We carried out a profile search of the Non-Redundant protein database (of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI) using the PSI-BLAST program [ 13], seeded with lumenal region of the Caenorhabditis elegans p24 family member K08E4.
This heteromerization of the p24 proteins has been shown to require a coiled-coil stretch at the extreme carboxyl terminus of their lumenal regions [ 10].
Members of the p24 family are type I membrane proteins, with a small carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic tail that interacts with the vesicle coat proteins and a globular lumenal region that probably interacts with the cargo [ 11, 12].
The regulation of lumenal diameter in large arteries is accomplished through the maintenance of shear stress along the arterial wall [ 38 50 51 52 53 54 ] . As blood flow through an artery increases, shear is also increased, and the endothelium releases nitric oxide for vasodilation [ 55 ] . Chronically, the arterial wall will remodel to a larger diameter to accommodate the increased flow [ 38 ] . While we did not measure arterial flow through these iron deficient arteries, the enhanced inotropic compensation to iron deficiency, combined with the enlarged aortic diameter, leads us to suspect a flow dependent mechanism for remodeling.
The domain is typically between 90 and 150 amino acids long and, in the p24 family, it comprises almost the entire lumenal region, with the exception of an α-helical extension of approximately 50 amino acids that precedes the transmembrane segment.
