| UniProt functional annotation for Q07009 | |||
| UniProt code: Q07009. |
| Organism: | Rattus norvegicus (Rat). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus. | |
| Function: | Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease which catalyze limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction. Proteolytically cleaves MYOC at 'Arg-226'. Proteolytically cleaves CPEB3 following neuronal stimulation which abolishes CPEB3 translational repressor activity, leading to translation of CPEB3 target mRNAs. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O08529, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P17655}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Broad endopeptidase specificity.; EC=3.4.22.53; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Note=Binds 7 Ca(2+) ions.; | |
| Activity regulation: | Activated by 200-1000 micromolar concentrations of calcium and inhibited by calpastatin. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a heterodimer with a small (regulatory) subunit (CAPNS1) (PubMed:19020622, PubMed:19020623). Interacts with CPEB3; this leads to cleavage of CPEB3 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O08529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19020622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19020623}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}. Note=Translocates to the plasma membrane upon Ca(2+) binding. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Ubiquitous. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase C2 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
