SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURE S1. 4.1R80 interaction with membrane proteins is regulated by Ca2+ through CaM binding to FERM domain of 4.1R 80 (R30). Effect of Ca2+ on 4.1R80 binding to cytoplasmic domains of transmembrane proteins CD44 [6], GPC [10], NHE1 [8] and membrane scaffolding protein p55 [10] through CaM binding to FERM domain (R30) are shown. Note that 4.1R 80 binds to CaM in a Ca2+-independent manner with the same affinity as shown in Supplementary Table S3 [19]. A: schematic representations of 4.1R 80 and CaM are shown. 4.1R80 consists of 4 domains, including a N-terminal FERM domain (R30) and a spectrin and actin binding (SAB) domain. B: In human erythrocyte membranes, 4.1R80 binds to both GPC, a single transmembrane glycoprotein, and p55 through R30; it also forms a ternary complex with spectrin and actin through the SAB domain. When CaM binds to R30 saturated with Ca2+, Ca2+/CaM weakens the binding affinities within the two ternary protein complexes, 4.1R80/GPC/p55 and 4.180/spectrin/actin. The membrane skeletal network becomes relaxed (i.e. it interacts more loosely with transmembrane proteins) and the membrane stability is decreased [3,17]. C: upon activation of NHE1, intracellular Ca2+ concentration increases. Upon Ca2+/CaM-dependent dissociation of 4.1R80 from NHE1, PIP2 binds to NHE1 and enhances NHE1 activity. (D) in epithelial cells, 4.1R80 regulates CD44-hyalulonan interaction through ankyrin-CD44 interaction [6]. A B C D SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURE S2. NMR structural changes in apo-CaM and Ca2+/CaM upon interaction with pep11. Changes in NMR (1H-15N HSQC) spectral profiles for specific amino acids in 15N-labelled apo-CaM (A) and Ca2+/CaM (B) upon pep11 binding are shown. Spectra for the pep11/apo-CaM and pep11/Ca2+/CaM complexes were measured at a 1:1.5 ratio. All samples were adjusted at pH 6.8 and kept at 25°C during the experiments.

Each analyte (used from 50nM to 2 µM) was incubated with the listed ligands immobilized on aminosilane cuvettes. Interactions of R30 or pep11 with CaM in the presence or absence of Ca2+ were examined using the IAsys ® resonant mirror detection system as previously described [19,20]. Dissociation constants at equilibrium (termed “Kd”) were calculated using the equation: Kd= kd ka-1, where ka is the association rate constant and kd the dissociation rate constant. Kd values were obtained from the means of 3-5 measurements for ka and kd. From the binding curves obtained by the resonant mirror detection method, Kd were determined using the software package FAST-Fit ®. From the binding curves obtained by the resonant mirror detection method, Kd were determined using the software package FAST-Fit ®. ka, kd and Kd were calculated from three independent and representative experiments (mean±S.D.).
