The chaperone calreticulin is a highly conserved eukaryotic protein mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum. It contains a free cysteine SH group but does not form disul-fide-bridged dimers under physiological conditions,indica-ting that the SH group may not be fully accessible in the native protein. Using PAGE,urea gradient gel electro-phoresis,capillary electrophoresis and MS,we show that dimerization through the SH group can be induced by lowering the pH to 5–6,heating,or under conditions that favour partial unfolding such as urea concentrations above SDS concentrations above . . | Eur.

The oligomeric calreticulin was very stable but oligomerization was partially reversed by addition of 8 M urea or 1 SDS and heat-induced oligomerization could be inhibited by 8 M urea or 1 SDS when present during heating. Comparison of the binding properties of monomeric and oligomeric calreticulin in solid-phase assays showed increased binding to peptides
