Abstract
The endomembrane system consists of organellar membranes in the biosynthetic pathway [endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and secretory vesicles] as well as those in the degradative pathway (early endosomes, macropinosomes, phagosomes, autophagosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes). These endomembrane organelles/vesicles work together to synthesize, modify, package, transport, and degrade proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, regulating the balance between cellular anabolism and catabolism. Large ion concentration gradients exist across endomembranes: Ca2+ gradients for most endomembrane organelles and H+ gradients for the acidic compartments. Ion (Na+, K+, H+, Ca2+, and Cl-) channels on the organellar membranes control ion flux in response to cellular cues, allowing rapid informational exchange between the cytosol and organelle lumen. Recent advances in organelle proteomics, organellar electrophysiology, and luminal and juxtaorganellar ion imaging have led to molecular identification and functional characterization of about two dozen endomembrane ion channels. For example, whereas IP3R1-3 channels mediate Ca2+ release from the ER in response to neurotransmitter and hormone stimulation, TRPML1-3 and TMEM175 channels mediate lysosomal Ca2+ and H+ release, respectively, in response to nutritional and trafficking cues. This review aims to summarize the current understanding of these endomembrane channels, with a focus on their subcellular localizations, ion permeation properties, gating mechanisms, cell biological functions, and disease relevance.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2024; 326:C795-C809. [PMID: 38223925 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00440.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Mitsugumin 23 (MG23) has been identified as a ball-shaped cation channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) but its physiological role remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the contribution of MG23 to Ca2+ storage function in skeletal muscle by using Mg23-knockout (Mg23-/-) mice. There was no difference in the isometric specific force of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles between Mg23-/- and wild-type (Wt) mice. In Mg23-/- mice, the calsequestrin 2 content in the EDL muscle and SR Ca2+-ATPase 2 content in the SOL were increased. We have examined SR and myofibril functions using mechanically skinned fibers and determined their fiber types based on the response to Sr2+, which showed that Mg23-/- mice, compared with Wt, had: 1) elevated total Ca2+ content in the membranous components including SR, mitochondria, and transverse tubular system referred to as endogenous Ca2+ content, in both type I and II fibers of the EDL and SOL; 2) increased maximal Ca2+ content in both type I and II fibers of the EDL and SOL; 3) decreased SR Ca2+ leakage in type I fibers of the SOL; and 4) enhanced SR Ca2+ uptake in type I fibers of the SOL, although myofibril function was not different in both type I and II fibers of the SOL and EDL muscles. These results suggest that MG23 decreases SR Ca2+ storage in both type I and type II fibers, likely due to increased SR Ca2+ leakage.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The function of calcium storage within sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays a pivotal role in influencing the health and disease states of skeletal muscle. In the present study, we demonstrated that mitsgumin 23, a novel non-selective cation channel, modifies SR Ca2+ storage in skeletal muscle fibers. These findings provide valuable insights into the physiological regulation of Ca2+ in skeletal muscle, offering significant potential for uncovering the mechanisms underlying muscle fatigue, muscle adaptation, and muscle diseases.

Abstract
Intracellular signaling orchestrates an organism's development and functioning and underlies various pathologies, such as cancer, when aberrant. A universal cell signaling characteristic is channel capacity - the measure of how much information a given transmitting system can reliably transduce. Here, we describe improved approaches to quantify GPCR signaling channel capacity in single cells, averaged across cell population. We assess the channel capacity based on distribution of residuals by the cellular response amplitude. We further develop means to handle irregularly responding cancer cells using the integral values of their response to different agonist concentrations. These approaches enabled us to analyze, for the first time, channel capacity in single cancer cells. A universal feature emerging for different cancer cell types is a decreased channel capacity of their GPCR signaling. These findings provide experimental validation to the hypothesis that cancer is an information disease, bearing importance for basic cancer biology and anticancer drug discovery.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that Zn2+ acts as a second messenger capable of transducing extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling events. The importance of Zn2+ as a signaling molecule in cardiovascular functioning is gaining traction. In the heart, Zn2+ plays important roles in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, excitation-transcription coupling, and cardiac ventricular morphogenesis. Zn2+ homeostasis in cardiac tissue is tightly regulated through the action of a combination of transporters, buffers, and sensors. Zn2+ mishandling is a common feature of various cardiovascular diseases. However, the precise mechanisms controlling the intracellular distribution of Zn2+ and its variations during normal cardiac function and during pathological conditions are not fully understood. In this review, we consider the major pathways by which the concentration of intracellular Zn2+ is regulated in the heart, the role of Zn2+ in EC coupling, and discuss how Zn2+ dyshomeostasis resulting from altered expression levels and efficacy of Zn2+ regulatory proteins are key drivers in the progression of cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Importing proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is essential for about 30% of the human proteome. It involves the targeting of precursor proteins to the ER and their insertion into or translocation across the ER membrane. Furthermore, it relies on signals in the precursor polypeptides and components, which read the signals and facilitate their targeting to a protein-conducting channel in the ER membrane, the Sec61 complex. Compared to the SRP- and TRC-dependent pathways, little is known about the SRP-independent/SND pathway. Our aim was to identify additional components and characterize the client spectrum of the human SND pathway. The established strategy of combining the depletion of the central hSnd2 component from HeLa cells with proteomic and differential protein abundance analysis was used. The SRP and TRC targeting pathways were analyzed in comparison. TMEM109 was characterized as hSnd3. Unlike SRP but similar to TRC, the SND clients are predominantly membrane proteins with N-terminal, central, or C-terminal targeting signals.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2021; 1868:119020. [PMID: 33798602 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2021.119020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Inside cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms the largest Ca2+ store. Ca2+ is actively pumped by the SERCA pumps in the ER, where intraluminal Ca2+-binding proteins enable the accumulation of large amount of Ca2+. IP3 receptors and the ryanodine receptors mediate the release of Ca2+ in a controlled way, thereby evoking complex spatio-temporal signals in the cell. The steady state Ca2+ concentration in the ER of about 500 μM results from the balance between SERCA-mediated Ca2+ uptake and the passive leakage of Ca2+. The passive Ca2+ leak from the ER is often ignored, but can play an important physiological role, depending on the cellular context. Moreover, excessive Ca2+ leakage significantly lowers the amount of Ca2+ stored in the ER compared to normal conditions, thereby limiting the possibility to evoke Ca2+ signals and/or causing ER stress, leading to pathological consequences. The so-called Ca2+-leak channels responsible for Ca2+ leakage from the ER are however still not well understood, despite over 20 different proteins have been proposed to contribute to it. This review has the aim to critically evaluate the available evidence about the various channels potentially involved and to draw conclusions about their relative importance.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Ca2+ Transport Systems During the Formation of the Cerebral Cortex in Mice. Cells 2020; 9:cells9081800.

Abstract
Cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) transients control key neural processes, including neurogenesis, migration, the polarization and growth of neurons, and the establishment and maintenance of synaptic connections. They are thus involved in the development and formation of the neural system. In this study, a publicly available whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) dataset was used to examine the expression of genes coding for putative plasma membrane and organellar Ca2+-transporting proteins (channels, pumps, exchangers, and transporters) during the formation of the cerebral cortex in mice. Four ages were considered: embryonic days 11 (E11), 13 (E13), and 17 (E17), and post-natal day 1 (PN1). This transcriptomic profiling was also combined with live-cell Ca2+ imaging recordings to assess the presence of functional Ca2+ transport systems in E13 neurons. The most important Ca2+ routes of the cortical wall at the onset of corticogenesis (E11–E13) were TACAN, GluK5, nAChR β2, Cav3.1, Orai3, transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7 (TRPM7) non-mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 2 (NCX2), and the connexins CX43/CX45/CX37. Hence, transient receptor potential cation channel mucolipin subfamily member 1 (TRPML1), transmembrane protein 165 (TMEM165), and Ca2+ “leak” channels are prominent intracellular Ca2+ pathways. The Ca2+ pumps sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2 (SERCA2) and plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase 1 (PMCA1) control the resting basal Ca2+ levels. At the end of neurogenesis (E17 and onward), a more numerous and diverse population of Ca2+ uptake systems was observed. In addition to the actors listed above, prominent Ca2+-conducting systems of the cortical wall emerged, including acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1), Orai2, P2X2, and GluN1. Altogether, this study provides a detailed view of the pattern of expression of the main actors participating in the import, export, and release of Ca2+. This work can serve as a framework for further functional and mechanistic studies on Ca2+ signaling during cerebral cortex formation.

Abstract
The protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is tightly regulated by a network of signaling pathways, known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR sensors monitor the ER folding status to adjust ER folding capacity according to need. To understand how the UPR sensor IRE1 maintains ER homeostasis, we identified zero-length crosslinks of RNA to IRE1 with single nucleotide precision in vivo. We found that IRE1 specifically crosslinks to a subset of ER-targeted mRNAs, SRP RNA, ribosomal and transfer RNAs. Crosslink sites cluster in a discrete region of the ribosome surface spanning from the A-site to the polypeptide exit tunnel. Moreover, IRE1 binds to purified 80S ribosomes with high affinity, indicating association with ER-bound ribosomes. Our results suggest that the ER protein translocation and targeting machineries work together with the UPR to tune the ER’s protein folding load.

Abstract
Aberrant Zn2+ homeostasis is associated with dysregulated intracellular Ca2+ release, resulting in chronic heart failure. In the failing heart a small population of cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2) displays sub-conductance-state gating leading to Ca2+ leakage from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) stores, which impairs cardiac contractility. Previous evidence suggests contribution of RyR2-independent Ca2+ leakage through an uncharacterized mechanism. We sought to examine the role of Zn2+ in shaping intracellular Ca2+ release in cardiac muscle. Cardiac SR vesicles prepared from sheep or mouse ventricular tissue were incorporated into phospholipid bilayers under voltage-clamp conditions, and the direct action of Zn2+ on RyR2 channel function was examined. Under diastolic conditions, the addition of pathophysiological concentrations of Zn2+ (≥2 nm) caused dysregulated RyR2-channel openings. Our data also revealed that RyR2 channels are not the only SR Ca2+-permeable channels regulated by Zn2+. Elevating the cytosolic Zn2+ concentration to 1 nm increased the activity of the transmembrane protein mitsugumin 23 (MG23). The current amplitude of the MG23 full-open state was consistent with that previously reported for RyR2 sub-conductance gating, suggesting that in heart failure in which Zn2+ levels are elevated, RyR2 channels do not gate in a sub-conductance state, but rather MG23-gating becomes more apparent. We also show that in H9C2 cells exposed to ischemic conditions, intracellular Zn2+ levels are elevated, coinciding with increased MG23 expression. In conclusion, these data suggest that dysregulated Zn2+ homeostasis alters the function of both RyR2 and MG23 and that both ion channels play a key role in diastolic SR Ca2+ leakage.

Abstract
Trimeric intracellular cation (TRIC) channel subtypes, namely TRIC-A and TRIC-B, are expressed in the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope, and likely function as monovalent cation channels in various cell types. Our studies using knockout mice so far suggest that TRIC subtypes support Ca2+ release from intracellular stores by mediating counter-cationic fluxes. Several genetic mutations within the TRIC-B locus were recently identified in autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients. However, the molecular mechanism by which the mutations cause human disease is not fully addressed. We found that Tric-b-knockout mice exhibit poor bone ossification and thus serve as an OI-model animal. Studies on Tric-b-knockout bones and cultured cell lines derived from the patients currently reveal the main part of the pathophysiological mechanism involved in the TRIC-B-mutated OI form. This mini-review focuses on the essential role of TRIC-B channels in bone ossification.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca(2+) release through ryanodine receptor (RyR) and inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3 R) channels is supported by a complex network of additional proteins that are located in or near the Ca(2+) release sites. In this review, we focus, not on RyR/IP3 R, but on other ion-channels that are known to be present in the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) membranes. We review their putative physiological roles and the evidence suggesting that they may support the process of intracellular Ca(2+) release, either indirectly by manipulating ionic fluxes across the ER/SR membrane or by directly interacting with a Ca(2+) -release channel. These channels rarely receive scientific attention because of the general lack of information regarding their biochemical and/or electrophysiological characteristics makes it difficult to predict their physiological roles and their impact on SR Ca(2+) fluxes. We discuss the possible role of SR K(+) channels and, in parallel, detail the known biochemical and biophysical properties of the trimeric intracellular cation (TRIC) proteins and their possible biological and pathophysiological roles in ER/SR Ca(2+) release. We summarise what is known regarding Cl(-) channels in the ER/SR and the non-selective cation channels or putative 'Ca(2+) leak channels', including mitsugumin23 (MG23), pannexins, presenilins and the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that are distributed across ER/SR membranes but which have not yet been fully characterised functionally.

Abstract
In recent years, our view of the nucleus has changed considerably with an increased awareness of the roles dynamic higher order chromatin structure and nuclear organization play in nuclear function. More recently, proteomics approaches have identified differential expression of nuclear lamina and nuclear envelope transmembrane (NET) proteins. Many NETs have been implicated in a range of developmental disorders as well as cell-type specific biological processes, including genome organization and nuclear morphology. While further studies are needed, it is clear that the differential nuclear envelope proteome contributes to cell-type specific nuclear identity and functions. This review discusses the importance of proteome diversity at the nuclear periphery and highlights the putative roles of NET proteins, with a focus on nuclear architecture.

Abstract
Mechanosensing in plants is thought to be governed by sensory complexes containing a Ca²⁺-permeable, mechanosensitive channel. The plasma membrane protein MCA1 and its paralog MCA2 from Arabidopsis thaliana are involved in mechanical stress-induced Ca²⁺ influx and are thus considered as candidates for such channels or their regulators. Both MCA1 and MCA2 were functionally expressed in Sf9 cells using a baculovirus system in order to elucidate their molecular natures. Because of the abundance of protein in these cells, MCA2 was chosen for purification. Purified MCA2 in a detergent-solubilized state formed a tetramer, which was confirmed by chemical cross-linking. Single-particle analysis of cryo-electron microscope images was performed to depict the overall shape of the purified protein. The three-dimensional structure of MCA2 was reconstructed at a resolution of 26 Å from 5,500 particles and appears to comprise a small transmembrane region and large cytoplasmic region.

Abstract
The Ca(2+) signals that control almost every cellular activity are generated by regulating Ca(2+) transport, usually via Ca(2+)-permeable channels, across the plasma membrane or the membranes of intracellular organelles. The most widespread and best understood of the intracellular Ca(2+) channels are inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) and ryanodine receptors, most of which are expressed in the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum. However, accumulating evidence suggests physiological roles for many additional Ca(2+) channels in both ER and other intracellular organelles. Interactions between these channels, whether mediated by Ca(2+) itself or interactions between proteins, is a recurrent feature of the Ca(2+) signals evoked by physiological stimuli. We focus on two specific examples, clustering of IP(3)Rs and NAADP (nicotinic acid dinucleotide phosphate)-evoked Ca(2+) release from endo-lysosomes, to illustrate the diversity of Ca(2+) channels and the interplay between them.
