Microvilli isolated from 13762 mammary ascites tumor cells contain a major calcium-sensitive protein (AMV-p35) that can be isolated with microvillar microfilament cores prepared by Triton X-100 extraction in the presence but not absence of calcium. AMV-p35 can be readily purified from ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'- tetraacetic acid extracts of the microfilament cores by chromatography on an anion exchange column, to which it does not bind. Immunoblot analysis indicates that AMV-p35 is related to calpactin I, the pp60src tyrosine kinase substrate. In the presence of calcium, AMV-p35 binds approximately 4 mol of chlorpromazine per mole of protein in a binding process showing apparent positive cooperativity, similar to calmodulin; however, in contrast to calmodulin, AMV-p35 also binds phenothiazine in the absence of calcium.
