Abstract
Mitochondria form a critical control nexus which are essential for maintaining correct tissue homeostasis. An increasing number of studies have identified dysregulation of mitochondria as a driver in cancer. However, which pathways support and promote this adapted mitochondrial function? A key hallmark of cancer is perturbation of kinase signalling pathways. These pathways include mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK), lipid secondary messenger networks, cyclic-AMP-activated (cAMP)/AMP-activated kinases (AMPK), and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) networks. These signalling pathways have multiple substrates which support initiation and persistence of cancer. Many of these are involved in the regulation of mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial apoptosis, mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial associated membranes (MAMs), and retrograde ROS signalling. This review will aim to both explore how kinase signalling integrates with these critical mitochondrial pathways and highlight how these systems can be usurped to support the development of disease. In addition, we will identify areas which require further investigation to fully understand the complexities of these regulatory interactions. Overall, this review will emphasize how studying the interaction between kinase signalling and mitochondria improves our understanding of mitochondrial homeostasis and can yield novel therapeutic targets to treat disease.

Abstract
Src family protein kinases (SFKs) play a key role in cell adhesion, invasion, proliferation, survival, apoptosis, and angiogenesis during tumor development. In humans, SFKs consists of eight family members with similar structure and function. There is a high level of overexpression or hyperactivity of SFKs in tumor, and they play an important role in multiple signaling pathways involved in tumorigenesis. FYN is a member of the SFKs that regulate normal cellular processes. Additionally, FYN is highly expressed in many cancers and promotes cancer growth and metastasis through diverse biological functions such as cell growth, apoptosis, and motility migration, as well as the development of drug resistance in many tumors. Moreover, FYN is involved in the regulation of multiple cancer-related signaling pathways, including interactions with ERK, COX-2, STAT5, MET and AKT. FYN is therefore an attractive therapeutic target for various tumor types, and suppressing FYN can improve the prognosis and prolong the life of patients. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of FYN's structure, expression, upstream regulators, downstream substrate molecules, and biological functions in tumors.

IP3 receptor orchestrates maladaptive vascular responses in heart failure. J Clin Invest 2022; 132:152859. [PMID: 35166236 PMCID: PMC8843748 DOI: 10.1172/jci152859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with heart failure (HF) have augmented vascular tone, which increases cardiac workload, impairing ventricular output and promoting further myocardial dysfunction. The molecular mechanisms underlying the maladaptive vascular responses observed in HF are not fully understood. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) control vasoconstriction via a Ca2+-dependent process, in which the type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R1) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays a major role. To dissect the mechanistic contribution of intracellular Ca2+ release to the increased vascular tone observed in HF, we analyzed the remodeling of IP3R1 in aortic tissues from patients with HF and from controls. VSMC IP3R1 channels from patients with HF and HF mice were hyperphosphorylated by both serine and tyrosine kinases. VSMCs isolated from IP3R1VSMC–/– mice exhibited blunted Ca2+ responses to angiotensin II (ATII) and norepinephrine compared with control VSMCs. IP3R1VSMC–/– mice displayed significantly reduced responses to ATII, both in vivo and ex vivo. HF IP3R1VSMC–/– mice developed significantly less afterload compared with HF IP3R1fl/fl mice and exhibited significantly attenuated progression toward decompensated HF and reduced interstitial fibrosis. Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of the MLC by MLCK activated VSMC contraction. MLC phosphorylation was markedly increased in VSMCs from patients with HF and HF mice but reduced in VSMCs from HF IP3R1VSMC–/– mice and HF WT mice treated with ML-7. Taken together, our data indicate that VSMC IP3R1 is a major effector of increased vascular tone, which contributes to increased cardiac afterload and decompensation in HF.

Abstract
As a second messenger in cellular signal transduction, calcium signaling extensively participates in various physiological activities, including spermatogenesis and the regulation of sperm function. Abnormal calcium signaling is highly correlated with male infertility. Calcium signaling is mainly regulated by both extracellular calcium influx and the release of calcium stores. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is a widely expressed channel for calcium stores. After being activated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and calcium signaling at a lower concentration, IP3R can regulate the release of Ca2+ from stores into cytoplasm, and eventually trigger downstream events. The closure of the IP3R channel caused by a rise in intracellular calcium signals and the activation of the calcium pump jointly restores the calcium store to a normal level. In this review, we aim to discuss structural features of IP3R channels and the underlying mechanism of IP3R channel-mediated calcium signaling and further focus on the research progress of IP3R expression and function in the male reproductive system. Finally, we propose key directions and strategies for research of IP3R in spermatogenesis and the regulation of sperm function to provide more understanding of the function and mechanism of IP3R channel actions in male reproduction.

Obesity induces preadipocyte CD36 expression promoting inflammation via the disruption of lysosomal calcium homeostasis and lysosome function. EBioMedicine 2020; 56:102797.

Abstract
Background Preadipocyte is closely related to obesity-induced inflammation. The impairment of autophagic flux by defective lysosomal function has been observed in adipose tissue from obese mice. While the fatty acid translocase CD36 is an important immuno-metabolic receptor, it remains unclear whether preadipocyte CD36 is involved in adipose tissue inflammation and whether CD36 regulates lysosomal function. Methods Using visceral adipose tissue from obese patients, a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice model, primary mouse preadipocytes and 3T3L1 cells we analyzed whether and how preadipocyte CD36 modulates lysosomal function and adipose tissue inflammation. Findings CD36 expression in preadipocytes is induced in obese patients and HFD-fed mice, accompanied with the disruption of lysosome function. CD36 knockout protects primary preadipocytes of HFD-fed mice from lysosomal impairment. In vitro, CD36 interacts with Fyn to phosphorylate and activate Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor 1 (IP3R1), causing excess calcium transport from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to lysosome, which results in lysosomal impairment and inflammation. Moreover, IP3R inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB) attenuates lysosomal impairment, inflammation and lipid accumulation in CD36-overexpressing preadipocytes. Interpretation Our data support that the abnormal upregulation of CD36 in preadipocytes may contribute to the development of adipose tissue inflammation. CD36/Fyn/IP3R1-mediated lysosomal calcium overload leads to lysosomal impairment and inflammation in preadipocyte. Thus targeting improving lysosomal calcium homeostasis may represent a novel strategy for treating obesity-induced inflammation.

Abstract
In the body, extracellular stimuli produce inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), an intracellular chemical signal that binds to the IP3 receptor (IP3R) to release calcium ions (Ca2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum. In the past 40 years, the wide-ranging functions mediated by IP3R and its genetic defects causing a variety of disorders have been unveiled. Recent cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography have resolved IP3R structures and begun to integrate with concurrent functional studies, which can explicate IP3-dependent opening of Ca2+-conducting gates placed ∼90 Å away from IP3-binding sites and its regulation by Ca2+. This review highlights recent research progress on the IP3R structure and function. We also propose how protein plasticity within IP3R, which involves allosteric gating and assembly transformations accompanied by rapid and chronic structural changes, would enable it to regulate diverse functions at cellular microdomains in pathophysiological states.

Abstract
During thymocyte development at the double positive stage, thymocytes are subjected to a TCR quality check process termed "thymocyte selection." TCRs with proper binding capabilities to MHC molecules (with self-peptide) are able to transduce cell survival signals and allow the continuing of development to single positive T cells. It has been known that TCRs in DP cells can transduce signals with higher efficiency than peripheral mature T cells, even though they share most of the signaling components. Recent studies have revealed some thymocyte-specific signaling modulators including Themis and Tespa1. The activation of TCR signaling during positive selection results in the activation of several key transcription factors and extensive gene expression change, which has been revealed by newly developed systemic transcriptome analysis tools, and could be used for the evaluation of positive selection process. The fate determination postpositive selection is also governed on the epigenetic level including both DNA methylation and histone modifications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in congestive heart failure (CHF) management depend on biomarkers for monitoring disease progression and therapeutic response. During systole, intracellular Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm through type-2 ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channels. In CHF, chronically elevated circulating catecholamine levels cause pathological remodeling of type-2 ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channels resulting in diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak and decreased myocardial contractility. Similarly, skeletal muscle contraction requires sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release through type-1 ryanodine receptors (RyR1), and chronically elevated catecholamine levels in CHF cause RyR1-mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak, contributing to myopathy and weakness. Circulating B-lymphocytes express RyR1 and catecholamine-responsive signaling cascades, making them a potential surrogate for defects in intracellular Ca2+ handling because of leaky RyR channels in CHF. METHODS Whole blood was collected from patients with CHF, CHF following left-ventricular assist device implant, and controls. Blood was also collected from mice with ischemic CHF, ischemic CHF+S107 (a drug that specifically reduces RyR channel Ca2+ leak), and wild-type controls. Channel macromolecular complex was assessed by immunostaining RyR1 immunoprecipitated from lymphocyte-enriched preparations. RyR1 Ca2+ leak was assessed using flow cytometry to measure Ca2+ fluorescence in B-lymphocytes in the absence and presence of RyR1 agonists that empty RyR1 Ca2+ stores within the endoplasmic reticulum. RESULTS Circulating B-lymphocytes from humans and mice with CHF exhibited remodeled RyR1 and decreased endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores, consistent with chronic intracellular Ca2+ leak. This Ca2+ leak correlated with circulating catecholamine levels. The intracellular Ca2+ leak was significantly reduced in mice treated with the Rycal S107. Patients with CHF treated with left-ventricular assist devices exhibited a heterogeneous response. CONCLUSIONS In CHF, B-lymphocytes exhibit remodeled leaky RyR1 channels and decreased endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores consistent with chronic intracellular Ca2+ leak. RyR1-mediated Ca2+ leak in B-lymphocytes assessed using flow cytometry provides a surrogate measure of intracellular Ca2+ handling and systemic sympathetic burden, presenting a novel biomarker for monitoring response to pharmacological and mechanical CHF therapy.

Abstract
The ability of oocytes to undergo normal fertilization and embryo development is
acquired during oocyte maturation which is transition from the germinal vesicle
stage (GV), germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) to metaphase of meiosis II (MII).
Part of this process includes redistribution of inositol 1,4, 5-triphosphate
receptor (IP3R), a predominant Ca2+ channel on the endoplasmic
reticulum membrane. Type 1 IP3R (IP3R1) is expressed in mouse oocytes
dominantly. At GV stage, IP3R1 are arranged as a network throughout the
cytoplasm with minute accumulation around the nucleus. At MII stage, IP3R1
diffuses to the entire cytoplasm in a more reticular manner, and obvious
clusters of IP3R1 are observed at the cortex of the egg. This structural
reorganization provides acquisition of [Ca2+]i oscillatory
activity during fertilization. In this review, general properties of IP3R1 in
somatic cells and mammalian oocyte are introduced.

Abstract
The striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) is a brain-specific phosphatase involved in synaptic transmission. The current hypothesis on STEP function holds that it opposes synaptic strengthening by dephosphorylating and inactivating key neuronal proteins involved in synaptic plasticity and intracellular signaling, such as the MAP kinases ERK1/2 and p38, as well as the tyrosine kinase Fyn. Although STEP has a predominant role at the post-synaptic level, it is also expressed in nerve terminals. To better investigate its physiological role at the presynaptic level, we functionally investigated brain synaptosomes and autaptic hippocampal neurons from STEP knockout (KO) mice. Synaptosomes purified from mutant mice were characterized by an increased basal and evoked glutamate release compared with wild-type animals. Under resting conditions, STEP KO synaptosomes displayed increased cytosolic Ca2+ levels accompanied by an enhanced basal activity of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II (CaMKII) and hyperphosphorylation of synapsin I at CaMKII sites. Moreover, STEP KO hippocampal neurons exhibit an increase of excitatory synaptic strength attributable to an increased size of the readily releasable pool of synaptic vesicles. These results provide new evidence that STEP plays an important role at nerve terminals in the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis and neurotransmitter release.

Abstract
Amyloid-beta (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau are hallmark lesions of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the loss of synapses and dysfunctions of neurotransmission are more directly tied to disease severity. The role of these lesions in the pathoetiological progression of the disease remains contested. Biochemical, cellular, molecular, and pathological studies provided several lines of evidence and improved our understanding of how Aβ and hyperphosphorylated tau accumulation may directly harm synapses and alter neurotransmission. In vitro evidence suggests that Aβ and hyperphosphorylated tau have both direct and indirect cytotoxic effects that affect neurotransmission, axonal transport, signaling cascades, organelle function, and immune response in ways that lead to synaptic loss and dysfunctions in neurotransmitter release. Observations in preclinical models and autopsy studies support these findings, suggesting that while the pathoetiology of positive lesions remains elusive, their removal may reduce disease severity and progression.

Tespa1 regulates T cell receptor-induced calcium signals by recruiting inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Nat Commun 2017; 8:15732. [PMID: 28598420 PMCID: PMC5472764 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2016] [Accepted: 04/24/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Thymocyte-expressed, positive selection-associated 1 (Tespa1) is important in T cell receptor (TCR)-driven thymocyte development. Downstream of the TCR, Tespa1 is a crucial component of the linker for activation of T cells (LAT) signalosome, facilitating calcium signalling and subsequent MAPK activation. However, it is unknown how Tespa1 elicits calcium signalling. Here, we show that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP3R1) is crucial for Tespa1-optimized, TCR-induced Ca2+ flux and thymocyte development. Upon TCR stimulation, Tespa1 directly interacts with IP3R1 and recruits it to the TCR complex, where IP3R1 is phosphorylated at Y353 by Fyn. This Tespa1-IP3R1 interaction is mediated by the F187 and F188 residues of Tespa1 and the amino-terminus of IP3R1. Tespa1-F187A/F188A mutant mice phenocopy Tespa1-deficient mice with impaired late thymocyte development due to reduced IP3R1 translocation to the TCR-proximal region. Our work elucidates the function of Tespa1 in T cell development and the regulation of TCR-induced Ca2+ signalling through IP3R1. The thymocyte development protein Tespa1 is known to translate T cell receptor signals by affecting the calcium signalling cascade, but it is not clear how. Here the authors show that Tespa1 recruits IP3R1 to the TCR signalling complex.

Abstract
In this review, we shall describe the rich crosstalk between non-receptor Src-family kinases (SFKs) and the Ca2+ transient generated in activated cells by a variety of extracellular and intracellular stimuli, resulting in diverse signaling events. The exchange of information between SFKs and Ca2+ is reciprocal, as it flows in both directions. These kinases are main actors in pathways leading to the generation of the Ca2+ signal, and reciprocally, the Ca2+ signal modulates SFKs activity and functions. We will cover how SFKs participate in the generation of the cytosolic Ca2+ rise upon activation of a series of receptors and the mechanism of clearance of this Ca2+ signal. The role of SFKs modulating Ca2+-translocating channels participating in these events will be amply discussed. Finally, the role of the Ca2+ sensor protein calmodulin on the activity of c-Src, and potentially on other SFKs, will be outlined as well. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: ECS Meeting edited by Claus Heizmann, Joachim Krebs and Jacques Haiech.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are expressed in nearly all animal cells, where they mediate the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The complex spatial and temporal organization of the ensuing intracellular Ca2+ signals allows selective regulation of diverse physiological responses. Interactions of IP3Rs with other proteins contribute to the specificity and speed of Ca2+ signalling pathways, and to their capacity to integrate information from other signalling pathways. In this review, we provide a comprehensive survey of the proteins proposed to interact with IP3Rs and the functional effects that these interactions produce. Interacting proteins can determine the activity of IP3Rs, facilitate their regulation by multiple signalling pathways and direct the Ca2+ that they release to specific targets. We suggest that IP3Rs function as signalling hubs through which diverse inputs are processed and then emerge as cytosolic Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
Ca(2+) release is tightly sequestered in eukaryotic cells to enable fine spatio-temporal control of signalling but how Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is linked to cell adhesions is not defined. We examined the spatial restriction of Ca(2+) release through the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor 1 (IP3R1) in response to interleukin-1 (IL-1) and the functions of the adhesion-associated proteins, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and protein tyrosine phosphatase-α (PTPα). In cultured fibroblasts IL-1 treatment promoted co-localization of PTPα and FAK with the ER and increased association of IP3R1 with PTPα and FAK at focal adhesions (FAs). GST pull-down assays of purified proteins demonstrated that PTPα and FAK directly interacted with IP3R1. These interactions depended on the focal adhesion-targeting (FAT) and band4.1-ezrin-radixin-moesin (FERM) domains of FAK. PTPα was required for the association of IP3R1 with Src, which mediated IP3R1 phosphorylation and consequently ER Ca(2+) release. Collectively, these data indicate that PTPα and FAK, which are enriched in FAs, interact with IP3R1 at adjacent ER sites to spatially sequester IL-1-induced Ca(2+) signalling.

Abstract
The type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R1) mediates increases in the intracellular concentration of Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]i) during fertilization in mammalian eggs. The activity of IP3R1 is enhanced during oocyte maturation, and phosphorylations by M-phase kinases are thought to positively regulate the activity of IP3R1. Accordingly, we and others have found that IP3R1 is phosphorylated at S(421), T(799) (by Cdk1) and at S(436) (by ERK). Nevertheless, the effects of these phosphorylations on the function of the receptor and their impact on [Ca(2+)]i oscillations in eggs have not been clearly examined. To address this, we expressed in mouse oocytes an IP3R1 variant with the three indicated phosphorylation sites replaced by acidic residues, IIIE-IP3R1, such that it would act like a constitutively phosphorylated IP3R1, and examined [Ca(2+)]i parameters in response to stimuli. We found that overexpression of wild type (wt-IP3R1) or IIIE-IP3R1 in oocytes containing endogenous receptors caused dominant negative-like effects on Ca(2+) release and oscillations. Therefore, we first selectively removed the endogenous IP3R1, and subsequently expressed the exogenous receptors. We found that in response to injection of PLCζ cRNA, eggs without endogenous IP3R1 failed to mount persistent Ca(2+) oscillations, although expression of wt-IP3R1 restored their [Ca(2+)]i oscillatory activity. We also observed that the Ca(2+) oscillatory ability and the sensitivity to IP3 in eggs expressing IIIE-IP3R1 were greater than in those expressing wt-IP3R1. Lastly, we found that exogenous IP3R1s are resistant to downregulation and support longer oscillations and of higher amplitude. Altogether, our results show that phosphorylations by Cdk1 and MAPK enhance the activity of IP3R1, which is consistent with its maximal activity observed at the time of fertilization and the role of Ca(2+) release in egg activation.

Abstract
Cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis is tightly regulated and is pivotal to life. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are the major ion channels that regulate Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores. Although these channels have been extensively investigated in multicellular organisms, an appreciation of their evolution and the biology of orthologs in unicellular organisms is largely lacking. Extensive phylogenetic analyses reveal that the IP3R gene superfamily is ancient and diverged into two subfamilies, IP3R-A and IP3R-B/RyR, at the dawn of Opisthokonta. IP3R-B/RyR further diversified into IP3R-B and RyR at the stem of Filozoa. Subsequent evolution and speciation of Holozoa is associated with duplication of IP3R-A and RyR genes, and loss of IP3R-B in the vertebrate lineages. To gain insight into the properties of IP3R important for the challenges of multicellularity, the IP3R-A and IP3R-B family orthologs were cloned from Capsaspora owczarzaki, a close unicellular relative to Metazoa (designated as CO.IP3R-A and CO.IP3R-B). Both proteins were targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum. However, CO.IP3R-A, but strikingly not CO.IP3R-B, bound IP3, exhibited robust Ca(2+) release activity and associated with mammalian IP3Rs. These data indicate strongly that CO.IP3R-A as an exemplar of ancestral IP3R-A orthologs forms bona fide IP3-gated channels. Notably, however, CO.IP3R-A appears not to be regulated by Ca(2+), ATP or Protein kinase A-phosphorylation. Collectively, our findings explore the origin, conservation, and diversification of IP3R gene families and provide insight into the functionality of ancestral IP3Rs and the added specialization of these proteins in Metazoa.

Abstract
Adhesion molecules expressed by periodontal connective tissue cells are involved in cell migration, matrix remodeling and inflammatory responses to infection. Currently, the processes by which the biologic activity of these molecules are appropriately regulated in time and space to preserve tissue homeostasis, and to control inflammatory responses and tissue regeneration, are not defined. As cell adhesions are heterogeneous, dynamic, contain a complex group of interacting molecules and are strongly influenced by the type of substrate to which they adhere, we focus on how cell adhesions in periodontal connective tissues contribute to information generation and processing that regulate periodontal structure and function. We also consider how proteomic methods can be applied to discover novel cell-adhesion proteins that could potentially contribute to the form and function of periodontal tissues.

Abstract
Autophagy is a process that maintains the equilibrium between biosynthesis and the recycling of cellular constituents; it is critical for avoiding the pathophysiology that results from imbalance in cellular homeostasis. Recent reports indicate the need for the design of high-throughput screening assays to identify targets and small molecules for autophagy modulation. For such screening, however, a better understanding of the regulation of autophagy is essential. In addition to regulation by various signalling cascades, regulation of gene expression by transcription factors is also critical. This review focuses on the various transcription factors as well as the corresponding signalling molecules that act together to translate the stimuli to effector molecules that up- or downregulate autophagy. This review rationalizes the importance of these transcription factors functioning in tandem with cognate signalling molecules and their interfaces as possible therapeutic targets for more specific pharmacological interventions.

Abstract
The guanine nucleotide exchange factor SLAT (SWAP-70-like adaptor of T cells) regulates T cell activation and differentiation by enabling Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores in response to stimulation of the T cell receptor (TCR). We found a TCR-induced association between SLAT and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor type 1 (IP3R1). The N-terminal region of SLAT, which contains two EF-hand motifs that we determined bound Ca(2+), and the SLAT pleckstrin homology (PH) domain independently bound to IP3R1 by associating with a conserved motif within the IP3R1 ligand-binding domain. Disruption of the SLAT-IP3R1 interaction with cell-permeable, IP3R1-based fusion peptides inhibited TCR-stimulated Ca(2+) signaling, activation of the transcription factor NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells), and production of cytokines, suggesting that this interaction is required for optimal T cell activation. The finding that SLAT is an IP3R1-interacting protein required for T cell activation suggests that this interaction could be a potential target for a selective immunosuppressive drug.

Abstract
Our previous studies identified the 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), a channel mediating release of Ca2+ from ER stores, as a cellular factor differentially associated with HIV-1 Gag that might facilitate ESCRT function in virus budding. Channel opening requires activation that is initiated by binding of 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3), a product of phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated PI(4,5)P2 hydrolysis. The store emptying that follows stimulates store refilling which requires intact PI(4,5)P2. Raising cytosolic Ca2+ promotes viral particle production and our studies indicate that IP3R and the ER Ca2+ store are the physiological providers of Ca2+ for Gag assembly and release. Here, we show that Gag modulates ER store gating and refilling. Cells expressing Gag exhibited a higher cytosolic Ca2+ level originating from the ER store than control cells, suggesting that Gag induced release of store Ca2+. This property required the PTAP motif in Gag that recruits Tsg101, an ESCRT-1 component. Consistent with cytosolic Ca2+ elevation, Gag accumulation at the plasma membrane was found to require continuous IP3R activation. Like other IP3R channel modulators, Gag was detected in physical proximity to the ER and to endogenous IP3R, as indicated respectively by total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) and immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) or indirect immunofluorescence. Reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation suggested that Gag and IP3R proximity is favored when the PTAP motif in Gag is intact. Gag expression was also accompanied by increased PI(4,5)P2 accumulation at the plasma membrane, a condition favoring store refilling capacity. Supporting this notion, Gag particle production was impervious to treatment with 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, an inhibitor of a refilling coupling interaction. In contrast, particle production by a Gag mutant lacking the PTAP motif was reduced. We conclude that a functional PTAP L domain, and by inference Tsg101 binding, confers Gag with an ability to modulate both ER store Ca2+ release and ER store refilling.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing technique developed with dramatically increasing utility for both scientific and therapeutic purposes. Short interfering RNA (siRNA) is currently exploited to regulate protein expression relevant to many therapeutic applications, and commonly used as a tool for elucidating disease-associated genes. Osteoporosis and their associated osteoporotic fragility fractures in both men and women are rapidly becoming a global healthcare crisis as average life expectancy increases worldwide. New therapeutics are needed for this increasing patient population. This review describes the diversity of molecular targets suitable for RNAi-based gene knock down in osteoclasts to control osteoclast-mediated excessive bone resorption. We identify strategies for developing targeted siRNA delivery and efficient gene silencing, and describe opportunities and challenges of introducing siRNA as a therapeutic approach to hard and connective tissue disorders.

Abstract
Group B coxsackieviruses (CVB) are associated with viral-induced heart disease and are among the leading causes of aseptic meningitis worldwide. Here we show that CVB entry into polarized brain microvasculature and aortic endothelial cells triggers a depletion of intracellular calcium stores initiated through viral attachment to the apical attachment factor decay-accelerating factor. Calcium release was dependent upon a signaling cascade that required the activity of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, phospholipase C, and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor isoform 3. CVB-mediated calcium release was required for the activation of calpain-2, a calcium-dependent cysteine protease, which controlled the vesicular trafficking of internalized CVB particles. These data point to a specific role for calcium signaling in CVB entry into polarized endothelial monolayers and highlight the unique signaling mechanisms used by these viruses to cross endothelial barriers. Enteroviruses are associated with a number of diverse syndromes such as myocarditis, febrile illness, and are the main causative agents of aseptic meningitis. No effective therapeutics exist to combat non-poliovirus enterovirus infections. A better understanding of the mechanisms by which these viruses infect host cells could lead to the design of effective therapeutic interventions. In this study, we found that intracellular calcium stores in polarized endothelial monolayers are depleted upon exposure to coxsackievirus B (CVB) and that this release is mediated by viral attachment to its receptor decay-accelerating factor. We also discovered that the calcium release requires the activation of signaling molecules involved in calcium signaling such as Src tyrosine kinases, phospholipase C, and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor isoform 3 on the ER membrane. Furthermore, we found that a calcium-activated cystein protease, calpain-2, was activated and necessary for proper viral trafficking inside the cell. Interestingly, we found that this signaling cascade was critical for CVB internalization into the endothelium, but was not involved in CVB entry into the epithelium. This is an important advance in our understanding of how enteroviruses hijack host endothelial cell signaling mechanisms in order to facilitate their entry and eventual spread.

T cell receptor activation induces inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP(3))-mediated calcium signaling that is essential for cell metabolism and survival. Moreover, inhibitors of IP(3) or pharmacological agents that disrupt calcium homeostasis readily induce autophagy. Using a glucocorticoid-sensitive CD4/CD8 positive T cell line, we found that dexamethasone prevented both IP(3)-mediated and spontaneous calcium signals within a timeframe that correlated with the induction of autophagy. We determined that this loss in IP(3)-mediated calcium signaling was dependent upon the downregulation of the Src kinase Fyn at the mRNA and protein level. Because it has previously been shown that Fyn positively regulates IP(3)-mediated calcium release by phosphorylating Type I IP(3) receptors (IP(3)R1), we investigated the effect of glucocorticoids on IP(3)R1 phosphorylation at Tyr353. Accordingly, glucocorticoid-mediated downregulation of Fyn prevented IP(3)R1 phosphorylation at Tyr353. Moreover, selective knockdown of Fyn or treatment with a Src inhibitor also attenuated IP(3)-mediated calcium release and induced autophagy. Collectively, these data indicate that glucocorticoids promote autophagy by inhibiting IP(3)-dependent calcium signals. These findings carry important therapeutic implications given the widespread use of dexamethasone as both a chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive agent.

Abstract
Osteoclast activity is central to balanced bone turnover to maintain normal bone mass. A specialized osteoclast attachment to bone localizes acid secretion to remove bone mineral; in some cases, attachment is functionally impaired despite normal attachment proteins. The inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-1 (IP3R1) is an intracellular calcium channel required for regulation of reversible osteoclast attachment by nitric oxide (NO), an important regulator of both normal and pathological bone degradation. In studies using human osteoclasts produced in vitro, we found that IP3R1 binds an endosomal isoform of the IP3R-associated cGMP-dependent kinase substrate (IRAG). IRAG is a substrate of cGMP-dependent kinase-1 (PKG1) and binds the PKG1 isoform PKG1β, which was the predominant form of PKG1 in human osteoclasts. Western blots of IRAG were consistent with NO-dependent serine phosphorylation of IRAG. An additional effect of PKG1β activity in osteoclasts was disassociation of IP3R1-IRAG complexes, as shown by analysis of IP3R1 complexes and by localization of the proteins within cells. IP3R1-IRAG complexes were stabilized by PKG or Src antagonists, Src activity being a requirement for IP3R1 calcium release downstream of PKG. IP3R1-mediated calcium release regulates cellular detachment in part through the calcium-dependent proteinase μ-calpain. In osteoclasts with IRAG suppressed by siRNA, activity of μ-calpain was increased relative to cells with normal IRAG, and regulation of μ-calpain by NO was lost. Furthermore, cells deficient in IRAG detached easily from substrate and had smaller attached diameters and randomly distributed podosomes, although IRAG knockdown did not affect cell viability. Our results indicate that IRAG is required for PKG1β-regulated cyclic calcium release during motility, and that disruption of the IP3R1-IRAG calcium regulation system is a novel cause of dysfunctional osteoclasts unrelated to defects in attachment proteins or acid secretion.

Abstract
Fyn kinase is highly expressed in oocytes, with inhibitor and dominant-negative studies suggesting a role in the signal transduction events during egg activation. The purpose of the present investigation was to test the hypothesis that Fyn is required for calcium signalling, meiosis resumption and pronuclear congression using the Fyn-knockout mouse as a model. Accelerated breeding studies revealed that Fyn-null females produced smaller litter sizes at longer intervals and exhibited a rapid decline in pup production with increasing age. Fyn-null females produced a similar number of oocytes, but the frequency of immature oocytes and mature oocytes with spindle chromosome abnormalities was significantly higher than in controls. Fertilised Fyn-null oocytes frequently (24%) failed to undergo pronuclear congression and remained at the one-cell stage. Stimulation with gonadotropins increased the number of oocytes ovulated, but did not overcome the above defects. Fyn-null oocytes overexpressed Yes kinase in an apparent effort to compensate for the loss of Fyn, yet still exhibited an altered pattern of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. In summary, Fyn-null female mice exhibit reduced fertility that appears to result from actin cytoskeletal defects rather than calcium signalling. These defects cause developmental arrest during oocyte maturation and pronuclear congression.

Abstract
Calcium plays multiple roles in osteoclast formation, survival, and activity. Intracellular calcium is determined both by the release of intracellular stores and the influx of extracellular calcium through a variety of calcium channels. Osteoclasts express several classes of calcium channels, including ryanodine receptors (RyRs), inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs), and calcium release-activated calcium channels (CRACs), which respond to depletion of intracellular stores. IP(3)R2 is expressed in osteoclast precursors and activated by cytokines that stimulate osteoclast differentiation. In mature osteoclasts, the IP(3)R1 isoform is highly expressed and is implicated in nitric oxide-cGMP-stimulated processes. RyR calcium channels may contribute to the release of intracellular calcium stores, while RyR2 in the plasma membrane may act to limit osteoclast activity based on extracellular calcium concentration. Orai, through regulation by endoplasmic reticular store-sensing proteins, including Stim-1, may also mediate calcium influx and act as a signal amplifier for calcium release by other calcium channels. Together, these receptors allow intracellular Ca(2+) signals to modulate bone turnover and, through calcium-sensing functions, allow coupling of osteoclast activity to extracellular conditions and integrating additional cytokine and nitric oxide signals via transient intracellular calcium signals.

Abstract
Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are intracellular Ca2+ channels that are regulated by IP3 and Ca2+ and are modulated by many additional signals. These properties allow them to initiate and, via Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, regeneratively propagate Ca2+ signals evoked by receptors that stimulate formation of IP3. The ubiquitous expression of IP3R highlights their importance, but it also presents problems when attempting to resolve the behavior of defined IP3R. DT40 cells are a pre-B-lymphocyte cell line in which high rates of homologous recombination afford unrivalled opportunities to disrupt endogenous genes. DT40-knockout cells with both alleles of each of the three IP3R genes disrupted provide the only null-background for analysis of homogenous recombinant IP3R. We review the properties of DT40 cells and consider three areas where they have contributed to understanding IP3R behavior. Patch-clamp recording from the nuclear envelope and Ca2+ release from intracellular stores loaded with a low-affinity Ca2+ indicator address the mechanisms leading to activation of IP(3)R. We show that IP3 causes intracellular IP3R to cluster and re-tune their responses to IP3 and Ca2+, better equipping them to mediate regenerative Ca2+ signals. Finally, we show that DT40 cells reliably count very few IP3R into the plasma membrane, where they mediate about half the Ca2+ entry evoked by the B-cell antigen receptor.

Abstract
SWAP-70-like adapter of T cells (SLAT) is a recently identified guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Cdc42 and Rac1, which is highly expressed in both thymocytes and peripheral T cells. Here, we present and discuss findings resulting from biochemical and genetic analyses aimed at unveiling the role of SLAT in CD4+ T-cell development, activation, and T-helper (Th) cell differentiation. Slat(-/-) mice display a developmental defect at one of the earliest stages of thymocyte differentiation, the double negative 1 (DN1) stage, leading to decreased peripheral T-cell numbers. Slat(-/-) peripheral CD4+ T cells demonstrate impaired T-cell receptor/CD28-induced proliferation and IL-2 production. Moreover, SLAT positively regulates the development of Th1 and Th2 inflammatory responses by controlling Ca2+/NFAT signaling. SLAT is also a positive regulator of the recently emerging Th subset, i.e., Th17 cells, as evidenced by its critical role in Th17 cell-mediated central nervous system inflammation. Furthermore, TCR engagement induces SLAT translocation to the immunological synapse, a process mediated by its Lck-dependent phosphorylation, which thereafter facilitates the triggering of SLAT GEF activity towards Cdc42 and Rac1, leading to NFAT activation and Th1/Th2 differentiation. Future work will aim to dissect the interacting partners of SLAT and may thus shed light on the poorly understood events that coordinate and link actin cytoskeleton reorganization to Ca2+ signaling and gene transcription in T cells.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are potent immunosuppressive agents that block upstream signaling events required for T cell receptor (TCR) activation. However, the mechanism by which glucocorticoids inhibit downstream responses, such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-induced calcium signals, is not completely understood. Here we demonstrate that low concentrations of dexamethasone rapidly convert transient calcium elevations to oscillations after strong TCR stimulation. Dexamethasone converted the pattern of calcium signaling by inhibiting the Src family kinase Lck, which was shown to interact with and positively regulate Type I IP(3) receptor. In addition, low concentrations of dexamethasone were sufficient to inhibit calcium oscillations and interleukin-2 mRNA after weak TCR stimulation. Together, these findings indicate that by inhibiting Lck and subsequently down-regulating IP(3) receptors, glucocorticoids suppress immune responses by weakening the strength of the TCR signal.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) signaling by the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) is dependent on focal adhesions, which contain diverse structural and signaling proteins including protein phosphatases. We examined here the role of protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) alpha in regulating IL-1-induced Ca2+ signaling in fibroblasts. IL-1 promoted recruitment of PTPalpha to focal adhesions and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fractions, as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of the ER Ca2+ release channel IP3R. In response to IL-1, catalytically active PTPalpha was required for Ca2+ release from the ER, Src-dependent phosphorylation of IP3R1 and accumulation of IP3R1 in focal adhesions. In pulldown assays and immunoprecipitations PTPalpha was required for the association of PTPalpha with IP3R1 and c-Src, and this association was increased by IL-1. Collectively, these data indicate that PTPalpha acts as an adaptor to mediate functional links between focal adhesions and the ER that enable IL-1-induced Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the major contributor to dementia in the elderly, involves accumulation in the brain of extracellular plaques containing the beta-amyloid protein (Abeta) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. AD is also characterized by a loss of neurons, particularly those expressing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), thereby leading to a reduction in nAChR numbers. The Abeta(1-42) protein, which is toxic to neurons, is critical to the onset and progression of AD. The discovery of new drug therapies for AD is likely to be accelerated by an improved understanding of the mechanisms whereby Abeta causes neuronal death. We examine the evidence for a role in Abeta(1-42) toxicity of nAChRs; paradoxically, nAChRs can also protect neurons when activated by nicotinic ligands. Abeta peptides and nicotine differentially activate several intracellular signaling pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog pathway, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase, and JAK-2/STAT-3 pathways. These pathways control cell death or survival and the secretion of Abeta peptides. We propose that understanding the differential activation of these pathways by nicotine and/or Abeta(1-42) may offer the prospect of new routes to therapy for AD.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) is a universal intracellular Ca2+-release channel. It is activated after cell stimulation and plays a crucial role in the initiation and propagation of the complex spatio-temporal Ca2+ signals that control cellular processes as different as fertilization, cell division, cell migration, differentiation, metabolism, muscle contraction, secretion, neuronal processing, and ultimately cell death. To achieve these various functions, often in a single cell, exquisite control of the Ca2+ release is needed. This review aims to highlight how protein kinases and protein phosphatases can interact with the IP3R or with associated proteins and so provide a large potential for fine tuning the Ca2+-release activity and for creating efficient Ca2+ signals in subcellular microdomains.

Abstract
Sustained elevation of intracellular calcium by Ca2+ release–activated Ca2+ channels is required for lymphocyte activation. Sustained Ca2+ entry requires endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ depletion and prolonged activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)/Ca2+ release channels. However, a major isoform in lymphocyte ER, IP3R1, is inhibited by elevated levels of cytosolic Ca2+, and the mechanism that enables the prolonged activation of IP3R1 required for lymphocyte activation is unclear. We show that IP3R1 binds to the scaffolding protein linker of activated T cells and colocalizes with the T cell receptor during activation, resulting in persistent phosphorylation of IP3R1 at Tyr353. This phosphorylation increases the sensitivity of the channel to activation by IP3 and renders the channel less sensitive to Ca2+-induced inactivation. Expression of a mutant IP3R1-Y353F channel in lymphocytes causes defective Ca2+ signaling and decreased nuclear factor of activated T cells activation. Thus, tyrosine phosphorylation of IP3R1-Y353 may have an important function in maintaining elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels during lymphocyte activation.

Abstract
In skeletal remodeling, osteoclasts degrade bone, detach and move to new locations. Mechanical stretch and estrogen regulate osteoclast motility via nitric oxide (NO). We have found previously that NO stimulates guanylyl cyclase, activating the cGMP-dependent protein kinase 1 (PKG1), reversibly terminating osteoclast matrix degradation and attachment, and initiating motility. The PKG1 substrate vasodilator-stimulated protein (VASP), a membrane-attachment-related protein found in complexes with the integrin alphavbeta3 in adherent osteoclasts, was also required for motility. Here, we studied downstream mechanisms by which the NO-dependent pathway mediates osteoclast relocation. We found that NO-stimulated motility is dependent on activation of the Ca(2+)-activated proteinase mu-calpain. RNA interference (RNAi) showed that NO-dependent activation of mu-calpain also requires PKG1 and VASP. Inhibition of Src kinases, which are involved in the regulation of adhesion complexes, also abolished NO-stimulated calpain activity. Pharmacological inhibition and RNAi showed that calpain activation in this process is mediated by the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor 1 [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R1] Ca(2+) channel. We conclude that NO-induced motility in osteoclasts requires regulated Ca(2+) release, which activates mu-calpain. This occurs via the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R1.

Abstract
It is known that the Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit interacts directly with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)) receptors. In this study we tested whether this interaction is required for extracellular stimuli to efficiently regulate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) release. Using cultured pig kidney LLC-PK1 cells as a model, we demonstrated that graded knockdown of the cellular Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit resulted in a parallel attenuation of ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release. When the knockdown cells were rescued by knocking in a rat alpha1, the expression of rat alpha1 restored not only the cellular Na/K-ATPase but also ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release. Mechanistically, this defect in ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release was neither due to the changes in the amount or the function of cellular IP(3) and P2Y receptors nor the ER Ca(2+) content. However, the alpha1 knockdown did redistribute cellular IP(3) receptors. The pool of IP(3) receptors that resided close to the plasma membrane was abolished. Because changes in the plasma membrane proximity could reduce the efficiency of signal transmission from P2Y receptors to the ER, we further determined the dose-dependent effects of ATP on protein kinase Cepsilon activation and ER Ca(2+) release. The data showed that the alpha1 knockdown de-sensitized the ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release but not PKCepsilon activation. Moreover, expression of the N terminus of Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit not only disrupted the formation of the Na/K-ATPase-IP(3) receptor complex but also abolished the ATP-induced Ca(2+) release. Finally, we observed that the alpha1 knockdown was also effective in attenuating ER Ca(2+) release provoked by angiotensin II and epidermal growth factor.

Abstract
The Src family kinases (SFKs) are believed to mediate some of the early events of egg activation at fertilization--intracellular Ca2+ increase and resumption of the second meiotic division (RMII). SFKs are both necessary and sufficient for triggering intracellular Ca2+ increase in eggs of sea urchin, sea star, Xenopus etc, but their role in mammalian eggs is not entirely determined. In this study we examined the involvement of SFKs in the events leading to Ca2+ increase in rat eggs and demonstrated their involvement in RMII. Microinjecting mRNAs of active forms of Fyn or c-Yes but not of c-Src, into ovulated eggs, triggered RMII without evoking Ca2+ increase. A specific SFKs inhibitor (SU6656) or dominant-negative (DN) forms of Fyn or c-Yes were unable to block Ca2+ oscillations rather, modulated them, in fertilized eggs or in parthenogenetically activated eggs. Moreover, inhibiting SFKs activity blocked RMII and decreased the level of cyclin B1 degradation. Our results imply participation of SFKs in the signal transduction pathway leading to egg activation, but not in the one leading to Ca2+ increase. We propose that SFKs act downstream to Ca2+ increase at the level of M-phase promoting factor (MPF).

Abstract
B cells respond to antigen stimulation with mobilization of the Ca(2+) second messenger in two phases operated by two distinct sets of effector proteins. First, an antigen receptor-specific Ca(2+) initiation complex is assembled, activated, and targeted to the plasma membrane to trigger the transient release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores of the endoplasmic reticulum. Second, more ubiquitously expressed Ca(2+) channels of the plasma membrane are opened to allow for sustained Ca(2+) influx from the extracellular medium. Depending on the developmental stage of the B cell, the kinetics and profile of the two phases are adjusted at multiple levels of positive and negative regulation. A molecular basis for the Ca(2+) signaling plasticity is provided by cytosolic and transmembrane adapter proteins. They act as signal organizers, which control enzyme/substrate interactions by directing the different signaling modules into specific subcellular compartments. These arrangements orchestrate a graduated activation of Ca(2+)-sensitive downstream pathways, which ultimately determine appropriate cellular responses, namely elimination of autoreactive B cells or proliferation and differentiation of immunocompetent B cells into antibody-secreting plasma cells.

Abstract
Vav1 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that is expressed specifically in hematopoietic cells and plays important roles in T cell development and activation. Vav1 consists of multiple structural domains so as to facilitate both its guanine nucleotide exchange activity and scaffold function following T cell antigen receptor (TCR) engagement. Previous studies demonstrated that the calponin homology (CH) domain of Vav1 is required for TCR-stimulated calcium mobilization and thus downstream activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells. However, it remained obscure how Vav1 functions in regulating calcium flux. In an effort to explore molecules interacting with Vav1, we found that calmodulin bound to Vav1 in a calcium-dependent and TCR activation-independent manner. The binding site was mapped to the CH domain of Vav1. Reconstitution of vav1-null Jurkat T cells (J.Vav1) with CH-deleted Vav1 exhibited a severe deficiency in calcium release to the same extent as that of Jurkat cells treated with the calmodulin inhibitor or J.Vav1 cells. The defect persisted even when phospholipase-Cgamma1 was fully activated, indicating a prerequisite role of Vav1 CH domain in calcium signaling. The results suggest that Vav1 and calmodulin function cooperatively to potentiate TCR-induced calcium release. This study unveiled a mechanism by which the Vav1 CH domain is involved in calcium signaling and provides insight into our understanding of the role of Vav1 in T cell activation.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor (IP(3)R) can be divided in three functionally distinct regions: a ligand-binding domain, a modulatory domain and a channel domain. Numerous regulatory mechanisms including inter- and intra-molecular protein-protein interactions and phosphorylation events act via these domains to regulate the function of the IP(3)R. Regulation at the level of the ligand-binding domain primarily affects the affinity for IP(3). The extent of IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR) is, however, not only determined by the affinity for IP(3) but also by the effectiveness of the coupling between ligand binding and channel opening. As a result, regulation as well as malfunction of IICR may be affected by both steps in the activation mechanism. The 3D structures of the two subdomains of the ligand-binding domain have recently been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. This allows a more detailed molecular explanation of the regulatory events situated at the ligand-binding domain of the IP(3)R. In this review, we will focus on recent structural and functional data on the ligand-binding domain that have extended and clarified the view on the molecular mechanisms of IP(3)R regulation.

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
Fluctuations in cytosolic Ca(2+) are crucial for a variety of cellular processes including many aspects of development. Mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) stores via the production of inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) and the consequent activation of IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) channels is a ubiquitous means by which diverse stimuli mediate their cellular effects. Although IP(3) receptors have been well studied at fertilization, information regarding their possible involvement during subsequent development is scant. In the present study we examined the role of IP(3) receptors in early development of the zebrafish. We report the first molecular analysis of zebrafish IP(3) receptors which indicates that, like mammals, the zebrafish genome contains three distinct IP(3) receptor genes. mRNA for all isoforms was detectable at differing levels by the 64 cell stage, and IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) transients could be readily generated (by flash photolysis) in a controlled fashion throughout the cleavage period in vivo. Furthermore, we show that early blastula formation was disrupted by pharmacological blockade of IP(3) receptors or phospholipase C, by molecular inhibition of the former by injection of IRBIT (IP(3) receptor-binding protein released with IP(3)) and by depletion of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores after completion of the second cell cycle. Inhibition of Ca(2+) entry or ryanodine receptors, however, had little effect. Our work defines the importance of IP(3) receptors during early development of a genetically and optically tractable model vertebrate organism.

Abstract
Modulation on the duration of intracellular Ca(2+) transients is essential for B-cell activation. We have previously shown that extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) can phosphorylate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP(3)R1) at serine 436 and regulate its calcium channel activity. Here we investigate the potential physiological interaction between ERK and IP(3)R1 using chicken DT40 B-cell line in which different mutants are expressed. The interaction between ERK and IP(3)R1 is confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays. This constitutive interaction is independent of either ERK kinase activation or IP(3)R1 phosphorylation status. Back phosphorylation analysis further shows that type 1 IP(3)R (IP(3)R1) is phosphorylated by ERK in anti-IgM-activated DT40 cells. Finally, our data show that the phosphorylation of Ser 436 in the IP(3)-binding domain of IP(3)R1 leads to less Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) microsomes and accelerates the declining of calcium increase in DT40 cells in response to anti-IgM stimulation.

Abstract
Type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R1) is a widely expressed intracellular calcium-release channel found in many cell types. The operation of IP(3)R1 is regulated through phosphorylation by multiple protein kinases. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) has been found involved in calcium signaling in distinct cell types, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we present evidence that ERK1/2 and IP(3)R1 bind together through an ERK binding motif in mouse cerebellum in vivo as well as in vitro. ERK-phosphorylating serines (Ser 436) was identified in mouse IP(3)R1 and Ser 436 phosphorylation had a suppressive effect on IP(3) binding to the recombinant N-terminal 604-amino acid residues (N604). Moreover, phosphorylation of Ser 436 in R(224-604) evidently enhance its interaction with the N-terminal "suppressor" region (N223). At last, our data showed that Ser 436 phosphorylation in IP(3)R1 decreased Ca(2+) releasing through IP(3)R1 channels.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of Bcl-2 on Ca2+ signaling in T cells, we continuously monitored Ca2+ concentration in Bcl-2–positive and –negative clones of the WEHI7.2 T cell line after T cell receptor (TCR) activation by anti-CD3 antibody. In Bcl-2–negative cells, high concentrations of anti-CD3 antibody induced a transient Ca2+ elevation, triggering apoptosis. In contrast, low concentrations of anti-CD3 antibody induced Ca2+ oscillations, activating the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), a prosurvival transcription factor. Bcl-2 blocked the transient Ca2+ elevation induced by high anti-CD3, thereby inhibiting apoptosis, but did not inhibit Ca2+ oscillations and NFAT activation induced by low anti-CD3. Reduction in the level of all three inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor subtypes by small interfering RNA inhibited the Ca2+ elevation induced by high but not low anti-CD3, suggesting that Ca2+ responses to high and low anti-CD3 may have different requirements for the InsP3 receptor. Therefore, Bcl-2 selectively inhibits proapoptotic Ca2+ elevation induced by strong TCR activation without hindering prosurvival Ca2+ signals induced by weak TCR activation.
