Mutations CAPN3 in the CAPN3 gene cause limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A, indicating that CAPN3 plays important roles Calpain in muscle physiology. CAPN3 has several unique features. A crystallographic study revealed that its C-terminal Protease penta–EF-hand domains form a homodimer, suggesting that CAPN3 functions as a homodimeric protease. To Dimer analyze complex formation of CAPN3 in a more convenient manner, we performed blue native polyacrylamide Trimer gel electrophoresis and found that the observed molecular weight of native CAPN3, as well as recombinant EF-hand Skeletal muscle CAPN3, was larger than 240 kDa. Further analysis by cross-linking and sequential immunoprecipitation revealed that CAPN3 in fact forms a homotrimer. Trimer formation was abolished by the deletion of the PEF domain, but not the CAPN3-specific insertion sequences NS, IS1, and IS2. The PEF domain alone formed a homodimer, as reported, but addition of the adjacent CBSW domain to its N-terminus reinforced the trimer-forming property. Collectively, these results suggest that CAPN3 forms a homotrimer in which the PEF domain's dimer-forming ability is influenced by other domains. 1. Introduction catalytic subunits consist of an N-terminal anchor helix peptide fol- lowed by a highly conserved protease (CysPc) domain consisting of Calpains (Clan CA-C2, EC3.4.22.17) constitute a family of in- protease core subdomains PC1 and PC2, a calpain-type β-sandwich tracellular Ca2+-requiring cysteine proteases present in a wide range of (CBSW) domain, and a penta-EF-hand (PEF) domain. CAPNS1 contains species from bacteria to humans [1–3]. Mammals have 15 calpain genes a glycine-rich (GR) domain and a PEF domain, and functions as a mo- (CAPN1–3 and 5–16) with ubiquitous or tissue-specific expression. lecular chaperone for CAPN1 and CAPN2. Contrary to the definition of Calpains regulate multiple biological phenomena, including apoptosis, the EF-hand as Ca2+-binding motif, the fifth EF-hand (EF5) of PEF cell cycle, myoblast fusion, and membrane repair, depending on the domains of both subunits does not function as Ca2+-binding site, but functions of their substrates [1]. Accordingly, aberrant calpain activity instead contributes to the interface between the two subunits.

In the absence of Ca2+, calpain-1 and calpain-2 are catalytically degenerative disease, muscular dystrophies, and ophthalmic disorders inactive because PC1 and PC2 are far apart, preventing formation of the [4–14]. The diverse outcomes of calpain activity are the consequence of active site. The binding of Ca2+ to PC1 and PC2 induces considerable limited cleavage of specific substrates, although the underlying mole- structural changes required for an active protease core formation cular mechanisms remain unclear. Hence, calpain is attracting attention [2,15–19]. as a promising target for the treatment of these diseases [3].

  • Characterization of the Goose CAPN3 Gene and Its Expression Pattern in Muscle Tissues of Sichuan White Geese at Different Growth Stages
    http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jpsa doi:10.2141/ jpsa.0170150 Copyright Ⓒ 2018, Japan Poultry Science Association. Characterization of the Goose CAPN3 Gene and its Expression Pattern in Muscle Tissues of Sichuan White Geese at Different Growth Stages Hengyong Xu*, Yahui Zhang*, Quan Zou, Liang Li, Chunchun Han, Hehe Liu, Jiwei Hu, Tao Zhong and Yan Wang Farm Animal Genetic Resources Exploration and Innovation Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China Calpain 3 (CAPN3), also known as p94, is associated with multiple production traits in domestic animals. However, the molecular characteristics of the CAPN3 gene and its expression profile in goose tissues have not been reported. In this study, CAPN3 cDNA of the Sichuan white goose was cloned, sequenced, and characterized. The CAPN3 full-length cDNA sequence consists of a 2,316-bp coding sequence (CDS) that encodes 771 amino acids with a molecular mass of 89,019 kDa. The protein was predicted to have no signal peptide, but several N-glycosylation, O- glycosylation, and phosphorylation sites. The secondary structure of CAPN3 was predicted to be 38.65% α-helical. Sequence alignment showed that CAPN3 of Sichuan white goose shared more than 90% amino acid sequence similarity with those of Japanese quail, turkey, helmeted guineafowl, duck, pigeon, and chicken. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that goose CAPN3 has a close genetic relationship and small evolutionary distance with those of the birds. qRT-PCR analysis showed that in 15-day-old animals, the expression level of CAPN3 was significantly higher in breast muscle than in thigh tissues.

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.

  • Calpain-10 Regulates Actin Dynamics by Proteolysis of Microtubule-Associated Protein 1B
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Calpain-10 regulates actin dynamics by proteolysis of microtubule-associated protein 1B Received: 15 September 2015 Tomohisa Hatta1, Shun-ichiro Iemura1,6, Tomokazu Ohishi2, Hiroshi Nakayama3, Accepted: 1 November 2018 Hiroyuki Seimiya 2, Takao Yasuda4, Katsumi Iizuka5, Mitsunori Fukuda4, Jun Takeda5, Published: xx xx xxxx Tohru Natsume1 & Yukio Horikawa5 Calpain-10 (CAPN10) is the calpain family protease identifed as the frst candidate susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the detailed molecular mechanism has not yet been elucidated. Here we report that CAPN10 processes microtubule associated protein 1 (MAP1) family proteins into heavy and light chains and regulates their binding activities to microtubules and actin flaments. Immunofuorescent analysis of Capn10−/− mouse embryonic fbroblasts shows that MAP1B, a member of the MAP1 family of proteins, is localized at actin flaments rather than at microtubules. Furthermore, fuorescence recovery after photo-bleaching analysis shows that calpain-10 regulates actin dynamics via MAP1B cleavage. Moreover, in pancreatic islets from CAPN10 knockout mice, insulin secretion was signifcantly increased both at the high and low glucose levels. These fndings indicate that defciency of calpain-10 expression may afect insulin secretion by abnormal actin reorganization, coordination and dynamics through MAP1 family processing. Calpains are a family of intracellular non-lysosomal calcium-activated neutral cysteine proteases known to cleave various substrate proteins and modulate their activities. Tere are 16 calpains, some of which are ubiquitously expressed and others displaying tissue-specifc distribution. Some calpains contain a penta-EF-hand domain (typical or classical calpains), and others do not (atypical calpains). Several calpain family members are impli- cated in the development of various diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, cataracts, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2A and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)1.

Published in final edited form as: Physiol Genomics. 2018 September 01; 50(9): 770–779. doi:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00051.2018. Influenza virus infection modulates the death receptor pathway during early stages of infection in human bronchial epithelial cells Sreekumar Othumpangat, Donald H. Beezhold, and John D. Noti Allergy and Clinical Immunology Branch, Health Effects Laboratory Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Morgantown, West Virginia Abstract Host-viral interaction occurring throughout the infection process between the influenza A virus (IAV) and bronchial cells determines the success of infection. Our previous studies showed that the apoptotic pathway triggered by the host cells was repressed by IAV facilitating prolonged survival of infected cells. A detailed understanding on the role of IAV in altering the cell death pathway during early-stage infection of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEpCs) is still unclear. We investigated the gene expression profiles of IAV-infected vs. mock-infected cells at the early stage of infection with a PCR array for death receptor (DR) pathway. At early stages infection (2 h) with IAV significantly upregulated DR pathway genes in HBEpCs, whereas 6 h exposure to IAV resulted in down-regulation of the same genes. IAV replication in HBEpCs decreased the levels of DR pathway genes including TNF-receptor superfamily 1, Fas-associated death domain, caspase-8, and caspase-3 by 6 h, resulting in increased survival of cells.

  • Regulation and Physiological Roles of the Calpain System in Muscular Disorders
    Cardiovascular Research (2012) 96,11–22 SPOTLIGHT REVIEW doi:10.1093/cvr/cvs157 Regulation and physiological roles of the calpain system in muscular disorders Hiroyuki Sorimachi* and Yasuko Ono* Calpain Project, Department of Advanced Science for Biomolecules, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, 2-1-6 Kamikitazawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 156-8506, Japan Received 1 February 2012; revised 16 April 2012; accepted 24 April 2012; online publish-ahead-of-print 27 April 2012 + Abstract Calpains, a family of Ca2 -dependent cytosolic cysteine proteases, can modulate their substrates’ structure and func- tion through limited proteolytic activity. In the human genome, there are 15 calpain genes. The most-studied calpains, referred to as conventional calpains, are ubiquitous. While genetic studies in mice have improved our understanding about the conventional calpains’ physiological functions, especially those essential for mammalian life as in embryo- genesis, many reports have pointed to overactivated conventional calpains as an exacerbating factor in pathophysio- logical conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and muscular dystrophies. For treatment of these diseases, calpain inhibitors have always been considered as drug targets. Recent studies have introduced another aspect of calpains that calpain activity is required to protect the heart and skeletal muscle against stress. This review summarizes the functions and regulation of calpains, focusing on the relevance of calpains to cardiovascular disease. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAPNS1 REGULATES USP1 STABILITY AND STEM CELLS MAINTENANCE Francesca Cataldo and Francesca Demarchi CIB National Laboratory, Area Science Park, Padriciano 99, 34149 Trieste Abstract — Calpains are a family of calcium-related cysteine-proteases that are involved in a wide number of cellular processes. The ubiquitous calpains, micro- and milli-calpain, are heterodimers composed of catalytic subunits and a common regulatory subunit, encoded by CAPNS1. We identified USP1 deubiquitinase as a CAPNS1-interacting protein. USP1 is a key modulator of DNA repair, partly through deubiquitination of its known targets FANCD2 and PCNA. Usp1 knockout mice have a severe phenotype and die soon after birth. Usp1−/− cells are defective in FANCD2 focus formation and are hypersensitive to DNA damage. PCNA ubiquitination is higher in USP1-depleted cells than in control cells, thus leading to recruitment of error-prone, translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) polymerases and the consequent increase in mutation rate. USP1 promotes inhibitor of DNA binding (ID) protein stability and stem cell-like characteristics in osteosarcoma and is required for normal skeletogenesis. We found that the ubiquitinated form of the USP1 substrate PCNA is stabilized in CAPNS1-depleted U2OS cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), favoring polymerase-η loading on chromatin and increased mutagenesis.
