Article Abstract
Calnuc (nucleobindin-1, nucb1) is a Ca -binding protein involved in the etiology of many human diseases. To understand the functions of calnuc, we have identified a nesfatin-1-like peptide (NLP) in its N terminus that is proteolyzed by a convertase enzyme in the secretory granules of cells. Mutational studies confirm the presence of a proteolytic cleavage site for proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1). We demonstrate that NLP regulates Gαq-mediated intracellular Ca dynamics, likely via a G-protein-coupled receptor. NLP treatment to carcinoma cell lines (SCC131 cells) promotes the expression of regulators of cell cycle, proliferation, and clonogenicity by the AKT/mTOR pathway. NLP is causative of augmented migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), illustrating its metastatic propensity and establishing its tumor promotion ability.

Stress is a state of disrupted homeostasis triggered by physical or psychological stimuli that elicit adaptive responses at the molecular and cellular levels. In fish, the hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis mediates stress responses. Nesfatin-1 and a nesfatin-1-like peptide (NLP), derived from nucleobindin-1 (NUCB1), have been implicated in stress hormone regulation in mammals.

Nesfatin-1 (NESF-1) has been shown to modulate lipid metabolism. We have identified a nesfatin-1-like-peptide (NLP) processed from a related precursor nucleobindin 1 (NUCB1). Here we determined if NLP, like NESF-1, regulates lipid accumulation in vitro, and tested if the disruption of nucb1 gene affects hepatic lipid metabolism genes in mice.

Nucleobindin-derived peptides, nesfatin-1 [NESF-1] and nesfatin-1-like-peptide [NLP] have diverse roles in endocrine and metabolic regulation. While both peptides showed a stimulatory effect on the synthesis of proopiomelanocortin (POMC), the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) precursor in mouse corticotrophs, whether NESF-1 and NLP have any direct effect on glucocorticoid [GC] synthesis in the adrenal cortex remains unknown. The main aim of this study was to determine if NESF-1 and/or NLP act directly on adrenal cortex cells to regulate cortisol synthesis in vitro.

Nesfatin-1 and nesfatin-1-like peptide (Nlp) are derived from precursors nucleobindin-2 and -1, two calcium and DNA binding proteins, respectively. Both peptides exhibit hormone-like actions in mammals and fish. These functions include insulinotropic effects of nesfatin-1 and Nlp seen in mice and their growth hormone suppressive actions reported in goldfish.
