SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES

Belongs to the caldesmon family.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY

High-molecular-weight caldesmon (isoform 1) is predominantly expressed in smooth muscles, whereas low-molecular-weight caldesmon (isoforms 2, 3, 4 and 5) are widely distributed in non-muscle tissues and cells. Not expressed in skeletal muscle or heart.

POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

In non-muscle cells, phosphorylation by CDK1 during mitosis causes caldesmon to dissociate from microfilaments. Phosphorylation reduces caldesmon binding to actin, myosin, and calmodulin as well as its inhibition of actomyosin ATPase activity. Phosphorylation also occurs in both quiescent and dividing smooth muscle cells with similar effects on the interaction with actin and calmodulin and on microfilaments reorganization. CDK1-mediated phosphorylation promotes Schwann cell migration during peripheral nerve regeneration (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION

Cytoskeleton, stress fiber, myofibril.

FUNCTION

Caldesmon, Filamin 1, Nebulin and Villin are differentially expressed and regulated Actin binding proteins. Both muscular and non-muscular forms of Caldesmon have been identified and each has been shown to bind to Actin as well as to calmodulin and Myosin. Alternative splicing of the gene encoding Caldesmon results in five isoforms. Muscular Caldesmon (isoform 1), also designated high molecular weight Caldesmon or H-Caldesmon (H-CAD), is expressed predominantly on thin filaments in smooth muscle. Non-muscular Caldesmon (isoforms 2-5), also designated low molecular weight Caldesmon or L-Caldesmon (L-CAD), is widely expressed in non-muscle tissues and cells. Filamin 1, which is ubiquitously expressed and exists as a homodimer, functions to crosslink Actin to filaments. Nebulin is a large filamentous protein specific to muscle tissue that may function as a ruler for filament length. Several isoforms of Nebulin are produced by alternative exon usage. Villin is Ca2+-regulated and is the major structural component of the brush border of absorptive cells.
