Calreticulin is a ubiquitous endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ binding chaperone. The protein has been implicated in a variety of diverse functions. Calreticulin is a lectin-like chaperone and, together with calnexin, it plays an important role in quality control during protein synthesis, folding, and posttranslational modification. Calreticulin binds Ca 2+ and affects cellular Ca 2+ homeostasis. The protein increases the Ca 2+ storage capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum and modulates the function of endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase. Calreticulin also plays a role in the control of cell adhesion and steroid-sensitive gene expression. Recently, the protein has been identified and characterized in higher plants but its precise role in plant cells awaits further investigation.Key words: calreticulin, endoplasmic reticulum, chaperone, Ca 2+ binding protein.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a vital role in many cellular processes, including Ca2+ storage and release. Calreticulin is a Ca2+-binding chaperon residing in ER. The protein is a key component of the quality control pathways in ER. In the ER lumen, calreticulin performs two major functions, works as a chaperon and regulates Ca2+ homeostasis. In cardiac muscle, calreticulin plays an important role in cardiac development and pathology.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a major Ca(2+) store of the cell that impacts many cellular processes within the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum has roles in lipid and sterol synthesis, protein folding, post-translational modification and secretion and these functions are affected by intraluminal endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+). In the endoplasmic reticulum there are several Ca(2+) buffering chaperones including calreticulin, Grp94, BiP and protein disulfide isomerase. Calreticulin is one of the major Ca(2+) binding/buffering chaperones in the endoplasmic reticulum. It has a critical role in Ca(2+) signalling in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and this has significant impacts on many Ca(2+)-dependent pathways including control of transcription during embryonic development. In addition to Ca(2+) buffering, calreticulin plays important role in the correct folding and quality control of newly synthesized glycoproteins.

Quality control of the endoplasmic reticulum plays a critical role in protein folding, modification and modification of a secretory pathway. As endoplasmic reticulum chaperones, calreticulin and calnexin have similar substrate specificity and share several common features. Yet, surprisingly, mice bearing a disruption in the calreticulin gene die from a lesion in cardiac development and develop significant metabolic problems whereas calnexin-deficient mice are born alive with, yet not understood, neurological problems. Studies with calreticulin and calnexin gene knockout mice and calreticulin- and calnexin-deficient cell lines indicate that calnexin is unable to compensate for the loss of calreticulin and conversely, calreticulin cannot compensate for the loss of calnexin. Calreticulin or calnexin deficiency or reduction in the level of ERp57 protein (ERp57 heterozygote mice) leads to development of metabolic disorders as documented by sever changes serum lipids and carbohydrates composition in these animals. These observations indicate that calreticulin, calnexin and ERp57, in addition of being involved in maturation of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, perform other distinct functions including affecting energy metabolism.

The present study was addressed on the effect of 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PenCB) to the expression of molecular chaperon proteins, glucose regulated protein (GRP) 78, GRP94, calreticulin and calnexin in liver endoplasmic reticulum of rat by treatment with acute exposure. Male Wistar rats received PenCB in corn oil at once a dose of 10 mg/kg i.p., then at 5 days after treatment the microsomes were prepared. Free-fed and pair-fed control groups were given the vehicle. The microsomal proteins were separated on SDS-PAGE, transferred to membrane and blotted using antibody towards respective chaperone proteins. The protein levels of GRP78, GRP94, calreticulin and calnexin were significantly decreased with the acute exposure. In addition, albumin level in the microsomes was also significantly reduced by the PenCB treatment. The transferrin level was significantly higher than pair-fed but not from free-fed group. These chaperone proteins have important physiological functions against synthesized and/or denatured proteins, which include assembling, folding of proteins. PenCB-treatment may alter the extent of biosynthesis of secretory protein such as albumin through the decreasing levels of chaperone proteins in endoplasmic reticulum. Interestingly, reduced GRP78 protein level by PenCB was not due to decreased mRNA level. Our results suggested that a part of the toxicity of PenCB is associated to significant decrease of the chaperone proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum.

The ability of [ 125 I]calreticulin to bind to membrane fractions isolated from different muscle and non‐muscle tissues was examined by a protein overlay technique. Specific [ 125A I]calreticulin binding proteins were detected in rat liver smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, in canine pancreatic microsomes, and in rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. These proteins were confined only to membranes that contain calreticulin; they were not found in rat liver mitochondria or cytosol. [ 125 I]Calreticulin binds to a 50‐kDa protein and a number of lower M r (20,000–38,000) endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins and to 30‐kDa protein in skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. Full‐length calreticulin and the carboxyl‐terminal region ( C‐domain ) of the protein both competed with [ 125 I]calreticulin for binding to the membrane proteins. Binding of [ 125 I]calreticulin to pancreatic microsomes was also partially inhibited by the N‐domain and to a lesser extent by the P‐domain of the protein. We conclude that calreticulin interacts with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins mainly through its carboxyl‐terminal domain and that the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes may contain different calreticulin binding proteins.
