Hydrodynamic properties of bovine cardiac troponin C.

The size and shape of bovine cardiac troponin C (TN-C) in solution have been examined by gel filtration, ultracentrifugation, and viscosity in the presence and absence of Ca2+. Cardiac TN-C (-Ca2+) has an intrinsic sedimentation coefficient, s020,w, of 1.87 S and a Stokes radius, RS, of 26.3 A as determined by gel chromatography on Sephacryl S-300. In 2 mM Ca2+, S020,w is increased to 2.04 S and RS is decreased to 24.3 A, indicating a conformational change to a more compact structure. Furthermore, the intrinsic viscosity of TN-C in the absence of Ca2+ (6.4 mL/g) is reduced to 5.4 mL/g when Ca2+ is added. Sedimentation equilibrium studies indicate that the effects of Ca2+ are not due to changes in the molecular weight of the protein. The hydrodynamic data suggest that TN-C is a moderately asymmetric protein with an axial ratio of 4--6.
