Automated Description
Enables calcium ion binding activity. Involved in calcium ion homeostasis. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; nucleus; and sarcolemma. Is expressed in body wall musculature; isthmus; terminal bulb; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CASQ1 (calsequestrin 1) and CASQ2 (calsequestrin 2).
WB Description
csq-1 encodes a calsequestrin that is required to normal survival in media containing either excess or deficient Ca[2+], and that also binds UNC-68's intraluminal domain; CSQ-1 binds Ca[2+] in vitro, and is thought to buffer Ca[2+] stores in sarcoplasmic reticulum; CSQ-1 is expressed in bodywall muscle cells from mid-embryogenesis to adulthood, as well as in vulval muscles, and in the isthmus and terminal bulb regions of the pharynx; within bodywall muscle cells, CSQ-1 is distributed in a meshlike pattern, which ultrastructurally corresponds with apical sarcoplasmic reticulum, and which is very much like that of the UNC-68 ryanodine receptor; a 17-residue C-terminal domain of CSQ-1 binds the intraluminal loops of UNC-68 in vitro, and deletion of this domain disrupts CSQ-1 subcellular localization in vivo, as do K111A mutations; an N-terminal domain (residues 32-43) is required for CSQ-1's normal subcellular distribution, with a deletion mutant showing aggregate rather than meshlike distribution; in unc-68(e540) or unc-68(r1161) mutants, CSQ-1 is instead distributed randomly within muscle cells, indicating that the subcellular localization of CSQ-1 requires UNC-68; csq-1(RNAi) animals and csq-1(jh109) mutants show no grossly obvious phenotypes, do not enhance unc-68(e540) phenotypes, and display normal muscle cell development and locomotion; however, csq-1(jh109) mutants have abnormally low viability in media containing either excess or deficient Ca[2+]; sca-1 mRNA levels are reduced in csq-1(jh109) mutants; CSQ-1 is orthologous to human CASQ1 (OMIM:114250) and CASQ2 (OMIM:114251, mutated in catecholamine-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia).
