摘要: Intracellular localization of the penta-EF-hand Ca2+-binding protein ALG-2 in HeLa cells was investigated by immunofluorescent confocal microscopy using a polyclonal antibody. In addition to its presence nucleus, found be distributed punctate pattern cytoplasm, where it partly co-stained with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit site marker p125. vitro GST pull down analysis demonstrated that and alternatively spliced isoform interact COPII component Sec31A Ca2+-dependent manner, biotin-labeled overlay assay revealed direct binding Sec31A. Biochemical microscopic analyses showed enriched at Sec31A-localizing membrane compartments upon stimulation Ca2+ ionophore A23187. contrast, treatment membrane-permeant chelator BAPTA-AM led dispersion throughout significant loss perinuclear region. These findings establish as novel target for provide framework studies on roles ER-Golgi transport.
