Background: S100A1

S100A1, also known as S100 Alpha, is a 10 kDa member of the S100 (soluble in 100% ammonium sulfate at neutral pH) family of proteins (1-5). The S100 family is further classified as a member of the EF-hand superfamily of Ca2+ binding protein. The hallmark of this superfamily is the EF-hand motif that consists of a Ca2+‑binding site flanked by two alpha -helices (helix E and helix F) that were originally identified in a right-handed model of carp muscle calcium-binding protein (6). S100A1 can also bind zinc in vitro and its binding sites are different from the calcium binding sites. Typically, S100A1 exists as homodimers but it can also form non-covalent heterodimers with other members of the S100 family (7, 8). Human S100A1 is 94 amino acids (aa) in length. It shares 93%, 94%, 98% and 100% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, bovine and Rhesus macaque respectively (9). Within the S100 family, S100A1 shows the highest aa identity (56%) with S100B (10). S100 A1 is highly expressed in the myocardium, and it is an important regulator of the cardiac contractility (11, 12). S100A1 acts as a Ca2+ signal transducer (13). In response to an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels, S100 A1 binds calcium which triggers a conformational change (14). This conformational change allows interaction of S100A1 with specific target proteins, such as TPR-containing proteins, and the modulation of their activity (13). S100A1 also acts as a cardioprotective factor to inhibit apoptosis in neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes via activation of the ERK1/2 (12).
