High impact information on Canx

  • Autocrine motility factor receptor (AMF-R) is a marker for a smooth subdomain of the ER, shown here by confocal microscopy to be distinct from, yet closely associated with the calnexin- or calreticulin-labeled ER [1].
  • This is deduced from the effect of antibodies to the COOH-terminal tail of alpha(2)p24, but not of antibodies to the COOH-terminal tail of calnexin on this reconstitution, as well as the demonstrated recruitment of COPI coatomer to VTCs, its augmentation by GTPgammaS, inhibition by Brefeldin A (BFA), or depletion of beta-COP from cytosol [2].
  • Taken together with studies revealing calnexin association with CK2 and ERK-1, a model is proposed whereby phosphorylation of calnexin leads to a potential increase in glycoprotein folding close to the translocon [3].
  • Phosphorylation by CK2 and MAPK enhances calnexin association with ribosomes [3].
  • Remarkably, DLP1-positive structures coalign with microtubules and, most strikingly, with endoplasmic reticulum tubules as verified by double labeling with antibodies to calnexin and Rab1 as well as by immunoelectron microscopy [4].
 

Biological context of Canx

  • Partial amino acid sequence analysis revealed that p93 was close to 100% homologous with a recently identified ER Ca(2+)-binding protein known as calnexin [5].
  • Using truncated RNA templates we found that calnexin did not associate with the first four TM domains but retained affinity for the construct encoding TM domains 5 and 6, which contains the glycosylation sites [6].
  • Stable transfection of FR3T3 rat fibroblast cells with p79 cDNA analysed by electron microscopy following immunolabelling of ultra-thin cryosections revealed a localization of p79 in the secretory pathway, mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi region, where it is specifically associated with the molecular chaperone calnexin [7].
 

Anatomical context of Canx

 

Associations of Canx with chemical compounds

  • A subset of these luminal components are specific for glycoproteins, and, like calnexin and calreticulin, the thiol-dependent reductase ERp57 has been shown to interact specifically with soluble secretory proteins bearing N-linked carbohydrate [8].
  • Biosynthesis of inositol trisphosphate receptors: selective association with the molecular chaperone calnexin [6].
  • Glucose trimming from newly synthesized glycoproteins regulates their interaction with the calnexin/calreticulin chaperone system [11].
  • The interaction of calnexin with newly synthesized type-I IP(3)R was transient and inhibited by treatment of the cells with dithiothreitol or the glucosidase inhibitor N-methyldeoxynojirimicin [6].
