A calcium and calmodulin-regulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase has been shown to be an integral component of both rat and bovine sperm flagella. The calcium-activated enzyme was inhibited by both trifluoperazine (ID50 = 10 microM) and [ethylene-bis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (EGTA), and the basal activity measured in the presence of EGTA was stimulated by limited proteolysis to that observed in the presence of calcium/calmodulin. 125I-Calmodulin binding to purified rat sperm flagella has been characterized and the flagellar-associated calmodulin-binding proteins identified by a combination of gel and nitrocellulose overlay procedures and by chemical cross-linking experiments using dimethyl suberimidate. 125I-Calmodulin bound to demembranated rat sperm flagella in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. At equilibrium, 30-40% of the bound 125I-calmodulin remains associated with the flagella after treatment with EGTA or trifluoperazine. The majority of the bound 125I-calmodulin, both the Ca2+-dependent and -independent, was displaced by excess calmodulin. A 67-kDa calmodulin-binding protein was identified by both the gel and nitrocellulose overlay procedures. In both cases, binding was dependent on Ca2+ and was totally inhibited by trifluoperazine, EGTA, and excess calmodulin. On nitrocellulose overlays, the concentration of calmodulin required to decrease binding of 125I-calmodulin by 50% was between 10(-10) and 10(-11) M. Limited proteolysis resulted in the total loss of all Ca2+-dependent binding to the 67-kDa polypeptide. Chemical cross-linking experiments identified a major calcium-dependent 125I-calmodulin:polypeptide complex in the 84-90-kDa molecular mass range and a minor complex of approximately 200 kDa. Immunoblot analysis showed that the major 67-kDa calmodulin-binding protein did not cross-react with polyclonal antibodies raised against either the calcium/calmodulin-regulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase or phosphoprotein phosphatase (calcineurin) from bovine brain.
