Nondenaturing PAGE to check for complex formation between CaM and the
CaV1.1 (Sk) or CaV1.2 (Card)
C-terminal regions CT1, CT2, and CT3 (see
Fig. 1 for
orientation). In the presence of 2 mm Ca2+, all CTs
of the cardiac type were able to form a complex with CaM (underlined
labels; confirmed for CT1 by mass spectrometry), whereas the skeletal type CT
constructs lacked the additional band. In the absence of Ca2+ and
presence of 2 mm EDTA, CaM failed to form a complex with cardiac
(or skeletal) CT1 (bottom, right).
