Calmodulin-2 (CALM2)

The protein contains 149 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 16838 Da.

 

Calmodulin mediates the control of a large number of enzymes, ion channels, aquaporins and other proteins through calcium-binding. Among the enzymes to be stimulated by the calmodulin-calcium complex are a number of protein kinases and phosphatases. Together with CCP110 and centrin, is involved in a genetic pathway that regulates the centrosome cycle and progression through cytokinesis (PubMed:16760425). Mediates calcium-dependent inactivation of CACNA1C (PubMed:26969752). Positively regulates calcium-activated potassium channel activity of KCNN2 (PubMed:27165696). (updated: Sept. 12, 2018)

CLONING

Sen Gupta et al. (1987) first identified and cloned the second calmodulin gene. Fischer et al. (1988) noted that, although the CALM1 (114180), CALM2, and CALM3 (114183) proteins are identical, at the nucleotide level they share only about 80% identity within their coding regions, and they contain no significant homology within their noncoding regions. Using a sequence from CALM3 as probe, Toutenhoofd et al. (1998) cloned CALM2 from a small intestine mucosa cDNA library. Northern blot analysis revealed a major 1.4-kb transcript in all tissues tested, with highest expression in brain. High levels of expression were also found in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, and kidney, with lowest levels found in pancreas.

GENE STRUCTURE

Toutenhoofd et al. (1998) determined that the CALM2 gene contains 6 exons and spans more than 16 kb. Within the 5-prime flanking region, CALM2 contains a TATA-like sequence, a far upstream CCAAT box, several AP1 (165160)-, AP2 (see 107580)-, and CRE (see 123811)-binding sites, and a repeated AGGGA motif that is found in other CALM genes.

MAPPING

McPherson et al. (1991) tentatively assigned the CALM2 gene to chromosome 10 by study of somatic cell hybrids. However, by PCR-based amplification of CALM2-specific sequences using DNA from human/hamster cell hybrids as template, Berchtold et al. (1993) found that the CALM2 gene is located on chromosome 2. They regionalized the gene to 2p21.3-p21.1 by in situ hybridization.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

- Long QT Syndrome 15 In a Hispanic girl with markedly prolonged QTc intervals and multiple episodes of ventricular fibrillation (LQT15; 616249), Crotti et al. (2013) performed exome sequencing and identified a heterozygous de novo missense mutation in the CALM2 gene (D96V; 114182.0001). In 5 unrelated patients of varying ancestry with long QT syndrome, Makita et al. (2014) identified heterozygosity for 5 different de novo missense mutations in the CALM2 gene (114182.0002-114182.0006). Functional analysis demonstrated significant reductions in calcium-binding affinity with the variants compared to wildtype calmodulin. ... More on the omim web site
