Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1 The principle of calmodulin-affi nity chromatography. ( a ) Detergent - solubilized plasma membrane proteins are applied to a column packed with calmodulin coupled to Sepharose 4B, in the presence of 0.1 mM CaCl 2 . Calmodulin interacts reversibly with the PMCA molecules in the presence of Ca 2+ . ( b ) Proteins binding calmodulin with high affi nity, such as the PMCA, will be retained on the column, as they interact with the immobilized calmodulin. Non-binding proteins are eluted by a washing of the column with a Ca 2+ -containing buffer. ( c ) Proteins binding specifi cally and reversibly to calmodulin, such as the PMCA, can now be eluted from the column by exchanging the Ca 2+ -containing buffer for a Ca 2+ -free buffer containing EDTA
