Kalirin is a neuron-specific GDP/GTP exchange
factor for Rho subfamily GTP-binding proteins. The major Kalirin
transcripts in adult rat brain were identified. Most include a
Sec14p-like putative lipid-binding motif followed by nine spectrin-like
repeats and a Dbl homology/pleckstrin homology (DH-PH) domain. Kalirin proteins with four different NH2 termini are
generated through the use of five different 5'-ends; three of the
proteins differ only at the extreme NH2 terminus, and one
is truncated because translation is initiated at a methionine in the
5th spectrin repeat. Four different 3'-ends yield Kalirin proteins with
additional functional domains. Kalirin-7 (7-kilobase pair mRNA)
terminates with a PDZ-binding motif, which in Kalirin-8 is replaced by
an SH3 domain. Kalirin-9 contains another pair of DH-PH and SH3
domains. Kalirin-12 additionally encodes a putative Ser/Thr protein
kinase. Antisera specific for different COOH termini established
Kalirin-7 as the most abundant in cortex, with significant amounts of
Kalirin-9 and Kalirin-12; Kalirin-7 was less prevalent in cerebellum
and olfactory bulb. Kalirin proteins lacking the Sec14p-like domain and
first four spectrin-like repeats were much less prevalent. Form-specific antisera demonstrated that different forms of Kalirin were localized to distinct subcellular regions of cultured neurons. Members of the family of Kalirin proteins may subserve different functions at these different locations.
