Abstract
Voltage-dependent calcium channels (Ca(V)) open in response to changes in membrane potential, but their activity is modulated by Ca(2+) binding to calmodulin (CaM). Structural studies of this family of channels have focused on CaM bound to the IQ motif; however, the minimal differences between structures cannot adequately describe CaM's role in the regulation of these channels. We report a unique crystal structure of a 77-residue fragment of the Ca(V)1.2 alpha(1) subunit carboxyl terminus, which includes a tandem of the pre-IQ and IQ domains, in complex with Ca(2+).CaM in 2 distinct binding modes. The structure of the Ca(V)1.2 fragment is an unusual dimer of 2 coiled-coiled pre-IQ regions bridged by 2 Ca(2+).CaMs interacting with the pre-IQ regions and a canonical Ca(V)1-IQ-Ca(2+).CaM complex. Native Ca(V)1.2 channels are shown to be a mixture of monomers/dimers and a point mutation in the pre-IQ region predicted to abolish the coiled-coil structure significantly reduces Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of heterologously expressed Ca(V)1.2 channels.
Figure 1.
Crystal structure of the C-terminal pre-IQ-IQ fragment from the Ca[V]1.2 α[1] subunit. CaM N-lobes/domains are tan; C-lobes light blue; Ca^2+ ions are gold spheres. Ca[V]1.2 fragments (I and II) are blue to orange rainbow starting from the N termini (marked with N); the IQ domain for fragment I is red. Loop regions, the IQ domain for fragment II, and the C-domain of CaM IV are not seen in the density and are modeled, by analogy with fragment I and CaM III, as thin light gray lines for reference. The N- and C-lobes of the extended form of CaMs I and II bridging the pre-IQ segments are separated by ≈15 Å, whereas those of CaM III bound to the IQ motif of Ca[V]I fragment make contacts. Figs. 1 and 2 were made with PyMOL (www.pymol.org).
Figure 3.
Schematic diagram of the residue contacts (<4.5 Å distance) of the Ca[v] I N-terminal region (T1609–1623; left column) with primarily the N-lobe of CaM I (residues in tan) and Ca[v] II C-terminal region (1633–1649; right column) with mainly the C-lobe of CaM I (residues in light blue). The total contacts of nonhydrogen atoms between Ca[v] I N-terminal region and CaM I N-lobe/C-lobe is ≈200 and that between Ca[v] II C-terminal region and CaM I C-lobe/N-lobe is ≈260. Similar contacts are made with CaM II lobes.

Figure 2. Views of Key Residues of the Bound IQ Peptide with CaM Surfaces
The residues of the peptide are in magenta, electron density is blue. Protein surface representations are: dark blue, +; red, -; cyan, neutral or nonpolar; and yellow, sulfur of methionine residues.
(A) Cutaway view of the complex. CaM domains are labeled, along with selected peptide residues. The N-terminal pocket of Ca^2+-CaM (containing F1666 of the peptide) is to the left of center. Some residues at the C-terminal end of the peptide extend above the plane of the figure and are not shown.
(B) The N-terminal hydrophobic cluster of the IQ peptide. F1666 (center background) occupies the N-terminal hydrophobic pocket of Ca^2+CaM. The surface is the CaM binding channel, with the N domain of Ca^2+-CaM to the left and the C domain to the right. F1670, Y1667, and L1671 are grouped near a nonpolar surface created by the Ca^2+-CaM linker (lower foreground). This hydrophobic surface is created by M71, M72, M76, and the hydrophobic portion of the K75-E84 salt link.
(C) The C-terminal hydrophobic cluster of the IQ peptide. The surface is the C-terminal hydrophobic pocket of Ca^2+-CaM.
