Abstract
The solution structure of calcium-bound calmodulin (CaM) complexed with an antagonist, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7), has been determined by multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. The structure consists of one molecule of W-7 binding to each of the two domains of CaM. In each domain, the W-7 chloronaphthalene ring interacts with four methionine methyl groups and other aliphatic or aromatic side-chains in a deep hydrophobic pocket, the site responsible for CaM binding to CaM-dependent enzymes such as myosin light chain kinases (MLCKs) and CaM kinase II. This competitive binding at the same site between W-7 and CaM-dependent enzymes suggests the mechanism by which W-7 inhibits CaM to activate the enzymes. The orientation of the W-7 naphthalene ring in the N-terminal pocket is rotated approximately 40 degrees with respect to that in the C-terminal pocket. The W-7 ring orientation differs significantly from the Trp800 indole ring of smooth muscle MLCK bound to the C-terminal pocket and the phenothiazine ring of trifluoperazine bound to the N or C-terminal pocket. These comparative structural analyses demonstrate that the two hydrophobic pockets of CaM can accommodate a variety of bulky aromatic rings, which provides a plausible structural basis for the diversity in CaM-mediated molecular recognition.

Fifty per cent inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for Ca 2+ -CaM dependent activation of phosphodiester- ase by W-7 derivatives containing a different substituent atom at position 5: W-7(H), W-7(F), W-7, W-7(Br), and W-7(I) (Tanaka et al., 1982; MacNeil et al., 1988). IC50 is plotted against van der Waals radius and electronegativ- ity (inset) for halogen atoms and hydrogen.

The C a carbon atoms are superimposed. Hydrophobic side-chains of Ca 2+ - CaM/W-7 complex within 5 Å of W-7 are shown in magenta, and corresponding side-chains of Ca 2+ - CaM are shown as blue sticks. W-7 is shown as a space-filling model with chlorine in orange, sulfur in yellow, oxygen in red, nitrogen in blue, carbon in green, and hydrogen in white.
