Figure 3. Peptide titrations of Ca^2+-loaded calbindin-D[28K] and binding interface. (a–c) Selected regions of the 2D ^1H[N]-^15N TROSY spectra of calbindin-D[28K] binding to target peptides from (a) RanBPM (LASIKNR), (b) IMPase (ISSIKEKYPSHS) and (c) the pro-domain of procaspase-3 (SKSIKNLEP). The spectra were collected at peptide/protein ratios of 0:1 (black), 1:1 (green), 2:1 (dark blue), 4:1 (light blue), 8:1 (red) and 16:1 (pink). Residues showing chemical shift changes or line broadening are affected by peptide binding. (d) RanBPM peptide binding characteristics mapped onto the structure ensemble of Ca^2+-loaded calbindin-D[28K], displayed as a PyMOL surface plot. Residues are highlighted according to trends observed as results of the peptide titration: red, peak linewidth broadening and disappearance; yellow, substantial change in chemical shift; blue, moderate linewidth broadening and change in chemical shift; gray, residues unobservable at 25 °C owing to conformational exchange on an intermediate NMR timescale. Peptides derived from IMPase and procaspase-3 show similar binding traits (see text).
