The nature of the trifluoperazine binding sites on calmodulin and troponin-C.

We have employed 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the interaction of the drug trifluoperazine with calmodulin and troponin-C. Distinct trifluoperazine-binding sites exist in the N- and C-terminal halves of both proteins. Each site consists of a group of hydrophobic side-chains brought into proximity by the Ca2+-dependent juxtaposition of two alpha-helical segments of the protein, each, in turn, belonging to a different Ca2+-binding site in the protein half. The trifluoperazine-induced inhibition of the biological activating ability of calmodulin appears to result from conformational restrictions conferred upon the protein by the bound drug.
