Erp61 is GRP58, a stress-inducible luminal endoplasmic reticulum protein, but is devoid of phosphatidylinositide-specific phospholipase C activity

Arch Biochem Biophys. 1994 Feb 1;308(2):454-60. doi: 10.1006/abbi.1994.1064.

Abstract

Using antibody raised against putative Form I phosphatidylinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and direct amino acid sequencing of the protein recognized by this antibody, we have shown that the antibody reacts with luminal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins, including ERp61. ERp61 possesses a COOH-terminal QEDL sequence that acts as an ER retention signal. Additional experiments have shown, however, that PI-PLC activity is separable from ERp61 and that rat or murine ERp61 expressed in COS cells failed to produce an increase in PI-PLC activity in the COS cells. Finally, we have identified ERp61 as GRP58, a 58-kDa protein inducible by glycosylation block and treatment with the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187.
