Otolin is a glycoprotein found in the vertebrate inner ear.^[5]

Modifications

Otolin is modified after it is translated, with hydroxylated prolines and two glycosylated lysines with glucosyl-galactosyl groups.^[5]

Substructure

The gene for otolin in mice is on chromosome 3E12. In humans it is located at 3q26.1 At the N-terminal end there is a signal peptide. The N-terminal end has four cysteine residues. Adjacent to this is a stiff collagen domain with 75 Gly-X-Y repeats. It also contains a cysteine residue, and in human otolin, there are four cystein residues in this domain. At the opposite end is the C1q domain. The otolin gene in mammals contains four introns and five exons.^[5]

Superstructure

Otolin combines with several other otolin molecules to form an oligomer, probably a trimer. It also binds to otoconin-90 and cerebellin-1.^[5]

Production

Otolin is produced by the vestibular support cells in the utricle, saccule, the three semicircular canal cristae, and the tectorial membrane. In teleosts (fish), otolin is found in the otolith and it is required to anchor the otolith in position.^[5]

Protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3), also known as glucose-regulated protein, 58-kD (GRP58), is an isomerase enzyme. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and interacts with lectin chaperones calreticulin and calnexin (CNX) to modulate folding of newly synthesized glycoproteins. It is thought that complexes of lectins and this protein mediate protein folding by promoting formation of disulfide bonds in their glycoprotein substrates.
