Kinetic properties of WT and mutant CaMs

CaMs KD values for Ca2+, μM
Kact for CaMKII, μM2 kp of CaMKII, (sec−1)3
KD1 KD2 KD3 KD4
WT CaM 7.9 1.7 35 8.9 0.04 0.96
CaM-CWT 25 1.6 5 0.064
CaM-NWT 28 3.3 20 0.12

KD values for Ca2+ were calculated as described in Methods from the data in Fig. 3D with the CaLigator program (47) downloaded from www.bpc.lu.se/research/caligator. A model containing four Ca2+ sites was used for WT CaM, and one containing two Ca2+ sites was used for CaM-CWT and CaM-NWT. The concentration of WT CaM required for half-maximal rate of CaMKII autophosphorylation, Kact, is taken from Meyer et al. (16). Kact values for mutant CaMs were determined from the data in Fig. 4B. The intrinsic turnover rate of CaMKII autophosphorylation, kp, was determined from data in Fig. 5. Confidence intervals (95%) for kp values were 0.67–1.25 for WT CaM, 0.044–0.084 for CaM-CWT, and 0.079–0.16 for CaM-NWT.
