Disease relevance of CAPN1

 

High impact information on CAPN1

  • CANP1 was maximally active at 700 microM while CANP2 exhibited highest activity at 2 microM CaCl2 [2].
  • A calcium-activated neutral proteinase (CANP)-specific endogenous inhibitor (calpastatin) was purified from bovine brain by successive column chromatography [3].
  • The inhibitor formed a complex with CANP and the inactive complex was dissociated into active fractions of enzyme and calpastatin in the presence of EGTA [3].
  • We found mu-CANP activity in a crude CANP fraction extracted from the peripheral nerve, which degraded the neurofilament (Nf) triplet (200 K, 160 K, 68 K), especially the 160 K component, at Ca2+ concentrations of 50 microM and 0.1 mM [4].
  • Calcium-activated neutral protease with low affinity for calcium (CANP II, Mr 76,000) can be purified to apparent homogeneity by casein affinity chromatography but contains cyclic-AMP dependent protein kinase activity [5].
 

Biological context of CAPN1

  • Two previously identified single-nucleotide polymorphism markers located within the micromolar calcium-activated neutral protease gene (CAPN1) were evaluated for their association with variation in meat tenderness using one commercial sample of Simmental x Angus crossbred calves and one multibreed, crossbred research herd [6].
  • Animals inheriting the CC genotype at CAPN1 had meat that was more tender than those inheriting the TT genotype [7].
  • Two previously reported and two new SNP in the CAPN1 gene were used as markers on chromosome 29 [8].
  • One marker (termed 4751) was associated with shear force on postmortem d 7 (P < 0.01), 14 (P = 0.015), and 21 (P < 0.001) in this population, demonstrating that genetic variation important for tenderness segregates in Bos indicus cattle at or near CAPN1 [9].
  • Allele frequencies of the SNP in TG and CAPN1 were different in this Brahman population than in reported allele frequencies in Bos taurus populations [8].
 

Anatomical context of CAPN1

 

Associations of CAPN1 with chemical compounds

  • This affinity purified CANP had properties previously described for other CANPs: heterodimer of 80 and 30 kDa; neutral pH optimum; activation by millimolar Ca2+; and inhibition by an endogenous, heat-stable proteinaceous inhibitor, by leupeptin, and by sulfhydryl alkylating agents [12].
  • Treatment of whole homogenate and myelin with 0.1% Triton X-100 increased the CANP activity by tenfold [10].
  • Myelin prepared by the method of Norton and Poduslo as well as by a modified method, was shown to contain most (more than 50%) of homogenate mM CANP activity [11].
  • PI stimulated both m- and muCANP in a concentration-dependent manner, while phosphatidylcholine was least effective [13].
 

Other interactions of CAPN1

  • The objective of this study was to assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) developed at the calpastatin (CAST) and mu-calpain (CAPN1) genes with meat tenderness and palatability traits in populations with diverse genetic backgrounds [7].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CAPN1

  • The SDS-PAGE analysis of the enzyme fractions has shown a major band at 66-68,000 daltons and two minor bands at 60,000 and 48-50,000 daltons for CANP I; a major band at 48-50,000 daltons and a minor band at 30-32,000 daltons for CANP II and a predominant doublet at 30-32,000 daltons with a minor band at 48-50,000 daltons for CANP III [14].
