A novel 145 kd brain cytosolic protein reconstitutes Ca2+-regulated secretion in permeable neuroendocrine cells

Walent, Jane H., Porter, Bruce W., Martin, Thomas F.J.·1992·Cell

Abstract

The regulated secretory pathway is activated by elevated cytoplasmic Ca2+; however, the components mediating Ca2+ regulation have not been identified. In semi-intact neuroendocrine cells, Ca(2+)-activated secretion is ATP- and cytosol protein-dependent. We have identified a novel brain protein, p145, as a cytosolic factor that reconstitutes Ca(2+)-activated secretion in two neuroendocrine cell types. The protein is a dimer of 145 kd subunits, exhibits Ca(2+)-dependent interaction with a hydrophobic matrix, and binds phospholipid vesicles, suggesting a membrane-associated function. A p145-specific antibody inhibits the reconstitution of Ca(2+)-activated secretion by cytosol, indicating an essential role for p145. The restricted expression of p145 in tissues exhibiting a regulated secretory pathway suggests a key role for this protein in the transduction of Ca2+ signals into vectorial membrane fusion events.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
