Abstract
Calcium influx through plasma membrane ion channels is crucial for many events in cellular physiology. Cell surface stimuli lead to the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which binds to IP3 receptors (IP3R) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to release calcium pools from the ER lumen. This leads to the depletion of ER calcium pools, which has been termed store depletion. Store depletion leads to the dissociation of calcium ions from the EF-hand motif of the ER calcium sensor Stromal Interaction Molecule 1 (STIM1). This leads to a conformational change in STIM1, which helps it to interact with the plasma membrane (PM) at ER:PM junctions. At these ER:PM junctions, STIM1 binds to and activates a calcium channel known as Orai1 to form calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels. Activation of Orai1 leads to calcium influx, known as store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). In addition to Orai1 and STIM1, the homologs of Orai1 and STIM1, such as Orai2/3 and STIM2, also play a crucial role in calcium homeostasis. The influx of calcium through the Orai channel activates a calcium current that has been termed the CRAC current. CRAC channels form multimers and cluster together in large macromolecular assemblies termed "puncta". How CRAC channels form puncta has been contentious since their discovery. In this review, we will outline the history of SOCE, the molecular players involved in this process, as well as the models that have been proposed to explain this critical mechanism in cellular physiology.

Abstract
Since the discovery of TRP proteins in 1969, during studies of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, interest around them and the subfamily of TRPC channels has remained high. TRPC3 was able to be detected in a number of organs in rodents, such as rats and mice, and also in various human tissues. For the most part, these investigations were carried out using gene expression of TRPC3. Further work has already confirmed the relevance of TRPC3 in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, such as spinocerebellar ataxia, and carcinogenic entities, such as ovarian carcinoma. An association with TRPC3 has also been demonstrated for diseases that affect the liver. In order to confirm the expression of TRPC3 in the human liver, this study uses samples taken from eight (n = 8) fixated human body donors and analyzed with immunohistochemistry. In accordance with the macroscopic anatomy of the organs, six samples (n = 6) of liver tissue and three (n = 3) of gallbladder tissue were obtained. TRPC3 was clearly detected in all liver and gallbladder samples examined. Thus, it is not unlikely that TRPC3 plays a role in the extensive metabolic processes of the liver and could also serve as a target for pharmacological interventions in an imbalance of calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3) channel is a non-selective cation permeable channel that plays an essential role in calcium signalling. TRPC3 is highly expressed in the brain and also found in endocrine tissues and smooth muscle cells. The channel is activated directly by binding of diacylglycerol downstream of G-protein coupled receptor activation. In addition, TRPC3 is regulated by endogenous factors including Ca2+ ions, other endogenous lipids, and interacting proteins. The molecular and structural mechanisms underlying activation and regulation of TRPC3 are incompletely understood. Recently, several high-resolution cryogenic electron microscopy structures of TRPC3 and the closely related channel TRPC6 have been resolved in different functional states and in the presence of modulators, coupled with mutagenesis studies and electrophysiological characterisation. Here, we review the recent literature which has advanced our understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying modulation of TRPC3 by both endogenous and exogenous factors. TRPC3 plays an important role in Ca2+ homeostasis and entry into cells throughout the body, and both pathological variants and downstream dysregulation of TRPC3 channels have been associated with a number of diseases. As such, TRPC3 may be a valuable therapeutic target, and understanding its regulatory mechanisms will aid future development of pharmacological modulators of the channel.

Hydrophobic interactions within the C terminus pole helices tunnel regulate calcium-dependent inactivation of TRPC3 in a calmodulin-dependent manner. Cell Calcium 2023; 109:102684.

Abstract
Recent structural studies have shown that the carboxyl-terminus of many TRP channels, including TRPC3, are folded into a horizontal rib helix that is connected to the vertical pole helix, which play roles in inter-structural interactions and multimerization. In a previous work we identified I807 located in the pole helix with a role in regulation of TRPC3 by STIM1 (Lee et al., 2014, Liu et al., 2022). To further determine the role of the pole helix in TRPC3 function, here we identified key hydrophobic residues in the pole helix that form tight tunnel-like structure and used mutations to probe their role in TRPC3 regulation by Ca2+ and Calmodulin. Our findings suggest that the hydrophobic starch formed by the I807-L818 residues has several roles, it modulates gating of TRPC3 by Ca2+, affects channel selectivity and the channel Ca2+ permeability. Mutations of I807, I811, L814 and L818 all attenuated the Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) of TRPC3, with I807 having the most prominent effect. The extent of modulation of the CDI depended on the degree of hydrophobicity of I807. Moreover, the TRPC3(I807S) mutant showed altered channel monovalent ion selectivity and increased Ca2+ permeability, without affecting the channel permeability to Mg2+ and Ba2+ and without changing the pore diameter. The CDI of TRPC3 was reduced by an inactive calmodulin mutant and by a pharmacological inhibitor of calmodulin, which was eliminated by the I807S mutation. Notably, deletion of STIM1 caused similar alteration of TRPC3 properties. Taken together, these findings reveal a role of the pole helix in CDI, in addition to its potential role in channel multimerization that required gating of TRPC3 by STIM1. Since all TRPC and most TRP channels have pole helix structures, our findings raise the possibility that the pole helix may have similar roles in all the TRP family.

Abstract
TRPC3, a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels, is a lipid-regulated, Ca2+-permeable channel that mediates essential components of the receptor evoked Ca2+ signal. The modes and mechanisms by which lipids regulate TRPC3 and other members of the TRPC channel family are not well understood. Here, we report that PI(4,5)P2 regulates TRPC3 in three independent modes. PLC-dependent hydrolysis generates diacylglycerol (DAG) that interacts with lipid-binding site 2 in the channel pore. PI(4,5)P2 interacts with lipid site 1 to inhibit TRPC3 opening and regulate access of DAG to the pore lipid site 2. PI(4,5)P2 is required for regulating pore ionic selectivity by receptor stimulation. Notably, the activation and regulation of TRPC3 by PI(4,5)P2 require recruitment of TRPC3 to the ER/PM junctions at a PI(4,5)P2-rich domain. Accordingly, we identified an FFAT site at the TRPC3 N-terminal loop within the linker helices that envelope the C-terminus pole helix. The FFAT site interacts with the ER-resident VAPB to recruit TRPC3 to the ER/PM junctions and control its receptor-mediated activation. The TRPC3’s lipid interacting sites are fully conserved in TRPC6 and TRPC7 and in part in other TRPC channels. These findings inform on multiple modes of regulation of ion channels by lipids that may be relevant to diseases affected by aberrant TRPC channel functions.

TRPC3 shapes the ER-mitochondria Ca 2+ transfer characterizing tumour-promoting senescence. Nat Commun 2022; 13:956.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is implicated in a great number of diseases including cancer. Although alterations in mitochondrial metabolism were reported as senescence drivers, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We report the mechanism altering mitochondrial function and OXPHOS in stress-induced senescent fibroblasts. We demonstrate that TRPC3 protein, acting as a controller of mitochondrial Ca2+ load via negative regulation of IP3 receptor-mediated Ca2+ release, is down regulated in senescence regardless of the type of senescence inducer. This remodelling promotes cytosolic/mitochondrial Ca2+ oscillations and elevates mitochondrial Ca2+ load, mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and oxidative phosphorylation. Re-expression of TRPC3 in senescent cells diminishes mitochondrial Ca2+ load and promotes escape from OIS-induced senescence. Cellular senescence evoked by TRPC3 downregulation in stromal cells displays a proinflammatory and tumour-promoting secretome that encourages cancer epithelial cell proliferation and tumour growth in vivo. Altogether, our results unravel the mechanism contributing to pro-tumour behaviour of senescent cells. Mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis is reported to influence cellular senescence. Here the authors show that TRPC3 limits senescence by inhibiting IP3R-mediated Ca2+ release and ER mitochondria Ca2+ transfer and that the downregulation of TRPC3 in stromal cells affects SASP production and tumour progression.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and multifactorial disease. PAH pathogenesis mostly involves pulmonary arterial endothelial and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) dysfunction, leading to alterations in pulmonary arterial tone and distal pulmonary vessel obstruction and remodeling. Unfortunately, current PAH therapies are not curative, and therapeutic approaches mostly target endothelial dysfunction, while PASMC dysfunction is under investigation. In PAH, modifications in intracellular Ca2+ homoeostasis could partly explain PASMC dysfunction. One of the most crucial actors regulating Ca2+ homeostasis is store-operated Ca2+ channels, which mediate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). This review focuses on the main actors of SOCE in human and experimental PASMC, their contribution to PAH pathogenesis, and their therapeutic potential in PAH.

The effect of IL-2 stimulation and treatment of TRPM3 on channel co-localisation with PIP 2 and NK cell function in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome patients. J Transl Med 2021; 19:306. [PMID: 34266470 PMCID: PMC8281618 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-021-02974-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious multifactorial disorder. The origin remains ambiguous, however reduced natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity is a consistent immunological feature of ME/CFS. Impaired transient receptor potential melastatin 3 (TRPM3), a phosphatidylinositol dependent channel, and impaired calcium mobilisation have been implicated in ME/CFS pathology. This investigation aimed to examine the localisation of TRPM3 at the NK cell plasma membrane and co-localisation with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). The effect of IL-2 priming and treatment using pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) and ononetin on TRPM3 co-localisation and NK cell cytotoxicity in ME/CFS patients and healthy controls (HC) was also investigated. METHODS NK cells were isolated from 15 ME/CFS patients and 15 age- and sex-matched HC. Immunofluorescent technique was used to determine co-localisation of TRPM3 with the NK cell membrane and with PIP2 of ME/CFS patients and HC. Flow cytometry was used to determine NK cell cytotoxicity. Following IL-2 stimulation and treatment with PregS and ononetin changes in co-localisation and NK cell cytotoxicity were measured. RESULTS Overnight treatment of NK cells with PregS and ononetin resulted in reduced co-localisation of TRPM3 with PIP2 and actin in HC. Co-localisation of TRPM3 with PIP2 in NK cells was significantly reduced in ME/CFS patients compared with HC following priming with IL-2. A significant increase in co-localisation of TRPM3 with PIP2 was reported following overnight treatment with ononetin within ME/CFS patients and between groups. Baseline NK cell cytotoxicity was significantly reduced in ME/CFS patients; however, no changes were observed following overnight incubation with IL-2, PregS and ononetin between HC and ME/CFS patients. IL-2 stimulation significantly enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity in HC and ME/CFS patients. CONCLUSION Significant changes in co-localisation suggest PIP2-dependent TRPM3 function may be impaired in ME/CFS patients. Stimulation of NK cells with IL-2 significantly enhanced cytotoxic function in ME/CFS patients demonstrating normal function compared with HC. A crosstalk exists between IL-2 and TRPM3 intracellular signalling pathways which are dependent on Ca2+ influx and PIP2. While IL-2R responds to IL-2 binding in vitro, Ca2+ dysregulation and impaired intracellular signalling pathways impede NK cell function in ME/CFS patients.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins form non-selective Ca2+ permeable channels that contribute to the modulation of a number of physiological functions in a variety of cell types. Since the identification of TRP proteins in Drosophila, it is well known that these channels are activated by stimuli that induce PIP2 hydrolysis. The canonical TRP (TRPC) channels have long been suggested to be constituents of the store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) channels; however, none of the TRPC channels generate Ca2+ currents that resemble ICRAC. STIM1 and Orai1 have been identified as the components of the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels and there is a body of evidence supporting that STIM1 is able to gate Orai1 and TRPC1 in order to mediate non-selective cation currents named ISOC. STIM1 has been found to interact to and activate Orai1 and TRPC1 by different mechanisms and the involvement of TRPC1 in store-operated Ca2+ entry requires both STIM1 and Orai1. In addition to the participation of TRPC1 in the ISOC currents, TRPC1 and other TRPC proteins might play a relevant role modulating Orai1 channel function. This review summarizes the functional role of TRPC channels in the STIM1–Orai1 scenario.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous mechanism for Ca2+ influx in mammalian cells with important physiological implications. Since the discovery of SOCE more than three decades ago, the mechanism that communicates the information about the amount of Ca2+ accumulated in the intracellular Ca2+ stores to the plasma membrane channels and the nature of these channels have been matters of intense investigation and debate. The stromal interaction molecule-1 (STIM1) has been identified as the Ca2+ sensor of the intracellular Ca2+ compartments that activates the store-operated channels. STIM1 regulates two types of store-dependent channels: the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels, formed by Orai1 subunits, that conduct the highly Ca2+ selective current I CRAC and the cation permeable store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) channels, which consist of Orai1 and TRPC1 proteins and conduct the non-selective current I SOC. While the crystal structure of Drosophila CRAC channel has already been solved, the architecture of the SOC channels still remains unclear. The dynamic interaction of STIM1 with the store-operated channels is modulated by a number of proteins that either support the formation of the functional STIM1-channel complex or protect the cell against Ca2+ overload.

Abstract
Mutations in the gene encoding canonical transient receptor potential-6 (TRPC6) channels result in severe nephrotic syndromes that typically lead to end-stage renal disease. Many but not all of these mutations result in a gain in the function of the resulting channel protein. Since those observations were first made, substantial work has supported the hypothesis that TRPC6 channels can also contribute to progression of acquired (non-genetic) glomerular diseases, including primary and secondary FSGS, glomerulosclerosis during autoimmune glomerulonephritis, and possibly in type-1 diabetes. Their regulation has been extensively studied, especially in podocytes, but also in mesangial cells and other cell types present in the kidney. More recent evidence has implicated TRPC6 in renal fibrosis and tubulointerstitial disease caused by urinary obstruction. Consequently TRPC6 is being extensively investigated as a target for drug discovery. Other TRPC family members are present in kidney. TRPC6 can form a functional heteromultimer with TRPC3, and it has been suggested that TRPC5 may also play a role in glomerular disease progression, although the evidence on this is contradictory. Here we review literature on the expression and regulation of TRPC6, TRPC3 and TRPC5 in various cell types of the vertebrate kidney, the evidence that these channels are dysregulated in disease models, and research showing that knock-out or pharmacological inhibition of these channels can reduce the severity of kidney disease. We also summarize several areas that remain controversial, and some of the large gaps of knowledge concerning the fundamental role of these proteins in regulation of renal function.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels mediated by proliferation, migration, and spatial organization of endothelial cells. This mechanism is regulated by a balance between stimulatory and inhibitory factors. Proangiogenic factors include a variety of VEGF family members, while thrombospondin and endostatin, among others, have been reported as suppressors of angiogenesis. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels belong to a superfamily of cation-permeable channels that play a relevant role in a number of cellular functions mostly derived from their influence in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Endothelial cells express a variety of TRP channels, including members of the TRPC, TRPV, TRPP, TRPA, and TRPM families, which play a relevant role in a number of functions, including endothelium-induced vasodilation, vascular permeability as well as sensing hemodynamic and chemical changes. Furthermore, TRP channels have been reported to play an important role in angiogenesis. This review summarizes the current knowledge and limitations concerning the involvement of particular TRP channels in growth factor-induced angiogenesis.

Abstract
Signaling via the transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel C6 plays a pivotal role in hereditary and sporadic glomerular kidney disease. Several studies have identified gain-of-function mutations of TRPC6 and report induced expression and enhanced channel activity of TRPC6 in association with glomerular diseases. Interfering with TRPC6 activity may open novel therapeutic pathways. TRPC6 channel activity is controlled by protein expression and stability as well as intracellular trafficking. Identification of regulatory phosphorylation sites in TRPC6 and corresponding protein kinases is essential to understand the regulation of TRPC6 activity and may result in future therapeutic strategies. In this study, an unbiased phosphoproteomic screen of human TRPC6 identified several novel serine phosphorylation sites. The phosphorylation site at serine 14 of TRPC6 is embedded in a basophilic kinase motif that is highly conserved across species. We confirmed serine 14 as a target of MAPKs and proline-directed kinases like cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) in cell-based as well as in vitro kinase assays and quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis of TRPC6. Phosphorylation of TRPC6 at serine 14 enhances channel conductance by boosting membrane expression of TRPC6, whereas protein stability and multimerization of TRPC6 are not altered, making serine 14 phosphorylation a potential drug target to interfere with TRPC6 channel activity.-Hagmann, H., Mangold, N., Rinschen, M.

Abstract
Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) is a universal calcium (Ca2+) influx mechanism expressed by several different cell types. It is now known that Stromal Interaction Molecule (STIM), the Ca2+ sensor of the intracellular compartments, together with Orai and Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC), the subunits of Ca2+ permeable channels on the plasma membrane, cooperate in regulating multiple cellular functions as diverse as proliferation, differentiation, migration, gene expression, and many others, depending on the cell type. In particular, a growing body of evidences suggests that a tight control of SOCE expression and function is achieved by megakaryocytes along their route from hematopoietic stem cells to platelet production. This review attempts to provide an overview about the SOCE dynamics in megakaryocyte development, with a focus on most recent findings related to its involvement in physiological and pathological thrombopoiesis.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) proteins assemble into heteromultimeric structures forming non-selective cation channels. In addition, many TRPC6-interacting proteins have been identified like some enzymes, channels, pumps, cytoskeleton-associated proteins, immunophilins, or cholesterol-binding proteins, indicating that TRPC6 are engaged into macromolecular complexes. Depending on the cell type and the experimental conditions used, TRPC6 activity has been reported to be controlled by diverse modalities. For instance, the second messenger diacylglycerol, store-depletion, the plant extract hyperforin or H2O2 have all been shown to trigger the opening of TRPC6 channels. A well-characterized consequence of TRPC6 activation is the elevation of the cytosolic concentration of Ca(2+). This latter response can reflect the entry of Ca(2+) through open TRPC6 channels but it can also be due to the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (operating in its reverse mode) or voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (recruited in response to a TRPC6-mediated depolarization). Although TRPC6 controls a diverse array of biological functions in many tissues and cell types, its pathophysiological functions are far from being fully understood. This chapter covers some key features of TRPC6, with a special emphasis on their biological significance in kidney and blood cells.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical subfamily, member 7 (TRPC7) is the most recently identified member of the TRPC family of Ca(2+)-permeable non-selective cation channels. The gene encoding the TRPC7 channel plasma membrane protein was first cloned from mouse brain. TRPC7 mRNA and protein have been detected in cell types derived from multiple organ systems from various species including humans. Gq-coupled protein receptor activation is the predominant mode of TRPC7 activation. Lipid metabolites involved in the phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathway, including diacylglycerol (DAG) and its precursor the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), have been shown to be direct regulators of TRPC7 channel. TRPC7 channels have been linked to the regulation of various cellular functions however, the depth of our understanding of TRPC7 channel function and regulation is limited in comparison to other TRP channel family members. This review takes a historical look at our current knowledge of TRPC7 mechanisms of activation and its role in cellular physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
In the cardiovascular and hematopoietic systems the Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 3 (TRPC3) channel has a well-recognized role in a number of signaling mechanisms that impact the function of diverse cells and tissues in physiology and disease. The latter includes, but is not limited to, molecular and cellular mechanisms associated to the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy, hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. Despite several of these functions being closely related to atherorelevant mechanisms, the potential roles of TRPC3 in atherosclerosis, the major cause of coronary artery disease, have remained largely unexplored. Over recent years, a series of studies from the authors' laboratory revealed novel functions of TRPC3 in mechanisms related to endothelial inflammation, monocyte adhesion to endothelium and survival and apoptosis of macrophages. The relevance of these new TRPC3 functions to atherogenesis has recently began to receive validation through studies in mouse models of atherosclerosis with conditional gain or loss of TRPC3 function. This chapter summarizes these novel findings and provides a discussion of their impact in the context of atherosclerosis, in an attempt to delineate a framework for further exploration of this terra incognita in the TRPC field.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is an important mechanism for Ca(2+) influx in non-excitable cells, also present in excitable cells. The activation of store-operated channels (SOCs) is finely regulated by the filling state of the intracellular agonist-sensitive Ca(2+) compartments, and both, the mechanism of sensing the Ca(2+) stores and the nature and functional properties of the SOCs, have been a matter of intense investigation and debate. The identification of STIM1 as the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) sensor and both Orai1, as the pore-forming subunit of the channels mediating the Ca(2+)-selective store-operated current, and the members of the TRPC subfamily of proteins, as the channels mediating the cation-permeable SOCs, has shed new light on the underlying events. This review summarizes the initial hypothesis and the current advances on the mechanism of activation of SOCE.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channels that are activated by a wide variety of stimuli, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The TRPC4 channel is expressed in a punctate distribution in the membrane. To identify the regulating region of the channel trafficking to the membrane, we generated deletion mutants of the TRPC4 channel. We determined that when either region that was downstream of the 20 amino acids of the N terminus or the 700-730 amino acids was deleted, the mutants were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. By coexpression of the wild-type TRPC4 with deletion mutants, we found that the 23-29 amino acids of the N terminus regulate a membrane trafficking. Additionally, by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method, we found that the regions downstream of the 99 amino acid region of the N terminus and upstream of the 730 amino acid region in the C terminus produce assembly of the TRPC4 tetramers. We inferred the candidate proteins that regulate or interact with the 23-29 domain of TRPC4.

Abstract
The main tasks of skeletal muscle are muscle contraction and relaxation, which are mediated by changes in cytosolic Ca(2+) levels. Canonical-type transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3) contains an ankyrin repeat (AR) region at the N-terminus (38-188 amino acids) and forms extracellular Ca(2+)-entry channels by homo or heteromerization with other TRP subtypes in various cells including skeletal myotubes. However, previous research has not determined which region(s) of TRPC3 is responsible for the heteromerization, whether the AR region participates in the heteromerizations, or what is the role of heteromeric TRPC3s in skeletal muscle. In the present study, the heteromerization of TRPC3 with TRPC1 was first examined by GST pull-down assays of TRPC3 portions with TRPC1. The portion containing the AR region of TRPC3 was bound to the TRPC1, but the binding was inhibited by the very end sub-region of the TRPC3 (1-37 amino acids). In-silico studies have suggested that the very end sub-region possibly induces a structural change in the AR region. Second, the very end sub-region of TRPC3 was expressed in mouse primary skeletal myotubes, resulting in a dominant-negative inhibition of heteromeric TRPC3/1 formation. In addition, the skeletal myotubes expressing the very end sub-region showed a decrease in resting cytosolic Ca(2+) levels. These results suggest that the AR region of TRPC3 could mediate the heteromeric TRPC3/1 formation, and the heteromeric TRPC3/1 could participate in regulating the resting cytosolic Ca(2+) levels in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels mediate a critical part of the receptor-evoked Ca(2+) influx. TRPCs are gated open by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) sensor STIM1. Here we asked which stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and TRPC domains mediate the interaction between them and how this interaction is used to open the channels. We report that the STIM1 Orai1-activating region domain of STIM1 interacts with the TRPC channel coiled coil domains (CCDs) and that this interaction is essential for opening the channels by STIM1. Thus, disruption of the N-terminal (NT) CCDs by triple mutations eliminated TRPC surface localization and reduced binding of STIM1 to TRPC1 and TRPC5 while increasing binding to TRPC3 and TRPC6. Single mutations in TRPC1 NT or C-terminal (CT) CCDs reduced interaction and activation of TRPC1 by STIM1. Remarkably, single mutations in the TRPC3 NT CCD enhanced interaction and regulation by STIM1. Disruption in the TRPC3 CT CCD eliminated regulation by STIM1 and the enhanced interaction caused by NT CCD mutations. The NT CCD mutations converted TRPC3 from a TRPC1-dependent to a TRPC1-independent, STIM1-regulated channel. TRPC1 reduced the FRET between BFP-TRPC3 and TRPC3-YFP and between CFP-TRPC3-YFP upon stimulation. Accordingly, knockdown of TRPC1 made TRPC3 STIM1-independent. STIM1 dependence of TRPC3 was reconstituted by the TRPC1 CT CCD alone. Knockout of Trpc1 and Trpc3 similarly inhibited Ca(2+) influx, and inhibition of Trpc3 had no further effect on Ca(2+) influx in Trpc1(-/-) cells. Cell stimulation enhanced the formation of Trpc1-Stim1-Trpc3 complexes. These findings support a model in which the TRPC3 NT and CT CCDs interact to shield the CT CCD from interaction with STIM1. The TRPC1 CT CCD dissociates this interaction to allow the STIM1 Orai1-activating region within STIM1 access to the TRPC3 CT CCD and regulation of TRPC3 by STIM1. These studies provide evidence that the TRPC channel CCDs participate in channel gating.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are cellular sensors for a wide spectrum of physical and chemical stimuli. They are involved in the formation of sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, temperature, and pain sensation. TRP channels also play fundamental roles in cell signaling and allow the host cell to respond to benign or harmful environmental changes. As TRP channel activation is controlled by very diverse processes and, in many cases, exhibits complex polymodal properties, understanding how each TRP channel responds to its unique forms of activation energy is both crucial and challenging. The past two decades witnessed significant advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie TRP channels activation. This review focuses on our current understanding of the molecular determinants for TRP channel activation.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC3) nonselective cation channels are effectors of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), activated via phospholipase C-diacylglycerol signaling. In cerebellar Purkinje cells, TRPC3 channels cause the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-mediated slow EPSC (sEPSC). TRPC3 channels also provide negative feedback regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+), mediated by a C terminus "calmodulin and inositol trisphosphate receptor binding" (CIRB) domain. Here we report the alternative splicing of the TRPC3 mRNA transcript (designated TRPC3c), resulting in omission of exon 9 (approximately half of the CIRB domain) in mice, rats, and guinea pigs. TRPC3c expression is brain region specific, with prevalence in the cerebellum and brainstem. The TRPC3c channels expressed in HEK293 cells exhibit increased basal and GPCR-activated channel currents, and increased Ca(2+) fluorescence responses, compared with the previously characterized (TRPC3b) isoform when activated via either the endogenous M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, or via coexpressed mGluR1. GPCR-induced TRPC3c channel opening rate (cell-attached patch) matched the maximum activation achieved with inside-out patches with zero cytosolic Ca(2+), whereas the GPCR-induced TRPC3b activation frequency was significantly less. Both TRPC3 channel isoforms were blocked with 2 mm Ca(2+), attributable to CIRB domain regulation. In addition, genistein blocked Purkinje cell (S)-2-amino-2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl) acetic acid (mGluR1)-activated TPRC3 current as for recombinant TRPC3c current. This novel TRPC3c ion channel therefore has enhanced efficacy as a neuronal GPCR-Ca(2+) signaling effector, and is associated with sensorimotor coordination, neuronal development, and brain injury.

Abstract
Calcium is a ubiquitous signaling molecule, indispensable for cellular metabolism of organisms from unicellular life forms to higher eukaryotes. The biological function of most eukaryotic cells is uniquely regulated by changes in cytosolic calcium, which is largely achieved by the universal phenomenon of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). The canonical TRPs and Orai channels have been described as the molecular components of the store-operated calcium channels (SOCC). Importantly, the ER calcium-sensor STIM1 has been shown to initiate SOCE via gating of SOCC. Since the discovery of STIM1, as the critical regulator of SOCE, there has been a flurry of observations suggesting its obligatory role in regulating TRPC and Orai channel function. Considerable effort has been made to identify the molecular details as how STIM1 activates SOCC. In this context, findings as of yet has substantially enriched our understanding on, the modus operandi of SOCE, the distinct cellular locales that organize STIM1-SOCC complexes, and the physiological outcomes entailing STIM1-activated SOCE. In this review we discuss TRPC channels and provide an update on their functional regulation by STIM1.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels responsible for receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry (ROCE) triggered by activation of endothelin type A receptor (ET(A)R) and to clarify the importance of calmodulin (CaM) / inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor binding (CIRB) domain at the C terminus of TRPC channels in ET(A)R-activated channel regulation. In HEK293 cells coexpressing ET(A)R and one of seven TRPC isoforms, ET(A)R stimulation induced ROCE through TRPC3, TRPC5, TRPC6, and TRPC7. The TRPC3- and TRPC6-mediated ROCE was inhibited by selective inhibitors of G(q) protein, phospholipase C (PLC), and CaM. The CIRB domain deletion mutants of TRPC3 and TRPC6 failed to induce ET(A)R-mediated ROCE. Either deletion of the CIRB domain or pharmacological inhibition of CaM did not inhibit the targeting of these channels to the plasma membrane. These results suggest that 1) TRPC3, TRPC5, TRPC6, and TRPC7 can function as ET(A)R-operated Ca(2+) channels; 2) G(q) protein, PLC, and CaM are involved in TRPC3- and TRPC6-mediated ROCE; 3) ET(A)R-mediated activation of TRPC3 and TRPC6 requires the CIRB domain; and 4) abolition of ET(A)R-induced ROCE by CIRB domain deletion and CaM inhibition is due to loss of CaM binding to the channels but not loss of cell surface TRPC3 and TRPC6.

Abstract
Glomerular kidney disease is a major healthcare burden and considered to represent a sum of disorders that evade a refined and effective treatment. Excellent biological and genetic studies have defined pathways that go awry in podocytes, which are the regulatory cells of the glomerular filter. The question now is how to define targets for novel improved therapies. In this review, we summarize critical points around targeting the TRPC6 channel in podocytes.

Abstract
Mutations in the serine-threonine kinase with-no-lysine 4 (WNK4) cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type 2 (PHAII), a Mendelian form of human hypertension. WNK4 regulates diverse ion transporters in the kidney, and dysregulation of renal transporters is considered the main cause of the WNK4 mutation-associated hypertension. Another determinant of hypertension is vascular tone that is regulated by Ca(2+)-dependent blood vessel constriction. However, the role of WNK4 in vasoconstriction as part of its function to regulate blood pressure is not known. Here, we report that WNK4 is a unique modulator of blood pressure by restricting Ca(2+) influx via the transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channel in the vasculature. Loss of WNK4 markedly augmented TRPC3-mediated Ca(2+) influx in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in response to α-adrenoreceptor stimulation, which is the pathological hallmark of hypertension in resistance arteries. Notably, WNK4 depletion induced hypertrophic cell growth in VSMCs and increased vasoconstriction in small mesenteric arteries via TRPC3-mediated Ca(2+) influx. In addition, WNK4 mutants harboring the Q562E PHAII-causing or the D318A kinase-inactive mutation failed to mediate TRPC3 inhibition. These results define a previously undescribed function of WNK4 and reveal a unique therapeutic target to control blood pressure in WNK4-related hypertension.

Abstract
The 28 mammalian members of the super-family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are cation channels, mostly permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations, and can be subdivided into six main subfamilies: the TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPP (polycystin), TRPML (mucolipin), and the TRPA (ankyrin) groups. TRP channels are widely expressed in a large number of different tissues and cell types, and their biological roles appear to be equally diverse. In general, considered as polymodal cell sensors, they play a much more diverse role than anticipated. Functionally, TRP channels, when activated, cause cell depolarization, which may trigger a plethora of voltage-dependent ion channels. Upon stimulation, Ca2+ permeable TRP channels generate changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, by Ca2+ entry via the plasma membrane. However, more and more evidence is arising that TRP channels are also located in intracellular organelles and serve as intracellular Ca2+ release channels. This review focuses on three major tasks of TRP channels: (1) the function of TRP channels as Ca2+ entry channels; (2) the electrogenic actions of TRPs; and (3) TRPs as Ca2+ release channels in intracellular organelles.

Abstract
Loss or dysfunction of podocytes is a major cause of glomerular kidney disease. Several genetic forms of glomerular disease are caused by mutations in genes that encode structural elements of the slit diaphragm or the underlying cytoskeleton of podocyte foot processes. The recent discovery that gain-of-function mutations in Ca(2+)-permeable canonical transient receptor potential-6 channels (TRPC6) underlie a subset of familial forms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) has focused attention on the basic cellular physiology of podocytes. Several recent studies have examined the role of Ca(2+) dynamics in normal podocyte function and their possible contributions to glomerular disease. This review summarizes the properties of TRPC6 and related channels, focusing on their permeation and gating properties, the nature of mutations associated with familial FSGS, and the role of TRPC channels in podocyte cell biology as well as in glomerular pathophysiology. TRPC6 interacts with several proteins in podocytes, including essential slit diaphragm proteins and mechanosensitive large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels. The signaling dynamics controlling ion channel function and localization in podocytes appear to be quite complex.

Abstract
RATIONALE Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-induced vasoconstriction can occur independently of intracellular Ca(2+) release and via IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R) and canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel activation, but functional signaling mechanisms mediating this effect are unclear. OBJECTIVES Study mechanisms by which IP(3)Rs stimulate TRPC channels in myocytes of resistance-size cerebral arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS Immunofluorescence resonance energy transfer (immuno-FRET) microscopy using isoform-selective antibodies indicated that endogenous type 1 IP(3)Rs (IP(3)R1) are in close spatial proximity to TRPC3, but distant from TRPC6 or TRPM4 channels in arterial myocytes. Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a phospholipase C-coupled receptor agonist, elevated immuno-FRET between IP(3)R1 and TRPC3, but not between IP(3)R1 and TRPC6 or TRPM4. TRPC3, but not TRPC6, coimmunoprecipitated with IP(3)R1. TRPC3 and TRPC6 antibodies selectively inhibited recombinant channels, but only the TRPC3 antibody blocked IP(3)-induced nonselective cation current (I(Cat)) in myocytes. TRPC3 knockdown attenuated immuno-FRET between IP(3)R1 and TRPC3, IP(3)-induced I(Cat) activation, and ET-1 and IP(3)-induced vasoconstriction, whereas TRPC6 channel knockdown had no effect. ET-1 did not alter total or plasma membrane-localized TRPC3, as determined using surface biotinylation. RT-PCR demonstrated that C-terminal calmodulin and IP(3)R binding (CIRB) domains are present in myocyte TRPC3 and TRPC6 channels. A peptide corresponding to the IP(3)R N-terminal region that can interact with TRPC channels activated I(Cat). A TRPC3 CIRB domain peptide attenuated IP(3)- and ET-1-induced I(Cat) activation and vasoconstriction. CONCLUSIONS IP(3) stimulates direct coupling between IP(3)R1 and membrane-resident TRPC3 channels in arterial myocytes, leading to I(Cat) activation and vasoconstriction. Close spatial proximity between IP(3)R1 and TRPC3 establishes this isoform-selective functional interaction.

Abstract
There is a body of evidence suggesting that Ca(2+) handling proteins assemble into signaling complexes required for a fine regulation of Ca(2+) signals, events that regulate a variety of critical cellular processes. Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) and Orai proteins have both been proposed to form Ca(2+)-permeable channels mediating Ca(2+) entry upon agonist stimulation. A number of studies have demonstrated that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) interact with plasma membrane TRPC channels; however, at present there is no evidence supporting the interaction between Orai proteins and IP(3)Rs. Here we report that treatment with thapsigargin or cellular agonists results in association of Orai1 with types I and II IP(3)Rs. In addition, we have found that TRPC3, RACK1 (receptor for activated protein kinase C-1), and STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) interact with Orai1 upon stimulation with agonists. TRPC3 expression silencing prevented both the interaction of Orai1 with TRPC3 and, more interestingly, the association of Orai1 with the type I IP(3)R, but not with the type II IP(3)R, thus suggesting that TRPC3 selectively mediates interaction between Orai1 and type I IP(3)R. In addition, TRPC3 expression silencing attenuated ATP- and CCh-stimulated interaction between RACK1 and the type I IP(3)R, as well as Ca(2+) release and entry. In conclusion, our results indicate that agonist stimulation results in the formation of an Orai1-STIM1-TRPC3-RACK1-type I IP(3)R complex, where TRPC3 plays a central role. This Ca(2+) signaling complex might be important for both agonist-induced Ca(2+) release and entry.

Abstract
The molecular characterization of post-receptor actors involved in insect olfactory transduction has yet to be understood. We have investigated the presence of a Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel in the peripheral olfactory system of the moth Spodoptera littoralis. A cDNA encoding a Lepidopteran TRP channel (TRPgamma) was identified by analysis of a male-antennal EST database and subsequently cloned by RACE PCR. In adult males, the TRPgamma transcript was detected in antennae, at the base of olfactory sensilla. Moreover, TRPgamma was observed in antennae in both pupal and adult stages. This work is the first step in understanding the involvement of TRPgamma in signalling pathways involved in the development and function of the insect olfactory system.

Abstract
Activation of TRPC3 channels is concurrent with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor (IP(3)R)-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) release and associated with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis and recruitment to the plasma membrane. Here we report that interaction of TRPC3 with receptor for activated C-kinase-1 (RACK1) not only determines plasma membrane localization of the channel but also the interaction of IP(3)R with RACK1 and IP(3)-dependent intracellular Ca(2+) release. We show that TRPC3 interacts with RACK1 via N-terminal residues Glu-232, Asp-233, Glu-240, and Glu-244. Carbachol (CCh) stimulation of HEK293 cells expressing wild type TRPC3 induced recruitment of a ternary TRPC3-RACK1-IP(3)R complex and increased surface expression of TRPC3 and Ca(2+) entry. Mutation of the putative RACK1 binding sequence in TRPC3 disrupted plasma membrane localization of the channel. CCh-stimulated recruitment of TRPC3-RACK1-IP(3)R complex as well as increased surface expression of TRPC3 and receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry were also attenuated. Importantly, CCh-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release was significantly reduced as was RACK1-IP(3)R association without any change in thapsigargin-stimulated Ca(2+) release and entry. Knockdown of endogenous TRPC3 also decreased RACK1-IP(3)R association and decreased CCh-stimulated Ca(2+) entry. Furthermore, an oscillatory pattern of CCh-stimulated intracellular Ca(2+) release was seen in these cells compared with the more sustained pattern seen in control cells. Similar oscillatory pattern of Ca(2+) release was seen after CCh stimulation of cells expressing the TRPC3 mutant. Together these data demonstrate a novel role for TRPC3 in regulation of IP(3)R function. We suggest TRPC3 controls agonist-stimulated intracellular Ca(2+) release by mediating interaction between IP(3)R and RACK1.

Abstract
The TRP ("transient receptor potential") family of ion channels now comprises more than 30 cation channels, most of which are permeable for Ca2+, and some also for Mg2+. On the basis of sequence homology, the TRP family can be divided in seven main subfamilies: the TRPC ('Canonical') family, the TRPV ('Vanilloid') family, the TRPM ('Melastatin') family, the TRPP ('Polycystin') family, the TRPML ('Mucolipin') family, the TRPA ('Ankyrin') family, and the TRPN ('NOMPC') family. The cloning and characterization of members of this cation channel family has exploded during recent years, leading to a plethora of data on the roles of TRPs in a variety of tissues and species, including mammals, insects, and yeast. The present review summarizes the most pertinent recent evidence regarding the structural and functional properties of TRP channels, focusing on the regulation and physiology of mammalian TRPs.

Abstract
TRPCs function as cation channels in non-excitable cells. The N-terminal tails of all TRPCs contain an ankyrin-like repeat domain, one of the most common protein-protein interaction motifs. Using a yeast two-hybrid screening approach, we found that RNF24, a new membrane RING-H2 protein, interacted with the ankyrin-like repeat domain of TRPC6. GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays showed that RNF24 interacted with all TRPCs. Cell surface-labelling assays showed that the expression of TRPC6 at the surface of HEK 293T cells was greatly reduced when it was transiently co-transfected with RNF24. Confocal microscopy showed that TRPC3 and TRPC6 co-localized with RNF24 in a perinuclear compartment and that RNF24 co-localized with mannosidase II, a marker of the Golgi cisternae. Using a pulse-chase approach, we showed that RNF24 did not alter the maturation process of TRPC6. Moreover, in HEK 293T cells, RNF24 did not alter carbachol-induced Ca(2+) entry via endogenous channels or TRPC6. These results indicate that RNF24 interacts with TRPCs in the Golgi apparatus and affects TRPC intracellular trafficking without affecting their activity.

The expression of TRPC3 (canonical-type transient receptor potential cation channel type 3) is tightly regulated during skeletal muscle cell differentiation, and a functional interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1 [(ryanodine receptor type 1), an SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) Ca2+-release channel] regulates the gain of SR Ca2+ release during EC (excitation–contraction) coupling. However, it has not been possible to demonstrate direct protein–protein interactions between TRPC3 and RyR1. To identify possible candidate(s) for a linker protein(s) between TRPC3 and RyR1 in skeletal muscle, in the present study we performed MALDI–TOF (matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization–time-of-flight) MS analysis of a cross-linked triadic protein complex from rabbit skeletal triad vesicles and co-immunoprecipitation assays using primary mouse skeletal myotubes. From these studies, we found that six triadic proteins, that are known to regulate RyR1 function and/or EC coupling [TRPC1, JP2 (junctophilin 2), homer, mitsugumin 29, calreticulin and calmodulin], interacted directly with TRPC3 in a Ca2+-independent manner. However we again found no direct interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1. TRPC1 was identified as a potential physical link between TRPC3 and RyR1, as it interacted with both TRPC3 and RyR1, and JPs showed subtype-specific interactions with both RyR1 and TRPC3 (JP1–RyR1 and JP2–TRPC3). These results support the hypothesis that TRPC3 and RyR1 are functionally engaged via linker proteins in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
As a special focus in initiating and maintaining atrial fibrillation (AF), cardiomyocytes in superior vena cava (SVC) have distinctive electrophysiological characters. In this study, we found that comparing with the right atrial (RA) cardiomyocytes, the SVC cardiomyocytes had longer APD90 at the different basic cycle lengths; the conduction block could be observed on both RA and SVC cardiomyocytes. A few of SVC cardiomyocytes showed slow response action potentials with automatic activity and some others showed early after depolarization (EAD) spontaneously. Further more, we found that there are nonselective cation current (INs) in both SVC and RA cardiomyocytes. The peak density of I Ns in SVC cardiomyocytes was smaller than that in RA cardiomyocytes. Removal of extracellular divalent cation and glucose could increase INs in SVC cardiomyocytes. The agonist or the antagonist of INs may increase or decrease APD. To sum up, some SVC cardiomyocytes possess the ability of spontaneous activity; the difference of transmembrane action potentials between SVC and RA cardiomyocytes is partly because of the different density of INs between them; the agonist or the antagonist of INs can increase or decrease APD leading to the enhancement or reduction of EAD genesis in SVC cardiomyocytes. INs in rabbit myocytes is fairly similar to TRPC3 current in electrophysiological property, which might play an important role in the mechanisms of AF.

Abstract
Erythropoietin (Epo) stimulates a significant increase in the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) through activation of the murine transient receptor potential channel TRPC2, but TRPC2 is a pseudogene in humans. TRPC3 expression increases on normal human erythroid progenitors during differentiation. Here, we determined that erythropoietin regulates calcium influx through TRPC3. Epo stimulation of HEK 293T cells transfected with Epo receptor and TRPC3 resulted in a dose-dependent increase in [Ca(2+)](i), which required extracellular calcium influx. Treatment with the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U-73122 or down-regulation of PLCgamma1 by RNA interference inhibited the Epo-stimulated increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in TRPC3-transfected HEK 293T cells and in primary human erythroid precursors, demonstrating a requirement for PLC. TRPC3 associated with PLCgamma, and substitution of predicted PLCgamma Src homology 2 binding sites (Y226F, Y555F, Y648F, and Y674F) on TRPC3 reduced the interaction of TRPC3 with PLCgamma and inhibited the rise in [Ca(2+)](i). Substitution of Tyr(226) alone with phenylalanine significantly reduced the Epo-stimulated increase in [Ca(2+)](i) but not the association of PLCgamma with TRPC3. PLC activation results in production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)). To determine whether IP(3) is involved in Epo activation of TRPC3, TRPC3 mutants were prepared with substitution or deletion of COOH-terminal IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R) binding domains. In cells expressing TRPC3 with mutant IP(3)R binding sites and Epo receptor, interaction of IP(3)R with TRPC3 was abolished, and Epo-modulated increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was reduced. Our data demonstrate that Epo modulates TRPC3 activation through a PLCgamma-mediated process that requires interaction of PLCgamma and IP(3)R with TRPC3. They also show that TRPC3 Tyr(226) is critical in Epo-dependent activation of TRPC3. These data demonstrate a redundancy of TRPC channel activation mechanisms by widely different agonists.

Abstract
TRPC proteins constitute a family of conserved Ca2+-permeable cation channels which are activated in response to agonist-stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis. These channels were initially proposed to be components of the store-operated calcium entry channel (SOC). Subsequent studies have provided substantial evidence that some TRPCs contribute to SOC activity. TRPC proteins have also been shown to form agonist-stimulated calcium entry channels that are not store-operated but are likely regulated by PIP2 or diacylglycerol. Further, and consistent with the presently available data, selective homomeric or heteromeric interactions between TRPC monomers generate distinct agonist-stimulated cation permeable channels. We suggest that interaction between TRPC monomers, as well as the association of these channels with accessory proteins, determines their mode of regulation as well as their cellular localization and function. Currently identified accessory proteins include key Ca2+ signaling proteins as well as proteins involved in vesicle trafficking, cytoskeletal interactions, and scaffolding. Studies reported until now demonstrate that TRPC proteins are segregated into specific Ca2+ signaling complexes which can generate spatially and temporally controlled [Ca2+]i signals. Thus, the functional organization of TRPC channelosomes dictates not only their regulation by extracellular stimuli but also serves as a platform to coordinate specific downstream cellular functions that are regulated as a consequence of Ca2+ entry. This review will focus on the accessory proteins of TRPC channels and discuss the functional implications of TRPC channelosomes and their assembly in microdomains.

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
The regulatory mechanism of Ca2+ influx into the cytosol from the extracellular space in non-excitable cells is not clear. The "capacitative calcium entry" (CCE) hypothesis suggested that Ca2+ influx is triggered by the IP(3)-mediated emptying of the intracellular Ca2+ stores. However, there is no clear evidence for CCE and its mechanism remains elusive. In the present work, we have provided the reported evidences to show that inhibition of IP(3)-dependent Ca2+ release does not affect Ca2+ influx, and the experimental protocols used to demonstrate CCE can stimulate Ca2+ influx by means other than emptying of the Ca2+ stores. In addition, we have presented the reports showing that IP(3)-mediated Ca2+ release is linked to a Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space, which does not increase cytosolic [Ca2+] prior to Ca2+ release. Based on these and other reports, we have provided a model of Ca2+ signaling in non-excitable cells, in which IP(3)-mediated emptying of the intracellular Ca2+ store triggers entry of Ca2+ directly into the store, through a plasma membrane TRPC channel. Thus, emptying and direct refilling of the Ca2+ stores are repeated in the presence of IP(3), giving rise to the transient phase of oscillatory Ca2+ release. Direct Ca2+ entry into the store is regulated by its filling status in a negative and positive manner through a Ca2+ -binding protein and Stim1/Orai complex, respectively. The sustained phase of Ca2+ influx is triggered by diacylglycerol (DAG) through the activation of another TRPC channel, independent of Ca2+ release. The plasma membrane IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R) plays an essential role in Ca2+ influx, by interacting with the DAG-activated TRPC, without the requirement of binding to IP(3).

Abstract
Chemical communication is an important component of mammalian social behaviors. Gray short-tailed opossums (Monodelphis domestica) communicate by scent marking. The male opossum possesses a prominent suprasternal scent gland, extracts of which strongly attract female opossums. This attractivity remains unaltered following repeated lyophilization. The suprasternal gland secretion functions in a sexually dimorphic manner, i.e., it elicits elevated levels of IP(3) in the vomeronasal (VN) sensory epithelium of female opossums, but suppressed the levels of IP(3) in the VN sensory epithelium of male opossums. The elevated levels of IP(3) induced by suprasternal gland secretion in female vomeronasal sensory epithelium is inhibited by the G(i/o) specific inhibitor, NF023, but not its inactive analogue, NF007. It is also suppressed by specific antibodies to the alpha subunits of G(i) and G(o) proteins, by the phospholipase C inhibitor, U73122, as well as by GDPbetaS. Surprisingly, GDPbetaS itself enhances basal levels of IP(3) in female VN sensory epithelium. This GDPbetaS-induced increase in levels of IP(3) is reduced by the PLC inhibitor, U73122, but not by the G(i/o) inhibitor, NF023. In addition, GDP also enhances basal levels of IP(3). GDPbetaS, a known inhibitor of G-protein activation, thus appears to have dual functions: as both stimulator and inhibitor of IP(3) production in the VN sensory epithelium of opossums. In contrast, this nucleotide analogue functions as an inhibitor in the VN sensory epithelium of mice. The mechanism of signal transduction underlying the suprasternal gland secretion-elicited signals in the VN sensory epithelium of opossums appears to involve signals that are generated through activation of G-protein-coupled receptors and transduced via activation of G(i/o)-proteins and the effector, phospholipase C, resulting in an increased production of the second messenger, IP(3). The extracellular signals are thus amplified.
