Abstract
The study of isolated airway myocytes has provided important information relative to specific processes that regulate contraction, proliferation, and synthetic properties of airway smooth muscle (ASM). To place this information in physiological context, however, improved methods to examine airway biology in vivo are needed. Advances in genetic, biochemical, and optical methods provide unprecedented opportunities to improve our understanding of in vivo physiology and pathophysiology. This article describes 4 important methodologic advances in the study of ASM: (1) the development of transgenic mice that could be used to investigate ASM proliferation and phenotype switching during the development of hypersensitivity, and to investigate excitation-contraction coupling; (2) the use of CD38-deficient mice to confirm the role of CD38-dependent, cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose-mediated calcium release in airway responsiveness; (3) investigation of the role of actin filament length and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity in regulating the mechanical plasticity-elasticity balance in contracted ASM; and (d) the use of bronchial biopsies to study ASM structure and phenotype in respiratory science.

Abstract
All Ca(2+) channels are regulated by Ca(2+), a feature that allows them to respond to their own activity and to the activities of neighboring Ca(2+) channels. Inhibition by Ca(2+) protects cells from potentially hazardous increases in cytosolic [Ca(2+)], and stimulation can mediate facilitation and regenerative propagation of Ca(2+) signals. Calmodulin is emerging as a key player in regulation of Ca(2+) channels by Ca(2+), but its role is more complex and more beautiful than might have been imagined.

Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca(2+)-sensor protein that plays an important role in regulating a large number of Ca(2+) channels, including the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R). CaM binds to the IP(3)R at Ca(2+)-dependent as well as at Ca(2+)-independent interaction sites. In this study, we have investigated the Ca(2+)-independent CaM-binding site for its role in the regulation of the Ca(2+)-dependent bell-shaped activation curve of the IP(3)R. Suramin, a polysulfonated napthylurea, displaced CaM in both the presence and the absence of Ca(2+). Suramin competed with CaM for binding to different peptides representing the previously identified CaM-binding sites on IP(3)R1. By interacting with the N-terminal Ca(2+)-independent CaM-binding site, suramin mimicked the functional effect of CaM and induced an allosteric but competitive inhibition of IP(3) binding. Therefore, suramin also potently inhibited IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR) from permeabilized cells predominantly expressing IP(3)R1 (L15 fibroblasts) or IP(3)R3 (Lvec fibroblasts), even though the IP(3)R3 does not contain Ca(2+)-dependent CaM-binding sites. Furthermore, we have found that CaM(1234), a CaM mutated in its four EF hands, inhibited IICR in a Ca(2+)-dependent way with the same potency as CaM. We conclude that CaM inhibits IICR via the N-terminal binding site. The inhibition requires Ca(2+) but CaM itself is not the Ca(2+) sensor for the inhibition of the IP(3)R.

Abstract
In the present study we investigated the effects of K and other univalent cations on [3H]InsP3 [[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3] binding to sheep cerebellar microsomes. In equilibrium binding experiments performed over 4 s at pH 7.1 and 20 degrees C, the addition of K to the binding medium decreased the affinity and increased the total number of binding sites for InsP3 in a dose-dependent manner. At low InsP3 concentration (0.5 nM) these effects resulted in a biphasic dose-response curve, with maximal binding at about 75 mM K. In contrast, the dose-response curve calculated for InsP3 at the physiological concentration of 5 mM, was linear up to 200 mM K. Univalent inorganic cations stimulated [3H]InsP3 binding to various extents, with the following descending order of efficiency at 75 mM: Cs approximately Rb approximately K>Na>Li. The effect of K on InsP3R affinity was rapidly reversed upon cation removal. We were therefore also able to demonstrate that K increased Bmax (maximal specific binding) by pre-treating microsomes with K before measuring [3H]InsP3 binding in the absence of that cation. The increase in Bmax was reversible, but this reversal occurred less rapidly than the change in affinity. These results are consistent with a process by which K reversibly converted very low-affinity sites into sites with higher affinity, making them detectable in competitive binding experiments. They suggest that interconversion between these two affinity states constitutes the basis of a K-controlled regulatory mechanism for cerebellar InsP3R.

Abstract
The various inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) isoforms are potential substrates for several protein kinases. We compared the in vitro phosphorylation of purified IP(3)R1 and IP(3)R3 by the catalytic subunit of protein kinase C (PKC). Phosphorylation of IP(3)R1 by PKC was about eight times stronger than that of IP(3)R3 under identical conditions. Protein kinase A strongly stimulated the PKC-induced phosphorylation of IP(3)R1. In contrast, Ca(2+) inhibited its phosphorylation (IC(50)<or=2microM) and this inhibition was further potentiated by calmodulin (CaM), while the Ca(2+)-independent CaM mutant CaM(1234) was ineffective. Ca(2+) and CaM, however, did not inhibit IP(3)R3 phosphorylation by PKC. Taken together, these findings show that Ca(2+) and CaM differentially regulate the PKC-mediated phosphorylation of IP(3)R1 and IP(3)R3 and are indicative for a role for the inhibition of IP(3)R1 phosphorylation by Ca(2+) and CaM in the negative slope of the bell-shaped effect of Ca(2+) on IP(3)R function.

Abstract
Primary cultures of granule cells (GC) from rat cerebellar cortex were used to determine whether bioelectric activity, via a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMK) signaling cascade, modulates expression and exon selection in the inositol trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP(3)R1). IP(3)R1 contains or lacks three exons (S1, S2, and S3) that are regulated in a regionally and temporally specific manner. The neuronal, or long, form of IP(3)R1 is distinguished from peripheral tissues by inclusion of the S2 exon. Although previous studies indicated that IP(3)R1 are undetectable in the cerebellar granular layer in vivo, receptor protein and mRNA are induced in cultured GC grown in medium supplemented with 25 mM KCl or NMDA, two trophic agents that promote long-term survival, compared with GC grown in 5 mM KCl. IP(3)R1 induction in response to 25 mM KCl or NMDA is attenuated by coaddition of voltage-sensitive calcium channel or NMDA receptor antagonists, respectively. Actinomycin D, CaMK, and calcineurin antagonists likewise suppress induction. Unlike the major variants of IP(3)R1 in Purkinje neurons, which lack S1 and S3, GC grown with trophic agents express mRNA containing these exons. Both neuronal types contain S2. Evidence obtained using mutant mice with Purkinje cell lesions, laser-microdissected GC neurons from slices, and explant cultures indicates that GC predominantly express the S1-containing variant of IP(3)R1 in vivo.

Abstract
Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) are intracellular Ca(2+) channels that are regulated by Ca(2+) and IP(3), and are modulated by many additional signals. They thereby allow both receptors that stimulate IP(3) formation and Ca(2+) to control release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. IP(3)Rs share many features with their close relatives, ryanodine receptors; each provides insight into the structure and function of the other. The structural basis of IP(3)R behaviour is beginning to emerge from intermediate-resolution structures of the complete IP(3)R, a 2.2-A structure of the IP(3)-binding core and comparisons with the pore structures of other tetrameric cation channels. The binding of IP(3) to a site towards the N-terminal of each IP(3)R subunit promotes binding of Ca(2+). This destabilizes an inhibitory interaction between N-terminal residues and a C-terminal 'gatekeeper' sequence, enabling the pore to open.

Abstract
The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (IPR) plays a crucial role in calcium dynamics in a wide range of cell types, and is often a central feature in quantitative models of calcium oscillations and waves. We compare three mathematical models of the IPR, fitting each of them to the same data set to determine ranges for the parameter values. Each of the fits indicates that fast activation of the receptor, followed by slow inactivation, is an important feature of the model, and also that the speed of inositol trisphosphate IP3 binding cannot necessarily be assumed to be faster than Ca2+ activation. In addition, the model which assumed saturating binding rates of Ca2+ to the IPR demonstrated the best fit. However, lack of convergence in the fitting procedure indicates that responses to step increases of Ca2+ and IP3 provide insufficient data to determine the parameters unambiguously in any of the models.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a universal signalling organelle, which regulates a wide range of neuronal functional responses. Calcium release from the ER underlies various forms of intracellular Ca(2+) signalling by either amplifying Ca(2+) entry through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) or by producing local or global cytosolic calcium fluctuations following stimulation of metabotropic receptors through inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR). The ER Ca(2+) store emerges as a single interconnected pool, thus allowing for a long-range Ca(2+) signalling via intra-ER tunnels. The fluctuations of intra-ER free Ca(2+) concentration regulate the activity of numerous ER resident proteins responsible for post-translational protein folding and modification. Disruption of ER Ca(2+) homeostasis results in the developing of ER stress response, which in turn controls neuronal survival. Altered ER Ca(2+) handling may be involved in pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases including brain ischemia and Alzheimer dementia.

Abstract
The Ca(2+)- and calmodulin-dependent phosphatase calcineurin was reported to interact with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) and the ryanodine receptor (RyR) and to modulate their phosphorylation status and activity. However, controversial data on the molecular mechanisms involved and on the functional relevance of calcineurin for these channel-complexes have been described. Hence, we will focus on the functional importance of calcineurin for IP(3)R and RyR function and on the different mechanisms by which Ca(2+)-dependent dephosphorylation can affect the gating of those intracellular Ca(2+)-release channels. Since many studies made use of immunosuppressive drugs that are inhibiting calcineurin activity, we will also have to take the different side effects of these drugs into account for the proper interpretation of the effects of calcineurin on intracellular Ca(2+)-release channels. In addition, it became recently known that various other phosphatases and kinases can associate with these channels, thereby forming macromolecular complexes. The relevance of these enzymes for IP(3)R and RyR functioning will be reviewed since in some cases they could interfere with the effects ascribed to calcineurin. Finally, we will discuss the downstream effects of calcineurin on the regulation of the expression levels of intracellular Ca(2+)-release channels as well as the relation between IP(3)R- and RyR-mediated Ca(2+) release and calcineurin-dependent gene expression.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)Rs) were recently demonstrated to be activated independently of InsP(3) by a family of calmodulin (CaM)-like neuronal Ca(2+)-binding proteins (CaBPs). We investigated the interaction of both naturally occurring long and short CaBP1 isoforms with InsP(3)Rs, and their functional effects on InsP(3)R-evoked Ca(2+) signals. Using several experimental paradigms, including transient expression in COS cells, acute injection of recombinant protein into Xenopus oocytes and (45)Ca(2+) flux from permeabilised COS cells, we demonstrated that CaBPs decrease the sensitivity of InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR). In addition, we found a Ca(2+)-independent interaction between CaBP1 and the NH(2)-terminal 159 amino acids of the type 1 InsP(3)R. This interaction resulted in decreased InsP(3) binding to the receptor reminiscent of that observed for CaM. Unlike CaM, however, CaBPs do not inhibit ryanodine receptors, have a higher affinity for InsP(3)Rs and more potently inhibited IICR. We also show that phosphorylation of CaBP1 at a casein kinase 2 consensus site regulates its inhibition of IICR. Our data suggest that CaBPs are endogenous regulators of InsP(3)Rs tuning the sensitivity of cells to InsP(3).

Abstract
Transient rises in the cytoplasmic concentration of calcium ions serve as second messenger signals that control many neuronal functions. Selective triggering of these functions is achieved through spatial localization of calcium signals. Several qualitatively different forms of local calcium signaling can be distinguished by the location of open calcium channels as well as by the distance between these channels and the calcium binding proteins that serve as the molecular targets of calcium action. Local calcium signaling is especially prominent at presynaptic active zones and postsynaptic densities, structures that are distinguished by highly organized macromolecular arrays that yield precise spatial arrangements of calcium signaling proteins. Similar forms of local calcium signaling may be employed throughout the nervous system, though much remains to be learned about the molecular underpinnings of these events.

Abstract
The synthesis of a series of adenophostin A analogues modified at C-6 and C-2 of adenine is described. The target compounds were synthesized by a convergent route involving a modified Vorbrüggen condensation of either 6-chloropurine or 2,6-dichloropurine with a protected disaccharide, yielding two versatile intermediates capable of undergoing substitution with a range of nucleophiles. The new analogues showed a range of abilities to mobilize Ca(2+) from the intracellular stores of permeabilized hepatocytes and are among the first totally synthetic compounds to approach the activity of adenophostin A. In agreement with the biological results, docking studies of adenophostin A using the recently reported X-ray crystal structure of the type 1 Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor binding core suggested that, in likely binding modes of adenophostin A, the area around N(6) may be relatively open, identifying this region of the adenophostin A molecule as a promising target for further elaboration. The docking results also point to specific interactions involving residues within the binding domain of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor that may be involved in the molecular recognition of the adenophostins.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ release is involved in setting up Ca2+ signals in all eukaryotic cells. Here we report that an increase in free Ca2+ concentration triggered the release of up to 41 +/- 3% of the intracellular Ca2+ stores in permeabilized A7r5 (embryonic rat aorta) cells with an EC50 of 700 nm. This type of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) was neither mediated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors nor by ryanodine receptors, because it was not blocked by heparin, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, xestospongin C, ruthenium red, or ryanodine. ATP dose-dependently stimulated the CICR mechanism, whereas 10 mm MgCl2 abolished it. CICR was not affected by exogenously added calmodulin (CaM), but CaM1234, a Ca2+-insensitive CaM mutant, strongly inhibited the CICR mechanism. Other proteins of the CaM-like neuronal Ca2+-sensor protein family such as Ca2+-binding protein 1 and neuronal Ca2+ sensor-1 were equally potent for inhibiting the CICR. Removal of endogenous CaM, using a CaM-binding peptide derived from the ryanodine receptor type-1 (amino acids 3614-3643) prevented subsequent activation of the CICR mechanism. A similar CICR mechanism was also found in 16HBE14o-(human bronchial mucosa) cells. We conclude that A7r5 and 16HBE14o-cells express a novel type of CICR mechanism that is silent in normal resting conditions due to inhibition by CaM but becomes activated by a Ca2+-dependent dissociation of CaM. This CICR mechanism, which may be regulated by members of the family of neuronal Ca2+-sensor proteins, may provide an additional route for Ca2+ release that could allow amplification of small Ca2+ signals.

In cultured rat dorsal root ganglion neurones we measured dynamic changes in free Ca(2+) concentration within the ER lumen ([Ca(2+)](L)) in response to activation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)Rs) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs). We found that both receptors co-exist in these neurones and their activation results in Ca(2+) release from the ER as judged by a decrease in [Ca(2+)](L). Depletion of Ca(2+) stores following an inhibition of sarco(endoplasmic)reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase by thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid completely eliminated Ca(2+) release via both InsP(3)Rs and RyRs. Similarly, when the store was depleted by continuous activation of InsP(3)Rs, activation of RyRs (by caffeine or 0.5 microM ryanodine) failed to produce Ca(2+) release, and vice versa, when the stores were depleted by activators of RyRs, the InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release disappeared. We conclude that in mammalian neurones InsP(3)Rs and RyRs share the common continuous Ca(2+) pool associated with ER.

Abstract
Ca2+ is a highly versatile intracellular signal that operates over a wide temporal range to regulate many different cellular processes. An extensive Ca2+-signalling toolkit is used to assemble signalling systems with very different spatial and temporal dynamics. Rapid highly localized Ca2+ spikes regulate fast responses, whereas slower responses are controlled by repetitive global Ca2+ transients or intracellular Ca2+ waves. Ca2+ has a direct role in controlling the expression patterns of its signalling systems that are constantly being remodelled in both health and disease.
