Background

Cysteine String Proteins CSPs are composed of an N-terminal J-domain and a central palmitoylated cysteine string. This post-translational modification shifts the molecular weight of CSP 1 in brain from 23 kDa to 34 kDa and confers membrane targeting of the protein.
CSP has been initially identified as a synaptic vesicle protein which is involved in Ca2+ triggered neurotransmitter release. Later CSP was also found on Large Dense Core Vesicles (LDCVs) of pancreatic insulin secretory β-cells, chromaffin cells and adipocytes. It has been shown to interact with SNARE proteins like VAMP 2, VAMP 7 and syntaxin 4.
