Functional specialization of calreticulin domains
Calreticulin is a Ca2+-binding chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and calreticulin gene knockout is embryonic lethal. Here, we used calreticulin-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts to examine the function of calreticulin as a regulator of Ca2+ homeostasis. In cells without calreticulin, the ER has a lower capacity for Ca2+ storage, although the free ER luminal Ca2+ concentration is ...
متن کاملFunctional specialization of ribosomes?
Ribosomes are highly conserved macromolecular machines that are responsible for protein synthesis in all living organisms. Work published in the past year has shown that changes to the ribosome core can affect the mechanism of translation initiation that is favored in the cell, which potentially leads to specific changes in the relative efficiencies with which different proteins are made. Here,...
متن کاملFunctional conservation of calreticulin in Euglena gracilis.
Calreticulin is the major high capacity, low affinity Ca2+ binding protein localized within the endoplasmic reticulum. It functions as a reservoir for triggered release of Ca2+ by the endoplasmic reticulum and is thus integral to eukaryotic signal transduction pathways involving Ca2+ as a second messenger. The early branching photosynthetic protist Euglena gracilis is shown to possess calreticu...
متن کاملFunctional Roles of Calreticulin in Cancer Biology
Calreticulin is a highly conserved endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein which participates in various cellular processes. It was first identified as a Ca(2+)-binding protein in 1974. Accumulated evidences indicate that calreticulin has great impacts for the development of different cancers and the effect of calreticulin on tumor formation and progression may depend on cell types and clinical...
متن کاملFunctional specialization of domains tandemly duplicated within 16S rRNA methyltransferase RsmC
RNA methyltransferases (MTases) are important players in the biogenesis and regulation of the ribosome, the cellular machine for protein synthesis. RsmC is a MTase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) to G1207 of 16S rRNA. Mutations of G1207 have dominant lethal phenotypes in Escherichia coli, underscoring the significance of this modified nucleotide ...
