ERp29, a novel and ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-inducible protein, was recently isolated and cDNA cloned in our laboratory. Using size exclusion chromatography and chemical cross-linking we have assessed the oligomerization properties of ERp29. Purified ERp29 in solution as well as in rat hepatoma cells self-associates predominantly into homodimers. Labeling of the cells with [35S]methionine with subsequent cross-linking and immunoprecipitation showed that ERp29 interacts with a number of ER proteins, one of which was previously identified as BiP/GRP78. Secondary structure prediction and fold recognition methods indicate that the native conformation of ERp29 resembles the thioredoxin fold, a structural motif characteristic of a number of enzymes with the redox function, including protein disulfide isomerase (with which ERp29 shares limited sequence similarity). Dimerization of the protein is suggested to be advantageous for the protein binding potential of ERp29.

D003432 Cross-Linking Reagents Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH).
