Trifluoperazine-induced conformational change in Ca2+-calmodulin

Abstract: Here we show that, as a consequence of binding the drug trifluoperazine, a major conformational movement occurs in Ca(2+)-calmodulin (CaM). The tertiary structure changes from an elongated dumb-bell, with exposed hydrophobic surfaces, to a compact globular form which can no longer interact with its target enzymes. It is likely that inactivation of Ca(2+)-CaM by trifluoperazine is due to this major tertiary-structural alteration in Ca(2+)-CaM, which is initiated and stabilized by drug binding. This conformation… Show more

“…For example, troponin C binds two TFP molecules (PDB 1WRK) and calmodulin binds TFP with a range of stoichiometries; 1∶1 (PDB 1CTR), 1∶2 (PDB 1A29), and 1∶4 (PDB 1LIN) (28)(29)(30). Even though S100A4, troponin C, and calmodulin are built upon the same basic four-helical structural module, the architectures of the TFP binding pockets, and the positions and orientations of the bound TFP molecules are quite different amongst the three proteins (Fig.…”

“…Binding the small-molecule inhibitor, trifluoperazine (TFP), induces changes in atomic arrangement and hydration that leads to yet another unique chemical entity (Fig. 2D) (67). These graphical representations, generated from X-ray structure found in the Protein Data Bank [Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB)/Protein Data Bank (PDB)], for bound and unbound species pictorially illustrate that the potential magnitude of free-solution signal can be large (approximately >10 −4 RIU) under the proper conditions.…”

“…However, the data available thus far are still insufficient to provide a complete picture of the functions of CaM during pollen tube development. TFP is a potent antipsychotic phenothiazine and has been widely studied in relation to its mode of binding and specific inactivation of CaM (Picton and Steer, 1985;Vandonselaar et al, 1994;Krinke et al, 2007). Therefore, we set up several pharmacological experiments including large-scale proteomic analysis using safe concentrations of TFP in order to extend our knowledge of the involvement of CaM in pollen tube growth.…”
