Cyclophilin A (CyPA) was identified as one of the calreticulin (CR)-binding proteins in a yeast two-hybrid screen utilizing simian cDNA expression-library. The simian CyPA protein had 96% identity with that of human, differing only at eight amino acid residues. We further established CyPA-CR interaction by incubation of glutathione transferase-fused CyPA (GST-CyPA) and CR proteins with CV-1 cyto-lysates, followed by CR and CyPA-specific immuno-blot analysis. The immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A, a CyPA ligand, did not inhibit CyPA-CR interaction. Our results established a new property of CyPA binding activity to CR. Since CR is a Ca2+-binding protein, CR-CyPA interactions may be important in signaling pathways for induction of Ca2+-dependent cellular processes.
在利用猿猴cDNA表达文库进行的酵母双杂交筛选中,亲环素A(CyPA)被鉴定为钙网蛋白(CR)结合蛋白之一。猿猴CyPA蛋白与人类的具有96%的同一性,仅在八个氨基酸残基处有所不同。我们通过将谷胱甘肽转移酶融合的CyPA(GST-CyPA)和CR蛋白与CV-1细胞裂解物一起孵育,随后进行CR和CyPA特异性免疫印迹分析,进一步证实了CyPA-CR相互作用。免疫抑制药物环孢素A是一种CyPA配体,它并不抑制CyPA-CR相互作用。我们的结果确定了CyPA与CR结合活性的新特性。由于CR是一种Ca2+结合蛋白,CR-CyPA相互作用可能在诱导Ca2+依赖性细胞过程的信号通路中起重要作用。
