crystal structure of human ERp44
Structural highlights
Function[ERP44_HUMAN] Mediates thiol-dependent retention in the early secretory pathway, forming mixed disulfides with substrate proteins through its conserved CRFS motif. Inhibits the calcium channel activity of ITPR1. May have a role in the control of oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. Required to retain ERO1L and ERO1LB in the endoplasmic reticulum.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedERp44 mediates thiol-dependent retention in the early secretory pathway, forming mixed disulphides with substrate proteins through its conserved CRFS motif. Here, we present its crystal structure at a resolution of 2.6 A. Three thioredoxin domains-a, b and b'-are arranged in a clover-like structure. A flexible carboxy-terminal tail turns back to the b' and a domains, shielding a hydrophobic pocket in domain b' and a hydrophobic patch around the CRFS motif in domain a. Mutational and functional studies indicate that the C-terminal tail gates the CRFS area and the adjacent hydrophobic pocket, dynamically regulating protein quality control. Crystal structure of human ERp44 shows a dynamic functional modulation by its carboxy-terminal tail.,Wang L, Wang L, Vavassori S, Li S, Ke H, Anelli T, Degano M, Ronzoni R, Sitia R, Sun F, Wang CC EMBO Rep. 2008 Jul;9(7):642-7.
