DESCRIPTION

Calpain (calcium-dependent protease; EC 3.4.22.17) is an intracellular protease that requires calcium for its catalytic activity. Two isozymes, calpain I (mu-calpain) and calpain II (m-calpain), with different calcium requirements, have been identified. Both are heterodimers composed of L (large, catalytic, 80 kD) and S (small, regulatory, 30 kD) subunits. The isozymes share an identical S subunit (CAPNS1; 114170), with the differences arising from the L subunits, L1 (CAPN1) and L2 (CAPN2; 114230) (summary by Ohno et al., 1990).

GENE FUNCTION

By quantitative RT-PCR, Ueyama et al. (1998) found that expression of calpain-1 and calpain-2 mRNA was significantly increased in muscle biopsy samples derived from 5 men with progressive muscular dystrophy (e.g., DMD; 310200) and 2 men and 3 women with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; 105400) compared with controls. Using cell biologic, pharmacologic, and genetic methods, Chandramohanadas et al. (2009) found that the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agents of malaria and toxoplasmosis, respectively, used host cell calpains to facilitate parasite egress. Immunodepletion and inhibition experiments showed that calpain-1 was required for escape of P. falciparum from human erythrocytes. Similarly, elimination of both calpain-1 and calpain-2 via small interfering RNA against the common regulatory subunit CAPNS1 in human osteosarcoma cells or deletion of Capns1 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts blocked egress of T. gondii. Chandramohanadas et al. (2009) concluded that P. falciparum and T. gondii both exploit host cell calpains to facilitate escape from intracellular parasitophorous vacuoles and/or the host plasma membrane, a process required for parasite proliferation.

MAPPING

Using cDNA clones as probes, Ohno et al. (1989, 1990) mapped the CANPL1 and CANPL2 genes as well as the CANPS gene and a gene for another protein, L3 (CAPN3; 114240), that is homologous to the other 2 L subunits. They used a combination of spot-blot hybridization with sorted chromosomes and Southern hybridization with human-mouse cell hybrid DNAs. In this way they were able to assign CANPL1 to chromosome 11, CANPL2 to chromosome 1, CANPL3 to chromosome 15, and CANPS to chromosome 19. Courseaux et al. (1996) used a combination of methods to refine maps of an approximately 5-Mb region of 11q13. They mapped the CAPN1 gene within this region, telomeric to the FAU gene (134690) and centromeric to the MLK3 (MAP3K11; 600050) and RELA (164014) genes. ... More on the omim web site
