✦ Synopsis


In the search for the mode of action of aluminum ions in dialysis encephalopathy, their interaction with calmodulin has been assessed, and compared with those of Ca2+, Pb2+, Mn2+, Hg2+ and Cd2+. The basal and calmodulin-dependent activity of phosphodiesterase was measured in the presence of the ions, and their binding to calmodulin was assessed by competition with 45Ca2+ in flow dialysis. Al3+, Mn2+, Hg2+, and Cd2+ cannot be regarded as exclusive calmodulin antagonists or agonists, but rather interact with the phosphodiesterase itself. Pb2+ however, mimicks Ca2+ in every system tested, and is active in the same concentration range as Ca2+. Our results indicate that the assumed role of Al3+ ions in dialysis encephalopathy or other neurological disturbances is not linked with calmodulin.

Two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against bovine calmodulin (CaM), CAM1 and CAM4, enable one to monitor conformational changes that occur in the molecule. The interaction of CAM1 with CaM depends on the Ca 2 occupancy of its Ca 2 -binding sites. CAM4, in contrast, interacts with CaM in a Ca 2i
