CA2 — EEF2
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Gschwendt et al., Skin Pharmacol 1988
(Cell Transformation, Neoplastic...) :
Phosphorylation of
EF-2 is
dependent on
Ca2+ and calmodulin, and inhibition of EF-2 phosphorylation by CsA is due to an interaction of CsA with calmodulin ... Since CsA inhibits specifically 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TAP) stimulated but not basal protein synthesis in epidermis, it is proposed that
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent phosphorylation of
EF-2 is involved in the induction of the hyperplastic response by TPA and that CsA suppresses TPA effects by inhibition of EF-2-phosphorylation and perhaps other calmodulin dependent processes
Gschwendt et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1988
:
The weak immunosuppressant cyclosporine D as well as the immunologically inactive cyclosporine H are potent inhibitors in vivo of phorbol ester TPA induced biological effects in mouse skin and of
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent
EF-2 phosphorylation in vitro ... Furthermore, CsH, like CsA, inhibits the
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent phosphorylation of the elongation factor 2 (EF-2) in vitro and the TPA induced increases in the amount of
EF-2 in vivo
Ryazanov et al., FEBS Lett 1987
:
Phosphorylation of
EF-2 is strictly
Ca2+ dependent and can be inhibited by the calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine ... It is suggested that the
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent phosphorylation of
EF-2 is involved in regulation of protein biosynthesis
Albarracin et al., J Biol Chem 1994
:
PRL treatment enhanced the
Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)
dependent phosphorylation of endogenous
EF-2 in luteal cytoplasmic extracts
Matsuda et al., J Biol Chem 1998
:
It is suggested that the binding of
Ca2+ to EF-3 is probably
required for
EF-2 to be a functional Ca2+ binding site and to induce exposure of the myristoyl group ; and that the binding of Ca2+ to EF-2 is important for the interaction with rhodopsin kinase
