Endoplasmic reticulum resident protein 29 (ERP29)

The protein contains 261 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 28993 Da.

 

Does not seem to be a disulfide isomerase. Plays an important role in the processing of secretory proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), possibly by participating in the folding of proteins in the ER. (updated: April 1, 2015)

CLONING

Reticuloplasmins are proteins found in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Demmer et al. (1997) cloned ERp29, a 29-kD reticuloplasmin, from rat enamel cells by microsequencing of the purified protein followed by RT-PCR. ERp29 has the N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence and C-terminal endoplasmic reticulum retention motif (KEEL) characteristic of reticuloplasmins, but lacks calcium-binding motifs. Northern blot analysis showed that ERp29 is widely expressed in rat tissues. A homologous transcript was expressed in human hepatoma cells. Ferrari et al. (1998) cloned ERP29, which they designated ERP28, from a human liver cDNA library. The deduced 229-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 24.8 kD and contains the KEEL ER retention signal. The purified protein migrates as a dimer under nondenaturing conditions and as a 28-kD monomer by SDS-PAGE. The same apparent masses are seen with recombinant protein and protein purified from human hepatocellular carcinoma cells or from bovine liver, indicating lack of glycosylation. Ferrari et al. (1998) found that ERP29 shares 92% sequence identity with the rat homolog. It shows low but significant similarity with members of the protein disulfide isomerase family (see 176790), but does not contain a reactive thioredoxin-box motif. Immunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation studies showed colocalization of ERP29 with calreticulin (109091) in the ER.
