Recently it has been proposed that ns-LTPs may play a key role in plant defense mechanisms particularly during the induction of systemic acquired resistance however very little is known about the regulation in this process. We report that the binding of maize non-specific lipid transfer protein Zm-LTP to calmodulin CaM is in a calcium-independent manner. To better understand the interaction mechanism between Zm-LTP and CaM the CaM-binding site of Zm-LTP was mapped to the region of amino acids 46-60. Point mutations indicate that four amino acid residues R46 R47 K54 and R58 in this region are crucial for binding. Furthermore we tested the effects of CaM on the lipid-binding activity of Zm-LTP in the presence of Ca2 EGTA N- 6-aminohexyl -5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide and trifluoperazine respectively. We also investigated the structural features of CaM-binding motifs in LTPs from different species and strong differences were observed. Taken together our results .
