Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) signalling is well known to dictate cellular functioning and fate. In recent years, the accumulation of Ca2+ in the mitochondria has emerged as an important factor in Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRD) such as Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Various reports underline an aberrant increase in the intracellular Ca2+, leading to mitochondrial ROS generation, and further activation of the apoptotic pathway in these diseases. Mitochondria contribute to Ca2+ buffering which in turn regulates mitochondrial metabolism and ATP production. Disruption of this Ca2+ balance leads to impaired cellular processes like apoptosis or necrosis and thus contributes to the pathophysiology of airway diseases. This review highlights the key role of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca2+ signalling in regulating CRD, such as asthma and COPD. A better understanding of the dysregulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis in these diseases could provide cues for the development of advanced therapeutic interventions in these diseases.

Abstract
The importance of Ca2+-signaling for many subcellular processes is well established in higher eukaryotes, whereas information about protozoa is restricted. Recent genome analyses have stimulated such work also with Alveolates, such as ciliates (Paramecium, Tetrahymena) and their pathogenic close relatives, the Apicomplexa (Plasmodium, Toxoplasma). Here we compare Ca2+ signaling in the two closely related groups. Acidic Ca2+ stores have been characterized in detail in Apicomplexa, but hardly in ciliates. Two-pore channels engaged in Ca2+-release from acidic stores in higher eukaryotes have not been stingently characterized in either group. Both groups are endowed with plasma membrane- and endoplasmic reticulum-type Ca2+-ATPases (PMCA, SERCA), respectively. Only recently was it possible to identify in Paramecium a number of homologs of ryanodine and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate receptors (RyR, IP3R) and to localize them to widely different organelles participating in vesicle trafficking. For Apicomplexa, physiological experiments suggest the presence of related channels although their identity remains elusive. In Paramecium, IP3Rs are constitutively active in the contractile vacuole complex; RyR-related channels in alveolar sacs are activated during exocytosis stimulation, whereas in the parasites the homologous structure (inner membrane complex) may no longer function as a Ca2+ store. Scrutinized comparison of the two closely related protozoan phyla may stimulate further work and elucidate adaptation to parasitic life. See also "Conclusions" section.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a molecule capable of initiating the release of intracellular Ca(2+) required for many essential cellular processes. Recent evidence links two-pore channels (TPCs) with NAADP-induced release of Ca(2+) from lysosome-like acidic organelles; however, there has been no direct demonstration that TPCs can act as NAADP-sensitive Ca(2+) release channels. Controversial evidence also proposes ryanodine receptors as the primary target of NAADP. We show that TPC2, the major lysosomal targeted isoform, is a cation channel with selectivity for Ca(2+) that will enable it to act as a Ca(2+) release channel in the cellular environment. NAADP opens TPC2 channels in a concentration-dependent manner, binding to high affinity activation and low affinity inhibition sites. At the core of this process is the luminal environment of the channel. The sensitivity of TPC2 to NAADP is steeply dependent on the luminal [Ca(2+)] allowing extremely low levels of NAADP to open the channel. In parallel, luminal pH controls NAADP affinity for TPC2 by switching from reversible activation of TPC2 at low pH to irreversible activation at neutral pH. Further evidence earmarking TPCs as the likely pathway for NAADP-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release is obtained from the use of Ned-19, the selective blocker of cellular NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release. Ned-19 antagonizes NAADP-activation of TPC2 in a non-competitive manner at 1 μM but potentiates NAADP activation at nanomolar concentrations. This single-channel study provides a long awaited molecular basis for the peculiar mechanistic features of NAADP signaling and a framework for understanding how NAADP can mediate key physiological events.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the background and implications of our recent discovery that two-pore channels (TPCs) comprise a novel class of calcium release channels gated by the intracellular messenger nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). Their localisation to the endolysosomal system highlights a new function for these organelles as targets for NAADP-mediated Ca(2+) mobilisation. In addition, we describe how TPCs may also trigger further Ca(2+) release by coupling to the endoplasmic reticular stores through activation of IP(3) receptors and ryanodine receptors.

Abstract
Many physiological processes are controlled by a great diversity of Ca2+ signals that depend on Ca2+ entry into the cell and/or Ca2+ release from internal Ca2+ stores. Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores is gated by a family of messengers including inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). There is increasing evidence for a novel intracellular Ca2+ release channel that may be targeted by NAADP and that displays properties distinctly different from the well-characterized InsP3 and ryanodine receptors. These channels appear to localize on a wider range of intracellular organelles, including the acidic Ca2+ stores. Activation of the NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ channels evokes complex changes in cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels by means of channel chatter with other intracellular Ca2+ channels. The recent demonstration of changes in intracellular NAADP levels in response to physiologically relevant extracellular stimuli highlights the significance of NAADP as an important regulator of intracellular Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
NAADP (nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a derivative of NADP (nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate), which differs by the presence of a nicotinic acid instead of a nicotinamide moiety. This small structural difference makes NAADP one of the most powerful second messengers known, able to mobilize intracellular Ca2+ in a wide range of cellular models, ranging from invertebrates to mammals. Despite this, our understanding of NAADP homoeostasis, metabolism and physiological action is still limited. A new report by Vasudevan and colleagues in this issue of the Biochemical Journal provides important new data by describing a new synthetic activity in sperm cells which may turn out to represent the most physiologically relevant route to this second messenger.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is capable of inducing global Ca2+ increases via a lysosome-associated mechanism, but the mechanism mediating NAADP-induced intracellular Ca2+ release remains unclear. The present study reconstituted and characterized a lysosomal NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channel using purified lysosomes from rat liver. Furthermore, the identity of lysosomal NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channels was also investigated. It was found that NAADP activates lysosomal Ca2+ release channels at concentrations of 1 nM to 1 microM, but this activating effect of NAADP was significantly reduced when the concentrations used increased to 10 or 100 microM. Either activators or blockers of Ca2+ release channels on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) had no effect on the activity of these NAADP-activated Ca2+ release channels. Interestingly, the activity of this lysosomal NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channel increased when the pH in cis solution decreased, but it could not be inhibited by a lysosomal H+-ATPase antagonist, bafilomycin A1. However, the activity of this channel was significantly inhibited by plasma membrane L-type Ca2+ channel blockers such as verapamil, diltiazem, and nifedipine, or the nonselective Ca2+,Na+ channel blocker, amiloride. In addition, blockade of TRP-ML1 (transient receptor potential-mucolipin 1) protein by anti-TRP-ML1 antibody markedly attenuated NAADP-induced activation of these lysosomal Ca2+ channels. These results for the first time provide direct evidence that a NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channel is present in the lysosome of native liver cells and that this channel is associated with TRP-ML1, which is different from ER/SR Ca2+ release channels.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) has been shown to mobilize Ca(2+) from intracellular stores in a wide variety of organisms, ranging from plants to humans. We have developed a novel enzyme cycling assay for NAADP that involves coupled reactions catalyzed by four enzymes. In this system, NAADP is first converted into nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NAAD) by alkaline phosphatase, after which the NAAD is converted to NAD, AMP, and PPi by NAD synthetase (NADS) in the presence of ATP and ammonia. The NAD is then amplified using an enzyme cycling system driven by glucose dehydrogenase and diaphorase. The resultant formation of formazan dye is measured spectrophotometrically based on the increase in absorbance at 450 nm. Using this method, NAADP (20-400 nM) was assayed, and a highly linear correlation was obtained between the NAADP concentration and the increase in absorbance at 450 nm. The cycling rate was approximately 95 cycles/min. In addition, the within-run coefficients of variation (CVs) for 25, 50, and 100 nM NAADP solutions were 9.33, 4.86, and 3.13%, respectively. Interference by NAD analogs (e.g., NAAD, NADP) in the sample was eliminated prior to running the assay by treating the sample with NADS and NAD nucleosidase (NADase). In sum, our findings indicate this enzyme cycling assay to be readily applicable for determination for NAADP in a variety of biological samples and to be particularly appropriate for use with an autoanalyzer.

Abstract
The present study was designed to determine the production of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) and its role associated with lysosomes in mediating endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced vasoconstriction in coronary arteries. HPLC assay showed that NAADP was produced in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) via endogenous ADP-ribosyl cyclase. Fluorescence microscopic analysis of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in CASMCs revealed that exogenous 100 nM NAADP increased [Ca2+]i by 711 +/- 47 nM. Lipid bilayer experiments, however, demonstrated that NAADP did not directly activate ryanodine (Rya) receptor Ca2+ release channels on the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In CASMCs pretreated with 100 nM bafilomycin A1 (Baf), an inhibitor of lysosomal Ca2+ release and vacuolar proton pump function, NAADP-induced [Ca2+]i increase was significantly abolished. Moreover, ET-1 significantly increased NAADP formation in CASMCs and resulted in the rise of [Ca2+]i in these cells with a large increase in global Ca2+ level of 1,815 +/- 84 nM. Interestingly, before this large Ca2+ increase, a small Ca2+ spike with an increase in [Ca2+]i of 529 +/- 32 nM was observed. In the presence of Baf (100 nM), this ET-1-induced two-phase [Ca2+]i response was completely abolished, whereas Rya (50 microM) only markedly blocked the ET-1-induced large global Ca2+ increase. Functional studies showed that 100 nM Baf significantly attenuated ET-1-induced maximal constriction from 82.26 +/- 4.42% to 51.80 +/- 4.36%. Our results suggest that a lysosome-mediated Ca2+ regulatory mechanism via NAADP contributes to ET-1-induced Ca2+ mobilization in CASMCs and consequent vasoconstriction of coronary arteries.

Abstract
Inositol trisphosphate and cyclic ADP-ribose release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum via inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors, respectively. By contrast, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate may activate a novel Ca2+ channel in an acid compartment. We show, in two-photon permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells, that the three messengers tested could each release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum and also from an acid store in the granular region. The nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate action on both types of store, like that of cyclic ADP-ribose but unlike inositol trisphosphate, depended on operational ryanodine receptors, since it was blocked by ryanodine or ruthenium red. The acid Ca2+ store in the granular region did not have Golgi or lysosomal characteristics and might therefore be associated with the secretory granules. The endoplasmic reticulum is predominantly basal, but thin extensions penetrate into the granular area and cytosolic Ca2+ signals probably initiate at sites where endoplasmic reticulum elements and granules come close together.

Abstract
Various reports have demonstrated that the sphingolipids sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate are able to induce Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in a similar way to second messengers. Here, we have used the sea urchin egg homogenate, a model system for the study of intracellular Ca2+ release mechanisms, to investigate the effect of these sphingolipids. While ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate did not display the ability to release Ca2+, sphingosine stimulated transient Ca2+ release from thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular stores. This release was inhibited by ryanodine receptor blockers (high concentrations of ryanodine, Mg2+, and procaine) but not by pre-treatment of homogenates with cADPR, 8-bromo-cADPR or blockers of other intracellular Ca2+ channels. However, sphingosine rendered the ryanodine receptor refractory to cADPR. We propose that, in the sea urchin egg, sphingosine is able to activate the ryanodine receptor via a mechanism distinct from that used by cADPR.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) has been shown to release intracellular Ca(2+) in several types of cells. We have used Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dyes (Fura-2, Fluo-4) to measure intracellular Ca(2+) in astrocytes in culture and in situ. Bath-applied NAADP elicited a reversible and concentration-dependent Ca(2+) rise in up to 90% of astrocytes in culture (EC(50)=7 microM). The NAADP-evoked Ca(2+) rise was maintained in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), but was suppressed after depleting the Ca(2+) stores of the ER with ATP (20 microM), with cyclopiazonic acid (10 microM) or with ionomycin (5 microM). P(2) receptor antagonist pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2'4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS, 100 microM), IP(3) receptor blocker 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB, 100 microM) and PLC inhibitor U73122 (10 microM) also reduced or suppressed the NAADP-evoked Ca(2+) rise. NAADP still evoked a Ca(2+) response after application of glycyl-l-phenylalanine-beta-naphthylamide (GPN, 200 microM), which permeabilizes lysosomes, or preincubation with H(+)-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1 (4 microM) and of p-trifluoromethoxy carbonyl cyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP, 2 microM), that impairs mitochondrial Ca(2+) handling. In acute brain slices, NAADP (10 microM) evoked Ca(2+) transients in cerebellar Bergmann glial cells and in hippocampal astrocytes. Our results suggest that NAADP recruits Ca(2+) from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca(2+) stores in mammalian astrocytes, at least partly by activating metabotropic P(2)Y receptors.

Abstract
The contractility of airway smooth muscle cells is dependent on dynamic changes in the concentration of intracellular calcium. Signaling molecules such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and cyclic ADP-ribose play pivotal roles in the control of intracellular calcium concentration. Alterations in the processes involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium concentration contribute to the pathogenesis of airway diseases such as asthma. Recent studies have identified cyclic ADP-ribose as a calcium-mobilizing second messenger in airway smooth muscle cells, and modulation of the pathway involved in its metabolism results in altered calcium homeostasis and may contribute to airway hyperresponsiveness. In this review, we describe the basic mechanisms underlying the dynamics of calcium regulation and the role of CD38/cADPR, a novel pathway, in the context of airway smooth muscle function and its contribution to airway diseases such as asthma.

Abstract
Calcium is the most universal carrier of signals to cells. Chosen by evolution because of its peculiar flexibility as a ligand, it now regulates all important aspects of cell activity, beginning with the creation of new life at fertilization and ending with the dramatic event of apoptotic suicide at the end of the life cycle. The process of signal transduction by Ca2+ displays a number of properties that make it unique among all other carriers of signals: for instance, the ability to perform both a first messenger and a second messenger function, or the frequent activation of autoregulatory mechanisms. The aspect that distinguishes the Ca2+ signaling function most dramatically is ambivalence. Cells have an absolute dependence on the messenger function of Ca2+ in order to function properly and must control its homeostasis with precision to maintain its free concentration in their interior at the appropriate low level. Catastrophy, however, invariably follows whenever protracted failures of the control mechanisms lead to sustained Ca2+ overload.

Abstract
Nuclear calcium signalling has been a controversial battlefield for many years and the question of how permeable the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are to Ca2+ has been the subject of a particularly hot dispute. Recent data from isolated nuclei suggest that the NPCs are open even after depletion of the Ca2+ store in the nuclear envelope. Other research has suggested that a new Ca2+ -releasing messenger, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), can liberate Ca2+ only from acidic organelles, probably lysosomes, rather than from the traditional Ca2+ store in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recent work indicates that NAADP can release Ca2+ from the nuclear envelope (NE), which has a thapsigargin-sensitive, ER-type Ca2+ store. NAADP acts in a manner similar to inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] or cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR): all three messengers are equally able to reduce the Ca2+ concentration inside the NE and this is associated with a transient rise in the nucleoplasmic Ca2+ concentration. The NE contains ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors [Ins(1,4,5)P3Rs], and these can be activated separately and independently: the RyRs by either NAADP or cADPR, and the Ins(1,4,5)P3Rs by Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Abstract
Ca2+ release from the envelope of isolated pancreatic acinar nuclei could be activated by nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) as well as by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). Each of these agents reduced the Ca2+ concentration inside the nuclear envelope, and this was associated with a transient rise in the nucleoplasmic Ca2+ concentration. NAADP released Ca2+ from the same thapsigargin-sensitive pool as IP3. The NAADP action was specific because, for example, nicotineamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate was ineffective. The Ca2+ release was unaffected by procedures interfering with acidic organelles (bafilomycin, brefeldin, and nigericin). Ryanodine blocked the Ca2+-releasing effects of NAADP, cADPR, and caffeine, but not IP3. Ruthenium red also blocked the NAADP-elicited Ca2+ release. IP3 receptor blockade did not inhibit the Ca2+ release elicited by NAADP or cADPR. The nuclear envelope contains ryanodine and IP3 receptors that can be activated separately and independently; the ryanodine receptors by either NAADP or cADPR, and the IP3 receptors by IP3.

Abstract
Previous reports on heterologously-expressed human P2Y11 receptors have indicated that ATP, but not UTP, is an agonist stimulating both phosphoinositidase C and adenylyl cyclase. Consistent with these findings, we report that in 1321N1 cells expressing human P2Y11 receptors, UTP stimulation did not lead to accumulation of inositol(poly)phosphates under conditions in which ATP gave a robust, concentration-dependent effect. Unexpectedly, however, both UTP and ATP stimulated increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c), with both nucleotides achieving similar EC50 and maximal responses. The responses to maximally effective concentrations of ATP and UTP were not additive. The [Ca2+]c increase in response to UTP was less dependent on extracellular Ca2+ than was the response to ATP. AR-C67085 (2-propylthio-beta,gamma-difluoromethylene-d-ATP, a P2Y11-selective agonist), adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), and benzoyl ATP were all full agonists with potencies similar to those of ATP and UTP. In desensitization experiments, exposure to ATP resulted in loss of the UTP response; this response was more sensitive to desensitization than that of ATP. Pertussis toxin pretreatment attenuated the response to UTP but left the ATP response unaffected. The presence of 2-aminoethyl diphenylborate differentially affected the responses of ATP and UTP. No mRNA transcripts for P2Y2 or P2Y4 were detectable in the P2Y11-expressing cells. We conclude that UTP is a Ca2+-mobilizing agonist at P2Y11 receptors and that ATP and UTP acting at the same receptor recruit distinct signaling pathways. This example of agonist-specific signaling is discussed in terms of agonist trafficking and differential signal strength.

Abstract
The effect of seven compounds intracellularly applied by spontaneous diffusion were investigated on the EPYLRFamide-induced reduction of acetylcholine-induced inward current (ACh-current) recorded from identified neurones from Helix lucorum. Inward currents were recorded from neurones LPa2, LPa3, RPa3 and RPa2 in isolated ganglia preparations using two-electrode voltage clamp technique. ACh was applied ionophoretically. Heparin, an antagonist of IP(3) receptors (IP(3)Rs), and IP(3), the agonist of IP(3)Rs, decreased the effect of EPYLRFamide. Thio-NADP, a blocker of NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release, beta-NAADP, Ca(2+) releaser, R24571, W-7 (both calmodulin antagonists), and KN-62, a selective inhibitor of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, did not change the modulatory effect of EPYLRFamide. These data suggest that EPYLRFamide decreases ACh-current through elevation of the basal intracellular level of the putative endogenous agonist of IP(3)Rs which activates release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. It is concluded that intracellular free Ca(2+) acts on ACh receptor/ionic channel without activation of calmodulin and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.

Abstract
Although glucose-elicited insulin secretion depends on Ca(2+) entry through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels in the surface cell membrane of the pancreatic beta-cell, there is also ample evidence for an important role of intracellular Ca(2+) stores, particularly in relation to hormone- or neurotransmitter-induced insulin secretion. There is now direct evidence for Ca(2+) entry-induced release of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum in neurons, but with regard to glucose stimulation of beta-cells, there is conflicting evidence about the operation of such a process. This finding suggests that the sensitivity of the Ca(2+) release channels in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane varies under different conditions and therefore is regulated. Recent evidence from studies of pancreatic acinar cells has revealed combinatorial roles of multiple messengers in setting the sensitivity of the endoplasmic reticulum for Ca(2+) release. Here we focus on the possible combinatorial roles of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, cyclic ADP-ribose, and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate in beta-cell function.

Abstract
Calcium is a universal second messenger. The temporal and spatial information that is encoded in Ca(2+)-transients drives processes as diverse as neurotransmitter secretion, axonal outgrowth, immune responses and muscle contraction. Ca(2+)-release from intracellular Ca(2+) stores can be triggered by diffusible second messengers like Ins P (3), cyclic ADP-ribose or nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). A target has not yet been identified for the latter messenger. In the present study we show that nanomolar concentrations of NAADP trigger Ca(2+)-release from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. This was due to a direct action on the Ca(2+)-release channel/ryanodine receptor type-1, since in single channel recordings, NAADP increased the open probability of the purified channel protein. The effects of NAADP on Ca(2+)-release and open probability of the ryanodine receptor occurred over a similar concentration range (EC(50) approximately 30 nM) and were specific because (i) they were blocked by Ruthenium Red and ryanodine, (ii) the precursor of NAADP, NADP, was ineffective at equimolar concentrations, (iii) NAADP did not affect the conductance and reversal potential of the ryanodine receptor. Finally, we also detected an ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in the sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction of skeletal muscle. This enzyme was not only capable of synthesizing cyclic GDP-ribose but also NAADP, with an activity of 0.25 nmol/mg/min. Thus, we conclude that NAADP is generated in the vicinity of type 1 ryanodine receptor and leads to activation of this ion channel.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) has been shown to induce Ca(2+) release in numerous cellular models, ranging from marine invertebrates to mammals. However, endogenous levels of this pyridine dinucleotide have yet to be demonstrated. In the sea urchin egg, NAADP receptors are abundant but have the peculiarity of being inactivated at low concentrations (picomolar) and activated at higher concentrations (nanomolar) which apparently rules out any possibility of the receptor being activated by concentration rises induced by a slow enzymatic formation in the cytosol. One of the most important events of fertilization is a Ca(2+) transient in the egg, which leads to egg activation. The mechanisms which underlie the transient are still unclear and several theories persist including the existence of a sperm receptor and that soluble factors may pass from the sperm to the egg cytosol. We have investigated the possibility that NAADP might be present in sperm. Indeed, we found that sea water-activated spermatozoa are able to synthesize NAADP and that sperm extracts contain micromolar concentrations of the messenger. Although it is unlikely that NAADP alone mediates the fertilization wave, our data suggest that transfer of NAADP from spermatozoa to egg may play a role in this phenomenon.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a newly described Ca2+-mobilizing nucleotide that appears to target intracellular Ca2+-release channels distinct from those sensitive to inositol trisphosphate or ryanodine/cyclic ADP-ribose. Little, however, is known concerning the regulation of cellular NAADP levels. In the present study, we have characterized the metabolism of NAADP by brain membranes. From HPLC and MS analyses we show that loss of NAADP was associated with the appearance of a major product that is likely to be nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide (NAAD), the dephosphorylated form of NAADP. Dephosphorylation of NAADP, but not 3'-NAADP, was dramatically attenuated by Ca2+ chelators and stimulated by Ca2+ over a physiological range in a calmodulin-insensitive manner. In contrast, NADP was metabolized predominantly to ADP-ribose phosphate via glycohydrolase activity, although slower Ca2+-dependent dephosphorylation of both NADP and 2'-AMP could also be demonstrated. This is the first report describing a Ca2+-regulated 2'-specific phosphatase which is probably the major pathway for the inactivation of NAADP in brain. Our data provide a potential feedback mechanism for limiting NAADP-induced Ca2+ release within cells through stimulation of NAADP metabolism by Ca2+ and strongly support a signalling role for this novel nucleotide in the brain.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is one of the most potent stimulators of intracellular Ca2+ release known to date. The role of the NAADP system in physiological processes is being extensively investigated at the present time. Exciting new discoveries in the last 5 years suggest that the NAADP-regulated system may have a significant role in intracellular Ca2+ signaling. The NAADP receptor and its associated Ca2+ pool have been hypothesized to be important in several physiological processes including fertilization, T cell activation, and pancreatic secretion. However, whether NAADP is a new second messenger or a tool for the discovery of a new Ca2+ channel is still an unanswered question.

Abstract
In general, excitation-contraction coupling in muscle is dependent on membrane depolarization and hyperpolarization to regulate the opening of voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels and, thereby, influence intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). Thus Ca(2+) channel blockers and K(+) channel openers are important tools in the arsenals against hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction, etc. Airway smooth muscle (ASM) also exhibits robust Ca(2+), K(+), and Cl(-) currents, and there are elaborate signaling pathways that regulate them. It is easy, then, to presume that these also play a central role in contraction/relaxation of ASM. However, several lines of evidence speak to the contrary. Also, too many researchers in the ASM field view the sarcoplasmic reticulum as being centrally located and displacing its contents uniformly throughout the cell, and they have focused almost exclusively on the initial single [Ca(2+)] spike evoked by excitatory agonists. Several recent studies have revealed complex spatial and temporal heterogeneity in [Ca(2+)](i), the significance of which is only just beginning to be appreciated. In this review, we will compare what is known about ion channels in ASM with what is believed to be their roles in ASM physiology. Also, we will examine some novel ionic mechanisms in the context of Ca(2+) handling and excitation-contraction coupling in ASM.

Abstract
We find that the adrenergic agonist isoproterenol increases intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in cultured rat brown adipocytes. At the concentration used (10 microM), isoproterenol-induced Ca(2+) responses were sensitive to block by either alpha(1)- or beta-adrenergic antagonists, suggesting an interaction between these receptor subtypes. Despite reliance on beta-adrenoceptor activation, the Ca(2+) response was not due solely to increases in cAMP because, administered alone, the selective beta(3)-adrenergic agonist BRL-37344 or forskolin did not increase [Ca(2+)](i). However, increased cAMP elicited vigorous [Ca(2+)](i) increases in the presence of barely active concentrations of the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine or the P2Y receptor agonist UTP. Consistent with isoproterenol recruiting only inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-sensitive Ca(2+) stores, endoplasmic reticulum store depletion by thapsigargin blocked isoproterenol-induced Ca(2+) increases, but removal of external Ca(2+) did not. These results argue that increases in cAMP sensitize the IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) release system in brown adipocytes.

Abstract
Cells possess multiple intracellular Ca2+-releasing systems. Sea urchin egg homogenates are a well-established model to study intracellular Ca2+ release. In the present study the mechanism of interaction between three intracellular Ca2+ pools, namely the nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), the cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and the inositol 1',4',5'-trisphosphate (IP3)-regulated Ca2+ stores, is explored. The data indicate that the NAADP Ca2+ pool could be used to sensitize the cADPR system. In contrast, the IP3 pool was not affected by the Ca2+ released by NAADP. The mechanism of potentiation of the cADPR-induced Ca2+ release, promoted by Ca2+ released from the NAADP pool, is mediated by the mechanism of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. These data raise the possibility that the NAADP Ca2+ store may have a role as a regulator of the cellular sensitivity to cADPR.

Abstract
In pancreatic acinar cells hormonal stimulation leads to a cytosolic Ca(2+) wave that starts in the apical cell pole and subsequently propagates toward the basal cell side. We used permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells from mouse and the mag-fura-2 technique, which allows direct monitoring of changes in [Ca(2+)] of intracellular stores. We show here that Ca(2+) can be released from stores in all cellular regions by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Stores at the apical cell pole showed a higher affinity to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (EC(50) = 89 nm) than those at the basolateral side (EC(50) = 256 nm). In contrast, cADP-ribose, a modifier of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release, and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) were able to release Ca(2+) exclusively from intracellular stores located at the basolateral cell side. Our data agree with observations that upon stimulation Ca(2+) is released initially at the apical cell side and that this is caused by high affinity inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Moreover, our findings allow the conclusion that in Ca(2+) wave propagation from the apical to the basolateral cell side observed in pancreatic acinar cells Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release, modulated by cADP-ribose and/or NAADP, might be involved.

Abstract
Recently, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) has been shown, using different techniques, to mobilize intracellular Ca2+ stores in invertebrate, lower vertebrate, plant and mammalian cells. This endogenous molecule might play an atypical role in Ca2+ signalling by coordinating the responses of other Ca2+-releasing messengers. Furthermore, radioligand binding experiments have provided an insight into how desensitization of the NAADP receptor might occur.

Abstract
In pancreatic acinar cells, low, threshold concentrations of acetylcholine (ACh) or cholecystokinin (CCK) induce repetitive local cytosolic Ca2+ spikes in the apical pole, while higher concentrations elicit global signals. We have investigated the process that transforms local Ca2+ spikes to global Ca2+ transients, focusing on the interactions of multiple intracellular messengers. ACh-elicited local Ca2+ spikes were transformed into a global sustained Ca2+ response by cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) or nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), whereas inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) had a much weaker effect. In contrast, the response elicited by a low CCK concentration was strongly potentiated by IP3, whereas cADPR and NAADP had little effect. Experiments with messenger mixtures revealed a local interaction between IP3 and NAADP and a stronger global potentiating interaction between cADPR and NAADP. NAADP strongly amplified the local Ca2+ release evoked by a cADPR/IP3 mixture eliciting a vigorous global Ca2+ response. Different combinations of Ca2+ releasing messengers can shape the spatio-temporal patterns of cytosolic Ca2+ signals. NAADP and cADPR are emerging as key messengers in the globalization of Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
In the present study, we have determined the role of the enzyme CD38 upon the synthesis of the Ca(2+)-releasing nucleotide nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). In rat tissues, we observed that the capacity for NAADP synthesis could be co-immunoprecipitated with CD38 using an anti-CD38 antibody. Furthermore, we observed that several tissues from CD38 knockout mice had no capacity for the synthesis of this nucleotide. In addition, CD38 was also identified as the major enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the second messenger cyclic ADP-ribose. These observations lead to the conclusion that CD38 is the major enzyme responsible for the synthesis of NAADP and cyclic ADP-ribose, and raises the possibility of a new signalling pathway where two different Ca(2+)-releasing nucleotides are synthesized by the same enzyme.

Abstract
An experiment performed in London nearly 120 years ago, which by today's standards would be considered unacceptably sloppy, marked the beginning of the calcium (Ca(2+)) signaling saga. Sidney Ringer [Ringer, S. (1883) J. Physiol. 4, 29-43] was studying the contraction of isolated rat hearts. In earlier experiments, Ringer had suspended them in a saline medium for which he admitted to having used London tap water, which is hard: The hearts contracted beautifully. When he proceeded to replace the tap water with distilled water, he made a startling finding: The beating of the hearts became progressively weaker, and stopped altogether after about 20 min. To maintain contraction, he found it necessary to add Ca(2+) salts to the suspension medium. Thus, Ringer had serendipitously discovered that Ca(2+), hitherto exclusively considered as a structural element, was active in a tissue that has nothing to do with bone or teeth, and performed there a completely novel function: It carried the signal that initiated heart contraction. It was a landmark observation, which should have immediately aroused wide interest. Unexpectedly, however, for decades it attracted no particular attention. Occasionally, farsighted pioneers argued forcefully for a messenger role of Ca(2+), offering compelling experimental evidence. Among them, one could quote L. V. Heilbrunn [Heilbrunn, L. V. (1940) Physiol. Zool. 13, 88-94], who contracted frog muscle fibers by applying Ca(2+) salts to their cut ends, but not to their surfaces. Heilbrunn correctly concluded that Ca(2+) had diffused from the cut ends to the internal contractile elements to elicit their contraction. One could also quote K. Bailey [Bailey, K. (1942) Biochem. J. 36, 121-139], who showed that the ATPase activity of myosin was strongly activated by Ca(2+) (but not by Mg(2+)), and concluded that the liberation of Ca(2+) in the neighborhood of the myosin controlled muscle contraction. Clearly, enough evidence was there, but only a handful of people had the vision to see it and to foresee its far-reaching implications. Perhaps no better example of clairvoyance can be offered than the quip by O. Loewy in 1959: "Ja Kalzium, das ist alles!"

Abstract
NADP is essential for biosynthetic pathways, energy, and signal transduction. Its synthesis is catalyzed by NAD kinase. Very little is known about the structure, function, and regulation of this enzyme from multicellular organisms. We identified a human NAD kinase cDNA and the corresponding gene using available database information. A cDNA was amplified from a human fibroblast cDNA library and functionally overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The obtained cDNA, slightly different from that deposited in the database, encodes a protein of 49 kDa. The gene is expressed in most human tissues, but not in skeletal muscle. Human NAD kinase differs considerably from that of prokaryotes by subunit molecular mass (49 kDa vs 30-35 kDa). The catalytically active homotetramer is highly selective for its substrates, NAD and ATP. It did not phosphorylate the nicotinic acid derivative of NAD (NAAD) suggesting that the potent calcium-mobilizing pyridine nucleotide NAADP is synthesized by an alternative route.

Abstract
We have explored the role of the recently discovered second messenger nicotinic acid adenine nucleotide phosphate (NAADP+) in Ca2+ swings that accompany the fertilization process in starfish oocytes. The injection of NAADP+ deep into the cytoplasm of oocytes matured by the hormone 1-methyladenine (1-MA), mobilized Ca2+ exclusively in the cortical layer, showing that the NAADP+-sensitive Ca2+ pool is restricted to the subplasma membrane region of the cell. At variance with this, InsP3 initiated the liberation of Ca2+ next to the point of injection in the center of the cell. The initial cortical Ca2+ liberation induced by NAADP+ was followed by a spreading of the Ca2+ wave to the remainder of the cell and by a massive cortical granule exocytosis similar to that routinely observed on injection of InsP3. A striking difference in the responses to NAADP+ and InsP3 was revealed by the removal of the nucleus from immature oocytes, i.e., from oocytes not treated with 1-MA. Whereas the Ca2+ response and the cortical granule exocytosis induced by NAADP+ were unaffected by the removal of the nucleus, the Ca2+ response promoted by InsP3 was significantly slowed. In addition, the cortical granule exocytosis was completely abolished. When enucleated oocytes were fertilized, the spermatozoon still promoted the Ca2+ wave and normal cortical exocytosis, strongly suggesting that the Ca2+ response was mediated by NAADP+ and not by InsP3. InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores may mediate the propagation of the wave initiated by NAADP+ since its spreading was strongly affected by removal of the nucleus.

Abstract
In order to control cell functions, hormones and neurotransmitters generate an amazing diversity of Ca2+ signals such as local and global Ca2+ elevations and also Ca2+ oscillations. In pancreatic acinar cells, cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates secretion of digestive enzyme and promotes cell growth, whereas acetylcholine (ACh) essentially triggers enzyme secretion. Pancreatic acinar cells are a classic model for the study of CCK- and ACh-evoked specific Ca2+ signals. In addition to inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3), recent studies have shown that cyclic ADPribose (cADPr) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) release Ca2+ in pancreatic acinar cells. Moreover, it has also been shown that both ACh and CCK trigger Ca2+ spikes by co-activation of IP3 and ryanodine receptors but by different means. ACh uses IP3 and Ca2+, whereas CCK uses cADPr and NAADP. In addition, CCK activates phospholipase A2 and D. The concept emerging from these studies is that agonist-specific Ca2+ signals in a single target cell are generated by combination of different intracellular messengers.

Abstract
In sea urchin eggs, Ca2+ mobilization by nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) potently self-inactivates but paradoxically induces long-term Ca2+ oscillations. We investigated whether NAADP-induced Ca2+ oscillations arise from the recruitment of other Ca2+ release pathways. NAADP, inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) all mobilized Ca2+ from internal stores but only NAADP consistently induced Ca2+ oscillations. NAADP-induced Ca2+ oscillations were partially inhibited by heparin or 8-amino-cADPR alone, but eliminated by the presence of both, indicating a requirement for both IP3- and cADPR-dependent Ca2+ release. Thapsigargin completely blocked IP3 and cADPR responses as well as NAADP-induced Ca2+ oscillations, but only reduced the NAADP-mediated Ca2+ transient. Following NAADP-mediated release from this Ca2+ pool, the amount of Ca2+ in the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release stores was increased. These results support a mechanism in which Ca2+ oscillations are initiated by Ca2+ release from NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ stores (pool 1) and perpetuated through cycles of Ca2+ uptake into and release from Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release stores (pool 2). These results provide the first direct evidence in support of a two-pool model for Ca2+ oscillations.

Abstract
Although numerous extracellular stimuli are coupled to increases in intracellular Ca(2+), different stimuli are thought to achieve specificity by eliciting different spatiotemporal Ca(2+) increases. We investigated the effect of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) inactivation on spatiotemporal Ca(2+) signals in intact sea urchin eggs. The photorelease of NAADP but not inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate or cyclic ADP-ribose resulted in self-inactivation. When NAADP was released first locally and subsequently globally, the spatial pattern of the first response shaped that of the second. Specifically, the local release of NAADP created a Ca(2+) gradient that was reversed during the subsequent global release of NAADP. Neither cyclic ADP-ribose nor inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate showed a similar effect. In contrast to homogenates, NAADP inactivation was reversible in intact eggs with resensitization occurring in approximately 20 min. Because initial NAADP responses affect later responses, NAADP can serve as a mechanism for a Ca(2+) memory that has both spatial and temporal components. This NAADP-mediated Ca(2+) memory provides a novel mechanism for cells to control spatiotemporal Ca(2+) increases.

Abstract
1. The purpose of this study was to compare oocytes from the pipid frogs Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis, with respect to their utility for studying Ca(2+) signalling mechanisms and for expression of heterologous proteins. 2. We show that X. tropicalis oocytes possess an intracellular Ca(2+) store that is mobilized by inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP(3)). Ca(2+) signalling is activated by endogenous lysophosphatidic acid receptors and cytosolic Ca(2+) activates a plasma membrane chloride conductance. The spatiotemporal organization of cytosolic Ca(2+) signals, from the microscopic architecture of elementary Ca(2+) 'puffs' to the macroscopic patterns of Ca(2+) spiking are closely similar to the local and global patterns of Ca(2+) release previously characterized in oocytes from X. laevis. 3. By injecting X. tropicalis oocytes with cDNA encoding an ER-targeted fluorescent protein construct, we demonstrate the capacity of the X. tropicalis oocyte to readily express heterologous proteins. The organization of ER is polarized across the oocyte, with the IP(3)-releaseable store targeted within an approximately 8 microm wide band that circumscribes the cell. 4. We conclude that the X. tropicalis oocyte shares many of the characteristics that have made oocytes of X. laevis a favoured system for studying Ca(2+) signalling mechanisms. Moreover, X. tropicalis oocytes display further practical advantages in terms of imaging depth, Ca(2+) signal magnitude and electrical properties. These further enhance the appeal of X. tropicalis as an experimental system, in addition to its greater amenability to transgenic approaches.

Abstract
We characterized the enzymic properties of ADP-ribosyl cyclase in rat parotid acinar cells by using a fluorescence technique. ADP-ribosyl cyclase is capable of synthesizing the Ca2+ -mobilizing nucleotide cADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD(+) and has previously been shown to be regulated by cGMP via a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G kinase). We therefore investigated whether NO/cGMP-activated pathways are present in rat parotid acinar cells and whether NO/cGMP signalling exerts control over cellular Ca2+ signalling processes. Our results showed that stimulation of acinar cells with adrenaline, isoproterenol, substance P and NO resulted in a rise in the [cGMP]. In addition, NO induced a release of Ca2+ from intracellular ryanodine-sensitive stores via a cGMP/G-kinase-mediated process. Thus our data reveal that a rise in [cGMP], caused by either neurotransmitter or NO activation, activates a G kinase, which in turn controls Ca2+ release from ryanodine-sensitive stores. Since parotid acinar cells possess ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, we propose a model in which cADPR is the link between NO/cGMP signalling pathways and release of Ca2+ from ryanodine-sensitive stores.

Abstract
Mouse melanocortin receptors, MC1-R, MC3-R, MC4-R, and MC5-R, when expressed in HEK293 cells and stimulated with either alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) or desacetyl-alpha-MSH, mediate increases in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) with EC(50) values between 0.3 and 4.3 nM. The increase in [Ca(2+)](i) is cholera toxin sensitive and pertussis toxin insensitive. The mechanism involves calcium mobilization from intracellular stores without a transient rise in inositol trisphosphate. Mouse agouti protein (55 nM) is a competitive antagonist of alpha-MSH (6-fold) and desacetyl-alpha-MSH (8-fold), coupling the mMC1-R to increased [Ca(2+)](i). Agouti protein (55 nM) significantly increased the EC(50) for alpha-MSH (3-fold), and 550 nM agouti protein significantly increased the EC(50) for desacetyl-alpha-MSH (4-fold), coupling the mMC4-R to a rise in [Ca(2+)](i). However, agouti protein antagonism of the MC4-R may not be competitive since there was a trend for the maximum response to also increase. There was no significant antagonism of the MC3-R and MC5-R by agouti protein (55 nM). Understanding the physiological relevance of the transduction of a calcium signal by melanocortin peptides may be important for future development of therapeutic targeting of the melanocortin receptors.

Abstract
Cytosolic calcium has long been known as a second messenger of major significance. Recently it has become apparent that calcium stored in cellular organelles can also be an important regulator of cellular functions. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is usually the largest store of releasable calcium in the cell. The diverse signalling functions of calcium populating the endoplasmic reticulum and its interactions with other organelles are illustrated in Figure ?? and described in this paper.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a molecule derived from beta-NADP, has been shown to promote intracellular calcium release in sea urchin eggs. However, there is little information regarding the role of NAADP in the regulation of intracellular calcium fluxes in mammalian cells. We found recently that several mammalian tissues have a high capacity for NAADP synthesis, as assessed by sea urchin egg bioassay. To determine the functional significance of NAADP production by mammalian tissues, we sought to determine whether NAADP is capable of inducing calcium release from microsomes prepared from cultured cells. We found that NAADP, but not beta-NADP, activates a specific microsomal calcium release system in mesangial cells isolated from rat kidney; NAADP was without effect in renal tubular epithelial cells. NAADP-induced calcium release is not affected by inhibitors of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate or ryanodine channels. However, NAADP-elicited calcium release was inhibited by L-type calcium channel blockers and by alkaline phosphatase treatment of NAADP. NAADP also promotes specific microsomal calcium release in rat vascular smooth muscle cells, cardiac myocytes, fibroblasts and a human leukaemia cell line, indicating that the capacity for NAADP-induced calcium release is widespread in mammalian cells. We propose that NAADP may be an important regulator of intracellular calcium in many mammalian tissues.

Abstract
cADP-ribose (cADPr) and nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) are two putative second messengers; they were first shown to stimulate Ca(2+) mobilization in sea urchin eggs. We have used the patch-clamp whole-cell technique to determine the role of cADPr and NAADP in relation to that of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) in mouse submandibular acinar cells by measuring agonist-evoked and second-messenger-evoked changes in Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) and Cl(-) currents. Both Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and cADPr were capable of reproducing the full range of responses normally seen in response to stimulation with acetylcholine (ACh). Low concentrations of agonist (10-20 nM ACh) or second messenger [1-10 microM Ins(1,4,5)P(3) or cADPr] elicited a sporadic transient activation of the Ca(2+)-dependent currents; mid-range concentrations [50-500 nM ACh, 50 microM Ins(1,4,5)P(3) or 50-100 microM cADPr] elicited high-frequency (approx. 2 Hz) trains of current spikes; and high concentrations [more than 500 nM ACh, more than 50 microM Ins(1,4,5)P(3) or more than 100 microM cADPr] gave rise to a sustained current response. The response to ACh was inhibited by antagonists of both the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R] and the ryanodine receptor (RyR) but could be completely blocked only by an Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R antagonist (heparin). NAADP (50 nM to 100 microM) did not itself activate the Ca(2+)-dependent ion currents, nor did it inhibit the activation of these currents by ACh. These results show that, in these cells, both Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R and RyR are involved in the propagation of the Ca(2+) signal stimulated by ACh and that cADPr can function as an endogenous regulator of RyR. Furthermore, although NAADP might have a role in hormone-stimulated secretion in pancreatic acinar cells, it does not contribute to ACh-evoked secretion in submandibular acinar cells.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a molecule derived from beta-NADP, has been shown to trigger Ca2+ release from intracellular stores of invertebrate eggs and mammalian cell microsomes. NAADP-induced Ca2+ release occurs through a mechanism distinct from that of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate- or cyclic ADP-ribose-elicited Ca2+ release. This study investigated whether NAADP can be synthesized in rat kidney. Extracts from glomeruli, mesangial cells, and papilla have high NAADP synthetic capacities. Conversely, synthesis of NAADP in kidney cortex was almost undetectable. Furthermore, 9-cis-retinoic acid significantly up-regulated NAADP synthesis in mesangial cells. Authenticity of NAADP biosynthesis in glomeruli was affirmed by HPLC analysis. NAADP stimulated Ca2+ release from mesangial cell microsomes through a pathway distinct from that of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate or cyclic ADP-ribose. NAADP-triggered Ca2+ release may play an important role in regulation of renal function.

Abstract
The elevation of the cytosolic and nuclear Ca(2+) concentration is a fundamental signal transduction mechanism in almost all eukaryotic cells. Interestingly, three Ca(2+)-mobilising second messengers, D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)), cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR), and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP(+)) were identified in a phylogenetically wide range of different organisms. Moreover, in an as yet very limited number of cell types, sea urchin eggs, mouse pancreatic acinar cells, and human Jurkat T-lymphocytes, all three Ca(2+)-mobilising ligands have been shown to be involved in the generation of Ca(2+) signals. This situation raises the question why during evolution all three messengers have been conserved in the same cell type. From a theoretical point of view the following points may be considered: (i) redundant mechanisms ensuring intact Ca(2+) signalling even if one system does not work, (ii) the need for subcellularly localised Ca(2+) elevations to obtain a certain physiological response of the cell, and (iii) tight control of a physiological response of the cell by a temporal sequence of Ca(2+) signalling events. These theoretical considerations are compared to the current knowledge regarding the three messengers in sea urchin eggs, mouse pancreatic acinar cells, and human Jurkat T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca(2+) is able to control numerous cellular responses through complex spatiotemporal organization. Ca(2+) waves mediated by inositol trisphosphate or ryanodine receptors propagate by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release and therefore do not have an absolute requirement for a gradient in either inositol trisphosphate or cyclic ADP-ribose, respectively. In contrast, we report that although Ca(2+) increases induced by nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) are amplified by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release locally, Ca(2+) waves mediated by NAADP have an absolute requirement for an NAADP gradient. If NAADP is increased such that its concentration is spatially uniform in one region of an egg, the Ca(2+) increase occurs simultaneously throughout this area, and only where there is diffusion out of this area to establish an NAADP gradient is there a Ca(2+) wave. A local increase in NAADP results in a Ca(2+) increase that spreads by NAADP diffusion. NAADP diffusion is restricted at low but not high concentrations of NAADP, indicating that NAADP diffusion is strongly influenced by binding to immobile and saturable sites, probably the NAADP receptor itself. Thus, the range of action of NAADP can be tuned by its concentration from that of a local messenger, like Ca(2+), to that of a global messenger, like IP(3) or cyclic ADP-ribose.

Abstract
The universality of calcium as an intracellular messenger depends on its enormous versatility. Cells have a calcium signalling toolkit with many components that can be mixed and matched to create a wide range of spatial and temporal signals. This versatility is exploited to control processes as diverse as fertilization, proliferation, development, learning and memory, contraction and secretion, and must be accomplished within the context of calcium being highly toxic. Exceeding its normal spatial and temporal boundaries can result in cell death through both necrosis and apoptosis.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP(+)) is a pyridine nucleotide which has been shown to release Ca(2+) from intracellular membranes in echinoderms, Ascidiae, mammals, and plants. NAADP releases Ca(2+) via a mechanism independent of ryanodine and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors and the NAADP(+) receptor is likely to be located on a separate organelle. We have investigated the binding characteristics of NAADP(+) to its receptor in sea urchin egg homogenates. NAADP(+) binds to a saturable membrane-bound site with high affinity (K(d) = 193 +/- 35. 7 pM). NAADP(+) associates to its receptor with a t(1/2) of approximately 7 min while dissociation does not occur during the time course of the experiment. Furthermore, NAD(+), NAAD(+), ADP, or ATP cannot displace NAADP(+) binding. The structurally related molecules NADP(+) and NADPH displayed a markedly lower affinity for the binding site with K(d)'s 500- and 25,000-fold higher than NAADP(+), respectively. This discrepancy between oxidized and reduced forms of NADP(+) might suggest that NAADP(+) signaling is itself regulated by the redox state of the cell.

Abstract
Higher plants share with animals a responsiveness to the Ca(2+) mobilizing agents inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). In this study, by using a vesicular (45)Ca(2+) flux assay, we demonstrate that microsomal vesicles from red beet and cauliflower also respond to nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a Ca(2+)-releasing molecule recently described in marine invertebrates. NAADP potently mobilizes Ca(2+) with a K(1/2) = 96 nM from microsomes of nonvacuolar origin in red beet. Analysis of sucrose gradient-separated cauliflower microsomes revealed that the NAADP-sensitive Ca(2+) pool was derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. This exclusively nonvacuolar location of the NAADP-sensitive Ca(2+) pathway distinguishes it from the InsP(3)- and cADPR-gated pathways. Desensitization experiments revealed that homogenates derived from cauliflower tissue contained low levels of NAADP (125 pmol/mg) and were competent in NAADP synthesis when provided with the substrates NADP and nicotinic acid. NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release is insensitive to heparin and 8-NH(2)-cADPR, specific inhibitors of the InsP(3)- and cADPR-controlled mechanisms, respectively. However, NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release could be blocked by pretreatment with a subthreshold dose of NAADP, as previously observed in sea urchin eggs. Furthermore, the NAADP-gated Ca(2+) release pathway is independent of cytosolic free Ca(2+) and therefore incapable of operating Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release. In contrast to the sea urchin system, the NAADP-gated Ca(2+) release pathway in plants is not blocked by L-type channel antagonists. The existence of multiple Ca(2+) mobilization pathways and Ca(2+) release sites might contribute to the generation of stimulus-specific Ca(2+) signals in plant cells.
