PDZ (PSD-95/Disc large/Zonula occludens-1) protein interaction domains bind to cytoplasmic protein C-termini of transmembrane proteins. In order to identify new interaction partners of the voltage-gated L-type \(Ca^{2+}\) channel Cav1.2 and the plasma membrane \(Ca^{2+}\) ATPase 4b (PMCA4b), we used PDZ domain arrays probing for 124 PDZ domains. We confirmed this byGST pulldowns and immunoprecipitations. In PDZ arrays, strongest interactionswith \(Ca_v1.2\) and PMCA4b were found for the PDZ domains of SAP-102, MAST-205, MAGI-1, MAGI-2, MAGI-3, and ZO-1. We observed binding of the \(Ca_v1.2\) C-terminus to PDZ domains of NHERF1/2, Mint-2, and CASK. PMCA4b was observed to interact with Mint-2 and its known interactions with Chapsyn-110 and CASK were confirmed. Furthermore, we validated interaction of \(Ca_v1.2\) and PMCA4b with NHERF1/2, CASK,MAST-205 and MAGI-3 viaimmunoprecipitation. We also verified the interaction of \(Ca_v1.2\) and nNOS and hypothesized that nNOS overexpression might reduce \(Ca^{2+}\) influx through \(Ca_v1.2\). To address this, we measured \(Ca^{2+}\) currents in HEK 293 cells co-expressing \(Ca_v1.2\) and nNOS and observed reduced voltage-dependent \(Ca_v1.2\) activation. Taken together, we conclude that \(Ca_v1.2\) and PMCA4b bind promiscuously to various PDZ domains, and that our data provides the basis for further investigation of the physiological consequences of these interactions.
