Here we identify a cytosolic factor essential for MgATP up-regulation of the squid nerve
Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Mass spectroscopy and Western blot analysis established that this
factor is a member of the lipocalin super family of lipid binding proteins of 132 amino
acids in length. We named it Regulatory protein of the squid nerve sodium calcium
exchanger (ReP1-NCXSQ). ReP-1-NCXSQ was cloned, over expressed and purified. Far-
UV circular dichroism and infrared spectra suggest a majority of β-strand in the secondary
structure. Moreover, the predicted tertiary structure indicates ten β-sheets and two short α-
helices characteristic of most lipid binding proteins. Functional experiments showed that in
order to be active ReP1-NCXSQ must become phosphorylated in the presence of MgATP
by a kinase that is Staurosporin insensitive. Even more, the phosphorylated ReP1-NCXSQ
is able to stimulate the exchanger in the absence of ATP. In addition to the identification of
a new member of the lipid binding protein family, this work shows, for the first time, the
requirement of a lipid binding protein for metabolic regulation of an ion transporting
system.

Squid giant axon contains neurofilament protein mRNA but does not synthesize neurofilament proteins
Gainer, Harold; House, Shirley; Kim, Dong Sun; Chin, Hemin; Pant, Harish C. (2016-05-05)When isolated squid giant axons are incubated in radioactive amino acids, abundant newly synthesized proteins are found in the axoplasm. These proteins are translated in the adaxonal Schwann cells and subsequently transferred ... -

Changes in reflectin protein phosphorylation are associated with dynamic iridescence in squid
Izumi, Michi; Sweeney, Alison M.; DeMartini, Daniel; Weaver, James C.; Powers, Meghan L.; Tao, Andrea; Silvas, Tania V.; Kramer, Ryan M.; Crookes-Goodson, Wendy J.; Mathger, Lydia M.; Naik, Rajesh R.; Hanlon, Roger T.; Morse, Daniel E. (2009-07-18)Many cephalopods exhibit remarkable dermal iridescence, a component of their complex, dynamic camouflage and communication. In the species Euprymna scolopes, the light-organ iridescence is static and is due to reflectin ...
