  • GPBP1
  • secreted in a soluble form
  • involved in regulating folding and assembly of glomerular basement membrane collagen in the secretory and extracellular compartments
  • myoblast differentiation induces GPBP1 to accumulate in the cytoplasm and to form aggregates with FILIP1L
  • 18 splicing 5317 68 598 localizes in the cytosol 2011 21832087
  • GPBP-2
  • lacking one exon
  • lacks the 26-residue serine-rich region encoded by exon 11 due to alternative exon splicing
  • serves potentially as a ceramide transporter between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus for regulation of protein secretion
  • 19 - 5494 91 752 - 2011 21832087
  • GPBP-3
  • longer splicing isoform CERTL known to interact with extracellular matrix components, such as type IV collagen, and with the innate immune protein serum amyloid P
  • associated with cellular membranes

    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • a N terminal pleckstrin homology domain, a phosphoinositide-binding pleckstrin homology (PH) domain for Golgi-targeting , and basic groove in the PH domain plays a critical role in the Golgi recognition
  • a short peptide motif named FFAT, which associates with the ER-resident membrane protein VAPA, VAPB
  • a serine rich motif (variant 1)
  • a C-terminal steroidogenic acute regulatory protein-related lipid transfer (START) domain, and for intermembrane transfer of ceramide , and PH and START domains are both indispensable for the COL4A3BP ceramide transport activity

  • is found in plasma and in the extracellular matrix
  • basic FUNCTION
  • protein serine/threonine kinase II
  • phosphorylating the Goodpasture antigen (COL4A3)
  • mediating nonvesicular transfer of ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex
  • critical role for protein kinase D activation and protein kinase D-dependent protein cargo transport to the plasma membrane
  • cooperative control of its functionally distinct domains is a novel molecular event to regulate the intracellular trafficking of ceramide
  • may serves as transporter of ceramide between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus
  • implicated in a multicompartmental program for protein secretion including phosphorylation and regulation of protein molecular/supramolecular organization and interorganelle ceramide trafficking and regulation of protein cargo transport to the plasma membrane
  • plays an important role in central nervous system neuron function
  • orchestrate a biological program that regulates protein folding and secretion
  • is responsible for the non-vesicular trafficking of ceramide between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi
  • exportable non-conventional Ser/Thr kinase that regulating glomerular basement membrane collagen organization
  • directs myofibril formation, an observation that expands its reported role in supramolecular organization of structural proteins to the intracellular compartment
  • it is likely that during cellular stress, disassembly of Golgi structure together with inactivation of COL4A3BP by caspases causes a reduction in ceramide trafficking and SM (sphingomyelin) synthesis, and could contribute to the cellular response to pro-apoptotic stress
  • contribute to deterioration of mitochondrial structure and function in aging oocytes
  • role of COL4A3BP in innate immunity, especially in the clearance of apoptotic cells
  • mediates the inter-organelle transport of ceramide for the synthesis of sphingomyelin, presumably through endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi membrane contact sites
  • transfers ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex

    protein
  • binding the C terminal, non collagenous region of COL4A3
  • cholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and ceramides are ligands for STAR/STARD3/STARD5, STARD5, PCTP/STARD10, STARD10 and COL4A3BP, respectively
  • targets FILIP1L, which binds to myosin and promotes its myofibrillar assembly
  • is a nonconventional Ser/Thr kinase for basement membrane type IV collagen
  • COL4A3BP specifically binds APCS in its physiological conformations, pentamers and decamers, and START domain in COL4A3BP is important for this interaction
  • VAPA, VAPB are endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident integral membrane protein that controls a nonvesicular mode of ceramide and cholesterol transfer from the ER to the Golgi complex by interacting with COL4A3BP and oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), respectively
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other phosphorylation of COL4A3BP at the FFAT motif-adjacent serine affected its affinity for VAPA, VAPB, which may regulate the inter-organelle trafficking of ceramide in response to the perturbation of cellular sphingomyelin and/or other sphingolipids
