The activation mechanism of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (alphaCaMKII) is investigated by steady-state and stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopies. Lys(75)-labeled TA-cal [Török, K., and Trentham, D. R. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 12807-12820] is used to measure binding events, and double-labeled AEDANS,DDP-T34C/T110/C-calmodulin [Drum et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 36334-36340] (DA-cal) is used to detect changes in calmodulin conformation. Fluorescence quenching of DA-cal attributed to resonance energy transfer is related to the compactness of the calmodulin molecule. Interprobe distances are estimated by lifetime measurements of Ca(2+)/DA-cal in complexes with unphosphorylated nucleotide-free, nucleotide-bound, and Thr(286)-phospho-alphaCaMKII as well as with alphaCaMKII-derived calmodulin-binding peptides in the presence of Ca(2+). These measurements show that calmodulin can assume at least two spectrally distinct conformations when bound to alphaCaMKII with estimated interprobe distances of 40 and 22-26 A. Incubation with ATP facilitates the assumption of the most compact conformation. Nonhydrolyzable ATP analogues partially replicate the effects of ATP, suggesting that while the binding of ATP induces a conformational change, Thr(286)-autophosphorylation is probably required for the transition of calmodulin into its most compact conformer. The rate constant for the association of Ca(2+)/TA-cal with alphaCaMKII is estimated as 2 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) and is not substantially affected by the presence of ATP. The rate of net calmodulin compaction measured by Ca(2+)/DA-cal is markedly slower, occurring with a rate constant of 2.5 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), suggesting that unproductive complexes may play a role in the activation mechanism.
