We have used frequency-domain fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and anisotropy measurements to identify the structural properties of wheat germ calmodulin (CaM) bound to either the plasma membrane Ca-ATPase (PM-Ca-ATPase) in native erythrocyte ghost membranes or a peptide (C25W) that has an identical sequence to the CaM-binding domain on the PM-Ca-ATPase. Cross-linking experiments using benzophenone labeled CaM in conjunction with immunoblots using antibodies specific for either CaM or the PM-Ca-ATPase indicate that one molecule of CaM selectively binds one PM-Ca-ATPase polypeptide chain in native erythrocyte ghost membranes. There are no other proteins in the erythrocyte membrane that bind CaM with high affinity, permitting the measurement of the structural properties of CaM bound to the PM-Ca-ATPase in native erythrocyte ghost membranes. FRET measurements between the fluorophore pyrene maleimide (PMal) located at Cys27 in calcium binding loop I and nitrotyrosine139 in calcium binding loop IV on wheat germ CaM indicate that the average spatial separation and conformational heterogeneity associated with the two opposing globular domains of CaM are virtually identical upon CaM binding to either the PM-Ca-ATPase or C25W. Measurements of the solvent accessibility and segmental rotational dynamics of PMal-CaM bound to either the PM-Ca-ATPase or C25W further indicate that the local environment around the pyrene label located at Cys27 is very similar. However, the overall rotational dynamics of CaM bound to the PM-Ca-ATPase is much slower (phi 2 = 83 +/- 14 ns) than observed when CaM binds C25W (phi 2 = 10.3 +/- 0.5 ns). This implies that CaM is tightly associated with the CaM-binding domain of the PM-Ca-ATPase and that the observed rotational motion of pyrenylmaleimide labeled CaM is characteristic of the global motion of the CaM-binding domain on the PM-Ca-ATPase. The similar conformational heterogeneity and local environment of CaM bound to either the PM-Ca-ATPase or C25W indicates that CaM binds to a contiguous sequence of amino acids on the Ca-ATPase that are analogous to C25W and that there are no significant interactions with other structural elements within the PM-Ca-ATPase. The rate of rotational motion associated with CaM bound to the PM-Ca-ATPase is consistent with hydrodynamic calculation in which the calmodulin-binding domain located at the carboxyl-terminus of the PM-Ca-ATPase has a stable and defined tertiary structure that is independent of the other cytoplasmic domains of the PM-Ca-ATPase.
