Abstract
A calsequentrin (CS)-like glycoprotein is present in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of chicken pectoralis muscle, which displays unusual properties: it binds relatively low amounts of Ca2+, compared to CS in mammalian skeletal muscle (Yap & MacLennan, 1976), it does not exhibit a marked pH-dependent shift in mobility in sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and its metachromatic staining properties with Stains All are likewise peculiar (Damiani et al., 1986). We have now definitively localized the same protein to the junctional terminal cisternae (TC) fraction of the SR of chicken pectoralis muscle and have further characterized it, following purification by crystallization with Ca2+ and by Ca2(+)-dependent elution from phenyl-Sepharose columns. The purified protein (apparent Mr: 51 kDa), isoelectrofocuses at pH 4.5, and is readily identified on blots by a 45Ca overlay technique, similar to CS of rabbit skeletal muscle, but it binds half as much Ca2+ (about 20 moles of Ca2+ per mole of protein), as estimated by equilibrium dialysis. However, the chicken protein shares extensive similarities with mammalian CSs, concerning Ca2(+)-induced changes in maximum intrinsic fluorescence and the Ca2(+)-modulated interaction with phenyl-Sepharose, as well as in being protected by Ca2+ from proteolysis by either trypsin or chymotrypsin. We discuss how the presence of a Ca2(+)-regulated hydrophobic site in the CS molecule appears to be the most invariant property of the CS-family of Ca2(+)-binding proteins.

Abstract
The Drosophila gene ectodermal (ect, located at 67D8-10 on chromosome 3) is expressed for a short period at mid-embryogenesis in all ectodermally derived tissues except the nervous system. During this stage the tissues involved form tubular structures by a process of invagination followed by cell fusion. Here we report the sequence of the ect protein as deduced from the longest ORF (280 codons) of an ect cDNA. The principal molecular features of the ect protein are: 1) a consensus leader sequence for targeting to the rough ER; 2) a central domain containing a remarkably high density of acidic residues arranged in large clusters separated by smaller clusters of hydrophobic residues; 3) a consensus nuclear-targeting sequence near the C-terminus; 4) a single tyrosine residue located at a potential tyrosine-sulfation site. The antibody staining pattern of the ect protein corresponds to the in situ hybridization pattern of the transcript. A possible role for the ect protein in the complex process of tubular formation that occurs in embryonic ectodermal tissues is discussed.

Abstract
Plant microsomes contain a protein clearly related to a calcium-binding protein, calsequestrin, originally found in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells, responsible for the rapid release and uptake of Ca(2+) within the cells. The location and role of calsequestrin in plant cells is unknown. To generate monoclonal antibodies specific to plant calsequestrin, mice were immunized with a microsomal fraction from cultured cells of Streptanthus tortuosus (Brassicaceae). Two clones cross-reacted with one protein band with a molecular weight equal to that of calsequestrin (57 kilodaltons) by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. This band is able to bind (45)Ca(2+) and can be recognized by a polyclonal antibody against the canine cardiac muscle calsequestrin. Rabbit skeletal muscle calsequestrin cross-reacted with the plant monoclonal antibodies. The plant monoclonal antibodies generated here are specific to calsequestrin protein.

Abstract
The complete amino acid sequence of CRP55, the major 55 kd calcium binding protein of the ER lumen, was deduced from the murine cDNA nucleotide sequence. This was completed using a novel application of PCR amplification. The mature 399 residue protein encoded is preceded by a 17 amino acid leader sequence and ends in the ER signal sequence, KDEL. The protein contains no calcium binding motifs of the EF hand type or of the form seen in calelectrin-related proteins. The major region of potential low affinity calcium binding sites is a polyacidic stretch towards the C terminus. The primary structure of the protein is markedly zonal. The N-terminal region, of approximately neutral net charge and hydrophobicity, is followed by a central proline-rich zone with repeat sequences separated from the polyacidic C-terminal stretch by a short hydrophobic sequence. The general shape suggested is a globular domain attached to an extended tail. Immunofluorescence studies show that the protein is present in skeletal muscle and indicate that it is a sarcoplasmic reticulum protein. We propose that the protein be named calreticulin to reflect its calcium binding activity and location in the ER and SR.

Abstract
The dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor from rabbit skeletal muscle has been characterized by affinity labeling and purification. Two procedures were used for purification: one that was a procedure modified from that of Curtis and Catterall (1984) and one that employed an anti alpha 1 monoclonal antibody (Mab) affinity column. In addition, both digitonin and CHAPS solubilizations were utilized with each purification technique. The major findings are as follows: (1) In contrast to the behavior in digitonin, neither the 52K (beta) nor the 140K (alpha 2) polypeptide quantitatively copurifies with the 170K (alpha 1) polypeptide when the purification is carried out in CHAPS. This has been shown by use of both wheat germ and monoclonal antibody columns. The digitonin-extracted receptor complex bound to the Mab affinity column loses alpha 2 and beta when the digitonin is replaced by CHAPS, and when the complex is bound to a WGA column, a CHAPS wash causes dissociation of alpha 1, beta, and gamma from alpha 2. Loss of binding of dihydropyridines occurs with the CHAPS wash but can be partially restored by the addition of the CHAPS wash to the material eluted from the column with N-acetylglucosamine. (2) Although both detergents solubilized greater than 80% of the polypeptides associated with the DHP binding site, the ability of these proteins to bind dihydropyridines is reduced more by CHAPS treatment than by digitonin treatment, raising the possibility that subunit interactions contribute to high-affinity binding. Alternatively, CHAPS may remove tightly bound lipids necessary for binding or cause irreversible denaturation of the binding site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Complementary DNAs for the beta subunit of the dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel of rabbit skeletal muscle were isolated on the basis of peptide sequences derived from the purified protein. The deduced primary structure is without homology to other known protein sequences and is consistent with the beta subunit being a peripheral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic aspect of the sarcolemma. The protein contains sites that might be expected to be preferentially phosphorylated by protein kinase C and guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. A messenger RNA for this protein appears to be expressed in brain.

Abstract
Antibody screening was used to isolate a cDNA encoding the 160-kDa glycoprotein of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. The cDNA is identical to that encoding the 53-kDa glycoprotein except that it contains an in-frame insertion of 1308 nucleotides near its 5' end, apparently resulting from alternative splicing. The protein encoded by the cDNA would contain a 19-residue NH2-terminal signal sequence and a 453-residue COOH-terminal sequence identical to the 53-kDa glycoprotein. It would also contain a 436-amino acid insert between these sequences. This insert would be highly acidic, suggesting that it might bind Ca2+. The purified 160-kDa glycoprotein and the glycoprotein expressed in COS-1 cells transfected with cDNA encoding the 160-kDa glycoprotein were shown to bind 45Ca2+ in a gel overlay assay. The protein was shown to be located in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and to be associated through Ca2+ with the membrane. We propose that this lumenal Ca2+ binding glycoprotein of the sarcoplasmic reticulum be designated "sarcalumenin."

Abstract
Using an antiserum produced against a purified calsequestrin-like (CSL) protein from a microsomal fraction of sea urchin eggs, we performed light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical localizations on sea urchin eggs and embryos in the first cell cycle. The sea urchin CSL protein has been found to bind Ca++ similarly to calsequestrin, the well-characterized Ca++ storage protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells. In semi-thin frozen sections of unfertilized eggs, immunofluorescent staining revealed a tubuloreticular network throughout the cytoplasm. Staining of isolated egg cortices with the CSL protein antiserum showed the presence of a submembranous polygonal, tubular network similar to ER network patterns seen in other cells and in egg cortices treated with the membrane staining dye DiIC16[3]. In frozen sections of embryos during interphase of the first cell cycle, a cytoplasmic network similar to that of the unfertilized egg was present. During mitosis, we observed a dramatic concentration of the antibody staining within the asters of the mitotic apparatus where ER is known to aggregate. Electron microscopic localization on unfertilized eggs using peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody demonstrated the presence of the CSL protein within the luminal compartment of ER-like tubules. Finally, in frozen sections of centrifugally stratified eggs, the immunofluorescent staining concentrated in the clear zone: a layer highly enriched in ER and thought to be the site of calcium release upon fertilization. This localization of a CSL protein within the ER of the egg provides evidence for the ability of this organelle to serve a Ca++ storage role in the regulation of intracellular Ca++ in nonmuscle cells in general, and in the regulation of fertilization and cell division in sea urchin eggs in particular.

Abstract
Recent studies of isolated muscle membrane have enabled induction and monitoring of rapid Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)5 in vitro by a variety of methods. On the other hand, various proteins that may be directly or indirectly involved in the Ca2+ release mechanism have begun to be unveiled. In this mini-review, we attempt to deduce the molecular mechanism by which Ca2+ release is induced, regulated, and performed, by combining the updated information of the Ca2+ release kinetics with the accumulated knowledge about the key molecular components.

Abstract
The major form of calsequestrin in rabbit slow-twitch soleus muscle is shown to be identical to that isolated and cloned from rabbit fast-twitch muscle on the following bases: identity of cDNAs cloned from mRNAs from the two muscle sources; equivalent hybridization of a fast-twitch calsequestrin cDNA probe to mRNAs isolated from fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles; identity of the 23 amino-terminal amino acids; strong binding of 45Ca2+ in a gel overlay of slow muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum protein to a band at the level of the fast-twitch calsequestrin isoform and only weak binding at the level of the cardiac isoform. No evidence was obtained for developmentally regulated alternative splicing of the calsequestrin transcript in mature slow or fast-twitch muscle.

Abstract
Calciosomes are small cytoplasmic vacuoles identified in various nonmuscle cell types by their content of protein(s) similar to calsequestrin (CS), the Ca2+ storage protein of the muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). These entities have been interpreted as the "primitive" counterpart of the SR, and suggested to be the organelle target of inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate action (Volpe, P., K. H. Krause, S. Hashimoto, F. Zorzato, T. Pozzan, J. Meldolesi, and D. P. Lew. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 85:1091-1095). Immunoperoxidase and immunogold experiments carried out in both thick and ultrathin cryosections of rat hepatocytes and pancreatic acinar cells by using antimuscle CS antibodies revealed a specific labeling widely distributed in the entire cytoplasm, while nuclei were negative. Individual calciosomes appeared as small (105 nm) membrane-bound vacuoles intermingled with, and often apposed to ER cisternae and mitochondria. Other calciosomes were scattered in the Golgi area, in between zymogen granules and beneath the plasma membrane. The cumulative volume of the CS-positive organelles was measured to account for the 0.8 and 0.45% of the cytoplasm in liver and pancreas cells, respectively. The real total volume of the calciosome compartment is expected to be approximately twice as large. In hepatocytes, structures similar to CS-positive calciosomes were decorated by antibodies against the Ca2+ ATPase of muscle SR, while ER cisternae were not. By dual labeling, colocalization was revealed in 53.6% of the organelles, with 37.6% positive for the ATPase only. CS appeared preferentially confined to the content, and the Ca2+ ATPase to the contour of the organelle. The results suggested a partial segregation of the two antigens, reminiscent of their well-known segregation in muscle SR. Additional dual-label experiments demonstrated that hepatic calciosomes express neither two ER markers (cytochrome-P450 and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase) nor the endolysosome marker, luminal acidity (revealed by 3-[2,4-dinitroanilino]-3'-amino-N-methyl dipropylamine). Calciosomes appear as unique cytological entities, ideally equipped to play a role in the rapid-scale control of the cytosolic-free Ca2+ in nonmuscle cells.

Abstract
The composition and pH of atrial-specific granules of rat heart were determined by electron probe x-ray microanalysis and fluorescence microscopy, respectively. The high (75 mmol/kg of dry weight) calcium content and higher than cytoplasmic concentration of chloride in atrial-specific granules were visualized in high-resolution x-ray maps. The Cl- content of granules and cytoplasm decreased and a bromide gradient (granule greater than cytoplasm) was established during incubation in low-chloride, NaBr-containing solutions. Scanning confocal fluorescence light microscopy of live atria incubated with acridine orange demonstrated dye accumulation, indicative of low intragranular pH. We conclude that the granules represent a hitherto unrecognized intracellular store of cardiac calcium and can develop and maintain an anion gradient, presumably through cotransport by means of a proton-pumping ATPase.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CS) is the protein responsible for the high-capacity, moderate affinity binding of Ca2+ within the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, believed up to now to be specific for striated muscle. The cells of two nonmuscle lines (HL-60 and PC12) and of two rat tissues (liver and pancreas) are shown here to express a protein that resembles CS in many respects (apparent mass and pH-dependent migration in NaDodSO4/PAGE; blue staining with StainsAll dye; Ca2+ binding ability) and is specifically recognized by affinity-purified antibodies against skeletal muscle CS. In these cells, the CS-like protein is shown by immunofluorescence and immunogold procedures to be localized within peculiar, heretofore unrecognized structures distributed throughout the cytoplasm. These structures appear to be discrete organelles, which we propose to be named "calciosomes." By cell fractionation (Percoll gradient and free-flow electrophoresis), the CS-like protein of HL-60 cells is shown to copurify with the markers of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-P3)-sensitive Ca2+ store, whereas the markers of other organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, mitochondria, endosomes) and of the plasma membrane do not. Calciosome might thus be the intracellular target of Ins-P3--i.e., the source of the Ca2+ redistributed to the cytosol following receptor-triggered generation of the messenger.
