Table 4 Proteins from cellular vacuoles, ribonucleoprotein particles (vaults), nuclei and mitochondria

From: Proteomic study of the brackish water mussel Mytilopsis leucophaeata

Protein

Eucaryote

Function

Localisation

V-type proton ATPase catalytic subunit A [P314400]

Manduca sexta (tobacco horn worm)

Involved in cellular trafficking, exocytosis and endocytosis, and interaction with the cytoskeleton (Marshansky and Futai 2008)

Cellular vacuoles

Major vault protein [Q5EAJ7]

Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (purple sea urchin)

Signal pathway regulation and immune defence (Berger et al. 2009)

Ribonucleoprotein particles (41 × 41 × 71.5 nm) or vaults

Histone H2A.V [P02272]

Gallus gallus (chicken)

Histones play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability

Part of nucleosome core (nuclei)

Histone H2A [P02268]

Sepia officinalis (common cuttlefish)

See above and below

See above and below

Histone H2B, gonadal [P02284]

Patella granatina (sand paper limpet)

See above; further, histones and histone fragments circulate via transporters through the cytoplasm and so may be transferred to the plasma membrane (Schuurmans Stekhoven et al. 2004) from where they execute their anti-microbial activity (Seo et al. 2011)

Nuclei, cytoplasm, and plasmalemma

Histone H3 [P02299]

Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)

See above

See over

Histone H4 [P35059]

Acropora formosa (stony corals)

See above

See over

Proteasome subunit α type-7 [O13268]

Gallus gallus (chicken)

ATP dependent cleavage of peptide bonds with broad specificity

Cytoplasm and nucleus

14-3-3 protein ε [P92177]
