlings. In addition, these analyses indicate that a barley calmodulin cDNA coding region subclone is suitable as a probe for isolating calmodulin genes from other plants.     

Cloning of plant cDNAs encoding calmodulin-binding proteins using35S-labeled recombinant calmodulin as a probe

Radiolabelled calmodulin has previously been used to screen cDNA expression libraries to isolate calmodulin-binding proteins. We have modified this technique for the isolation of plant calmodulin-binding proteins. [³⁵S]-methionine was used instead of the inorganic [³⁵S]-sulfate, or¹²⁵I used in previous methods. In addition, theE. coli pET expression system was chosen to obtain high levels of recombinant calmodulin at the time of labelling. The procedure thus takes into account both the specific activity of the probe and the amount of protein necessary for screening a large number of filters. Here we describe in detail a procedure for the production and purification of [³⁵S]-recombinant calmodulin and the use of the radiolabelled protein as a probe to screen plant cDNA expression libraries. The [³⁵S]-labeled calmodulin probe easily detects the λICM-1 phage encoding a partial mouse calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II that was previously isolated using a [¹²⁵I]-calmodulin probe (Sikela and Hahn, 1987). Subsequently, a tobacco root cDNA expression library was screened and a positive clone encoding a calcium-dependent calmodulin-binding protein was isolated.

The third calmodulin family protein in Tetrahymena. Cloning of the cDNA for Tetrahymena calcium-binding protein of 23 kDa (TCBP-23)

Recently, we proved the existence of the second calmodulin family protein in Tetrahymena (Tetrahymena calcium-binding protein of 25 kDa, TCBP-25) by analyzing its cDNA (Takemasa, T., Ohnishi, K., Kobayashi, T., Takagi, T., Konishi, K., and Watanabe, Y. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 19293-19301). During the amino acid sequence determination of TCBP-25, we became aware of the fact that another polypeptide carrying calcium-binding domains of EF-hand type existed in addition to Tetrahymena calmodulin and TCBP-25. This third calmodulin family protein from Tetrahymena was confirmed by isolating its cDNA clones. One of the cloned cDNAs contains 763 nucleotides and encodes a protein that is composed of 207 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 23,413 daltons. This predicted protein possesses four EF-hand type calcium-binding domains, so we have designated it as Tetrahymena calcium-binding protein of 23 kDa (TCBP-23). TCBP-23 is similar (35% homology) but clearly different from TCBP-25. The TCBP-23 gene is actively transcribed in vivo as a 0.84-kilobase RNA. Thus, it follows that Tetrahymena cells have three different calmodulin family proteins: calmodulin, TCBP-25 and TCBP-23. These proteins are expected to provide important clues for solving the mechanisms of calcium-dependent phenomena, such as ciliary reversal.     

Calmodulin binds to and inhibits the activity of the membrane distal catalytic domain of receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase alpha

cDNA expression library screening revealed binding between the membrane distal catalytic domain (D2) of protein-tyrosine phosphatase alpha (PTPalpha) and calmodulin. Characterization using surface plasmon resonance showed that calmodulin bound to PTPalpha-D2 in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner but did not bind to the membrane proximal catalytic domain (D1) of PTPalpha, to the two tandem catalytic domains (D1D2) of PTPalpha, nor to the closely related D2 domain of PTPepsilon. Calmodulin bound to PTPalpha-D2 with high affinity, exhibiting a K(D) approximately 3 nm. The calmodulin-binding site was localized to amino acids 520-538 in the N-terminal region of D2. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that Lys-521 and Asn-534 were required for optimum calmodulin binding and that restoration of these amino acids to the counterpart PTPepsilon sequence could confer calmodulin binding. The overlap of the binding site with the predicted lip of the catalytic cleft of PTPalpha-D2, in conjunction with the observation that calmodulin acts as a competitive inhibitor of D2-catalyzed dephosphorylation (K(i) approximately 340 nm), suggests that binding of calmodulin physically blocks or distorts the catalytic cleft of PTPalpha-D2 to prevent interaction with substrate. When expressed in cells, full-length PTPalpha and PTPalpha lacking only D1, but not full-length PTPepsilon, bound to calmodulin beads in the presence of Ca(2+). Also, PTPalpha was found in association with calmodulin immunoprecipitated from cell lysates. Thus calmodulin does associate with PTPalpha in vivo but not with PTPalpha-D1D2 in vitro, highlighting a potential conformational difference between these forms of the tandem catalytic domains. The above findings suggest that calmodulin is a possible specific modulator of PTPalpha-D2 and, via D2, of PTPalpha.
