SPRY Domain is named from SPla and the RYanodine Receptor and it is found in many eukaryotic proteins with a wide range of functions. It is a protein-interaction module involved in many important signalling pathways like RNA processing, regulation of histone H3 methylation, innate immunity or embryonic development [1,2,3,4]. It can be divided into 11 subfamilies based on amino acid sequence similarity or the presence of additional protein domains. The greater SPRY family is divided into the SPRY/B30.2 (which contains a PRY extension at the N-terminal) and SPRY-only sub-families which are preceded by a subdomain that is structurally similar to the PRY region [2]. SPRY/B30.2 structures revealed a bent beta-sandwich fold comprised of two beta-sheets. Distant homologues are domains in butyrophilin/ marenostrin/pyrin [1].
This domain corresponds to the ligand binding region on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, and the N terminal region of the ryanodine receptor. Both receptors are involved in Ca2+ release. They can couple to the activation of neurotransmitter-ga ...
This domain corresponds to the ligand binding region on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, and the N terminal region of the ryanodine receptor. Both receptors are involved in Ca2+ release. They can couple to the activation of neurotransmitter-gated receptors and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels on the plasma membrane, thus allowing the endoplasmic reticulum discriminate between different types of neuronal activity [1].
