EF-hand, calcium binding motif, found in the hexa-EF hand proteins family; The hexa-EF hand proteins family, also named the calbindin sub-family, contains a group of six EF-hand Ca2+-binding proteins, including calretinin (CR, also termed 29 kDa calbindin), calbindin D28K (CB, also termed vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, avian-type), and secretagogin (SCGN). CR is a cytosolic hexa-EF-hand calcium-binding protein predominantly expressed in a variety of normal and tumorigenic t-specific neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system. It is a multifunctional protein implicated in many biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and cell death. CB is highly expressed in brain tissue. It is a strong calcium-binding and buffering protein responsible for preventing a neuronal death as well as maintaining and controlling calcium homeostasis. SCGN is a six EF-hand calcium-binding protein expressed in neuroendocrine, pancreatic endocrine and retinal cells. It plays a crucial role in cell apoptosis, receptor signaling and differentiation. It is also involved in vesicle secretion through binding to various proteins, including interacts with SNAP25, SNAP23, DOC2alpha, ARFGAP2, rootletin, KIF5B, beta-tubulin, DDAH-2, ATP-synthase and myeloid leukemia factor 2. SCGN functions as a Ca2+ sensor/coincidence detector modulating vesicular exocytosis of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides or hormones. Although the family members share a significant amount of secondary sequence homology, they display altered structural and biochemical characteristics, and operate in distinct fashions. CB contains six EF-hand motifs in a single globular domain, where EF-hands 1, 3, 4, 5 bind four calcium ions. CR contains six EF-hand motifs within two independent domains, CR I-II and CR III-VI. They harbor two and four EF-hand motifs, respectively. The first 5 EF-hand motifs are capable of binding calcium ions, while the EF-hand 6 is inactive. SCGN consists of the three globular domains each of which contains a pair of EF-hand motifs. Human SCGN simultaneously binds four calcium ions through its EF-hands 3, 4, 5 and 6 in one high affinity and three low affinity calcium-binding sites. In contrast, SCGNs in other lower eukaryotes, such as D. rerio, X. laevis, M. domestica, G. gallus, O. anatinus, are fully competent in terms of six calcium-binding.

It plays a crucial role in cell apoptosis, receptor signaling and differentiation. It is also involved in vesicle secretion through binding to various proteins, including interacts with SNAP25, SNAP23, DOC2alpha, ARFGAP2, rootletin, KIF5B, beta-tubulin, DDAH-2, ATP-synthase and myeloid leukemia factor 2. SCGN functions as a calcium sensor/coincidence detector modulating vesicular exocytosis of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides or hormones. It also serves as a calcium buffer in neurons. Thus, SCGN may be linked to the pathogenesis of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, and also acts as a serum marker of neuronal damage, or as a tumor biomarker. SCGN consists of the three globular domains each of which contains a pair of EF-hand motifs. All six EF hand motifs of SCGN in some eukaryotes, including D. rerio, X. laevis, M. domestica, G. gallus, O. anatinus, could potentially bind six calcium ions. In contrast, SCGNs from higher eukaryotes have at least one non-functional EF-hand motif due to the mutation(s) or deletions. For instance, the EF1 loop does not coordinate calcium ion due to the key residue asparagine replaced by lysine in SCGNs of many mammalian species. Moreover, the EF2 loop seems to be competent for calcium-binding in most mammalian SCGNs except for human and chimpanzee orthologs.

Penta-EF hand, calcium binding motifs, found in Group I PEF proteins; The family corresponds to Group I PEF proteins that have been found not only in higher animals but also in lower animals, plants, fungi and protists. Group I PEF proteins include apoptosis-linked gene 2 protein (ALG-2), peflin and similar proteins. ALG-2, also termed programmed cell death protein 6 (PDCD6), is a widely expressed calcium-binding modulator protein associated with cell proliferation and death, as well as cell survival. It forms a homodimer in the cell or a heterodimer with its closest paralog peflin. Among the PEF proteins, ALG-2 can bind three Ca2+ ions through its EF1, EF3, and EF5 hands, where it is unique in that its EF5 hand binds Ca2+ ion in a canonical coordination. Peflin is a ubiquitously expressed 30-kD PEF protein containing five EF-hand motifs in its C-terminal domain and a longer N-terminal hydrophobic domain (NHB domain) than any other member of the PEF family. The NHB domain harbors nine repeats of a nonapeptide (A/PPGGPYGGP). Peflin may modulate the function of ALG-2 in Ca2+ signaling. It exists only as a heterodimer with ALG-2, and binds two Ca2+ ions through its EF1 and EF3 hands. Its additional EF5 hand is unpaired and does not bind Ca2+ ion but mediates the heterodimerization with ALG-2. The dissociation of heterodimer occurs in the presence of Ca2+.

EF-hand, calcium binding motif, found in beta-parvalbumin; Beta-parvalbumin, also termed Oncomodulin-1 (OM), is a small calcium-binding protein that is expressed in hepatomas, as well as in the blastocyst and the cytotrophoblasts of the placenta. It is also found to be expressed in the cochlear outer hair cells of the organ of Corti and frequently expressed in neoplasms. Mammalian beta-parvalbumin is secreted by activated macrophages and neutrophils. It may function as a tissue-specific Ca2+-dependent regulatory protein, and may also serve as a specialized cytosolic Ca2+ buffer. Beta-parvalbumin acts as a potent growth-promoting signal between the innate immune system and neurons in vivo. It has high and specific affinity for its receptor on retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and functions as the principal mediator of optic nerve regeneration. It exerts its effects in a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent manner and can further elevate intracellular cAMP levels. Moreover, beta-parvalbumin is associated with efferent function and outer hair cell electromotility, and can identify different hair cell types in the mammalian inner ear. Beta-parvalbumin is characterized by the presence of three consecutive EF-hand motifs (helix-loop-helix) called AB, CD, and EF, but only CD and EF can chelate metal ions, such as Ca2+ and Mg2+. The EF site displays a high-affinity for Ca2+/Mg2+, and the CD site is a low-affinity Ca2+-specific site. In addition, beta-parvalbumin is distinguished from other parvalbumins by its unusually low isoelectric point (pI = 3.1) and sequence eccentricities (e.g., Y57-L58-D59 instead of F57-I58-E59).

These homologs contains five EF-hand motifs. Due to the presence of unfavorable residues at the Ca2+-coordinating positions, their non-canonical EF4 and EF5 hands may not bind Ca2+. Two Dictyostelium PEF proteins are the prototypes of this family. They may bind to cytoskeletal proteins and/or signal-transducing proteins localized to detergent-resistant membranes named lipid rafts, and occur as monomers or weak homo- or heterodimers like ALG-2.

The penta-EF hand (PEF) family; The penta-EF hand (PEF) family contains a group of five EF-hand calcium-binding proteins, including several classical calpain large catalytic subunits (CAPN1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14), two calpain small subunits (CAPNS1 and CAPNS2), as well as non-calpain PEF proteins, ALG-2 (apoptosis-linked gene 2, also termed programmed cell death protein 6, PDCD6), peflin, sorcin, and grancalcin. Based on the sequence similarity of EF1 hand, ALG-2 and peflin have been classified into group I PEF proteins. Calcium-dependent protease calpain subfamily members, sorcin and grancalcin, are group II PEF proteins. Calpains (EC 3.4.22.17) are calcium-activated intracellular cysteine proteases that play important roles in the degradation or functional modulation in a variety of substrates. They have been implicated in a number of physiological processes such as cell cycle progression, remodeling of cytoskeletal-cell membrane attachments, signal transduction, gene expression and apoptosis. ALG-2 is a pro-apoptotic factor that forms a homodimer in the cell or a heterodimer with its closest paralog peflin through their EF5s. Peflin is a 30-kD PEF protein with a longer N-terminal hydrophobic domain than any other member of the PEF family, and it contains nine nonapeptide (A/PPGGPYGGP) repeats. It exists only as a heterodimer with ALG-2. The dissociation of heterodimer occurs in the presence of Ca2+. ALG-2 interacts with various proteins in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Sorcin (for soluble resistance-related calcium binding protein) is a soluble resistance-related calcium-binding protein that participates in the regulation of calcium homeostasis in cells. Grancalcin is a cytosolic Ca2+-binding protein specifically expressed in neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages. It plays a key role in leukocyte-specific functions that are responsible for host defense. Grancalcin can form a heterodimer together with sorcin. Members in this family contain five EF-hand motifs attached to an N-terminal region of variable length containing one or more short Gly/Pro-rich sequences. These proteins form homodimers or heterodimers through pairing between the 5th EF-hands from the two molecules. Unlike calmodulin, the PEF domains do not undergo major conformational changes upon binding Ca2+. Pssm-ID: 320054 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 165 Bit Score: 41.65 E-value: 1.18e-04

EF-hand, calcium binding motif, found in parvalbumin-like EF-hand family; The family includes alpha- and beta-parvalbumins, and a group of uncharacterized calglandulin-like proteins. Parvalbumins are small, acidic, cytosolic EF-hand-containing Ca2+-buffer and Ca2+ transporter/shuttle proteins belonging to EF-hand superfamily. They are expressed by vertebrates in fast-twitch muscle cells, specific neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system, sensory cells of the mammalian auditory organ (Corti's cell), and some other cells, and characterized by the presence of three consecutive EF-hand motifs (helix-loop-helix) called AB, CD, and EF, but only CD and EF can chelate metal ions, such as Ca2+ and Mg2+. Thus, they may play an additional role in Mg2+ handling. Moreover, parvalbumins represent one of the major animal allergens. In metal-bound states, parvalbumins possess a rigid and stable tertiary structure and display strong allergenicity. In contrast, the metal-free parvalbumins are intrinsically disordered, and the loss of metal ions results in a conformational change that decreases their IgE binding capacity. Furthermore, parvalbumins have been widely used as a neuronal marker for a variety of functional brain systems. They also function as a Ca2+ shuttle transporting Ca2+ from troponin-C (TnC) to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ pump during muscle relaxation. Thus they may facilitate myocardial relaxation and play important roles in cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

Penta-EF hand, calcium binding motifs, found in PEF calpain family; The PEF calpain family belongs to the second group of penta-EF hand (PEF) proteins. It includes classical (also called conventional or typical) calpain (referring to a calcium-dependent papain-like enzymes, EC 3.4.22.17) large catalytic subunits (CAPN1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14) and two calpain small subunits (CAPNS1 and CAPNS2), which are largely confined to animals (metazoans). These PEF-containing are nonlysosomal intracellular calcium-activated intracellular cysteine proteases that play important roles in the degradation or functional modulation in a variety of substrates in response to calcium signalling. The classical mu- and m-calpains are heterodimers consisting of homologous but a distinct (large) L-subunit/chain (CAPN1 or CAPN2) and a common (small) S-subunit/chain (CAPNS1 or CAPNS2). These L-subunits (CAPN1 and CAPN2) and S-subunit CAPNS1 are ubiquitously found in all tissues. Other calpains likely consist of an isolated L-subunit/chain alone. Many of them, such as CAPNS2, CAPN3 (in skeletal muscle, or lens), CAPN8 (in stomach), CAPN9 (in digestive tracts), CAPN11 (in testis), CAPN12 (in follicles), are tissue-specific and have specific functions in distinct organs. The L-subunits of similar structure (called CALPA and B) also have been found in Drosophila melanogaster. The S-subunit seems to have a chaperone-like function for proper folding of the L-subunit. The catalytic L-subunits contain a short N-terminal anchor helix, followed by a calpain cysteine protease (CysPc) domain, a C2-domain-like (C2L) domain, and a C-terminal Ca2+-binding penta-EF-hand (PEF) domain. The S-subunits only have the PEF domain following an N-terminal Gly-rich hydrophobic domain. The calpains undergo a rearrangement of the protein backbone upon Ca2+-binding.

EF-hand motif found in eukaryotic phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC, EC 3.1.4.11) isozymes; PI-PLC isozymes are signaling enzymes that hydrolyze the membrane phospholipids phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to generate two important second messengers in eukaryotic signal transduction cascades, Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). InsP3 triggers inflow of calcium from intracellular stores, while DAG, together with calcium, activates protein kinase C, which goes on to phosphorylate other molecules, leading to altered cellular activity. Calcium is required for the catalysis. This family corresponds to the four EF-hand motifs containing PI-PLC isozymes, including PI-PLC-beta (1-4), -gamma (1-2), -delta (1,3,4), -epsilon (1), -zeta (1), eta (1-2). Lower eukaryotes such as yeast and slime molds contain only delta-type isozymes. In contrast, other types of isoforms present in higher eukaryotes. This family also includes 1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase 1 (PLC1) from fungi. Some homologs from plants contain only two atypical EF-hand motifs and they are not included. All PI-PLC isozymes except sperm-specific PI-PLC-zeta share a core set of domains, including an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, four atypical EF-hand motifs, a PLC catalytic core, and a single C2 domain. PI-PLC-zeta lacks the PH domain. The PLC catalytic core domain is a TIM barrel with two highly conserved regions (X and Y) split by a highly degenerate linker sequence. Most of EF-hand motifs found in PI-PLCs consist of a helix-loop-helix structure, but lack residues critical to metal binding. Moreover, the EF-hand region of most of PI-PLCs may have an important regulatory function, but it has yet to be identified. However, PI-PLC-zeta is a key exception. It is responsible for Ca2+ oscillations in fertilized oocytes and exhibits a high sensitivity to Ca2+ mediated through its EF-hand domain. In addition, PI-PLC-eta2 shows a canonical EF-loop directing Ca2+-sensitivity and thus can amplify transient Ca2+ signals. Also it appears that PI-PLC-delta1 can regulate the binding of PH domain to PIP2 in a Ca2+-dependent manner through its functionally important EF-hand domains. PI-PLCs can be activated by a variety of extracellular ligands, such as growth factors, hormones, cytokines and lipids. Their activation has been implicated in tumorigenesis and/or metastasis linked to migration, proliferation, growth, inflammation, angiogenesis and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. PI-PLC-beta isozymes are activated by G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) through different mechanisms. However, PI-PLC-gamma isozymes are activated by receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), such as Rho and Ras GTPases. In contrast, PI-PLC-epsilon are activated by both GPCR and RTK. PI-PLC-delta1 and PLC-eta 1 are activated by GPCR-mediated calcium mobilization. The activation mechanism for PI-PLC-zeta remains unclear.

EF-hand, calcium binding motif, found in alpha-parvalbumin; Alpha-parvalbumin is cytosolic Ca2+/Mg2+-binding protein expressed mainly in fast-twitch skeletal myofibrils, where it may act as a soluble relaxing factor facilitating the Ca2+-mediated relaxation phase. It is also expressed in rapidly firing neurons, particularly GABA-ergic neurons, and thus may confer protection against Ca2+ toxicity. The major role of alpha-parvalbumin is metal buffering and transport of Ca2+. It binds different metal cations, and exhibits very high affinity for Ca2+ and physiologically significant affinity for Mg2+. Alpha-parvalbumin is characterized by the presence of three consecutive EF-hand motifs (helix-loop-helix) called AB, CD, and EF, but only CD and EF can chelate metal ions, such as Ca2+ and Mg2+. Both metal ion-binding sites in alpha-parvalbumin are high-affinity sites. Additionally, in contrast to beta-parvalbumin, alpha-parvalbumin is less acidic and has an additional residue in the C-terminal helix.
