Disease relevance of CLIC2

 

High impact information on CLIC2

 

Biological context of CLIC2

  • CLIC-2 is one of only a few cytosolic inhibitors of cardiac RyR2 channels, and may suppress their activity during diastole and during stress [4].
 

Associations of CLIC2 with chemical compounds

  • CLIC-2 reduced increases in activity induced by ATP or adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate [4].
  • The results show that CLIC-2 interacts with the RyR protein by a mechanism that does not require oxidation, but is influenced by a conserved Cys residue at position 30 [4].
 

Other interactions of CLIC2

  • While the human NCC27 and XAP121 homologs encode small peptides of 241 and 243 amino acids, respectively, the bovine peptide has a length of 437 amino acids [1].
  • CLIC-2 provides a unique probe for substate activity, coupled gating and ligand-induced activation of cardiac RyR channels [4].
  • CLIC-2 (0.2-10 microM) added to the cytoplasmic side of RyR2 channels in lipid bilayers depressed activity in a reversible, voltage-independent, manner in the presence of activating (10-100 microM) or sub-activating (100 nM) cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations [4].
