DiseaseCALM1_HUMAN The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Mutations in CALM1 are the cause of CPVT4. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Mutations in CALM1 are the cause of LQT14. FunctionCALM1_HUMAN Calmodulin mediates the control of a large number of enzymes, ion channels, aquaporins and other proteins through calcium-binding. Among the enzymes to be stimulated by the calmodulin-calcium complex are a number of protein kinases and phosphatases. Together with CCP110 and centrin, is involved in a genetic pathway that regulates the centrosome cycle and progression through cytokinesis (PubMed:16760425). Mediates calcium-dependent inactivation of CACNA1C (PubMed:26969752). Positively regulates calcium-activated potassium channel activity of KCNN2 (PubMed:27165696).[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedBridge-like lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs) play central roles in redistributing lipids from their primary site of synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum to other organelles. They comprise bridge-domains spanning between organelles at contact sites that allow lipids to transit the cytosol between adjacent membranes. The assembly of BLTPs into complexes with adaptor proteins enables their lipid transfer ability. To address the mechanisms underlying assembly and regulation of BLTP complexes, we used cryo-EM to resolve the structure of one such BLTP, the Parkinson's protein VPS13C, at near-atomic resolution. The structure identifies a lipid-transfer-nonpermissive conformation, where the built-in C-terminal VAB adaptor module blocks the end of the lipid transfer bridge, interfering with lipid delivery. We also identify calmodulin, central to calcium signaling, as a VPS13 partner, suggesting calcium regulation of VPS13 function. Altogether, this structure of intact VPS13C serves as starting point to understand its regulation and, more broadly, that of other BLTPs.
