Disease relevance of CETN1

  • To determine the structure of human centrin-2 and to develop an understanding of molecular interactions between centrin and xeroderma pigmentosum group C protein, we characterized the crystal structure of calcium-loaded full-length centrin-2 complexed with a xeroderma pigmentosum group C peptide [1].
  • The centrin null mutant defective in amastigote growth could be useful as a vaccine candidate against leishmaniasis [2].
  • The centrin from ciliate Euplotes Octocarinatus has been expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop method [3].
  • To continue testing, the SET proteins associated with eukaryotic motility (tektin, centrin and calmodulin) were sought in Spirochaeta halophila [4].
  • Although neither centrin nor calmodulin were detected, a 30 kDa tektin-like protein apparently is present in these spirochetes [4].
 

High impact information on CETN1

  • Centrin is a ubiquitous protein component of centrosomes and mitotic spindle poles. cDNA clones encoding centrin have been identified from vertebrate sources, and their sequences demonstrate that centrin is a highly conserved member of the EF-hand superfamily of calcium-binding proteins [5].
  • Centriole assembly begins with the formation of small centrin aggregates that appear during the S phase [6].
  • We have generated several stable cell lines expressing GFP-labeled centrin [7].
  • The evolutionary conservation of centrin-related sequences and immunologic epitopes to microtubule organizing centers of divergent phylogeny suggests that a functional attribute(s) may have been conserved as well [8].
  • We conclude that the 165,000-Mr protein is immunologically related to centrin, and that it is a component of a novel centrosome-associated cytoskeletal filament system [8].

Associations of CETN1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CETN1

  • The present results suggest that almost all of the repeats of the Sfi1 protein may independently bind centrin molecules [16].
  • The interface between centrin-2 and each peptide is predominantly nonpolar, and key hydrophobic residues of XPC have been identified that lead us to propose a novel binding motif for centrin [1].
  • Recent findings demonstrate that Ca2+-activated centrin forms a complex with the visual G-protein transducin in photoreceptor cells [17].
 

Other interactions of CETN1

  • It also shows a differential localisation of centrin proteins in mature centriole/basal bodies, suggesting different functions for centrins 1/2 and centrin 3 [9].
  • This is also supported by functional analyses showing that centrin 1 and/or centrin 2 are involved in ciliary beating [9].
  • On the basis of this hypothesis and previous studies on centrin self-assembly, we propose a working model for the role of centrin-Sfi1 interactions in the dynamic structure of centrosome-associated contractile fibers [16].
  • This analysis detected the majority of known centriole proteins, including centrin, epsilon tubulin, and the cartwheel protein BLD10p [18].
  • Immunochemical evidence indicates that at least several of the proteins found in mammalian centrosomes, gamma-tubulin, centrin, pericentrin, and polypeptides recognized by the monoclonal antibodies MPM-2, 6C6, and C9 also recognize putative lower land plant MTOCs, indicating shared mechanisms of nucleation/organization in plants and animals [19].
