Abstract
Four psychoactive agents which inhibit calmodulin activity were used to study their effect on the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to normal and simian-virus-40-transformed human fibroblasts (WI38). These calmodulin antagonists decreased the binding of 125I-labelled EGF to the transformed, but not to the normal, cell in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanism of this effect appears to be due to a decrease in the apparent affinity of the plasma-membrane EGF receptor for the EGF molecule.
