Calreticulin: one protein, one gene, many functions.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a critical role in the synthesis and chaperoning of membrane-associated and secreted proteins. The membrane is also an important site of Ca(2+) storage and release. Calreticulin is a unique ER luminal resident protein. The protein affects many cellular functions, both in the ER lumen and outside of the ER environment. In the ER lumen, calreticulin performs t...
متن کاملLysinuric protein intolerance: one gene, many problems.
AMINO ACIDS are efficiently absorbed in intestine and kidney by epithelial cells endowed with transporters for specific groups of amino acids. Inherited renal aminoacidurias arise as a result of mutations inactivating apical or basolateral transport systems. Although aminoacidurias are diagnosed by urine amino acid analysis, most of the disorders affect both intestinal and renal transport. In t...
متن کاملThe kinesin superfamily protein KIF17: one protein with many functions.
Kinesins are ATP-dependent molecular motors that carry cargos along microtubules, generally in an anterograde direction. They are classified into 14 distinct families with varying structural and functional characteristics. KIF17 is a member of the kinesin-2 family that is plus end-directed. It is a homodimer with a pair of head motor domains that bind microtubules, a coiled-coil stalk, and a ta...
متن کاملOne gene , many phenotypes
Phenotype descriptions are valuable information right at the interface of medicine and biology. With the rapid advancement in the fi eld of genetics, thousands of genes involved in human diseases have been cloned. It was expected that knowledge of mutations would lead to consistent genotype-phenotype correlations. The understanding of mechanisms underlying genotype-phenotype discrepancies is im...
متن کاملFractalkine: one chemokine, many functions.
purification quality of CLP is important, especially for analyses of T-cell development. The original phenotypic CLP has recently been refined by addition of positivity for Flk25 and now a smaller population of cells including CD27 are shown to contain the T-cell potential. A specific criticism of the CLP as the thymus-seeding cell has been the lack of evidence that CLP can be detected in thymu...
