Recently, we described a small molecular weight protein termed psoriasin that showed sequence similarity with the S100 calcium-binding proteins and that highly upregulated in psoriatic epidermis as well as in primary human keratinocytes undergoing abnormal differentiation. Here we present evidence showing that natural and recombinant psoriasin binds calcium, as judged by the calcium overlay assay, and that it contains all the sequence features characteristic of the S100 family. Furthermore, [S-35]-methionine labeling experiments showed that psoriasin synthesis is upregulated by 2 mM Ca++ (ratio Ca++/control at 88 h = 2.56) to levels that resemble those observed in unfractionated keratinocyte populations obtained from normal skin.
