Overexpression of tonoplast Ca 2+-ATPase in guard cells synergistically enhances stomatal opening and drought tolerance. JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE PLANT BIOLOGY 2024. [PMID: 38923303 DOI: 10.1111/jipb.13721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Stomata play a crucial role in plants by controlling water status and responding to drought stress. However, simultaneously improving stomatal opening and drought tolerance has proven to be a significant challenge. To address this issue, we employed the OnGuard quantitative model, which accurately represents the mechanics and coordination of ion transporters in guard cells. With the guidance of OnGuard, we successfully engineered plants that overexpressed the main tonoplast Ca2+-ATPase gene, ACA11, which promotes stomatal opening and enhances plant growth. Surprisingly, these transgenic plants also exhibited improved drought tolerance due to reduced water loss through their stomata. Again, OnGuard assisted us in understanding the mechanism behind the unexpected stomatal behaviors observed in the ACA11 overexpressing plants. Our study revealed that the overexpression of ACA11 facilitated the accumulation of Ca2+ in the vacuole, thereby influencing Ca2+ storage and leading to an enhanced Ca2+ elevation in response to abscisic acid. This regulatory cascade finely tunes stomatal responses, ultimately leading to enhanced drought tolerance. Our findings underscore the importance of tonoplast Ca2+-ATPase in manipulating stomatal behavior and improving drought tolerance. Furthermore, these results highlight the diverse functions of tonoplast-localized ACA11 in response to different conditions, emphasizing its potential for future applications in plant enhancement.

Abstract
Concentrations of the secondary bile acid, deoxycholic acid (DCA), are aberrantly elevated in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but the consequences remain poorly understood. Here, we screened a library of gut microbiota-derived metabolites and identified DCA as a negative regulator for CD8+ T cell effector function. Mechanistically, DCA suppressed CD8+ T cell responses by targeting plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) to inhibit Ca2+-nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)2 signaling. In CRC patients, CD8+ T cell effector function negatively correlated with both DCA concentration and expression of a bacterial DCA biosynthetic gene. Bacteria harboring DCA biosynthetic genes suppressed CD8+ T cells effector function and promoted tumor growth in mice. This effect was abolished by disrupting bile acid metabolism via bile acid chelation, genetic ablation of bacterial DCA biosynthetic pathway, or specific bacteriophage. Our study demonstrated causation between microbial DCA metabolism and anti-tumor CD8+ T cell response in CRC, suggesting potential directions for anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
With the appearance of plants and animals, new challenges emerged. These multicellular eukaryotes had to solve for example the difficulties of multifaceted communication between cells and adaptation to new habitats. In this paper, we are looking for one piece of the puzzle that made the development of complex multicellular eukaryotes possible with a focus on regulation of P2B autoinhibited Ca2+-ATPases. P2B ATPases pump Ca2+ out of the cytosol at the expense of ATP hydrolysis, and thereby maintain a steep gradient between the extra- and intracytosolic compartments which is utilized for Ca2+-mediated rapid cell signaling. The activity of these enzymes is regulated by a calmodulin (CaM)-responsive autoinhibitory region, which can be located in either termini of the protein, at the C-terminus in animals and at the N-terminus in plants. When the cytoplasmic Ca2+ level reaches a threshold, the CaM/Ca2+ complex binds to a calmodulin-binding domain (CaMBD) in the autoinhibitor, which leads to the upregulation of pump activity. In animals, protein activity is also controlled by acidic phospholipids that bind to a cytosolic portion of the pump. Here, we analyze the appearance of CaMBDs and the phospholipid-activating sequence and show that their evolution in animals and plants was independent. Furthermore, we hypothesize that different causes may have initiated the appearance of these regulatory layers: in animals, it is linked to the appearance of multicellularity, while in plants it co-occurs with their water-to-land transition.

Abstract
Ca2+ plays a crucial role in cell signaling, cytosolic Ca2+ can change up to 10,000-fold in concentration due to the action of Ca2+-ATPases, including PMCA, SERCA and SCR. The regulation and balance of these enzymes are essential to maintain cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis. Our laboratory has discovered a novel PMCA regulatory system, involving acetylated tubulin alone or in combination with membrane lipids. This regulation controls cytosolic Ca2+ levels and influences cellular properties such as erythrocyte rheology. This review summarizes the findings on the regulatory mechanism of PMCA activity by acetylated tubulin in combination with lipids. The combination of tubulin cytoskeleton and membrane lipids suggests a novel regulatory system for PMCA, which consequently affects cytosolic Ca2+ content, depending on cytoskeletal and plasma membrane dynamics. Understanding the interaction between acetylated tubulin, lipids and PMCA activity provides new insights into Ca2+ signaling and cell function. Further research may shed light on potential therapeutic targets for diseases related to Ca2+ dysregulation. This discovery contributes to a broader understanding of cellular processes and offers opportunities to develop innovative approaches to treat Ca2+-related disorders. By elucidating the complex regulatory mechanisms of Ca2+ homeostasis, we advance our understanding of cell biology and its implications for human health.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is known to be an important regulator of neurological processes in the central nervous system which acts directly on the presynaptic neuron and enhances the release of neurotransmitters like glutamate into the synaptic cleft. Calcium influx activates a cascade of biochemical reactions to influence the production of nitric oxide in the postsynaptic neuron. This has been modeled in the present work as a system of ordinary differential equations, to explore the dynamics of the interacting components and predict the dynamical behavior of the postsynaptic neuron. It has been hypothesized that nitric oxide modulates the NMDA receptor via a feedback mechanism and regulates the dynamic behavior of postsynaptic components. Results obtained by numerical analyses indicate that the biochemical system is stimulus-dependent and shows oscillations of calcium and other components within a limited range of concentration. Some of the parameters such as stimulus strength, extracellular calcium concentration, and rate of nitric oxide feedback are crucial for the dynamics of the components in the postsynaptic neuron.

Abstract
Alpha-synuclein (aSN) is a membrane-associated and intrinsically disordered protein, well known for pathological aggregation in neurodegeneration. However, the physiological function of aSN is disputed. Pull-down experiments have pointed to plasma membrane Ca2+ -ATPase (PMCA) as a potential interaction partner. From proximity ligation assays, we find that aSN and PMCA colocalize at neuronal synapses, and we show that calcium expulsion is activated by aSN and PMCA. We further show that soluble, monomeric aSN activates PMCA at par with calmodulin, but independent of the autoinhibitory domain of PMCA, and highly dependent on acidic phospholipids and membrane-anchoring properties of aSN. On PMCA, the key site is mapped to the acidic lipid-binding site, located within a disordered PMCA-specific loop connecting the cytosolic A domain and transmembrane segment 3. Our studies point toward a novel physiological role of monomeric aSN as a stimulator of calcium clearance in neurons through activation of PMCA.

Abstract
P-type ATPases constitute a large ancient super-family of primary active pumps that have diverse substrate specificities ranging from H+ to phospholipids. The significance of these enzymes in biology cannot be overstated. They are structurally related, and their catalytic cycles alternate between high- and low-affinity conformations that are induced by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of a conserved aspartate residue. In the year 1988, all P-type sequences available by then were analyzed and five major families, P1 to P5, were identified. Since then, a large body of knowledge has accumulated concerning the structure, function, and physiological roles of members of these families, but only one additional family, P6 ATPases, has been identified. However, much is still left to be learned. For each family a few remaining enigmas are presented, with the intention that they will stimulate interest in continued research in the field. The review is by no way comprehensive and merely presents personal views with a focus on evolution.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+)-ATPases are ATP-dependent enzymes that transport Ca2+ ions against their electrochemical gradient playing the fundamental biological function of keeping the free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in the submicromolar range to prevent cytotoxic effects. In plants, type IIB autoinhibited Ca2+-ATPases (ACAs) are localised both at the plasma membrane and at the endomembranes including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and tonoplast and their activity is primarily regulated by Ca2+-dependent mechanisms. Instead, type IIA ER-type Ca2+-ATPases (ECAs) are present mainly at the ER and Golgi Apparatus membranes and are active at resting Ca2+. Whereas research in plants has historically focused on the biochemical characterization of these pumps, more recently the attention has been also addressed on the physiological roles played by the different isoforms. This review aims to highlight the main biochemical properties of both type IIB and type IIA Ca2+ pumps and their involvement in the shaping of cellular Ca2+ dynamics induced by different stimuli.

Intracellular calcium sensor protein calmodulin (CaM) belongs to the large EF-hand protein superfamily. CaM shows a unique and not fully understood ability to bind to multiple targets, allows them to participate in a variety of regulatory processes. The protein has two approximately symmetrical globular domains (the N- and C-lobes). Analysis of the CaM-binding sites of target proteins showed that they have two hydrophobic 'anchor' amino acids separated by 10 to 17 residues. Consequently, several CaM-binding motifs: {1-10}, {1-11}, {1-13}, {1-14}, {1-16}, {1-17}, differing by the distance between the two anchor residues along the amino acid sequence, have been identified. Despite extensive structural information on the role of target-protein amino acid residues in the formation of complexes with CaM, much less is known about the role of amino acids from CaM contributing to these interactions. In this work, a quantitative analysis of the contact surfaces of CaM and target proteins has been carried out for 35 representative three-dimensional structures. It has been shown that, in addition to the two hydrophobic terminal residues of the target fragment, the interaction also involves residues that are 4 residues earlier in the sequence (binding mode {1-5}). It has also been found that the N- and C-lobes of CaM bind the {1-5} motif located at the ends of the target in a structurally identical manner. Methionine residues at positions 51 (corresponding to 124 in the C-lobe), 71 (144), and 72 (145) of the CaM amino acid sequence are key hydrophobic residues for this interaction. They are located at the N- and C-boundaries of the even EF-hand motifs. The hydrophobic core of CaM ('Ф-quatrefoil') consists of 10 amino acids in the N-lobe (and in the C-lobe): Phe16 (Phe89), Phe19 (Phe92), Ile27 (Ile100), Thr29 (Ala102), Leu32 (Leu105), Ile52 (Ile125), Val55 (Ala128), Ile63 (Val136), Phe65 (Tyr138), and Phe68 (Phe141) and do not intersect with the target-binding methionine residues. CaM belongs to the 'dynamic' group of EF-hand proteins, in which calcium and protein ligand binding causes only global conformational changes but does not alter the conservative 'black' and 'grey' clusters described in our earlier works (PLoS One. 2014; 9(10):e109287). The membership of CaM in the 'dynamic' group is determined by the triggering and protective methionine layer: Met51 (Met124), Met71 (Met144) and Met72 (Met145). HIGHLIGHTSInterchain interactions in the unique 35 CaM complex structures were analyzed.Methionine amino acids of the N- and C-lobes of CaM form triggering and protective layers.Interactions of the target terminal residues with these methionine layers are structurally identical.CaM belonging to the 'dynamic' group is determined by the triggering and protective methionine layer.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Calcium ion transporting systems control cytosol Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]cyt) and generate transient calcium (Ca2+) signatures that are key to environmental responses. Here, we report an impact of resting [Ca2+]cyt on plants from the functional study of calmodulin-regulated Ca2+ pumps or Ca2+-ATPases in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The plasma membrane-localized pumps ACA8 (autoinhibited Ca2+-ATPase) and ACA10, as well as the vacuole-localized pumps ACA4 and ACA11, were critical in maintaining low resting [Ca2+]cyt and essential for plant survival under chilling and heat-stress conditions. Their loss-of-function mutants aca8 aca10 and aca4 aca11 had autoimmunity at normal temperatures, and this deregulated immune activation was enhanced by low temperature, leading to chilling lethality. Furthermore, these mutants showed an elevated resting [Ca2+]cyt, and a reduction of external Ca2+ lowered [Ca2+]cyt and repressed their autoimmunity and cold susceptibility. The aca8 aca10 and the aca4 aca11 mutants were also susceptible to heat, likely resulting from more closed stomata and higher leaf surface temperature than the wild type. These observations support a model in which the regulation of resting [Ca2+]cyt is critical to how plants regulate biotic and abiotic responses.

Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is a Ca2+ sensor protein found in all eukaryotic cells that regulates a large number of target proteins in a Ca2+ concentration-dependent manner. As a transient type hub protein, it recognizes linear motifs of its targets, though for the Ca2+-dependent binding no consensus sequence was identified. Its complex with melittin, a major component of bee venom, is often used as a model system of protein - protein complexes. Yet, the structural aspects of the binding are not well understood, as only diverse, low-resolution data are available concerning the association. We present the crystal structure of melittin in complex with Ca2+-saturated calmodulins from two, evolutionarily distant species, Homo sapiens and Plasmodium falciparum representing three binding modes of the peptide. Results - augmented by molecular dynamics simulations - indicate that multiple binding modes can exist for CaM-melittin complexes, as an intrinsic characteristic of the binding. While the helical structure of melittin remains, swapping of its salt bridges and partial unfolding of its C-terminal segment can occur. In contrast to the classical way of target recognition by CaM, we found that different sets of residues can anchor at the hydrophobic pockets of CaM, which were considered as main recognition sites. Finally, the nanomolar binding affinity of the CaM-melittin complex is created by an ensemble of arrangements of similar stability - tight binding is achieved not by optimized specific interactions but by simultaneously satisfying less optimal interaction patterns in co-existing different conformers.

Abstract
Key to small-angle scattering (SAS) maturing and becoming a mainstream structural biology technique was the work done by the SAS community to establish standards for data quality, model validation and data sharing. Through a consultative process spanning more than a decade and a half, guidelines for publication have been established that include criteria for evaluating data quality and for model validation. In this process gaps were identified that stimulated innovation and development of new tools, for example new measures of model ambiguity and of the goodness-of-fit of a model to SAS data that complement the traditional global fit parameter χ2. The need for a global repository for biomolecular SAS data and models was identified and the SASBDB was established as a searchable, curated, freely accessible, downloadable database of experimental data, experimental conditions, sample details, derived models, and their fit to the data. Importantly, the SASBDB uses a common dictionary format that supports archiving of structures solved using integrative methods to support seamless data exchange with a federated system of public databanks that includes the world-wide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) as the major repository for structural biology. Thus, biomolecular SAS is now well-positioned to achieve its full potential as a mainstream structural biology technique contributing at the frontier of integrative structural biology and meeting "best practice" standards for data quality assurance and data sharing.

Abstract
The plasma membrane and autoinhibited Ca2+-ATPases contribute to the Ca2+ homeostasis in a wide variety of organisms. The enzymatic activity of these pumps is stimulated by calmodulin, which interacts with the target protein through the calmodulin-binding domain (CaMBD). Most information about this region is related to all calmodulin modulated proteins, which indicates general chemical properties and there is no established relation between Ca2+ pump sequences and taxonomic classification. Thus, the aim of this study was to perform an in silico analysis of the CaMBD from several Ca2+-ATPases, in order to determine their diversity and to detect specific patterns and amino acid selection in different species. Patterns related to potential and confirmed CaMBD were detected using sequences retrieved from the literature. The occurrence of these patterns was determined across 120 sequences from 17 taxonomical classes, which were analyzed by a phylogenetic tree to establish phylogenetic groups. Predicted physicochemical characteristics including hydropathy and net charge were calculated for each group of sequences. 22 Ca2+-ATPases sequences from animals, unicellular eukaryotes, and plants were retrieved from bioinformatic databases. These sequences allow us to establish the Patterns 1(GQILWVRGLTRLQTQ), 3(KNPSLEALQRW), and 4(SRWRRLQAEHVKK), which are present at the beginning of putative CaMBD of metazoan, parasites, and land plants. A pattern 2 (IRVVNAFR) was consistently found at the end of most analyzed sequences. The amino acid preference in the CaMBDs changed depending on the phylogenetic groups, with predominance of several aliphatic and charged residues, to confer amphiphilic properties. The results here displayed show a conserved mechanism to contribute to the Ca2+ homeostasis across evolution and may help to detect putative CaMBDs.

Linalool Activates Oxidative and Calcium Burst and CAM3-ACA8 Participates in Calcium Recovery in Arabidopsis Leaves. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105357.

Abstract
Plants produce linalool to respond to biotic stress, but the linalool-induced early signal remains unclear. In wild-type Arabidopsis, plant resistance to diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) increased more strongly in a linalool-treated group than in an untreated control group. H2O2 and Ca2+, two important early signals that participated in biotic stress, burst after being treated with linalool in Arabidopsis mesophyll cells. Linalool treatment increased H2O2 and intracellular calcium concentrations in mesophyll cells, observed using a confocal microscope with laser scanning, and H2O2 signaling functions upstream of Ca2+ signaling by using inhibitors and mutants. Ca2+ efflux was detected using non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT), and Ca2+ efflux was also inhibited by NADPH oxidase inhibitor DPI (diphenyleneiodonium chloride) and in cells of the NADPH oxidase mutant rbohd. To restore intracellular calcium levels, Ca2+-ATPase was activated, and calmodulin 3 (CAM3) participated in Ca2+-ATPase activation. This result is consistent with the interaction between CAM7 and Ca2+-ATPase isoform 8 (ACA8). In addition, a yeast two-hybrid assay, firefly luciferase complementation imaging assay, and an in vitro pulldown assay showed that CAM3 interacts with the N-terminus of ACA8, and qRT-PCR showed that some JA-related genes and defense genes expressions were enhanced when treated with linalool in Arabidopsis leaves. This study reveals that linalool enhances H2O2 and intracellular calcium concentrations in Arabidopsis mesophyll cells; CAM3-ACA8 reduces intracellular calcium concentrations, allowing cells to resume their resting state. Additionally, JA-related genes and defense genes' expression may enhance plants' defense when treated with linalool.

Abstract
Type 4 P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) actively and selectively translocate phospholipids across membrane bilayers. Driven by ATP hydrolysis, P4-ATPases undergo conformational changes during lipid flipping. It is unclear how the active flipping states of P4-ATPases are regulated in the lipid membranes, especially for phosphatidylcholine (PC)-flipping P4-ATPases whose substrate, PC, is a substantial component of membranes. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy structures of a yeast PC-flipping P4-ATPase, Dnf1, in lipid environments. In native yeast lipids, Dnf1 adopts a conformation in which the lipid flipping pathway is disrupted. Only when the lipid composition is changed can Dnf1 be captured in the active conformations that enable lipid flipping. These results suggest that, in the native membrane, Dnf1 may stay in an idle conformation that is unable to support the trans-membrane movement of lipids. Dnf1 may have altered conformational preferences in membranes with different lipid compositions.

Abstract
Plant plasma membrane H+-ATPases and Ca2+-ATPases maintain low cytoplasmic concentrations of H+ and Ca2+, respectively, and are essential for plant growth and development. These low concentrations allow plasma membrane H+-ATPases to function as electrogenic voltage stats, and Ca2+-ATPases as "off" mechanisms in Ca2+-based signal transduction. Although these pumps are autoregulated by cytoplasmic concentrations of H+ and Ca2+, respectively, they are also subject to exquisite regulation in response to biotic and abiotic events in the environment. A common paradigm for both types of pumps is the presence of terminal regulatory (R) domains that function as autoinhibitors that can be neutralized by multiple means, including phosphorylation. A picture is emerging in which some of the phosphosites in these R domains appear to be highly, nearly constantly phosphorylated, whereas others seem to be subject to dynamic phosphorylation. Thus, some sites might function as major switches, whereas others might simply reduce activity. Here, we provide an overview of the relevant transport systems and discuss recent advances that address their relation to external stimuli and physiological adaptations.

Abstract
Analyses of the function of Arabidopsis Calmodulin7 (CAM7) in concert with multiple regulatory proteins involved in various signal transduction processes. Calmodulin (CaM) plays various regulatory roles in multiple signaling pathways in eukaryotes. Arabidopsis CALMODULIN 7 (CAM7) is a unique member of the CAM family that works as a transcription factor in light signaling pathways. CAM7 works in concert with CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 and ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5, and plays an important role in seedling development. Further, it is involved in the regulation of the activity of various Ca2+-gated channels such as cyclic nucleotide gated channel 6 (CNGC6), CNGC14 and auto-inhibited Ca2+ ATPase 8. Recent studies further indicate that CAM7 is also an integral part of multiple signaling pathways including hormone, immunity and stress. Here, we review the recent advances in understanding the multifaceted role of CAM7. We highlight the open-ended questions, and also discuss the diverse aspects of CAM7 characterization that need to be addressed for comprehensive understanding of its cellular functions.

Abstract
Synaptic vesicle (SV) release, recycling, and plastic changes of release probability co-occur side by side within nerve terminals and rely on local Ca2+ signals with different temporal and spatial profiles. The mechanisms that guarantee separate regulation of these vital presynaptic functions during action potential (AP)-triggered presynaptic Ca2+ entry remain unclear. Combining Drosophila genetics with electrophysiology and imaging reveals the localization of two different voltage-gated calcium channels at the presynaptic terminals of glutamatergic neuromuscular synapses (the Drosophila Cav2 homolog, Dmca1A or cacophony, and the Cav1 homolog, Dmca1D) but with spatial and functional separation. Cav2 within active zones is required for AP-triggered neurotransmitter release. By contrast, Cav1 localizes predominantly around active zones and contributes substantially to AP-evoked Ca2+ influx but has a small impact on release. Instead, L-type calcium currents through Cav1 fine-tune short-term plasticity and facilitate SV recycling. Separate control of SV exo- and endocytosis by AP-triggered presynaptic Ca2+ influx through different channels demands efficient measures to protect the neurotransmitter release machinery against Cav1-mediated Ca2+ influx. We show that the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) resides in between active zones and isolates Cav2-triggered release from Cav1-mediated dynamic regulation of recycling and short-term plasticity, two processes which Cav2 may also contribute to. As L-type Cav1 channels also localize next to PQ-type Cav2 channels within axon terminals of some central mammalian synapses, we propose that Cav2, Cav1, and PMCA act as a conserved functional triad that enables separate control of SV release and recycling rates in presynaptic terminals.

Abstract
During bone resorption, the osteoclast must sustain an extraordinarily low pH environment, withstand immense ionic pressures, and coordinate nutrient and waste exchange across its membrane to sustain its unique structural and functional polarity. To achieve this, osteoclasts are equipped with an elaborate set of membrane transport proteins (pumps, transporters and channels) that serve as molecular ‘gatekeepers’ to regulate the bilateral exchange of ions, amino acids, metabolites and macromolecules across the ruffled border and basolateral domains. Whereas the importance of the vacuolar-ATPase proton pump and chloride voltage-gated channel 7 in osteoclasts has long been established, comparatively little is known about the contributions of other membrane transport proteins, including those categorized as secondary active transporters. In this Special Issue review, we provide a contemporary update on the ‘ins and outs’ of membrane transport proteins implicated in osteoclast differentiation, function and bone homeostasis and discuss their therapeutic potential for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases.

Abstract
P-type ATPases are found in all kingdoms of life and constitute a wide range of cation transporters, primarily for H+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, and transition metal ions such as Cu(I), Zn(II), and Cd(II). They have been studied through a wide range of techniques, and research has gained very significant insight on their transport mechanism and regulation. Here, we review the structure, function, and dynamics of P2-ATPases including Ca2+-ATPases and Na,K-ATPase. We highlight mechanisms of functional transitions that are associated with ion exchange on either side of the membrane and how the functional cycle is regulated by interaction partners, autoregulatory domains, and off-cycle states. Finally, we discuss future perspectives based on emerging techniques and insights.

Abstract
Arabidopsis thaliana contains five tandem-pore domain potassium channels, TPK1-TPK5 and the related one-pore domain potassium channel, KCO3. Although KCO3 is unlikely to be an active channel, it still has a physiological role in plant cells. TPK2 is most similar to KCO3 and both are localized to the tonoplast. However, their function remains poorly understood. Here, taking advantage of the similarities between TPK2 and KCO3, we evaluated Ca2+ binding to the EF hands in TPK2, and the elements of KCO3 required for K+ channel activity. Presence of both EF-hand motifs in TPK2 resulted in Ca2+ binding, but EF1 or EF2 alone failed to interact with Ca2+. The EF hands were not required for K+ transport activity. EF1 contains two cysteines separated by two amino acids. Replacement of both cysteines with serines in TPK2 increased Ca2+ binding. We generated a two-pore domain chimeric K+ channel by replacing the missing pore region in KCO3 with a pore domain of TPK2. Alternatively, we generated two versions of simple one-pore domain K+ channels by removal of an extra region from KCO3. The chimera and one of the simple one-pore variants were functional channels. This strongly suggests that KCO3 is not a pseudogene and KCO3 retains components required for the formation of a functional K+ channel and oligomerization. Our results contribute to our understanding of the structural properties required for K+ channel activity.

Abstract
As sessile organisms, plants have evolved mechanisms to adapt to variable and rapidly fluctuating environmental conditions. Calcium (Ca2+) in plant cells is a versatile intracellular second messenger that is essential for stimulating short- and long-term responses to environmental stresses through changes in its concentration in the cytosol ([Ca2+]cyt). Increases in [Ca2+]cyt direct the strength and length of these stimuli. In order to terminate them, the cells must then remove the cytosolic Ca2+ against a concentration gradient, either taking it away from the cell or storing it in organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and/or vacuoles. Here, we review current knowledge about the biological roles of plant P-type Ca2+-ATPases as potential actors in the regulation of this cytosolic Ca2+ efflux, with a focus the IIA ER-type Ca2+-ATPases (ECAs) and the IIB autoinhibited Ca2+-ATPases (ACAs). While ECAs are analogous proteins to animal sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCAs), ACAs are equivalent to animal plasma membrane-type ATPases (PMCAs). We examine their expression patterns in cells exhibiting polar growth and consider their appearance during the evolution of the plant lineage. Full details of the functions and coordination of ECAs and ACAs during plant growth and development have not yet been elucidated. Our current understanding of the regulation of fluctuations in Ca2+ gradients in the cytoplasm and organelles during growth is in its infancy, but recent technological advances in Ca2+ imaging are expected to shed light on this subject.

Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are prominent cell signaling effectors that regulate a wide variety of cellular processes. Among the different players in Ca2+ homeostasis, primary active Ca2+ transporters are responsible for keeping low basal Ca2+ levels in the cytosol while establishing steep Ca2+ gradients across intracellular membranes or the plasma membrane. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the three types of primary active Ca2+-ATPases: the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pumps, the secretory pathway Ca2+- ATPase (SPCA) isoforms, and the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) Ca2+-transporters. We first discuss the Ca2+ transport mechanism of SERCA1a, which serves as a reference to describe the Ca2+ transport of other Ca2+ pumps. We further highlight the common and unique features of each isoform and review their structure-function relationship, expression pattern, regulatory mechanisms, and specific physiological roles. Finally, we discuss the increasing genetic and in vivo evidence that links the dysfunction of specific Ca2+-ATPase isoforms to a broad range of human pathologies, and highlight emerging therapeutic strategies that target Ca2+ pumps.

Abstract
TRPM2 is a non-selective, Ca2+-permeable cation channel, which plays a role in cell death but also contributes to diverse immune cell functions. In addition, TRPM2 contributes to the control of body temperature and is involved in perception of non-noxious heat and thermotaxis. TRPM2 is regulated by many factors including Ca2+, ADPR, 2'-deoxy-ADPR, Ca2+-CaM, and temperature. However, the molecular basis for the temperature sensitivity of TRPM2 as well as the interplay between the regulatory factors is still not understood. Here we identify a novel CaM-binding site in the unique NudT9H domain of TRPM2. Using a multipronged biophysical approach we show that binding of Ca2+-CaM to this site occurs upon partial unfolding at temperatures >35 °C and prevents further thermal destabilization. In combination with patch-clamp measurements of full-length TRPM2 our results suggest a role of this CaM-binding site in the temperature sensitivity of TRPM2.

Abstract
Hair cells of the inner ear detect sound stimuli, inertial or gravitational forces by deflection of their apical stereocilia. A small number of stereociliary cation-selective mechanotransduction (MET) channels admit K+ and Ca2+ ions into the cytoplasm promoting hair cell membrane depolarization and, consequently, neurotransmitter release at the cell basolateral pole. Ca2+ influx into the stereocilia compartment is counteracted by the unusual w/a splicing variant of plasma-membrane calcium-pump isoform 2 (PMCA2) which, unlike other PMCA2 variants, increases only marginally its activity in response to a rapid variation of the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c). Missense mutations of PMCA2w/a cause deafness and loss of balance in humans. Mouse models in which the pump is genetically ablated or mutated show hearing and balance impairment, which correlates with defects in homeostatic regulation of stereociliary [Ca2+]c, decreased sensitivity of mechanotransduction channels to hair bundle displacement and progressive degeneration of the organ of Corti. These results highlight a critical role played by the PMCA2w/a pump in the control of hair cell function and survival, and provide mechanistic insight into the etiology of deafness and vestibular disorders.

Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca 2+-ATPase by calmodulin. Commun Biol 2018; 1:206.

Abstract
Plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPases expel Ca2+ from the cytoplasm and are key regulators of Ca2+ homeostasis in eukaryotes. They are autoinhibited under low Ca2+ concentrations. Calmodulin (CaM)-binding to a unique regulatory domain releases the autoinhibition and activates the pump. However, the structural basis for this activation, including the overall structure of this calcium pump and its complex with calmodulin, is unknown. We previously determined the high-resolution structure of calmodulin in complex with the regulatory domain of the plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase ACA8 and revealed a bimodular mechanism of calcium control in eukaryotes. Here we show that activation of ACA8 by CaM involves large conformational changes. Combining advanced modeling of neutron scattering data acquired from stealth nanodiscs and native mass spectrometry with detailed dissection of binding constants, we present a structural model for the full-length ACA8 Ca2+ pump in its calmodulin-activated state illustrating a displacement of the regulatory domain from the core enzyme. Julius Nitsche et al. demonstrate that binding of two calmodulin molecules displaces the regulatory domain of the plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase ACA8 to fully activate this Ca2+ pump by relieving the autoinhibition. This work provides structural evidence for the previously proposed bimodular activation mechanism.

Concluding remarks 64 Acknowledgements 64 References 64 SUMMARY: Calcium is an essential structural, metabolic and signalling element. The physiological functions of Ca2+ are enabled by its orchestrated transport across cell membranes, mediated by Ca2+ -permeable ion channels, Ca2+ -ATPases and Ca2+ /H+ exchangers. Bioinformatics analysis has not determined any Ca2+ -selective filters in plant ion channels, but electrophysiological tests do reveal Ca2+ conductances in plant membranes. The biophysical characteristics of plant Ca2+ conductances have been studied in detail and were recently complemented by molecular genetic approaches. Plant Ca2+ conductances are mediated by several families of ion channels, including cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs), ionotropic glutamate receptors, two-pore channel 1 (TPC1), annexins and several types of mechanosensitive channels. Key Ca2+ -mediated reactions (e.g. sensing of temperature, gravity, touch and hormones, and cell elongation and guard cell closure) have now been associated with the activities of specific subunits from these families. Structural studies have demonstrated a unique selectivity filter in TPC1, which is passable for hydrated divalent cations. The hypothesis of a ROS-Ca2+ hub is discussed, linking Ca2+ transport to ROS generation. CNGC inactivation by cytosolic Ca2+ , leading to the termination of Ca2+ signals, is now mechanistically explained. The structure-function relationships of Ca2+ -ATPases and Ca2+ /H+ exchangers, and their regulation and physiological roles are analysed.

Abstract
Plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases (PMCAs) are key regulators of global Ca2+ homeostasis and local intracellular Ca2+ dynamics. Recently, Neuroplastin (NPTN) and basigin were identified as previously unrecognized obligatory subunits of PMCAs that dramatically increase the efficiency of PMCA-mediated Ca2+ clearance. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of human PMCA1 (hPMCA1) in complex with NPTN at a resolution of 4.1 Å for the overall structure and 3.9 Å for the transmembrane domain. The single transmembrane helix of NPTN interacts with the TM8-9-linker and TM10 of hPMCA1. The subunits are required for the hPMCA1 functional activity. The NPTN-bound hPMCA1 closely resembles the E1-Mg2+ structure of endo(sarco)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase and the Ca2+ site is exposed through a large open cytoplasmic pathway. This structure provides insight into how the subunits bind to the PMCAs and serves as an important basis for understanding the functional mechanisms of this essential calcium pump family. The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) is essential for maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis in eukaryotic cells, and neuroplastin (NPTN) was recently identified as an obligatory subunit of PMCA. Here the authors present the cryo-EM structure of NPTN bound to human PMCA1, which reveals that the NPTN transmembrane (TM) helix interacts with TM10 and the TM8-9-linker of PMCA1.

Abstract
Calcium plays an important role in plant growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli. Copines are conserved plasma membrane-localized calcium-binding proteins which regulate plant immune responses and development. In this study, we found that copine proteins BON2 and BON3, the paralogs of BON1, physically interact with calcium pumps ACA8 and ACA10 in Arabidopsis. Notably, ACA9, the closest homologue of ACA8 and ACA10 functioning in pollen tube growth, interacts with all three copines. This is consistent with the protein–protein interactions between the two protein families, the aca8, aca10, aca8/aca10, bon1/2/3 mutants as well as aca9 mutant exhibited defects on pollen germination and seed production. Taken together, plasma membrane-localized interacting calcium pumps and copines coordinately control pollen tube growth, likely through manipulating calcium efflux.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) from trypanosomatids lacks a classical calmodulin (CaM) binding domain, although CaM stimulated activities have been detected by biochemical assays. Recently we proposed that the Trypanosoma equiperdum CaM-sensitive PMCA (TePMCA) contains a potential 1-18 CaM-binding motif at the C-terminal region of the pump. In the present study, we evaluated the potential CaM-binding motifs using CaM from Trypanosoma cruzi and either the recombinant full length TePMCA C-terminal sequence (P14) or synthetic peptides comprising different regions of the C-terminal domain. We demonstrated that P14 and a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 1037-1062 (which contains the predicted 1-18 binding motif) competed efficiently for binding to TcCaM, exhibiting similar IC50s of 200 nM. A stable complex of this peptide and TcCaM was formed in the presence of Ca2+, as determined by native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A predicted structure obtained by molecular docking showed an interaction of the 1-18 binding motif with the Ca2+/CaM complex. Moreover, when the peptide was incubated with CaM and Ca2+, a blue shift in the tryptophan fluorescence spectrum (from 350 to 329 nm) was observed. Substitutions at W1039 and F1056, strongly decreased both CaM-peptide interaction and the complex assembly. Our results demonstrated the presence of a functional 1-18 motif at the TePMCA C-terminal domain. Furthermore, on the basis of spectrofluorometric assays and the resulting structure modeled by docking we propose that the L1042 and W1060 residues might also participate as anchors to form a 1-4-18-22 motif.

Abstract
Plant cells have multiple plasma membrane (PM)-localized calcium ATPases (ACAs) pumping calcium ions out of the cytosol. Although the involvement of some of these ACAs in plant growth and immunity has been reported, their individual and combined functions have not been fully examined. Here, we analysed the effects of single and combined mutations of four ACA genes, ACA8, ACA10, ACA12, and ACA13, in a number of processes. We found that these four genes had both overlapping and differential involvements in vegetative growth, inflorescence growth, seeds setting, disease resistance and stomatal movement. Disruption of any of these four genes reduces seed setting, indicating their contribution to the overall fitness of the plants. While ACA10 and ACA8 play major roles in vegetative growth and immunity, ACA13 and ACA12 are also involved in these processes especially when the function of ACA10 and/or ACA8 is compromised. The loss of ACA13 and ACA10 function in combination with a reduction in function of ACA8 leads to seedling death at bolting, revealing the essential role of their collective function in plant growth. Taken together, this study indicates a highly tuned calcium system involving these PM-localized calcium pumps in plant growth and environmental responses.

Abstract
Changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) serve to transmit information in eukaryotic cells. The involvement of this second messenger in plant cell growth as well as osmotic- and water relations is well established. After almost 40 years of intense research on the coding and decoding of plant Ca2+ signals, numerous proteins involved in Ca2+ action have been identified. However, we are still far from understanding the complexity of Ca2+ networks. New in vivo Ca2+ imaging techniques combined with molecular genetics allow visualisation of spatio-temporal aspects of Ca2+ signalling. In parallel, cell biology together with protein biochemistry and electrophysiology are able to dissect information processing by this second messenger in space and time. Here we focus on the time-resolved changes in cellular events upon Ca2+ signals, concentrating on the two best-studied cell types, pollen tubes and guard cells. We put their signalling networks side by side, compare them with those of other cell types and discuss rapid signalling in the context of Ca2+ transients and oscillations to regulate ion homeostasis.

Abstract
Ion channels activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been found in the plasma membrane of charophyte Nitella flixilis, dicotyledon Arabidopsis thaliana, Pyrus pyrifolia and Pisum sativum, and the monocotyledon Lilium longiflorum. Their activities have been reported in charophyte giant internodes, root trichoblasts and atrichoblasts, pollen tubes, and guard cells. Hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals are major activating species for these channels. Plant ROS-activated ion channels include inwardly-rectifying, outwardly-rectifying, and voltage-independent groups. The inwardly-rectifying ROS-activated ion channels mediate Ca2+-influx for growth and development in roots and pollen tubes. The outwardly-rectifying group facilitates K⁺ efflux for the regulation of osmotic pressure in guard cells, induction of programmed cell death, and autophagy in roots. The voltage-independent group mediates both Ca2+ influx and K⁺ efflux. Most studies suggest that ROS-activated channels are non-selective cation channels. Single-channel studies revealed activation of 14.5-pS Ca2+ influx and 16-pS K⁺ efflux unitary conductances in response to ROS. The molecular nature of ROS-activated Ca2+ influx channels remains poorly understood, although annexins and cyclic nucleotide-gated channels have been proposed for this role. The ROS-activated K⁺ channels have recently been identified as products of Stellar K⁺ Outward Rectifier (SKOR) and Guard cell Outwardly Rectifying K⁺ channel (GORK) genes.

Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium sensing protein that regulates the function of a large number of proteins, thus playing a crucial part in many cell signaling pathways. CaM has the ability to bind more than 300 different target peptides in a Ca2+-dependent manner, mainly through the exposure of hydrophobic residues. How CaM can bind a large number of targets while retaining some selectivity is a fascinating open question. Here, we explore the mechanism of CaM selective promiscuity for selected target proteins. Analyzing enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations of Ca2+-bound and Ca2+-free CaM via spectral clustering has allowed us to identify distinct conformational states, characterized by interhelical angles, secondary structure determinants and the solvent exposure of specific residues. We searched for indicators of conformational selection by mapping solvent exposure of residues in these conformational states to contacts in structures of CaM/target peptide complexes. We thereby identified CaM states involved in various binding classes arranged along a depth binding gradient. Binding Ca2+ modifies the accessible hydrophobic surface of the two lobes and allows for deeper binding. Apo CaM indeed shows shallow binding involving predominantly polar and charged residues. Furthermore, binding to the C-terminal lobe of CaM appears selective and involves specific conformational states that can facilitate deep binding to target proteins, while binding to the N-terminal lobe appears to happen through a more flexible mechanism. Thus the long-ranged electrostatic interactions of the charged residues of the N-terminal lobe of CaM may initiate binding, while the short-ranged interactions of hydrophobic residues in the C-terminal lobe of CaM may account for selectivity. This work furthers our understanding of the mechanism of CaM binding and selectivity to different target proteins and paves the way towards a comprehensive model of CaM selectivity.

Abstract
The P-type ATPases family consists of ion and lipid transporters. Their unique diversity in function and expression is critical for normal development. In this study we investigated human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) and different neural progenitor states to characterize the expression of the plasma membrane calcium ATPases (PMCAs) during human neural development and in mature mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons. Our RNA sequencing data identified a dynamic change in ATPase expression correlating with the differentiation time of the neural progenitors, which was independent of the neuronal progenitor type. Expression of ATP2B1 and ATP2B4 were the most abundantly expressed, in accordance with their main role in Ca2+ regulation and we observed all of the PMCAs to have a subcellular punctate localization. Interestingly in hPSCs ATP2B1 and ATP2B3 were highly expressed in a cell cycle specific manner and ATP2B2 and ATP2B4 were highly expressed in a hPSC sub-population. In neural rosettes a strong apical PMCA expression was identified in the luminal region. Lastly, we confirmed all PMCAs to be expressed in mesDA neurons, however at varying levels. Our results reveal that PMCA expression dynamically changes during stem cell differentiation and highlights the diverging needs of cell populations to regulate and properly integrate Ca2+ changes, which can ultimately correspond to changes in specific stem cell transcription states.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) removes Ca2+ from the cytosol into the extracellular space. Its catalytic activity can be stimulated by calmodulin (CaM) or by limited proteolysis. We evaluated the effect of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) over the hydrolytic activity of PMCA. Activity was monitored in three different forms: native, CaM-activated and proteolyzed by trypsin. CPZ appears to inhibit PMCA without directly interfering with the C-terminal site, since it is affected by CaM and proteolysis. Although the treatment of PMCA with trypsin and CaM produces an activation, it also produces an enzymatic form that is more sensitive to inhibition by CPZ. The same case was observed in the DMSO inhibition experiments. In the absence of CPZ, DMSO produces a progressive loss of activity, but in the presence of CPZ the profile of activity against DMSO changes and produces a recovery of activity, indicating a possible partition of CPZ by the solvent. Increasing Ca2+ concentrations indicated that CPZ interacts with PMCA rather than with CaM. This observation is supported by docking analysis that suggests that the CPZ-PMCA interaction is non-competitive. We propose that CPZ interacts with the state of lower affinity for Ca2 +.

Abstract
Elevation in the cytosolic free calcium is crucial for plant growth, development and adaptation. Calcium influx into plant cells is mediated by Ca2+ depolarisation-activated, hyperpolarisation-activated and voltage-independent Ca2+-permeable channels (DACCs, HACCs and VICCs respectively). These channels are encoded by the following gene families: (1) cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs), (2) ionotropic glutamate receptors (GLRs), (3) annexins, (4) 'mechanosensitive channels of small (MscS) conductance'-like channels (MSLs), (5) 'mid1-complementing activity' channels (MCAs), Piezo channels, and hyperosmolality-induced [Ca2+]cyt. channel 1 (OSCA1). Also, a 'tandem-pore channel1' (TPC1) catalyses Ca2+ efflux from the vacuole in response to the plasma membrane-mediated Ca2+ elevation. Recent experimental data demonstrated that Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. CNGCs 2, 5-10, 14, 16 and 18, GLRs 1.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.7, TPC1, ANNEXIN1, MSL9 and MSL10,MCA1 and MCA2, OSCA1, and some their homologues counterparts in other species, are responsible for Ca2+ currents and/or cytosolic Ca2+ elevation. Extrusion of Ca2+ from the cytosol is mediated by Ca2+-ATPases and Ca2+/H+ exchangers which were recently examined at the level of high resolution crystal structure. Calcium-activated NADPH oxidases and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-activated Ca2+ conductances form a self-amplifying 'ROS-Ca2+hub', enhancing and transducing Ca2+ and redox signals. The ROS-Ca2+ hub contributes to physiological reactions controlled by ROS and Ca2+, demonstrating synergism and unity of Ca2+ and ROS signalling mechanisms.

Abstract
Calmodulin-like (CML) proteins are major EF-hand-containing, calcium (Ca2+)-binding proteins with crucial roles in plant development and in coordinating plant stress tolerance. Given their abundance in plants, the properties of Ca2+ sensors and identification of novel target proteins of CMLs deserve special attention. To this end, we recombinantly produced and biochemically characterized CML36 from Arabidopsis thaliana We analyzed Ca2+ and Mg2+ binding to the individual EF-hands, observed metal-induced conformational changes, and identified a physiologically relevant target. CML36 possesses two high-affinity Ca2+/Mg2+ mixed binding sites and two low-affinity Ca2+-specific sites. Binding of Ca2+ induced an increase in the α-helical content and a conformational change that lead to the exposure of hydrophobic regions responsible for target protein recognition. Cation binding, either Ca2+ or Mg2+, stabilized the secondary and tertiary structures of CML36, guiding a large structural transition from a molten globule apo-state to a compact holoconformation. Importantly, through in vitro binding and activity assays, we showed that CML36 interacts directly with the regulative N terminus of the Arabidopsis plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase isoform 8 (ACA8) and that this interaction stimulates ACA8 activity. Gene expression analysis revealed that CML36 and ACA8 are co-expressed mainly in inflorescences. Collectively, our results support a role for CML36 as a Ca2+ sensor that binds to and modulates ACA8, uncovering a possible involvement of the CML protein family in the modulation of plant-autoinhibited Ca2+ pumps.

Abstract
A crucial bottleneck in membrane protein structural biology is the difficulty in identifying a detergent that can maintain the stability and functionality of integral membrane proteins (IMPs). Detergents are poor membrane mimics, and their common use in membrane protein crystallography may be one reason for the challenges in obtaining high-resolution crystal structures of many IMP families. Lipid-like peptides (LLPs) have detergent-like properties and have been proposed as alternatives for the solubilization of G protein-coupled receptors and other membrane proteins. Here, we systematically analyzed the stabilizing effect of LLPs on integral membrane proteins of different families. We found that LLPs could significantly stabilize detergent-solubilized IMPs in vitro. This stabilizing effect depended on the chemical nature of the LLP and the intrinsic stability of a particular IMP in the detergent. Our results suggest that screening a subset of LLPs is sufficient to stabilize a particular IMP, which can have a substantial impact on the crystallization and quality of the crystal.

Abstract
During evolution, the cell as a fine-tuned machine had to undergo permanent adjustments to match changes in its environment, while "closed for repair work" was not possible. Evolution from protists (protozoa and unicellular algae) to multicellular organisms may have occurred in basically two lineages, Unikonta and Bikonta, culminating in mammals and angiosperms (flowering plants), respectively. Unicellular models for unikont evolution are myxamoebae (Dictyostelium) and increasingly also choanoflagellates, whereas for bikonts, ciliates are preferred models. Information accumulating from combined molecular database search and experimental verification allows new insights into evolutionary diversification and maintenance of genes/proteins from protozoa on, eventually with orthologs in bacteria. However, proteins have rarely been followed up systematically for maintenance or change of function or intracellular localization, acquirement of new domains, partial deletion (e.g. of subunits), and refunctionalization, etc. These aspects are discussed in this review, envisaging "evolutionary cell biology." Protozoan heritage is found for most important cellular structures and functions up to humans and flowering plants. Examples discussed include refunctionalization of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in cilia and replacement by other types during evolution. Altogether components serving Ca2+ signaling are very flexible throughout evolution, calmodulin being a most conservative example, in contrast to calcineurin whose catalytic subunit is lost in plants, whereas both subunits are maintained up to mammals for complex functions (immune defense and learning). Domain structure of R-type SNAREs differs in mono- and bikonta, as do Ca2+ -dependent protein kinases. Unprecedented selective expansion of the subunit a which connects multimeric base piece and head parts (V0, V1) of H+ -ATPase/pump may well reflect the intriguing vesicle trafficking system in ciliates, specifically in Paramecium. One of the most flexible proteins is centrin when its intracellular localization and function throughout evolution is traced. There are many more examples documenting evolutionary flexibility of translation products depending on requirements and potential for implantation within the actual cellular context at different levels of evolution. From estimates of gene and protein numbers per organism, it appears that much of the basic inventory of protozoan precursors could be transmitted to highest eukaryotic levels, with some losses and also with important additional "inventions."

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) acts as an essential second messenger connecting the perception of microbe signals to the establishment of appropriate immune and symbiotic responses in plants. Accumulating evidence suggests that plants distinguish different microorganisms through plasma membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors. The particular recognition events are encoded into Ca2+ signatures, which are sensed by diverse intracellular Ca2+ binding proteins. The Ca2+ signatures are eventually decoded to distinct downstream responses through transcriptional reprogramming of the defense or symbiosis-related genes. Recent observations further reveal that Ca2+-mediated signaling is also involved in negative regulation of plant immunity. This review is intended as an overview of Ca2+ signaling during immunity and symbiosis, including Ca2+ responses in the nucleus and cytosol.

Abstract
Ca2+ serves as a universal second messenger in eukaryotic signaling pathways, and the spatial and temporal patterns of Ca2+ concentration changes are determined by feedback and feed-forward regulation of the involved transport proteins. Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) are Ca2+-permeable channels that interact with the ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM). CNGCs interact with CaMs via diverse CaM-binding sites, including an IQ-motif, which has been identified in the C-termini of CNGC20 and CNGC12. Here we present a family-wide analysis of the IQ-motif from all 20 Arabidopsis CNGC isoforms. While most of their IQ-peptides interacted with conserved CaMs in yeast, some were unable to do so, despite high sequence conservation across the family. We showed that the CaM binding ability of the IQ-motif is highly dependent on its proximal and distal vicinity. We determined that two alanine residues positioned N-terminal to the core IQ-sequence play a significant role in CaM binding, and identified a polymorphism at this site that promoted or inhibited CaM binding in yeast. Through detailed biophysical analysis of the CNGC2 IQ-motif, we found that this polymorphism specifically affected the Ca2+-independent interactions with the C-lobe of CaM. This same polymorphism partially suppressed the induction of programmed cell death by CNGC11/12 in planta. Our work expands the model of CNGC regulation, and posits that the C-lobe of apo-CaM is permanently associated with the channel at the N-terminal part of the IQ-domain. This mode allows CaM to function as a Ca2+-sensing regulatory subunit of the channel complex, providing a mechanism by which Ca2+ signals may be fine-tuned.

Abstract
Ca2+ signals are transient, hence, upon a stimulus-induced increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, cells have to re-establish resting Ca2+ levels. Ca2+ extrusion is operated by a wealth of transporters, such as Ca2+ pumps and Ca2+/H+ antiporters, which often require a rise in Ca2+ concentration to be activated. Here, we report a regulatory fine-tuning mechanism of the Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membrane-localized Ca2+-ATPase isoform ACA8 that is mediated by calcineurin B-like protein (CBL) and CBL-interacting protein kinase (CIPK) complexes. We show that two CIPKs (CIPK9 and CIPK14) are able to interact with ACA8 in vivo and phosphorylate it in vitro. Transient co-overexpression of ACA8 with CIPK9 and the plasma membrane Ca2+ sensor CBL1 in tobacco leaf cells influences nuclear Ca2+ dynamics, specifically reducing the height of the second peak of the wound-induced Ca2+ transient. Stimulus-induced Ca2+ transients in mature leaves and seedlings of an aca8 T-DNA insertion line exhibit altered dynamics when compared with the wild type. Altogether our results identify ACA8 as a prominent in vivo regulator of cellular Ca2+ dynamics and reveal the existence of a Ca2+-dependent CBL-CIPK-mediated regulatory feedback mechanism, which crucially functions in the termination of Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA pump) is a member of the superfamily of P-type pumps. It has 10 transmembrane helices and 2 cytosolic loops, one of which contains the catalytic center. Its most distinctive feature is a C-terminal tail that contains most of the regulatory sites including that for calmodulin. The pump is also regulated by acidic phospholipids, kinases, a dimerization process, and numerous protein interactors. In mammals, four genes code for the four basic isoforms. Isoform complexity is increased by alternative splicing of primary transcripts. Pumps 2 and 3 are expressed preferentially in the nervous system. The pumps coexist with more powerful systems that clear Ca2+ from the bulk cytosol: their role is thus the regulation of Ca2+ in selected subplasma membrane microdomains, where a number of important Ca2+-dependent enzymes interact with them. Malfunctions of the pump lead to disease phenotypes that affect the nervous system preferentially.
