SummaryAnnexins are multifunctional lipid‐binding proteins. Plant annexins are expressed throughout the life cycle and are under environmental control. Their association or insertion into membranes may be governed by a range of local conditions (Ca2+, pH, voltage or lipid identity) and nonclassical sorting motifs.

Annexins and Endocytosis [PDF]
Annexins are calcium‐ and phospholipid‐binding proteins that have been proposed to have multiple roles in membrane traffic. Historically, this has been based on the in vitro properties of annexins and their localization to specific membrane compartments. However, recent functional evidence supports a role for annexins in specific membrane traffic steps,

Glycosylation of annexin I and annexin II
Human placental annexin I and annexin II were shown to be glycosylated by one-dimensional affinity blotting with the lectin concanavalin A, which recognizes D-mannose and D-glucose residues. Further evidence that annexin I and annexin II are glycosylated was provided by the finding that these proteins incorporated D-[2,6-3H]mannose and D-[6-3H]glucose ...

Annexins are a highly conserved ubiquitous family of Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding proteins present in nearly all eukaryotic cells. Analysis of the Dictyostelium genome revealed the presence of two annexin genes, the annexin C1 gene (nxnA) giving rise to two isoforms of 47 and 51 kDa (previously synexin), and the annexin C2 gene (nxnB) coding for a 56-

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible visual loss, which has been estimated to affect 3.5% of those over 40 years old and projected to affect a total of 112 million people by 2040. Such a dramatic increase in affected patients demonstrates the need for continual improvement in the way we diagnose and treat this condition.

Ten years after the discovery of annexins, we are just understanding the functions of these enigmatic proteins, been a frustrating decade for those in this field because appear capable of performing a multitude of function: to the sceptic apparently do nothing in vivo.

Annexin A3 (ANXA3), an annexin family member, contains 36 kDa and 33 kDa isoforms. Similar to other annexin members, ANXA3 plays an important role in the development of human diseases. Recent studies have reported that abnormal ANXA3 expression is closely associated with the development, progression, metastasis, drug resistance and prognosis of several

Ca2" plays a major role in stimulus-response coupling for many plant cell signaling pathways (Bush, 1995). A variety of stimuli, including light, touch, and orientation changes, can induce a sharp increase in the equilibrium level of free Ca2" in the cytoplasm of plant cells, from a concentration that is usually maintained at below 0.3 gM to often well

Annexin–Actin Interactions [PDF]
The actin cytoskeleton is a malleable framework of polymerised actin monomers that may be rapidly restructured to enable diverse cellular activities such as motility, endocytosis and cytokinesis. The regulation of actin dynamics involves the coordinated activity of numerous proteins, among which members of the annexin family of Ca2+‐ and phospholipid ...
