N2 - Calmodulin (CaM) is the major component ofcalcium signaling pathways mediating theaction of various effectors. Transient increasesin the intracellular calcium level triggered by avariety of stimuli lead to the formation ofCa2+/CaM complexes, which interact with andactivate target proteins. In the present studythe role of Ca2+/CaM in the regulation of theligand-dependent activation of the epidermalgrowth factor receptor (EGFR) has beenexamined in living cells. We show that additionof different cell permeable CaM antagonists tocultured cells or loading cells with a Ca2+chelator inhibited ligand-dependent EGFRauto(trans)phosphorylation. This occurred alsoin the presence of inhibitors of protein kinaseC, CaM-dependent protein kinase II andcalcineurin, which are known Ca2+- and/orCa2+/CaM-dependent EGFR regulators,pointing to a direct effect of Ca2+/CaM on thereceptor. Furthermore, we demonstrate thatdown-regulation of CaM in conditional CaMknock out cells stably transfected with thehuman EGFR decreased its ligand-dependentphosphorylation. Substitution of six basicamino acid residues within the CaM-bindingdomain (CaM-BD) of the EGFR by alanineresulted in a decreased phosphorylation of thereceptor and of its downstream substratephospholipase C¿1. These results support thehypothesis that Ca2+/CaM regulates the EGFRactivity by directly interacting with the CaMBDof the receptor located at its cytosolicjuxtamembrane region.
