motifs/domains
  • two N-terminal transmembrane region
  • a central juxtamembranous domain that is conserved, the central SMP-domain
  • three C-terminal C2 domains, that control the subcellular distribution of proteins during elementary cell signalling events by calcium dependent lipid binding, and One of the tandem C&
  • 8322; domains of is predicted to bind CaČ&
    8314;, but no CaČ&
    8314;-dependent function has been attributed to this protein

  • localizes to presynaptic ER structures at the neuromuscular junction
  • basic FUNCTION
  • multi-C2 protein, presumably involved in Ca-dependent signaling events
  • functioning as Ca2+-regulated intrinsic membrane proteins with multiple C2 domains, expanding the repertoire of such proteins to a fourth class beyond synaptotagmins, ferlins, and MCTPs (multiple C2 domain and transmembrane region proteins)
  • endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) tethering function of ESYT1, ESYT2, ESYT3 (tricalbins in yeast) mediates the formation of ER-PM contacts sites, which are functionally distinct from those mediated by STIM1 and ORAI1
  • implicated in the formation of junctions between endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane, as well as the Ca(2+) dependent replenishment of membrane phospholipids
  • implicated in the formation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) junctions and in the Ca(2+) dependent regulation of these junctions
  • ESYT2 recognizes a site in the upper kinase lobe of FGFR1 that is revealed by displacement of the kinase domain activation loop during receptor activation
  • is a presynaptic ER protein that can promote neurotransmission and synaptic growth, revealing the first neuronal functions of this conserved gene family
  • GRAMD2A, but not GRAMD1A, co-localizes with the ESYT2/ESYT3 tethers at ER-PM contacts in a PIP lipid-dependent manner

    protein
  • ESYT2 and ESYT3, but not ESYT1, selectively interact with activated FGFR1
  • bind phospholipids in a Ca2+-dependent manner via its C2-domains, is localized to ER-plasma membrane contact sites, and may catalyze lipid exchange between the plasma membrane and the ER via its SMP-domains
  • UBQLN1 interacts with IGF1R and ESYT2 through the STI domains and stabilizes these proteins through its UBA domain
