Abstract
Rotavirus (RV) being the major diarrhoegenic virus causes around 527000 children death (<5years age) worldwide. In cellular environment, viruses constantly adapt and modulate to survive and replicate while the host cell also responds to combat the situation and this results in the differential regulation of cellular proteins. To identify the virus induced differential expression of proteins, 2D-DIGE (Two-dimensional Difference Gel Electrophoresis) based proteomics was used. For this, HT-29 cells were infected with RV strain SA11 for 0 hours, 3 hours and 9 hours post infection (hpi), differentially expressed spots were excised from the gel and identified using MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. 2D-DIGE based proteomics study identified 32 differentially modulated proteins, of which 22 were unique. Some of these were validated in HT-29 cell line and in BALB/c mice model. One of the modulated cellular proteins, calmodulin (CaM) was found to directly interact with RV protein VP6 in the presence of Ca2+. Ca2+-CaM/VP6 interaction positively regulates RV propagation since both CaM inhibitor (W-7) and Ca2+ chelator (BAPTA-AM) resulted in decreased viral titers. This study not only identifies differentially modulated cellular proteins upon infection with rotavirus in 2D-DIGE but also confirmed positive engagement of cellular Ca2+/CaM during viral pathogenesis.

Abstract
Sulfur mustard (SM) causes blisters in the skin through a series of cellular changes that we are beginning to identify. We earlier demonstrated that SM toxicity is the result of induction of both death receptor and mitochondrial pathways of apoptosis in human keratinocytes (KC). Because of its importance in apoptosis in the skin, we tested whether calmodulin (CaM) mediates the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway induced by SM. Of the three human CaM genes, the predominant form expressed in KC was CaM1. RT-PCR and immunoblot analysis revealed upregulation of CaM expression following SM treatment. To delineate the potential role of CaM1 in the regulation of SM-induced apoptosis, retroviral vectors expressing CaM1 RNA in the antisense (AS) orientation were used to transduce and derive stable CaM1 AS cells, which were then exposed to SM and subjected to immunoblot analysis for expression of apoptotic markers. Proteolytic activation of executioner caspases-3, -6, -7, and the upstream caspase-9, as well as caspase-mediated PARP cleavage were markedly inhibited by CaM1 AS expression. CaM1 AS depletion attenuated SM-induced, but not Fas-induced, proteolytic processing and activation of caspase-3. Whereas control KC exhibited a marked increase in apoptotic nuclear fragmentation after SM, CaM1 AS cells exhibited normal nuclear morphology up to 48h after SM, indicating that suppression of apoptosis in CaM1 AS cells increases survival and does not shift to a necrotic death. CaM has been shown to activate the phosphatase calcineurin, which can induce apoptosis by Bad dephosphorylation. Interestingly, whereas SM-treated CaM1-depleted KC expressed the phosphorylated non-apoptotic sequestered form of Bad, Bad was present in the hypophosphorylated apoptotic form in SM-exposed control KC. To determine if pharmacological CaM inhibitors could attenuate SM-induced apoptosis via Bad dephosphorylation, KC were pretreated with the CaM-specific antagonist W-13 or its less active structural analogue W-12. Following SM exposure, KC exhibited Bad dephosphorylation, which was inhibited in the presence of W-13, but not with W-12. Consequently, W-13 but not W-12 markedly suppressed SM-induced proteolytic processing and activation of caspase-3, as well as apoptotic nuclear fragmentation. Finally, while the CaM antagonist W-13 and the calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporin A attenuated SM-induced caspase-3 activation, inhibitors for CaM-dependent protein kinase II (KN62 and KN93) did not. These results indicate that CaM, calcineurin, and Bad also play a role in SM-induced apoptosis, and may therefore be targets for therapeutic intervention to reduce SM injury.

Abstract
Transformation of fibroblasts by various oncogenes, including ras, mos, and src accompanies with characteristic morphological changes from flat to round (or spindle) shapes. Such morphological change is believed to play an important role in establishing malignant characteristics of cancer cells. Activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is a converging downstream event of transforming activities of many oncogene products commonly found in human cancers. Intracellular calcium is known to regulate cellular morphology. In fibroblasts, Ca2+ influx is primarily controlled by two types of Ca2+ channels (T- and L-types). Here, we report that the T-type current was specifically inhibited in cells expressing oncogenically activated Ras as well as gain-of-function mutant MEK (MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase, a direct activator of MAPK), whereas treatment of ras-transformed cells with a MEK-specific inhibitor restored T-type Ca2+ channel activity. Using a T-type Ca2+ channel antagonist, we further found that suppression of the T-type Ca2+ channel by the activated MAPK pathway is a prerequisite event for the induction and/or maintenance of transformation-associated morphological changes.

Abstract
Calmodulin regulates diverse Ca2+-dependent cellular processes, including cell cycle progression and cytoskeletal rearrangement. A recently identified calmodulin-binding protein, IQGAP1, interacts with both actin and Cdc42. In this study, evidence is presented that, in the absence of Ca2+, IQGAP1 bound to Cdc42, which maintained Cdc42 in the active GTP-bound state. Addition of Ca2+ both directly abrogated the effect of IQGAP1 on the intrinsic GTPase activity of Cdc42 and, in the presence of calmodulin, dissociated Cdc42 from IQGAP1. In addition, in vitro binding assays revealed that calmodulin associated with both the calponin homology domain and the IQ motifs of IQGAP1. Moreover, F-actin competed with Ca2+/calmodulin for binding to the calponin homology domain, but not the IQ motifs, of IQGAP1. Analysis of cell lysates revealed that calmodulin bound to IQGAP1 in a ternary complex with Cdc42. Increasing the Ca2+ concentration enhanced the interaction between calmodulin and IQGAP1, with a concomitant decrease in the association of IQGAP1 with Cdc42. Our data suggest that IQGAP1 functions as a scaffolding protein, providing a molecular link between Ca2+/calmodulin and Cdc42 signaling.

Abstract
Calmodulin and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase are vital components of a number of common intracellular events. Calmodulin, a ubiquitous Ca2+-dependent effector protein, regulates multiple processes in eukaryotic cells, including cytoskeletal organization, vesicular trafficking, and mitogenesis. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase participates in events downstream of the receptors for insulin and other growth factors. Here we demonstrate by coimmunoprecipitation and affinity chromatography that Ca2+/calmodulin associates with Src homology 2 domains in the 85-kDa regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, thereby significantly enhancing phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in vitro and in intact cells. Furthermore, CGS9343B, a calmodulin antagonist, inhibited basal and Ca2+-stimulated phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol in intact cells. These data demonstrate a novel mechanism for modulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and provide a direct link between components of two fundamental signaling pathways.

Abstract
We studied expression of calbindin-D 28 K and parvalbumin in tecto-thalamic projection neurons and during the formation of their tecto thalamic projections using a double-labeling with Fluoro-Gold. To discern the completion of these projections, Fluoro Gold, an opalescent fluorescent dye, was injected into the dorsal lateral geniculate and/or the lateral posterior nucleus in rats of various ages from neonates to adults. After one day's survival, the brains were removed and sections of the brain were immunohistochemically processed using Cy3, a red fluorescent dye, as a marker for calbindin-D 28 K or parvalbumin. The three types of tecto thalamic neurons, which have been described previously in the adult rats, were identified in the present study. The results revealed that in developing rats: 1) A population of medium-sized neurons (the presumed pyriform cells) express calbindin-D 28 K as early as the day of birth prior to the formation of their tecto thalamic projection that occured on postnatal day 4. Most (over 90%) of them project to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; 2) A population of large neurons (the presumed wide-field vertical cells) express calbindin-D 28 K on postnatal day 7, and most of them (over 90%) project to the lateral posterior nucleus; 3) Another population of medium-sized neurons (the presumed narrow-field cells) express parvalbumin on post-natal day 17, but only a half (45%) of them project to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. In the developing nervous system, calcium ions play important roles in the biological and molecular events underlying neural development. Changes in the free intracellular calcium ion level, indicating neuronal activity has been reported to be correlated with onset of calbindin-D 28 K or parvalbumin-immunoreactivity that participate in the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis in neurons. Therefore, the present findings may reflect distinct developmental events in the different classes of tectal relay neurons that form parallel visual pathways, but which have such different functions as the detection of luminance, discrimination of direction, and the detection of fast movements.

Abstract
Calmodulin regulates numerous fundamental metabolic pathways by binding to and modulating diverse target proteins. In this study, calmodulin-binding proteins were isolated from normal (Hs578Bst) and malignant (MCF-7) human breast cell lines with calmodulin-Sepharose and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A protein that migrated at approximately 190 kDa bound to calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+ and was the only calmodulin-binding protein detected in the absence of Ca2+. This 190-kDa protein was identified as IQGAP1 by nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry and collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry. IQGAP1 coimmunoprecipitated with calmodulin from lysates of MCF-7 cells. Moreover, overlay with 125I-calmodulin confirmed that IQGAP1 binds directly to calmodulin. Analysis of the functional effects of the interaction revealed that Ca2+/calmodulin disrupted the binding of purified IQGAP1 to the Ras-related protein Cdc42 in a concentration-dependent manner. These data clearly identify IQGAP1 as the predominant calmodulin-binding protein in Ca2+-free breast cell lysates and reveal that calmodulin modulates the interaction between IQGAP1 and Cdc42.

Abstract
The role calmodulin plays in the growth and differentiation of nerve cells was assessed by altering the levels of calmodulin in the PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cell line and determining the effects of altering these levels on cellular proliferation and differentiation. Calmodulin levels in the PC12 cells were increased or decreased by transfecting the cells with a mammalian expression vector into which the rat calmodulin gene I had been cloned in the sense or antisense orientation, respectively. The cells transfected with the calmodulin sense gene showed increased levels of calmodulin immunoreactivity and increased levels of calmodulin messenger RNA as ascertained by immunocytochemistry and slot-blot analysis, respectively. Cells transfected with the calmodulin antisense construct showed reduced levels of calmodulin immunoreactivity. Reducing the levels of calmodulin by expression of antisense calmodulin messenger RNA resulted in a marked inhibition of cell growth, whereas increasing the levels of calmodulin by overexpressing calmodulin messenger RNA resulted in an acceleration of cell growth. Transfected PC12 cells having reduced levels of calmodulin immunoreactivity exhibited spontaneous outgrowth of long, stable and highly branched neuritic processes. PC12 cells in which calmodulin was overexpressed showed no apparent changes in cell morphology, but did show an altered response to the addition of nerve growth factor. While nerve growth factor slowed cellular proliferation and induced extensive neurite outgrowth, in parental PC12 cells nerve growth factor induced little or no neurite outgrowth and little inhibition of cell proliferation in transfected cells overexpressing calmodulin. These results indicate that calmodulin is essential for the proliferation of nerve cells and for the morphological changes that nerve cells undergo during differentiation. The study also suggests the possibility that a calmodulin antisense approach may be used to inhibit the proliferation of neuronal tumors.

Abstract
Insulin was shown in our previous experiments to induce an increase in binding of glycolytic enzymes to muscle cytoskeleton. We show here the same stimulatory effect of insulin in C-6 glial cells in culture. In these cells, like in muscle, a short time of incubation with insulin (1-10 min) induced an increase in cytoskeleton bound phosphofructokinase and aldolase. This stimulatory effect of insulin could be prevented by treatment with calmodulin antagonists trifluoperazine, thioridazine or CGS 9343 B (a potent and selective inhibitor of calmodulin activity), which strongly suggests that calmodulin is involved in this action of insulin. Our previous experiments have shown that growth factors and Ca(2+) also induce a rapid, calmodulin-mediated stimulation of binding of glycolytic enzymes to cytoskeleton. The present and previous results suggest that the rapid binding of glycolytic enzymes to cytoskeleton, may be a general mechanism, in different cells, in signal transduction of insulin, growth factors and other Ca(2+) -mobilizing hormones. The accelerated cytoskeletal glycolysis will supply local ATP, which is required for the rapid cytoskeletal-membrane rearrangements following the binding of hormone to its receptor.

Abstract
A synthetic gene encoding a ‘consensus’ calmodulin (synCaM) was able to substitute for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae calmodulin gene (CMDI), even though synCaM is only 60% identical in primary amino acid sequence to yeast Cmd1. Twelve different synCaM mutants were also expressed in yeast. Seven of the 12 mutant synCaMs supported germination and growth of Cmd1-deficient spores. Five of the 12 mutant synCaMs were incapable of supporting germination of Cmd1-deficient spores and, of these, four were also incapable of supporting vegetative growth of Cmd1-deficient haploid cells. The five nonfunctional synCaM mutants were expressed at levels equivalent to, or higher than, the seven synCaM mutants that were able to substitute for Cmd1; thus, the inability to function was not simply due to inadequate expression or rapid degradation. All nonfunctional synCaM mutants shared a single charge reversal mutation in the central helix (E84K), which was found to be sufficient to confer the lethal phenotype. The ability of another mutant synCaM (S101F) to support growth of Cmd1-deficient cells was dependent on cell ploidy. Another mutant (K115Y) supported spore germination and vegetative growth, but not meiosis and sporulation. The terminal phenotype of cells lacking a functional calmodulin included a dramatic accumulation of polymerized microtubules.
