Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites (ER-PM MCS) are a specialised domain involved in the control of Ca2+ dynamics and various Ca2+-dependent cellular processes. Intracellular Ca2+ signals are broadly supported by Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ channels such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and subsequent store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) across the PM to replenish store content. IP3Rs sit in close proximity to the PM where they can easily access newly synthesised IP3, interact with binding partners such as actin, and localise adjacent to ER-PM MCS populated by the SOCE machinery, STIM1-2 and Orai1-3, to possibly form a locally regulated unit of Ca2+ influx. PtdIns(4,5)P2 is a multiplex regulator of Ca2+ signalling at the ER-PM MCS interacting with multiple proteins at these junctions such as actin and STIM1, whilst also being consumed as a substrate for phospholipase C to produce IP3 in response to extracellular stimuli. In this review, we consider the mechanisms regulating the synthesis and turnover of PtdIns(4,5)P2 via the phosphoinositide cycle and its significance for sustained signalling at the ER-PM MCS. Furthermore, we highlight recent insights into the role of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the spatiotemporal organization of signalling at ER-PM junctions and raise outstanding questions on how this multi-faceted regulation occurs.

Abstract
Calcium stores in neurons are heterogeneous in compartmentalization and molecular composition. Danio rerio (zebrafish) is an animal model with a simply folded cerebellum similar in cellular organization to that of mammals. The aim of the study was to identify new endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium store markers in zebrafish adult brain with emphasis on cerebellum and optic tectum. By quantitative polymerase chain reaction, we found three RNA transcripts coding for the intra-ER calcium binding protein calsequestrin: casq1a, casq1b, and casq2. In brain homogenates, two isoforms were detected by mass spectrometry and western blotting. Fractionation experiments of whole brain revealed that Casq1a and Casq2 were enriched in a heavy fraction containing ER microsomes and synaptic membranes. By in situ hybridization, we found the heterogeneous expression of casq1a and casq2 mRNA to be compatible with the cellular localization of calsequestrins investigated by immunofluorescence. Casq1 was expressed in neurogenic differentiation 1 expressing the granule cells of the cerebellum and the periventricular zone of the optic tectum. Casq2 was concentrated in parvalbumin expressing Purkinje cells. At a subcellular level, Casq1 was restricted to granular cell bodies, and Casq2 was localized in cell bodies, dendrites, and axons. Data are discussed in relation to the differential cellular and subcellular distribution of other cerebellum calcium store markers and are evaluated with respect to the putative relevance of calsequestrins in the neuron-specific functional activity.

Abstract
The extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) are ER proteins that act as Ca(2+)-regulated tethers between the ER and the plasma membrane (PM) and have a putative role in lipid transport between the two membranes. Ca(2+) regulation of their tethering function, as well as the interplay of their different domains in such function, remains poorly understood. By exposing semi-intact cells to buffers of variable Ca(2+) concentrations, we found that binding of E-Syt1 to the PI(4,5)P2-rich PM critically requires its C2C and C2E domains and that the EC50 of such binding is in the low micromolar Ca(2+) range. Accordingly, E-Syt1 accumulation at ER-PM contact sites occurred only upon experimental manipulations known to achieve these levels of Ca(2+) via its influx from the extracellular medium, such as store-operated Ca(2+) entry in fibroblasts and membrane depolarization in β-cells. We also show that in spite of their very different physiological functions, membrane tethering by E-Syt1 (ER to PM) and by synaptotagmin (secretory vesicles to PM) undergo a similar regulation by plasma membrane lipids and cytosolic Ca(2+).

Abstract
Abstract Agonist-induced Ca(2+) oscillations in many cell types are triggered by Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores and driven by store-operated Ca(2+) entry. Stromal cell-interaction molecule (STIM) 1 and STIM2 serve as endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) sensors that, upon store depletion, activate Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) channels (Orai1-3, CRACM1-3) in the plasma membrane. However, their relative roles in agonist-mediated Ca(2+) oscillations remain ambiguous. Here we report that while both STIM1 and STIM2 contribute to store-refilling during Ca(2+) oscillations in mast cells (RBL), T cells (Jurkat) and human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells, they do so dependent on the level of store depletion. Molecular silencing of STIM2 by siRNA or inhibition by G418 suppresses store-operated Ca(2+) entry and agonist-mediated Ca(2+) oscillations at low levels of store depletion, without interfering with STIM1-mediated signals induced by full store depletion. Thus, STIM2 is preferentially activated by low-level physiological agonist concentrations that cause mild reductions in endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) levels. We conclude that with increasing agonist concentrations, store-operated Ca(2+) entry is mediated initially by endogenous STIM2 and incrementally by STIM1, enabling differential modulation of Ca(2+) entry over a range of agonist concentrations and levels of store depletion.

Abstract
Calcium signals mediate diverse cellular functions in immunological cells. Early studies with mast cells, then a preeminent model for studying Ca2+-dependent exocytosis, revealed several basic features of calcium signaling in non-electrically excitable cells. Subsequent studies in these and other cells further defined the basic processes such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated release of Ca2+ from Ca2+ stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); coupling of ER store depletion to influx of external Ca2+ through a calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channel now attributed to the interaction of the ER Ca2+ sensor, stromal interacting molecule-1 (STIM1), with a unique Ca2+-channel protein, Orai1/CRACM1, and subsequent uptake of excess Ca2+ into ER and mitochondria through ATP-dependent Ca2+ pumps. In addition, transient receptor potential channels and ion exchangers also contribute to the generation of calcium signals that may be global or have dynamic (e.g., waves and oscillations) and spatial resolution for specific functional readouts. This review discusses past and recent developments in this field of research, the pharmacologic agents that have assisted in these endeavors, and the mast cell as an exemplar for sorting out how calcium signals may regulate multiple outputs in a single cell.

Abstract
Second messenger-induced Ca2+-release from intracellular stores plays a key role in a multitude of physiological processes. In addition to 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate (IP3), Ca2+, and cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR) that trigger Ca2+-release from the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER), nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) has been identified as a cellular metabolite that mediates Ca2+-release from lysosomal stores. While NAADP-induced Ca2+-release has been found in many tissues and cell types, the molecular identity of the channel(s) conferring this release remained elusive so far. Here, we show that TPCN2, a novel member of the two-pore cation channel family, displays the basic properties of native NAADP-dependent Ca2+-release channels. TPCN2 transcripts are widely expressed in the body and encode a lysosomal protein forming homomers. TPCN2 mediates intracellular Ca2+-release after activation with low-nanomolar concentrations of NAADP while it is desensitized by micromolar concentrations of this second messenger and is insensitive to the NAADP analog nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). Furthermore, TPCN2-mediated Ca2+-release is almost completely abolished when the capacity of lysosomes for storing Ca2+ is pharmacologically blocked. By contrast, TPCN2-specific Ca2+-release is unaffected by emptying ER-based Ca2+ stores. In conclusion, these findings indicate that TPCN2 is a major component of the long-sought lysosomal NAADP-dependent Ca2+-release channel.

Abstract
Recent studies have defined roles for STIM1 and Orai1 as calcium sensor and calcium channel, respectively, for Ca(2+)-release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels, channels underlying store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). In addition, these proteins have been suggested to function in signalling and constructing other channels with biophysical properties distinct from the CRAC channels. Using the human kidney cell line, HEK293, we examined the hypothesis that STIM1 can interact with and regulate members of a family of non-selective cation channels (TRPC) which have been suggested to also function in SOCE pathways under certain conditions. Our data reveal no role for either STIM1 or Orai1 in signalling of TRPC channels. Specifically, Ca(2+) entry seen after carbachol treatment in cells transiently expressing TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC5 or TRPC6 was not enhanced by the co-expression of STIM1. Further, knockdown of STIM1 in cells expressing TRPC5 did not reduce TRPC5 activity, in contrast to one published report. We previously reported in stable TRPC7 cells a Ca(2+) entry which was dependent on TRPC7 and appeared store-operated. However, we show here that this TRPC7-mediated entry was also not dependent on either STIM1 or Orai1, as determined by RNA interference (RNAi) and expression of a constitutively active mutant of STIM1. Further, we determined that this entry was not actually store-operated, but instead TRPC7 activity which appears to be regulated by SERCA. Importantly, endogenous TRPC activity was also not regulated by STIM1. In vascular smooth muscle cells, arginine-vasopressin (AVP) activated non-selective cation currents associated with TRPC6 activity were not affected by RNAi knockdown of STIM1, while SOCE was largely inhibited. Finally, disruption of lipid rafts significantly attenuated TRPC3 activity, while having no effect on STIM1 localization or the development of I(CRAC). Also, STIM1 punctae were found to localize in regions distinct from lipid rafts. This suggests that TRPC signalling and STIM1/Orai1 signalling occur in distinct plasma membrane domains. Thus, TRPC channels appear to be activated by mechanisms dependent on phospholipase C which do not involve the Ca(2+) sensor, STIM1.

Abstract
Capacitative Ca2+ entry links the emptying of intracellular Ca2+ stores to the activation of store-operated Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. In the twenty years since the inception of the concept of capacitative Ca2+ entry, a number of activation mechanisms have been proposed, and there has been considerable interest in the possibility that TRP channels function as store-operated channels. However, in the past two years, two major players in both the signaling and permeation mechanisms for store-operated channels have been discovered: Stim1 and the Orai proteins. Stim1 is an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor. It appears to act by redistributing within a small component of the endoplasmic reticulum, approaching the plasma membrane, but does not seem to translocate into the plasma membrane. Stim1 signals to plasma membrane Orai proteins, which constitute pore-forming subunits of store-operated channels.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs) are a family of Ca2+ release channels localized predominately in the endoplasmic reticulum of all cell types. They function to release Ca2+ into the cytoplasm in response to InsP3 produced by diverse stimuli, generating complex local and global Ca2+ signals that regulate numerous cell physiological processes ranging from gene transcription to secretion to learning and memory. The InsP3R is a calcium-selective cation channel whose gating is regulated not only by InsP3, but by other ligands as well, in particular cytoplasmic Ca2+. Over the last decade, detailed quantitative studies of InsP3R channel function and its regulation by ligands and interacting proteins have provided new insights into a remarkable richness of channel regulation and of the structural aspects that underlie signal transduction and permeation. Here, we focus on these developments and review and synthesize the literature regarding the structure and single-channel properties of the InsP3R.

Abstract
Activation of phospholipase C by G-protein-coupled receptors results in release of intracellular Ca(2+) and activation of Ca(2+) channels in the plasma membrane. The intracellular release of Ca(2+) is signaled by the second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Ca(2+) entry involves signaling from depleted intracellular stores to plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels, a process referred to as capacitative calcium entry or store-operated calcium entry. The electrophysiological current associated with capacitative calcium entry is the calcium-release-activated calcium current, or I(crac). In the 20 years since the inception of the concept of capacitative calcium entry, a variety of activation mechanisms have been proposed, and there has been considerable interest in the possibility of transient receptor potential channels functioning as store-operated channels. However, in the past 2 years, two major players in both the signaling and permeation mechanisms for store-operated channels have been discovered: Stim1 (and possibly Stim2) and the Orai proteins. Activation of store-operated channels involves an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) sensor called Stim1. Stim1 acts by redistributing within a small component of the endoplasmic reticulum, approaching the plasma membrane, but does not appear to translocate into the plasma membrane. Stim1, either directly or indirectly, signals to plasma membrane Orai proteins which constitute pore-forming subunits of store-operated channels.

Abstract
Although modulation of transmitter release by serotonin (5-HT) at crayfish neuromuscular junctions has been known since 1965, the mechanisms of action have not been established in this classical synaptic preparation. We show that injections of adenophostin-A (an IP3 analog) in the nerve terminals greatly enhances synaptic transmission. Exposure to ryanodine (Ry) produces a biphasic response: at low concentration it is excitatory and high concentration it is inhibitory. Likewise, a low concentration (1 microM) of caffeine enhances synaptic transmission, whereas a high concentration (10 mM) has little effect on transmission. The varied responses and sensitivity to Ry and caffeine suggest a Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release mechanism and/or the presence of an IP3-receptor within the terminal. Thus, it is likely 5-HT's response is due to activation of intracellular pathways, which subsequently release Ca2+ from internal stores.

Abstract
The voltage-clamp technique was used to study Ca(2+) and Cl(-) transient currents in the plasmalemma of tonoplast-free and intact Chara corallina cells. In tonoplast-free cells [perfused medium with ethylene glycol bis(2-aminoethyl ether)tetraacetic acid] long-term inward and outward currents through Ca channels consisted of two components: with and without time-dependent inactivation. The voltage dependence of the Ca channel activation ratio was found to be sigmoid-shaped, with about -140-mV activation threshold, reaching a plateau at V>50 mV. As the voltage increased, the characteristic activation time decreased from approximately 10(3) ms in the threshold region to approximately 10 ms in the positive region. The positive pulse-activated channels can then be completely deactivated, which is recorded by the Ca(2+) tail currents, at below-threshold negative voltages with millisecond-range time constants. This tail current is used for fast and brief Ca(2+) injection into tonoplast-free and intact cells, to activate the chloride channels by Ca(2+) . When cells are perfused with EDTA-containing medium in the presence of excess Mg(2+), this method of injection allows the free submembrane Ca(2+) concentration, [Ca(2+)](c), to be raised rapidly to several tens of micromoles per liter. Then a chloride component is recorded in the inward tail current, with the amplitude proportional to [see text]. When Ca(2+) is thus injected into an intact cell, it induces an inward current in the voltage-clamped plasmalemma, having activation-inactivation kinetics qualitatively resembling that in EDTA-perfused cells, but a considerably higher amplitude and duration (approximately 10 A m(-2) and tau(inact)~0.5 s at -200 mV). Analysis of our data and theoretical considerations indicate that the [Ca(2+)](c) rise during cell excitation is caused mainly by Ca(2+) entry through plasmalemma Ca channels rather than by Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores.

Abstract
In electrically nonexcitable cells, Ca2+influx is essential for regulating a host of kinetically distinct processes involving exocytosis, enzyme control, gene regulation, cell growth and proliferation, and apoptosis. The major Ca2+entry pathway in these cells is the store-operated one, in which the emptying of intracellular Ca2+stores activates Ca2+influx (store-operated Ca2+entry, or capacitative Ca2+entry). Several biophysically distinct store-operated currents have been reported, but the best characterized is the Ca2+release-activated Ca2+current, ICRAC. Although it was initially considered to function only in nonexcitable cells, growing evidence now points towards a central role for ICRAC-like currents in excitable cells too. In spite of intense research, the signal that relays the store Ca2+content to CRAC channels in the plasma membrane, as well as the molecular identity of the Ca2+sensor within the stores, remains elusive. Resolution of these issues would be greatly helped by the identification of the CRAC channel gene. In some systems, evidence suggests that store-operated channels might be related to TRP homologs, although no consensus has yet been reached. Better understood are mechanisms that inactivate store-operated entry and hence control the overall duration of Ca2+entry. Recent work has revealed a central role for mitochondria in the regulation of ICRAC, and this is particularly prominent under physiological conditions. ICRACtherefore represents a dynamic interplay between endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and plasma membrane. In this review, we describe the key electrophysiological features of ICRACand other store-operated Ca2+currents and how they are regulated, and we consider recent advances that have shed insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in this ubiquitous and vital Ca2+entry pathway.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that adenophostin A is a potent initiator of the activation of SOCs (store-operated Ca2+ channels) in rat hepatocytes, and have suggested that, of the two subtypes of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor predominantly present in rat hepatocytes [Ins(1,4,5)P3R1 (type I receptor) and Ins(1,4,5)P3R2 (type II receptor)], Ins(1,4,5)P3R1s are required for SOC activation. We compared the abilities of Ins(1,4,6)P3 [with higher apparent affinity for Ins(1,4,5)P3R1] and Ins(1,3,6)P3 and Ins(1,2,4,5)P4 [with higher apparent affinities for Ins(1,4,5)P3R2] to activate SOCs. The Ins(1,4,5)P3 analogues were microinjected into single cells together with fura 2, and dose-response curves for the activation of Ca2+ inflow and Ca2+ release from intracellular stores obtained for each analogue. The concentration of Ins(1,4,6)P3 which gave half-maximal stimulation of Ca2+ inflow was substantially lower than that which gave half-maximal stimulation of Ca2+ release. By contrast, for Ins(1,3,6)P3 and Ins(1,2,4,5)P3, the concentration which gave half-maximal stimulation of Ca2+ inflow was substantially higher than that which gave half-maximal stimulation of Ca2+ release. The distribution of Ins(1,4,5)P3R1 and Ins(1,4,5)P3R2 in rat hepatocytes cultured under the same conditions as those employed for the measurement of Ca2+ inflow and release was determined by immunofluorescence. Ins(1,4,5)-P3R1s were found predominantly at the cell periphery, whereas Ins(1,4,5)P3R2s were found at the cell periphery, the cell interior and nucleus. It is concluded that the idea that a small region of the endoplasmic reticulum enriched in Ins(1,4,5)P3R1 is required for the activation of SOCs is consistent with the present results for hepatocytes.

Abstract
[Ca(2+)](i) oscillations can either depend on oscillatory inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) formation by phospholipase C (PLC) or rely on local feedback mechanisms involving the InsP(3) receptor. To assess the PLC activity underlying carbachol-induced [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in single HEK293 cells, we co-imaged [Ca(2+)](i) with fluorescent fusion proteins of protein kinase C (PKC) isotypes and the PH domain of PLC-delta 1 (PLC-delta 1(PH)). The translocation of PKC alpha-YFP in single cells followed two discrete patterns. Upon maximally effective agonist concentrations, a fast association and delayed dissociation (k(on)>k(off)) was the predominant pattern. The delayed dissociation has been linked to diacylglycerol formation. Upon stimulation with submaximally effective agonist concentrations as well as during regenerative [Ca(2+)](i) waves, we mainly observed short translocations with k(on) approximately equal to k(off). Translocation time courses and efficiencies of the diacylglycerol-sensing PKC epsilon-CFP and the InsP(3)/phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-sensing YFP-PLC-delta 1(PH) were closely correlated. Significant PLC activity was only detectable upon strong receptor stimulation, which typically failed to trigger [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations. During [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations induced by submaximal receptor stimulation, YFP-PLC-delta 1(PH) did not translocate, whereas a fluorescent PKC epsilon fusion protein has been reported to exhibit a slow, non-oscillatory accumulation at the plasma membrane. We conclude that carbachol-induced [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in HEK293 cells develop at low levels of presumably non-oscillatory PLC activity.

Abstract
D-6-Deoxy-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [D-6-deoxy-Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4)] 3 is a novel deoxygenated analogue of D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4)] 2, a central and enigmatic molecule in the polyphosphoinositide pathway of cellular signalling. D-6-Deoxy-Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) is a moderate inhibitor of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 5-phosphatase [1.8microM] compared to Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) [0.15microM] and similar to that of L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) [1.8microM]. In displacement of [(3)H] Ins(1,4,5)P(3) from the rat cerebellar Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor, while slightly weaker [IC(50)=800nM] than that of D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) [IC(50)=220nM], 3 is less markedly different and again similar to that of L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) [IC(50)=660nM]. 3 is an activator of I(CRAC) when inward currents are measured in RBL-2H3-M1 cells using patch-clamp electrophysiological techniques with a facilitation curve different to that of Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4). Physicochemical properties were studied by potentiometric (31)P and (1)H NMR titrations and were similar to those of Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) apart from the observation of a biphasic titration curve for the P1 phosphate group. A novel vicinal phosphate charge-induced conformational change of the inositol ring above pH 10 was observed for D-6-deoxy-Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) that would normally be hindered because of the central stabilising role played by the 6-OH group in Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4). We conclude that the 6-OH group in Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) is crucial for its physicochemical behaviour and biological properties of this key inositol phosphate.

Abstract
The one or more coupling mechanisms of store-operated channels (SOCs) to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store depletion as well as the molecular identity of SOCs per se still remain a mystery. Here, we demonstrate the co-existence of two populations of molecular distinct endogenous SOCs in LNCaP prostate cancer epithelial cells, which are preferentially activated by either active inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated or passive thapsigargin-facilitated store depletion and have different ER store content sensitivity. The first population, called SOC(CC) (for "conformational coupling"), is characterized by preferential IP3 receptor-dependent mode of activation, as judged from sensitivity to cytoskeleton modifications, and dominant contribution of transient receptor potential (TRP) TRPC1 within it. The second one, called SOC(CIF) (for "calcium influx factor"), depends on Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A2 for activation with probable CIF involvement and is mostly represented by TRPC4. The previously identified SOC constituent in LNCaP cells, TRPV6, seems to play equal role in both SOC populations. These results provide new insight into the nature of SOCs and their representation in the single cell type as well as permit reconciliation of current SOC activation hypotheses.

Abstract
Mitochondria have been found to sequester and release Ca2+ during cell stimulation with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate-generating agonists, thereby generating subplasmalemmal microdomains of low Ca2+ that sustain activity of capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE). Procedures that prevent mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake inhibit local Ca2+ buffering and CCE, but it is not clear whether Ca2+ has to transit through or remains trapped in the mitochondria. Thus, we analyzed the contribution of mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux on the ability of mitochondria to buffer subplasmalemmal Ca2+, to maintain CCE, and to facilitate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) refilling in endothelial cells. Upon the addition of histamine, the initial mitochondrial Ca2+ transient, monitored with ratio-metric-pericam-mitochondria, was largely independent of extracellular Ca2+. However, subsequent removal of extracellular Ca2+ produced a reversible decrease in [Ca2+]mito, indicating that Ca2+ was continuously taken up and released by mitochondria, although [Ca2+]mito had returned to basal levels. Accordingly, inhibition of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger with CGP 37157 increased [Ca2+]mito and abolished the ability of mitochondria to buffer subplasmalemmal Ca2+, resulting in an increased activity of BKCa channels and a decrease in CCE. Hence, CGP 37157 also reversibly inhibited ER refilling during cell stimulation. These effects of CGP 37157 were mimicked if mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was prevented with oligomycin/antimycin A. Thus, during cell stimulation a continuous Ca2+ flux through mitochondria underlies the ability of mitochondria to generate subplasmalemmal microdomains of low Ca2+, to facilitate CCE, and to relay Ca2+ from the plasma membrane to the ER.

Abstract
The reciprocal regulation of noncapacitative and capacitative (or store-operated) Ca2+ entry in nonexcitable cells (Mignen, O., Thompson, J. L., and Shuttleworth, T. J. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 35676-35683) represents a switching between two distinct Ca2+-selective channels: the noncapacitative arachidonate-regulated Ca2+ channels (ARC channels) and the store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOC channels). This switch is directly associated with the change from oscillatory to sustained Ca2+ signals as agonist concentrations increase and involves a Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the ARC channels. Here we show that this process is mediated via a calcineurin-dependent inhibition of the noncapacitative ARC channels. Pharmacological and molecular inhibition of calcineurin activity (using cyclosporin or the FK506 analogue ascomycin, and a transfected C-terminal domain of the calcineurin inhibitory protein CAIN, respectively) results in a complete reversal of the Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the ARC channels. Agonist concentrations that result in oscillatory Ca2+ signals and specifically activate Ca2+ entry through the ARC channels fail to increase calcineurin activity. However, agonist concentrations that activate the store-operated Ca2+ channels and produce prolonged increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations increase calcineurin activity. Thus, calcineurin is the key mediator of the reciprocal regulation of these co-existing channels, allowing each to play a unique and non-overlapping role in Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
The characteristics and properties of the increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] that occurs in bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells on exposure to angiotensin 11 have been investigated. In fura-2 loaded cells exposure to a maximally effective concentration of angiotensin II (100 nM) caused a rapid, but transient increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] followed by a lower plateau that was sustained as long as external Ca2+ was present. In the absence of external Ca2+ only the initial brief transient was observed. In cells previously treated with thapsigargin in Ca2+-free medium to deplete the internal Ca2+ stores, angiotensin II caused no increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] when external Ca2+ was absent. Reintroduction of external Ca2+ to thapsigargin-treated, store-depleted cells caused a sustained increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] that was not further increased upon exposure to angiotensin II. Analysis of the data suggests that in bovine chromaffin cells angiotensin II causes Ca2+ entry via a pathway(s) activated as a consequence of internal store mobilization, and entry through this pathway(s) forms the majority of the sustained Ca2+ influx evoked by angiotensin II.

Abstract
Stimulation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) activates Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane, which is a key triggering event for the T-cell-associated immune response. We show that TRPC3 channels are important for the TCR-dependent Ca2+ entry pathway. The TRPC3 gene was found to be damaged in human T-cell mutants defective in Ca2+ influx. Mutations of the TRPC3 gene were accompanied by changes of TRPC3 gene expression. Introduction of the complete human TRPC3 cDNA into those mutants rescued Ca2+ currents as well as TCR-dependent Ca2+ signals. Our data provide the initial step toward understanding the molecular nature of endogenous Ca2+ channels participating in T-cell activation and put forward TRPC3 as a new target for modulating the immune response.

Abstract
The store-operated calcium-release-activated calcium current, I (CRAC), is a major mechanism for calcium entry into non-excitable cells. I (CRAC) refills calcium stores and permits sustained calcium signalling. The relationship between inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R)-containing stores and I (CRAC) is not understood. A model of global InsP(3)R store depletion coupling with I (CRAC) activation may be simplistic, since intracellular stores are heterogeneous in their release and refilling activities. Here we use a ligand-gated calcium channel, TRPV1 (transient receptor potential channel, vanilloid subfamily member 1), as a new tool to probe store heterogeneity and define intracellular calcium compartments in a mast cell line. TRPV1 has activity as an intracellular release channel but does not mediate global calcium store depletion and does not invade a store coupled with I (CRAC). Intracellular TRPV1 localizes to a subset of the InsP(3)R-containing stores. TRPV1 sensitivity functionally subdivides the InsP(3)-sensitive store, as does heterogeneity in the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase isoforms responsible for store refilling. These results provide unequivocal evidence that a specific 'CRAC store' exists within the InsP(3)-releasable calcium stores and describe a novel methodology for manipulation of intracellular free calcium.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, hormones and neurotransmitters that engage the phosphoinositide pathway evoke a biphasic increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration: an initial transient release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores is followed by a sustained phase of Ca2+ influx. This influx is generally store-dependent and is required for controlling a host of Ca2+-dependent processes ranging from exocytosis to cell growth and proliferation. In many cell types, store-operated Ca2+ entry is manifest as a non-voltage-gated Ca2+ current called ICRAC (Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current). Just how store emptying activates CRAC channels remains unclear, and some of our recent experiments that address this issue will be described. No less important from a physiological perspective is the weak Ca2+ buffer paradox: whereas macroscopic (whole cell) ICRAC can be measured routinely in the presence of strong intracellular Ca2+ buffer, the current is generally not detectable under physiological conditions of weak buffering following store emptying with the second messenger InsP3. In this review, I describe some of our experiments aimed at understanding just why InsP3 is ineffective under these conditions and which lead us to conclude that respiring mitochondria are essential for the activation of ICRAC in weak intracellular Ca2+ buffer. Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake also increases the dynamic range over which InsP3 functions as the second messenger that controls Ca2+ influx. Finally, we find that Ca2+-dependent slow inactivation of Ca2+ influx, a widespread but poorly understood phenomenon that helps shape the profile of an intracellular Ca2+ signal, is regulated by mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering. Thus, by enabling macroscopic store-operated Ca2+ current to activate and then by controlling its extent and duration, mitochondria play a crucial role in all stages of store-operated Ca2+ influx. Store-operated Ca2+ entry reflects therefore a dynamic interplay between endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and plasma membrane.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) channels, which are activated by the emptying of intracellular Ca(2+) stores, provide one major route for Ca(2+) influx. Under physiological conditions of weak intracellular Ca(2+) buffering, the ubiquitous Ca(2+) releasing messenger InsP(3) usually fails to activate any store-operated Ca(2+) entry unless mitochondria are maintained in an energized state. Mitochondria rapidly take up Ca(2+) that has been released by InsP(3), enabling stores to empty sufficiently for store-operated channels to activate. Here, we report a novel role for mitochondria in regulating store-operated channels under physiological conditions. Mitochondrial depolarization suppresses store-operated Ca(2+) influx independently of how stores are depleted. This role for mitochondria is unrelated to their actions on promoting InsP(3)-sensitive store depletion, can be distinguished from Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of the store-operated channels and does not involve changes in intracellular ATP, oxidants, cytosolic acidification, nitric oxide or the permeability transition pore, but is suppressed when mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake is impaired. Our results suggest that mitochondria may have a more fundamental role in regulating store-operated influx and raise the possibility of bidirectional Ca(2+)-dependent crosstalk between mitochondria and store-operated Ca(2+) channels.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors from cerebellum and recombinant type 1 IP(3) receptors expressed in Sf9 cells had indistinguishable affinities for IP(3) ( K (d)=6.40+/-0.48 nM) and adenophostin A ( K (d)=0.89+/-0.05 nM). In cytosol-like medium, each of the three mammalian IP(3) receptor subtypes when expressed in Sf9 cells bound adenophostin A with greater affinity than IP(3). It has been suggested that adenophostin A binds with high affinity only in the presence of ATP, but we found that adenophostin A similarly displaced [(3)H]IP(3) from type 1 IP(3) receptors whatever the ATP concentration. N-terminal fragments of the type 1 receptor were expressed with and without the S1 splice site; its removal had no effect on [(3)H]IP(3) binding to the 1-604 protein, but abolished binding to the 224-604 protein. The 1-604 fragment and full-length receptor bound adenophostin A with the same affinity, but the fragment had 3-fold greater affinity for IP(3), suggesting that C-terminal residues selectively inhibit IP(3) binding. The 224-604S1(+) fragment bound IP(3) and adenophostin A with increased affinity, but as with the 1-604 fragment it bound adenophostin A with only 2-fold greater affinity than IP(3). High-affinity binding of adenophostin A may be partially determined by its 2'-phosphate interacting more effectively than the 1-phosphate of IP(3) with residues within the IP(3)-binding core. This may account for the 2-fold greater affinity of adenophostin A relative to IP(3) for the minimal IP(3)-binding domain. In addition we suggest that C-terminal residues, which impede access of IP(3), may selectively interact with adenophostin A to allow it unhindered access to the IP(3)-binding domain.

Abstract
In addition to its homeostatic role of maintaining low resting levels of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+](i)), the plasma-membrane calcium-ATPase (PMCA) may actively contribute to the generation of complex Ca2+ signals. We have investigated the role of the PMCA in shaping Ca2+ signals in Jurkat human leukaemic T cells using single-cell voltage-clamp and calcium-imaging techniques. Crosslinking the T-cell receptor with the monoclonal antibody OKT3 induces a biphasic elevation in [Ca2+](i) consisting of a rapid overshoot to a level > 1 microM, followed by a slow decay to a plateau of approximately 0.5 microM. A similar overshoot was triggered by a constant level of Ca2+ influx through calcium-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels in thapsigargin-treated cells, due to a delayed increase in the rate of Ca2+ clearance by the PMCA. Following a rise in [Ca2+](i), PMCA activity increased in two phases: a rapid increase followed by a further calcium-dependent increase of up to approximately fivefold over 10-60 s, termed modulation. After the return of [Ca2+](i) to baseline levels, the PMCA recovered slowly from modulation (tau approximately 4 min), effectively retaining a 'memory' of the previous [Ca2+](i) elevation. Using a Michaelis-Menten model with appropriate corrections for cytoplasmic Ca2+ buffering, we found that modulation extended the dynamic range of PMCA activity by increasing both the maximal pump rate and Ca2+ sensitivity (reduction of K(M)). A simple flux model shows how pump modulation and its reversal produce the initial overshoot of the biphasic [Ca2+](i) response. The modulation of PMCA activity enhanced the stability of Ca2+ signalling by adjusting the efflux rate to match influx through CRAC channels, even at high [Ca2+](i) levels that saturate the transport sites and would otherwise render the cell defenceless against additional Ca2+ influx. At the same time, the delay in modulation enables small Ca2+ fluxes to transiently elevate [Ca2+](i), thus enhancing Ca2+ signalling dynamics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regulation of preglomerular vasomotor tone vessels ultimately control glomerular filtration rate, sodium reabsorption and systemic blood pressure. To gain insight into the complex renal hemodynamic factors that may result in hypertension, we studied calcium signaling pathways. METHODS Fresh, single, preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) were isolated from 5- to 6-week-old SHR and WKY utilizing a magnetized microsphere/sieving technique. Cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) was measured with fura-2 ratiometric fluorescence. To examine store-operated calcium entry (SOC), VSMC were activated in calcium-free buffer containing nifedipine. To deplete the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of Ca2+, vasopressin-1 receptor agonist [V1R; inositol trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated mobilization], ryanodine (non-IP3 induced mobilization), and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA; Ca2+-ATPase inhibition) were utilized. Addition of external calcium followed by quenching of the fura/Ca2+ signal with Mn2+ permitted assessment of divalent cation entry via SOC. RESULTS V1R caused greater mobilization in SHR than WKY (P < 0.01) as well as greater calcium entry (P < 0.001). Ryanodine and CPA both caused SR calcium depletion that was not statistically different between strains, but absolute calcium entry through SOC was more than double in SHR following either maneuver (P < 0.001). 2-Amino-ethoxybiphenyl borane (2-APB), an inhibitor not only of IP3 receptors, but also of SOC, blocked calcium entry in the ryanodine and CPA experiments independent of IP3. As well, Gd3+, a selective inhibitor of SOC, inhibited the Ca2+ response. We also studied L-channel calcium entry stimulated by V1R. The total calcium response was greater in SHR as was the absolute inhibition by nifedipine. As a percent of the total response, participation of L-type channels sensitive to nifedipine was about 45% in both strains of rat. CONCLUSION Utilizing three separate mechanisms to deplete the SR of Ca2+ in order to activate SOC, we show for the first time, that SOC is exaggerated in preglomerular VSMC of young SHR.

Abstract
Rat basophilic leukaemia cells (RBL-2H3-M1) were used to study the characteristics of the store-operated Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current (I(CRAC)) and the magnesium-nucleotide-regulated metal cation current (MagNuM) (which is conducted by the LTRPC7 channel). Pipette solutions containing 10 mM BAPTA and no added ATP induced both currents in the same cell, but the time to half-maximal activation for MagNuM was about two to three times slower than that of I(CRAC). Differential suppression of I(CRAC) was achieved by buffering free [Ca(2+)](i) to 90 nM and selective inhibition of MagNuM was accomplished by intracellular solutions containing 6 mM Mg.ATP, 1.2 mM free [Mg(2+)](i) or 100 microM GTP-gamma-S, allowing investigations on these currents in relative isolation. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) caused both currents to be carried significantly by monovalent ions. In the absence or presence of free [Mg(2+)](i), I(CRAC) carried by monovalent ions inactivated more rapidly and more completely than MagNuM carried by monovalent ions. Since several studies have used divalent-free solutions on either side of the membrane to study selectivity and single-channel behaviour of I(CRAC), these experimental conditions would have favoured the contribution of MagNuM to monovalent conductance and call for caution in interpreting results where both I(CRAC) and MagNuM are activated.

Abstract
Antiapoptotic oncoprotein Bcl-2 has extramitochondrial actions due to its localization on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, the specific mechanisms of such actions remain unclear. Here we show that Bcl-2 overexpression in LNCaP prostate cancer epithelial cells results in downregulation of store-operated Ca(2+) current by decreasing the number of functional channels and inhibiting ER Ca(2+) uptake through a reduction in the expression of calreticulin and SERCA2b, two key proteins controlling ER Ca(2+) content. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Ca(2+) store depletion by itself is not sufficient to induce apoptosis in Bcl-2 overexpressing cells, and that sustained Ca(2+) entry via activated store-operated channels (SOCs) is required as well. Our data therefore suggest the pivotal role of SOCs in apoptosis and cancer progression.

Abstract
In non-excitable cells, the major Ca2+ entry pathway is the store-operated pathway in which emptying of intracellular Ca2+ stores activates Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. In many cell types, store-operated influx gives rise to a Ca2+-selective current called I(CRAC) (Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current). Using both the whole-cell patch clamp technique to measure I(CRAC) directly and fluorescent Ca2+ imaging, we have examined the role of the lipo-oxygenase pathway in the activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry in the RBL-1 rat basophilic leukaemia cell-line. Pretreatment with a variety of structurally distinct lipo-oxygenase inhibitors all reduced the extent of I(CRAC), whereas inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes was without effect. The inhibition was still seen in the presence of the broad protein kinase blocker staurosporine, or when Na+ was used as the charge carrier through CRAC channels. The lipo-oxygenase blockers released Ca2+ from intracellular stores but this was not associated with subsequent Ca2+ entry. Lipo-oxygenase blockers also reduced both the amount of Ca2+ that could subsequently be released by the combination of thapsigargin and ionomycin in Ca2+-free solution and the Ca2+ influx component that occurred when external Ca2+ was re-admitted. The inhibitors were much less effective if applied after I(CRAC) had been activated. This inhibition of I(CRAC) could not be rescued by dialysis with 5(S)-hydroxyperoxyeicosa-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z,tetraenoic acid (5-HPETE), the first product of the 5-lipo-oxygenase pathway. Our findings indicate that exposure to pharmacological tools that inhibit the lipo-oxygenase enzymes all decrease the extent of activation of the current. Our results raise the possibility that a lipo-oxygenase might be involved in the activation of I(CRAC). Alternative explanations are also discussed.

Abstract
Under physiological conditions of weak intracellular Ca(2+) buffering (0.1 mM EGTA), the second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P(3) often fails to activate any detectable store-operated Ca(2+) current. However, it has been reported that the fungal metabolite adenophostin A [which has a severalfold higher affinity than Ins(1,4,5)P(3) for Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors] consistently activates the current under similar conditions. Here, whole-cell patch clamp experiments have been performed to examine how adenophostin A can activate the store-operated Ca(2+) current (I(CRAC)) in RBL-1 (rat basophilic leukaemia) cells. In a strong intracellular Ca(2+) buffer, saturating concentrations of adenophostin A activated I(CRAC) maximally and the current amplitude and kinetics were indistinguishable from those obtained with high concentrations of Ins(1,4,5)P(3). In a weak Ca(2+) buffer, adenophostin A consistently activated I(CRAC), but the current was submaximal. High concentrations of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) or the non-metabolizable analogue Ins(2,4,5)P(3) were largely ineffective under these conditions. The size of I(CRAC) to adenophostin A in weak Ca(2+) buffer could be significantly increased by either inhibiting sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase ('SERCA') pumps with thapsi-gargin or enhancing mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake, although blocking the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter with Ruthenium Red did not suppress the activation of the current. Changing the levels of free ATP in the recording pipette did not enhance the size of I(CRAC) evoked by adenophostin A. We also examined two structurally distinct analogues of adenophostin A (manno-adenophostin and ribophostin), for which the affinities for the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor are similar to that of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) in equilibrium binding experiments. Although these analogues were able to activate I(CRAC) to its maximal extent in strong buffer, ribophostin, but not manno-adenophostin, consistently activated the current in weak buffer. We conclude that adenophostin A and ribophostin are able to activate I(CRAC) in weak buffer through a mechanism that is quite distinct from that employed by Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and manno-adenophostin and is not related to equilibrium affinities.

Abstract
We studied the opening mechanism of Ca(2+)-permeable channels formed with mouse transient receptor potential type 5 (mTRP5) using Xenopus oocytes. After stimulation of coexpressed muscarinic M(1) receptors with acetylcholine (ACh) in a Ca(2+)-free solution, switching to 2 mM Ca(2+)-containing solution evoked a large Cl(-) current, which reflects the opening of endogenous Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) channels following Ca(2+) entry through the expressed channels. The ACh-evoked response was not affected by a depletion of Ca(2+) store with thapsigargin but was inhibited by preinjection of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) to G(q), G(11), or both. The mTRP5 channel response was also induced by a direct activation of G proteins with injection of guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S). The ACh- and GTP gamma S-evoked responses were inhibited by either pretreatment with a phospholipase C inhibitor, U73122, or an inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor inhibitor, xestospongin C (XeC). An activation of IP(3) receptors with injection of adenophostin A (AdA) evoked the mTRP5 channel response in a dose-dependent manner. The AdA-evoked response was not suppressed by preinjection of antisense ODNs to G(q/11) or U73122 but was suppressed by either preinjection of XeC or a peptide mimicking the IP(3) binding domain of Xenopus IP(3) receptor. These findings suggest that the activation of IP(3) receptor is essential for the opening of mTRP5 channels, and that neither G proteins, phosphoinositide metabolism, nor depletion of the Ca(2+) store directly modifies the IP(3) receptor-linked opening of mTRP5 channels.

Abstract
Receptor-activated Ca(2+) entry is usually thought to occur via capacitative or store-operated Ca(2+) channels. However, at physiological levels of stimulation, where Ca(2+) store depletion is only transient and/or partial, evidence has suggested that an arachidonic acid-dependent noncapacitative Ca(2+) entry is responsible. Recently, we have described a novel arachidonate-regulated Ca(2+)-selective (ARC) conductance that is entirely distinct from store-operated conductances in the same cell. We now show that these ARC channels are indeed specifically activated by low agonist concentrations and provide the predominant route of Ca(2+) entry under these conditions. We further demonstrate that sustained elevations in cytosolic Ca(2+), such as those resulting from activation of store-operated Ca(2+) entry by high agonist concentrations, inhibit the ARC channels. This explains earlier failures to detect the presence of this noncapacitative pathway in experiments where store-operated entry had already been fully activated. The result is that the respective activities of ARC and store-operated Ca(2+) channels display a unique reciprocal regulation that is related to the specific nature of the [Ca(2+)](i) signals generated at different agonist concentrations. Importantly, these data show that at physiologically relevant levels of stimulation, it is the noncapacitative ARC channels that provide the predominant route for the agonist-activated entry of Ca(2+).

Abstract
We examined the single channel properties and regulation of store-operated calcium channels (SOCC). In human submandibular gland cells, carbachol (CCh) induced flickery channel activity while thapsigargin (Tg) induced burst-like activity, with relatively lower open probability (NP(o)) and longer mean open time. Tg- and CCh-activated channels were permeable to Na(+) and Ba(2+), but not to NMDG, in the absence of Ca(2+). The channels exhibited similar Ca(2+), Na(+), and Ba(2+) conductances and were inhibited by 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate, xestospongin C, Gd(3+), and La(3+). CCh stimulated flickery activity changed to burst-like activity by (i) addition of Tg, (ii) using Na(+) instead of Ca(2+), (iii) using Ca(2+)-free bath solution, or (iv) buffering [Ca(2+)](i) with BAPTA-AM. Buffering [Ca(2+)](i) induced a 2-fold increase in NP(o) of Tg-stimulated SOCC. Reducing free [Ca(2+)] in the endoplasmic reticulum with the divalent cation chelator, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN), induced burst-like channel activity similar to that seen with CCh + Tg. Thus, SOCC is activated by stimulation of muscarinic receptors, inhibition of the sarcoendoplasmic Ca(2+) pump, and lowering [Ca(2+)] in the internal store. Importantly, SOCC activity depends on [Ca(2+)](i) and the free [Ca(2+)] in the internal store. These novel findings reveal that SERCA plays a major role in the gating of SOCC by (i) refilling the internal Ca(2+) store(s) and (ii) decreasing the [Ca(2+)](i)-dependent inhibition.

Abstract
Influx of calcium into cells following stimulation of cell surface receptors is a key process controlling cellular activity. However, despite intensive research, there is still no consensus on precisely how calcium entry is controlled in electrically no n-excitable cells. In particular, the regulation of depletion-activated or 'capacitative' calcium entry continues to be a focus of debate. Work published in the last 2 years has lent new impetus to the so-called 'conformational coupling' theory, although evidence for the existence of soluble messengers between the ER and the plasma membrane also continues to appear. In addition, there remains disagreement on whether intra-store [Ca(2+)] has to fall below a threshold before Ca(2+)entry is activated. A further major question is the identity of the putative depletion-operated Ca(2+)channel or channels. Here discussion has largely focussed on whether homologue(s) of the Drosophila TRP ('Transient Receptor Potential') protein is/are the elusive channel, or at least a part of it. Finally, it remains possible that Ca(2+)entry mechanisms other than depletion-activated channels may be important in agonist-evoked Ca(2+)influx. This commentary summarizes recent developments in the field, and highlights both current debates and critical unsolved questions.

Abstract
In a manner similar to voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels, the recently identified arachidonate-regulated Ca(2+) (ARC) channels display a large monovalent conductance upon removal of external divalent cations. Using whole-cell patch-clamp recording, we have characterized the properties of these monovalent currents in HEK293 cells stably transfected with the m3 muscarinic receptor and compared them with the corresponding currents through the endogenous store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) channels in the same cells. Although the monovalent currents seen through these two channels displayed certain similarities, several marked differences were also apparent, including the magnitude of the monovalent current/Ca(2+) current ratio, the rate and nature of the spontaneous decline in the currents, and the effects of external monovalent cation substitutions and removal of internal Mg(2+). Moreover, monovalent ARC currents could be activated after the complete spontaneous inactivation of the corresponding SOC current in the same cell. We conclude that the non-capacitative ARC channels share, with voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and store-operated Ca(2+) channels (e.g. SOC and CRAC the general property of monovalent ion permeation in the nominal absence of extracellular divalent ions. However, the clear differences between the properties of these currents through ARC and SOC channels in the same cell confirm that these represent distinct conductances.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, activation of cell surface receptors that couple to the phosphoinositide pathway evokes a biphasic increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration: an initial transient phase reflecting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, followed by a plateau phase due to Ca2+ influx. A major component of this Ca2+ influx is store-dependent and often can be measured directly as the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current (I(CRAC)). Under physiological conditions of weak intracellular Ca2+ buffering, respiring mitochondria play a central role in store-operated Ca2+ influx. They determine whether macroscopic I(CRAC) activates or not, to what extent and for how long. Here we describe an additional role for energized mitochondria: they reduce the amount of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) that is required to activate I(CRAC). By increasing the sensitivity of store-operated influx to InsP3, respiring mitochondria will determine whether modest levels of stimulation are capable of evoking Ca2+ entry or not. Mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering therefore increases the dynamic range of concentrations over which the InsP3 is able to function as the physiological messenger that triggers the activation of store-operated Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
Darier's disease (DD) is a high penetrance, autosomal dominant mutation in the ATP2A2 gene, which encodes the SERCA2 Ca2+ pump. Here we have used a mouse model of DD, a SERCA2(+/-) mouse, to define the adaptation of Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+-dependent exocytosis to a deletion of one copy of the SERCA2 gene. The [Ca2+]i transient evoked by maximal agonist stimulation was shorter in cells from SERCA2(+/-) mice, due to an up-regulation of specific plasma membrane Ca2+ pump isoforms. The change in cellular Ca2+ handling caused approximately 50% reduction in [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency. Nonetheless, agonist-stimulated exocytosis was identical in cells from wild-type and SERCA2(+/-) mice. This was due to adaptation in the levels of the Ca2+ sensors for exocytosis synaptotagmins I and III in cells from SERCA2(+/-) mice. Accordingly, exocytosis was approximately 10-fold more sensitive to Ca2+ in cells from SERCA2(+/-) mice. These findings reveal a remarkable plasticity and adaptability of Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+-dependent cellular functions in vivo, and can explain the normal function of most physiological systems in DD patients.

Abstract
Neutrophils signal Ca2+ changes in response to occupancy of G-protein-linked receptors such as the formylated peptide receptor. This Ca2+ signal is composed of two parts, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-triggered release of Ca2+ from an intracellular store and Ca2+ influx. In order to probe the relationship between these events, cytosolic free Ca2+ changes in neutrophils were monitored after micro-injection of agents which inhibit IP3 binding. Micro-injection of heparin into neutrophils totally inhibited both formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine-induced Ca2+ release and the subsequent Ca2+ influx. This effect was not due to prior depletion of Ca2+ stores. Furthermore, micro-injection with anti-IP3-receptor antibody also inhibited Ca2+ release. However, anti-IP3-receptor antibody and another high-molecular-mass IP3-binding antagonist, heparin-albumin conjugate, failed to inhibit the accompanying Ca2+ influx. It was concluded that two IP3-binding sites exist in neutrophils: one accessible by both heparin and the high-molecular-mass inhibitors of IP3 binding and responsible for Ca2+ release, and another inaccessible to high-molecular-mass molecules and responsible for Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptor (InsP(3)R) is a ligand-gated intracellular Ca(2+) release channel that plays a central role in modulating cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). The fungal metabolite adenophostin A (AdA) is a potent agonist of the InsP(3)R that is structurally different from InsP(3) and elicits distinct calcium signals in cells. We have investigated the effects of AdA and its analogues on single-channel activities of the InsP(3)R in the outer membrane of isolated Xenopus laevis oocyte nuclei. InsP(3)R activated by either AdA or InsP(3) have identical channel conductance properties. Furthermore, AdA, like InsP(3), activates the channel by tuning Ca(2+) inhibition of gating. However, gating of the AdA-liganded InsP(3)R has a critical dependence on cytoplasmic ATP free acid concentration not observed for InsP(3)-liganded channels. Channel gating activated by AdA is indistinguishable from that elicited by InsP(3) in the presence of 0.5 mM ATP, although the functional affinity of the channel is 60-fold higher for AdA. However, in the absence of ATP, gating kinetics of AdA-liganded InsP(3)R were very different. Channel open time was reduced by 50%, resulting in substantially lower maximum open probability than channels activated by AdA in the presence of ATP, or by InsP(3) in the presence or absence of ATP. Also, the higher functional affinity of InsP(3)R for AdA than for InsP(3) is nearly abolished in the absence of ATP. Low affinity AdA analogues furanophostin and ribophostin activated InsP(3)R channels with gating properties similar to those of AdA. These results provide novel insights for interpretations of observed effects of AdA on calcium signaling, including the mechanisms that determine the durations of elementary Ca(2+) release events in cells. Comparisons of single-channel gating kinetics of the InsP(3)R activated by InsP(3), AdA, and its analogues also identify molecular elements in InsP(3)R ligands that contribute to binding and activation of channel gating.

Abstract
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion from native and immortalized hypothalamic neurons is regulated by endogenous Ca(2+)-mobilizing and adenylyl cyclase (AC)-coupled receptors. Activation of both receptor types leads to an increase in action potential firing frequency and a rise in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and neuropeptide secretion. The stimulatory action of Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists on voltage-gated Ca(2+) influx is determined by depletion of the intracellular Ca(2+) pool, whereas AC agonist-stimulated Ca(2+) influx occurs independently of stored Ca(2+) and is controlled by cAMP, possibly through cyclic nucleotide-gated channels. Here, experimental records from immortalized GnRH-secreting neurons are simulated with a mathematical model to determine the requirements for generating complex membrane potential (V(m)) and [Ca(2+)](i) responses to Ca(2+)-mobilizing and AC agonists. Included in the model are three pacemaker currents: a store-operated Ca(2+) current (I(SOC)), an SK-type Ca(2+)-activated K(+) current (I(SK)), and an inward current that is modulated by cAMP and [Ca(2+)](i) (I(d)). Spontaneous electrical activity and Ca(2+) signaling in the model are predominantly controlled by I(d), which is activated by cAMP and inhibited by high [Ca(2+)](i). Depletion of the intracellular Ca(2+) pool mimics the receptor-induced activation of I(SOC) and I(SK), leading to an increase in the firing frequency and Ca(2+) influx after a transient cessation of electrical activity. However, increasing the activity of I(d) simulates the experimental response to forskolin-induced activation of AC. Analysis of the behaviors of I(SOC), I(d), and I(SK) in the model reveals the complexity in the interplay of these currents that is necessary to fully account for the experimental results.

Abstract
Whole-cell patch-clamp experiments were performed to examine the mechanism underlying the inability of intracellular Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to activate the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current (I(CRAC)) in rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL)-1 cells under conditions of weak cytoplasmic Ca(2+) buffering. Dialysis with Ins(1,4,5)P(3) in weak Ca(2+) buffer did not activate any macroscopic I(CRAC) even after precautions had been taken to minimize the extent of Ca(2+) entry during the experiment. Following intracellular dialysis with Ins(1,4,5)P(3) for >150 s in weak buffer, external application of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) pump blocker thapsigargin activated I(CRAC), and the current developed much more quickly than when thapsigargin was applied in the absence of Ins(1,4,5)P(3). This indicates that the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors had not inactivated much over this timecourse. When external Ca(2+) was replaced by Ba(2+), Ins(1,4,5)P(3) still failed to generate any detectable I(CRAC) even though Ba(2+) permeates CRAC channels and is not taken up into the intracellular Ca(2+) stores. In strong Ca(2+) buffer, I(CRAC) could be activated by muscarinic-receptor stimulation, provided protein kinase C (PKC) was blocked. In weak buffer, however, as with Ins(1,4,5)P(3), stimulation of these receptors with carbachol did not activate I(CRAC) even after inhibition of PKC. The inability of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to activate macroscopic I(CRAC) in weak Ca(2+) buffer was not altered by inhibition of Ca(2+)-dependent phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions. Our results suggest that the inability of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to activate I(CRAC) under conditions of weak intracellular Ca(2+) buffering is not due to strong inactivation of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors. Instead, a futile Ca(2+) cycle across the stores seems to be occurring and SERCA pumps resequester sufficient Ca(2+) to ensure that the threshold for activation of macroscopic I(CRAC) has not been exceeded.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) initiates Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and the subsequent activation of store-operated calcium influx. InsP3 is metabolized within seconds by 5-phosphatase and 3-kinase, yielding Ins(1,4)P2 and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4), respectively. Some studies have suggested that InsP4 controls Ca2+ influx in combination with InsP3 (refs 3 and 4), but another study did not find the same result. Some of the apparent conflicts between these previous studies have been resolved; however, the physiological function of InsP4 remains elusive. Here we have investigated the function of InsP4 in Ca2+ influx in the mast cell line RBL-2H3, and we show that InsP4 inhibits InsP3 metabolism through InsP3 5-phosphatase, thereby facilitating the activation of the store-operated Ca2+ current I(CRAC) (ref. 9). Physiologically, this mechanism opens a discriminatory time window for coincidence detection that enables selective facilitation of Ca2+ influx by appropriately timed low-level receptor stimulation. At higher concentrations, InsP4 acts as an inhibitor of InsP3 receptors, enabling InsP4 to act as a potent bi-modal regulator of cellular sensitivity to InsP3, which provides both facilitatory and inhibitory feedback on Ca2+ signalling.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, hormones and neurotransmitters that engage the phosphoinositide pathway evoke a biphasic increase in intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration: an initial transient release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores is followed by a sustained phase of Ca(2+) influx. This influx is generally store dependent. Most attention has focused on the link between the endoplasmic reticulum and store-operated Ca(2+) channels in the plasma membrane. Here, we describe that respiring mitochondria are also essential for the activation of macroscopic store-operated Ca(2+) currents under physiological conditions of weak intracellular Ca(2+) buffering. We further show that Ca(2+)-dependent slow inactivation of Ca(2+) influx, a widespread but poorly understood phenomenon, is regulated by mitochondrial buffering of cytosolic Ca(2+). Thus, by enabling macroscopic store-operated Ca(2+) current to activate, and then by controlling its extent and duration, mitochondria play a crucial role in all stages of store-operated Ca(2+) influx. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry reflects a dynamic interplay between endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and plasma membrane.

Abstract
The localization of various Ca(2+) transport and signaling proteins in secretory cells is highly restricted, resulting in polarized agonist-stimulated Ca(2+) waves. In the present work, we examined the possible roles of the Sec6/8 complex or the exocyst in polarized Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic acinar cells. Immunolocalization by confocal microscopy showed that the Sec6/8 complex is excluded from tight junctions and secretory granules in these cells. The Sec6/8 complex was found in at least two cellular compartments, part of the complex showed similar, but not identical, localization with the Golgi apparatus and part of the complex associated with Ca(2+) signaling proteins next to the plasma membrane at the apical pole. Accordingly, immunoprecipitation (IP) of Sec8 did not coimmunoprecipitate betaCOP, Golgi 58K protein, or mannosidase II, all Golgi-resident proteins. By contrast, IP of Sec8 coimmunoprecipitates Sec6, type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R3), and the Gbetagamma subunit of G proteins from pancreatic acinar cell extracts. Furthermore, the anti-Sec8 antibodies coimmunoprecipitate actin, Sec6, the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump, the G protein subunits Galphaq and Gbetagamma, the beta1 isoform of phospholipase C, and the ER resident IP(3)R1 from brain microsomal extracts. Antibodies against the various signaling and Ca(2+) transport proteins coimmunoprecipitate Sec8 and the other signaling proteins. Dissociation of actin filaments in the immunoprecipitate had no effect on the interaction between Sec6 and Sec8, but released the actin and dissociated the interaction between the Sec6/8 complex and Ca(2+) signaling proteins. Hence, the interaction between the Sec6/8 and Ca(2+) signaling complexes is likely mediated by the actin cytoskeleton. The anti-Sec6 and anti-Sec8 antibodies inhibited Ca(2+) signaling at a step upstream of Ca(2+) release by IP(3). Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton with latrunculin B in intact cells resulted in partial translocation of Sec6 and Sec8 from membranes to the cytosol and interfered with propagation of agonist-evoked Ca(2+) waves. Our results suggest that the Sec6/8 complex has multiple roles in secretory cells including governing the polarized expression of Ca(2+) signaling complexes and regulation of their activity.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) stores play a key role in norepinephrine (NE)-induced contraction of fetal and adult cerebral arteries and that Ca(2+) stores change with development, we performed the following study. In main branch middle cerebral arteries (MCA) from near-term fetal ( approximately 140 days) and nonpregnant adult sheep, we measured NE-induced contraction and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in the absence and presence of different blockers. In adult MCA, after thapsigargin (10(-6) M), the NE-induced responses of tension and [Ca(2+)](i) were 37 +/- 5 and 47 +/- 7%, respectively, of control values (P < 0.01 for each). In the fetal artery, in contrast, this treatment resulted in no significant changes from control. When this was repeated in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), adult MCA increases in tension and [Ca(2+)](i) were 32 +/- 5 and 13 +/- 3%, respectively, of control. Fetal cerebral arteries, however, showed essentially no response. Ryanodine (RYN, 3 x 10(-6) to 10(-5) M) resulted in increases in tension and [Ca(2+)](i) in both fetal and adult MCA similar to that seen with NE. For both adult and fetal MCA, the increased tension and [Ca(2+)](i) responses to RYN were essentially eliminated in the presence of zero extracellular Ca(2+). These findings provide evidence that in fetal MCA, in contrast to those in the adult, SR Ca(2+) stores are of less importance in NE-induced contraction, with such contraction being almost wholly dependent on Ca(2+) flux via plasma membrane L-type Ca(2+) channels. In addition, they suggest that in both adult and fetal MCA, the RYN receptor is coupled to the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel and/or L-type Ca(2+) channel.
