Abstract
Satellite cells are indispensable for skeletal muscle regeneration and hypertrophy by forming nascent myofibers (myotubes). They synthesize multi-potent modulator netrins (secreted subtypes: netrin-1, -3, and -4), originally found as classical neural axon guidance molecules. While netrin-1 and -3 have key roles in myogenic differentiation, the physiological significance of netrin-4 is still unclear. This study examined whether netrin-4 regulates myofiber type commitment and myotube formation. Initially, the expression profiles indicated that satellite cells isolated from the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL muscle: fast-twitch myofiber-abundant) expressed slightly more netrin-4 than the soleus muscle (slow-type abundant) cells. As netrin-4 knockdown inhibited both slow- and fast-type myotube formation, netrin-4 may not directly regulate myofiber type commitment. However, netrin-4 knockdown in satellite cell-derived myoblasts reduced the myotube fusion index, while exogenous netrin-4 promoted myotube formation, even though netrin-4 expression level was maximum during the initiation stage of myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, netrin-4 knockdown also inhibited MyoD (a master transcriptional factor of myogenesis) and Myomixer (a myoblast fusogenic molecule) expression. These data suggest that satellite cells synthesize netrin-4 during myogenic differentiation initiation to promote their own fusion, stimulating the MyoD-Myomixer signaling axis.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is a major regulator of store-operated calcium entry in non-excitable cells. Recent studies have suggested that STIM1 plays a role in pathological hypertrophy; however, the physiological role of STIM1 in the heart is not well understood. We have shown that mice with a cardiomyocyte deletion of STIM1 (cr STIM1-/- ) develop ER stress, mitochondrial, and metabolic abnormalities, and dilated cardiomyopathy. However, the specific signaling pathways and kinases regulated by STIM1 are largely unknown. Therefore, we used a discovery-based kinomics approach to identify kinases differentially regulated by STIM1. Twelve-week male control and cr STIM1-/- mice were injected with saline or phenylephrine (PE, 15 mg/kg, s.c, 15 min), and hearts obtained for analysis of the Serine/threonine kinome. Primary analysis was performed using BioNavigator 6.0 (PamGene), using scoring from the Kinexus PhosphoNET database and GeneGo network modeling, and confirmed using standard immunoblotting. Kinomics revealed significantly lower PKG and protein kinase C (PKC) signaling in the hearts of the cr STIM1-/- in comparison to control hearts, confirmed by immunoblotting for the calcium-dependent PKC isoform PKCα and its downstream target MARCKS. Similar reductions in cr STIM1-/- hearts were found for the kinases: MEK1/2, AMPK, and PDPK1, and in the activity of the Ca2+ -dependent phosphatase, calcineurin. Electrocardiogram analysis also revealed that cr STIM1-/- mice have significantly lower HR and prolonged QT interval. In conclusion, we have shown several calcium-dependent kinases and phosphatases are regulated by STIM1 in the adult mouse heart. This has important implications in understanding how STIM1 contributes to the regulation of cardiac physiology and pathophysiology.

Abundant Synthesis of Netrin-1 in Satellite Cell-Derived Myoblasts Isolated from EDL Rather Than Soleus Muscle Regulates Fast-Type Myotube Formation. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22094499.

Abstract
Resident myogenic stem cells (satellite cells) are attracting attention for their novel roles in myofiber type regulation. In the myogenic differentiation phase, satellite cells from soleus muscle (slow fiber-abundant) synthesize and secrete higher levels of semaphorin 3A (Sema3A, a multifunctional modulator) than those derived from extensor digitorum longus (EDL; fast fiber-abundant), suggesting the role of Sema3A in forming slow-twitch myofibers. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying fast-twitch myotube commitment remain unclear. Herein, we focused on netrin family members (netrin-1, -3, and -4) that compete with Sema3A in neurogenesis and osteogenesis. We examined whether netrins affect fast-twitch myotube generation by evaluating their expression in primary satellite cell cultures. Initially, netrins are upregulated during myogenic differentiation. Next, we compared the expression levels of netrins and their cell membrane receptors between soleus- and EDL-derived satellite cells; only netrin-1 showed higher expression in EDL-derived satellite cells than in soleus-derived satellite cells. We also performed netrin-1 knockdown experiments and additional experiments with recombinant netrin-1 in differentiated satellite cell-derived myoblasts. Netrin-1 knockdown in myoblasts substantially reduced fast-type myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression; exogenous netrin-1 upregulated fast-type MyHC in satellite cells. Thus, netrin-1 synthesized in EDL-derived satellite cells may promote myofiber type commitment of fast muscles.

Abstract
The ion pump Na+, K+-ATPase (NKA) is a receptor for the cardiotonic steroid ouabain. Subsaturating concentration of ouabain triggers intracellular calcium oscillations, stimulates cell proliferation and adhesion, and protects from apoptosis. However, it is controversial whether ouabain-bound NKA is considered a signal transducer. To address this question, we performed a global analysis of protein phosphorylation in COS-7 cells, identifying 2580 regulated phosphorylation events on 1242 proteins upon 10- and 20-min treatment with ouabain. Regulated phosphorylated proteins include the inositol triphosphate receptor and stromal interaction molecule, which are essential for initiating calcium oscillations. Hierarchical clustering revealed that ouabain triggers a structured phosphorylation response that occurs in a well-defined, time-dependent manner and affects specific cellular processes, including cell proliferation and cell-cell junctions. We additionally identify regulation of the phosphorylation of several calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CAMKs), including 2 sites of CAMK type II-γ (CAMK2G), a protein known to regulate apoptosis. To verify the significance of this result, CAMK2G was knocked down in primary kidney cells. CAMK2G knockdown impaired ouabain-dependent protection from apoptosis upon treatment with high glucose or serum deprivation. In conclusion, we establish NKA as the coordinator of a broad, tightly regulated phosphorylation response in cells and define CAMK2G as a downstream effector of NKA.-Panizza, E., Zhang, L., Fontana, J.

Abstract
MyoD functions as a master regulator to induce muscle-specific gene expression and myogenic differentiation. Here, we demonstrate a positive role of Protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (Prmt7) in MyoD-mediated myoblast differentiation through p38MAPK activation. Prmt7 depletion in primary or C2C12 myoblasts impairs cell cycle withdrawal and myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, Prmt7 depletion decreases the MyoD-reporter activities and the MyoD-mediated myogenic conversion of fibroblasts. Together with MyoD, Prmt7 is recruited to the Myogenin promoter region and Prmt7 depletion attenuates the recruitment of MyoD and its coactivators. The mechanistic study reveals that Prmt7 methylates p38MAPKα at the arginine residue 70, thereby promoting its activation which in turn enhances MyoD activities. The arginine residue 70 to alanine mutation in p38MAPKα impedes MyoD/E47 heterodimerization and the recruitment of Prmt7, MyoD and Baf60c to the Myogenin promoter resulting in blunted Myogenin expression. In conclusion, Prmt7 promotes MyoD-mediated myoblast differentiation through methylation of p38MAPKα at arginine residue 70.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is one of the key elements for the activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Hence, identification of the relevant phosphorylatable STIM1 residues with a possible role in the regulation of STIM1 function and SOCE is of interest. By performing a computational analysis, we identified that the Y316 residue is susceptible to phosphorylation. Expression of the STIM1-Y316F mutant in HEK293, NG115-401L and MEG-01 cells resulted in a reduction in STIM1 tyrosine phosphorylation, SOCE and the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current (ICRAC). STIM1-Orai1 colocalization was reduced in HEK293 cells transfected with YFP-STIM1-Y316F compared to in cells with wild-type (WT) YFP-tagged STIM1. Additionally, the Y316F mutation altered the pattern of interaction between STIM1 and SARAF under resting conditions and upon Ca2+ store depletion. Expression of the STIM1 Y316F mutant enhanced slow Ca2+-dependent inactivation (SCDI) as compared to STIM1 WT, an effect that was abolished by SARAF knockdown. Finally, in NG115-401L cells transfected with shRNA targeting SARAF, expression of STIM1 Y316F induced greater SOCE than STIM1 WT. Taken together, our results provide evidence supporting the idea that phosphorylation of STIM1 at Y316 plays a relevant functional role in the activation and modulation of SOCE.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle contracts or relaxes to maintain the body position and locomotion. For the contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle, Ca2+ in the cytosol of skeletal muscle fibers acts as a switch to turn on and off a series of contractile proteins. The cytosolic Ca2+ level in skeletal muscle fibers is governed mainly by movements of Ca2+ between the cytosol and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), a Ca2+ entryway from the extracellular space to the cytosol, has gained a significant amount of attention from muscle physiologists. Orai1 and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) are the main protein identities of SOCE. This mini-review focuses on the roles of STIM proteins and SOCE in the physiological and pathophysiological functions of skeletal muscle and in their correlations with recently identified proteins, as well as historical proteins that are known to mediate skeletal muscle function.

Abstract
The BRAF-MKK1/2-ERK1/2 pathway is constitutively activated in response to oncogenic mutations of BRAF in many cancer types, including melanoma. Although small molecules that inhibit oncogenic BRAF and MAP kinase kinase (MKK)1/2 have been successful in clinical settings, resistance invariably develops. High affinity inhibitors of ERK1/2 have been shown in preclinical studies to bypass the resistance of melanoma and colon cancer cells to BRAF and MKK1/2 inhibitors, and are thus promising additions to current treatment protocols. But still unknown is how molecular responses to ERK1/2 inhibitors compare with inhibitors currently in clinical use. Here, we employ quantitative phosphoproteomics to evaluate changes in phosphorylation in response to the ERK inhibitors, SCH772984 and GDC0994, and compare these to the clinically used MKK1/2 inhibitor, trametinib. Combined with previous studies measuring phosphoproteomic responses to the MKK1/2 inhibitor, selumetinib, and the BRAF inhibitor, vemurafenib, the outcomes reveal key insights into pathway organization, phosphorylation specificity and off-target effects of these inhibitors. The results demonstrate linearity in signaling from BRAF to MKK1/2 and from MKK1/2 to ERK1/2. They identify likely targets of direct phosphorylation by ERK1/2, as well as inhibitor off-targets, including an off-target regulation of the p38α mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway by the MKK1/2 inhibitor, trametinib, at concentrations used in the literature but higher than in vivo drug concentrations. In addition, several known phosphorylation targets of ERK1/2 are insensitive to MKK or ERK inhibitors, revealing variability in canonical pathway responses between different cell systems. By comparing multiple inhibitors targeted to multiple tiers of protein kinases in the MAPK pathway, we gain insight into regulation and new targets of the oncogenic BRAF driver pathway in cancer cells, and a useful approach for evaluating the specificity of drugs and drug candidates.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is dysregulated in prostate cancer, contributing to increased cellular migration and proliferation and preventing cancer cell apoptosis. We here summarize findings on gene expression levels and functions of SOCE components, stromal interaction molecules (STIM1 and STIM2), and members of the Orai protein family (Orai1, 2, and 3) in prostate cancer. Moreover, we introduce new research models that promise to provide insights into whether dysregulated SOCE signaling has clinically relevant implications in terms of increasing the migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells. Recent Findings Recent reports on Orai1 and Orai3 expression levels and function were in part controversial probably due to the heterogeneous nature of prostate cancer. Lately, in prostate cancer cells, transient receptor melastatin 4 channel was shown to alter SOCE and play a role in migration and proliferation. We specifically highlight new cancer research models: a subpopulation of cells that show tumor initiation and metastatic potential in mice and zebrafish models. Summary This review focuses on SOCE component dysregulation in prostate cancer and analyzes several preclinical, cellular, and animal cancer research models.

Abstract
Mutations in the gene encoding emerin cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), a disorder causing progressive skeletal muscle wasting, irregular heart rhythms and contractures of major tendons. RNA sequencing was performed on differentiating wildtype and emerin-null myogenic progenitors to identify molecular pathways implicated in EDMD, 340 genes were uniquely differentially expressed during the transition from day 0 to day 1 in wildtype cells. 1605 genes were uniquely expressed in emerin-null cells; 1706 genes were shared among both wildtype and emerin-null cells. One thousand and forty-seven transcripts showed differential expression during the transition from day 1 to day 2. Four hundred and thirty-one transcripts showed altered expression in both wildtype and emerin-null cells. Two hundred and ninety-five transcripts were differentially expressed only in emerin-null cells and 321 transcripts were differentially expressed only in wildtype cells. DAVID, STRING and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified pathways implicated in impaired emerin-null differentiation, including cell signaling, cell cycle checkpoints, integrin signaling, YAP/TAZ signaling, stem cell differentiation, and multiple muscle development and myogenic differentiation pathways. Functional enrichment analysis showed biological functions associated with the growth of muscle tissue and myogenesis of skeletal muscle were inhibited. The large number of differentially expressed transcripts upon differentiation induction suggests emerin functions during transcriptional reprograming of progenitors to committed myoblasts.

Abstract
The main task of skeletal muscle is contraction and relaxation for body movement and posture maintenance. During contraction and relaxation, Ca2+ in the cytosol has a critical role in activating and deactivating a series of contractile proteins. In skeletal muscle, the cytosolic Ca2+ level is mainly determined by Ca2+ movements between the cytosol and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The importance of Ca2+ entry from extracellular spaces to the cytosol has gained significant attention over the past decade. Store-operated Ca2+ entry with a low amplitude and relatively slow kinetics is a main extracellular Ca2+ entryway into skeletal muscle. Herein, recent studies on extracellular Ca2+ entry into skeletal muscle are reviewed along with descriptions of the proteins that are related to extracellular Ca2+ entry and their influences on skeletal muscle function and disease.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mediates the increase in intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in endothelial cells (ECs) that regulates several EC functions including tissue-fluid homeostasis. Stromal-interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), upon sensing the depletion of (Ca2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) store, organizes as puncta that trigger store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) via plasmalemmal Ca2+-selective Orai1 channels. While the STIM1 and Orai1 binding interfaces have been mapped, signaling mechanisms activating STIM1 recruitment of Orai1 and STIM1-Orai1 interaction remains enigmatic. Here, we show that ER Ca2+-store depletion rapidly induces STIM1 phosphorylation at Y361 via proline-rich kinase 2 (Pyk2) in ECs. Surprisingly, the phospho-defective STIM1-Y361F mutant formed puncta but failed to recruit Orai1, thereby preventing. SOCE Furthermore, studies in mouse lungs, expression of phosphodefective STIM1-Y361F mutant in ECs prevented the increase in vascular permeability induced by the thrombin receptor, protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1). Hence, Pyk2-dependent phosphorylation of STIM1 at Y361 is a critical phospho-switch enabling recruitment of Orai1 into STIM1 puncta leading to SOCE. Therefore, Y361 in STIM1 represents a novel target for limiting SOCE-associated vascular leak.

Abstract
Development of skeletal muscle is a multistage process that includes lineage commitment of multipotent progenitor cells, differentiation and fusion of myoblasts into multinucleated myofibers, and maturation of myofibers into distinct types. Lineage-specific transcriptional regulation lies at the core of this process, but myogenesis is also regulated by extracellular cues. Some of these cues are initiated by direct cell-cell contact between muscle precursor cells themselves or between muscle precursors and cells of other lineages. Examples of the latter include interaction of migrating neural crest cells with multipotent muscle progenitor cells, muscle interstitial cells with myoblasts, and neurons with myofibers. Among the signaling factors involved are Notch ligands and receptors, cadherins, Ig superfamily members, and Ephrins and Eph receptors. In this article we describe recent progress in this area and highlight open questions raised by the findings.

Abstract
During central nervous system development, oligodendrocyte progenitors elaborate multiple branched processes to contact axons and initiate myelination. Using cultured primary rat oligodendrocytes (OLGs), we have recently demonstrated that a cell surface protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, cell adhesion molecule-related, down-regulated by oncogenes (Cdon), is important in initiating OLG differentiation and axon myelination by promoting the formation of branched cellular processes; however, the molecular mechanism by which Cdon regulates OLG differentiation is not known. Here, using Cdon immunoprecipitation (IP) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis, we identified serine/threonine kinase TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) as a candidate novel target of Cdon. We confirmed this interaction using co-IP and immunofluorescence with TBK1 antibodies, showing that TBK1 partly co-localizes with Cdon along cellular processes in puncta-like structures. We show that TBK1 is expressed throughout OLG differentiation, and surprisingly, that levels of phosphorylated TBK1 (ser172) increase during OLG maturation, while total levels of TBK1 protein decrease. To investigate function, TBK1 expression was knocked down using siRNA in OLG primary cultures, reducing protein levels by 69%. Two myelin-specific proteins, myelin basic protein and myelin-associated glycoprotein, were similarly reduced when examined at day 2 and day 4 of OLG differentiation. Reduced Cdon or TBK1 expression also decreased Akt phosphorylation at Threonine 308 in OLG. Our findings provide evidence that a Cdon-TBK1 complex is associated with Akt phosphorylation and early OLG differentiation.

Abstract
A potassium channel Kir2.1-associated membrane hyperpolarization is required for myogenic differentiation. However the molecular regulatory mechanisms modulating Kir2.1 channel activities in early stage of myogenesis are largely unknown. A cell surface protein, Cdo functions as a component of multiprotein cell surface complexes to promote myogenesis. In this study, we report that Cdo forms a complex with Kir2.1 during myogenic differentiation, and is required for the channel activity by enhancing the surface expression of Kir2.1 in the early stage of differentiation. The expression of a constitutively active form of the upstream kinase for p38MAPK, MKK6(EE) can restore Kir2.1 activities in Cdo-depleted C2C12 cells, while the treatment with a p38MAPK inhibitor, SB203580 exhibits a similar effect of Cdo depletion on Kir2.1 surface expression. Furthermore, Cdo-/- primary myoblasts, which display a defective differentiation program, exhibit a defective Kir2.1 activity. Taken together, our results suggest that a promyogenic Cdo signaling is critical for Kir2.1 activities in the induction of myogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Maintenance of skeletal muscle function is critical for metabolic health and the disruption of which exacerbates many chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Skeletal muscle responds to exercise or metabolic demands by a fiber-type switch regulated by signaling-transcription networks that remains to be fully defined. Here, we report that protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (Prmt7) is a key regulator for skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism. Prmt7 is expressed at the highest levels in skeletal muscle and decreased in skeletal muscles with age or obesity. Prmt7(-/-) muscles exhibit decreased oxidative metabolism with decreased expression of genes involved in muscle oxidative metabolism, including PGC-1α. Consistently, Prmt7(-/-) mice exhibited significantly reduced endurance exercise capacities. Furthermore, Prmt7(-/-) mice exhibit decreased energy expenditure, which might contribute to the exacerbated age-related obesity of Prmt7(-/-) mice. Similarly to Prmt7(-/-) muscles, Prmt7 depletion in myoblasts also reduces PGC-1α expression and PGC-1α-promoter driven reporter activities. Prmt7 regulates PGC-1α expression through interaction with and activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), which in turn activates ATF2, an upstream transcriptional activator for PGC-1α. Taken together, Prmt7 is a novel regulator for muscle oxidative metabolism via activation of p38MAPK/ATF2/PGC-1α.

Syntaxin 4 regulates the surface localization of a promyogenic receptor Cdo thereby promoting myogenic differentiation. Skelet Muscle 2015; 5:28.

Abstract
Background Syntaxins are a family of membrane proteins involved in vesicle trafficking, such as synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Syntaxin 4 (Stx4) is expressed highly in skeletal muscle and plays a critical role in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by promoting translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to the cell surface. A cell surface receptor cell adhesion molecule-related, down-regulated by oncogenes (Cdo) is a component of cell adhesion complexes and promotes myoblast differentiation via activation of key signalings, including p38MAPK and AKT. In this study, we investigate the function of Stx4 in myoblast differentiation and the crosstalk between Stx4 and Cdo in myoblast differentiation. Methods The effects of overexpression or shRNA-based depletion of Stx4 and Cdo genes on C2C12 myoblast differentiation are assessed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence approaches. The interaction between Cdo and Stx4 and the responsible domain mapping are assessed by coimmunoprecipitation or pulldown assays. The effect of Stx4 depletion on cell surface localization of Cdo and GLUT4 in C2C12 myoblasts is assessed by surface biotinylation and Western blotting. Results Overexpression or knockdown of Stx4 enhances or inhibits myogenic differentiation, respectively. Stx4 binds to the cytoplasmic tail of Cdo, and this interaction seems to be critical for induction of p38MAPK activation and myotube formation. Stx4 depletion decreases specifically the cell surface localization of Cdo without changes in surface N-Cadherin levels. Interestingly, Cdo depletion reduces the level of GLUT4 and Stx4 at cell surface. Consistently, overexpression of Cdo in C2C12 myoblasts generally increases glucose uptake, while Cdo depletion reduces it. Conclusions Stx4 promotes myoblast differentiation through interaction with Cdo and stimulation of its surface translocation. Both Cdo and Stx4 are required for GLUT4 translocation to cell surface and glucose uptake in myoblast differentiation.

Abstract
The dysfunction of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has been shown to prevent endothelial repair during the development of atherosclerosis (AS). Previous studies have revealed that store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is an important factor in regulating EPC functions. However, whether this is also the mechanism in AS has not been elucidated. Therefore, we evaluated the role of SOCE in EPCs isolated from an atherosclerotic mouse model. Atheromatous plaques were more frequent in the aortas of ApoE(-/-) mice fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks compared with controls, and the proliferative and migratory activities of atherosclerotic EPCs were significantly decreased. Accordingly, SOCE amplitude, as well as spontaneous or VEGF-induced Ca(2+) oscillations, decreased in atherosclerotic EPCs. These results may be associated with the downregulated expression of Stim1, Orai1, and TRPC1, which are major mediators of SOCE. In addition, eNOS expression and phosphorylation at Ser(1177), which are critical regulators of EPC function, were markedly reduced in the atherosclerotic EPCs. The impairment of eNOS activity could also be induced by using an SOCE inhibitor or by Stim1 gene silencing, indicating a link between the activities of eNOS and SOCE in AS. Furthermore, decreased SOCE function inhibited EPC proliferation and migration in vitro. In conclusion, our results showed that the reduction of SOCE induced EPC dysfunction during AS, potentially through downregulation of store-operated calcium channel (SOCC) components and impaired eNOS activity. Approaches aimed at reestablishing SOCE activity may thus improve the function of EPCs during AS.

Abstract
STIM1 is a Ca(2+) sensor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that triggers the activation of plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels upon depletion of Ca(2+) levels within the ER. During thapsigargin-triggered Ca(2+) store depletion, ERK1/2 phosphorylates STIM1 at Ser575, Ser608, and Ser621. This phosphorylation plays a role in the regulation of STIM1 dissociation from the microtubule plus-end binding protein EB1, an essential step for STIM1 activation by thapsigargin. However, little is known regarding the physiological role of this phosphorylation. Because IGF-1 triggers the activation of the RAF-MEK-ERK and the phosphoinositide pathways, the role of STIM1 phosphorylation in IGF-1 stimulation was studied. There was found to be phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in both the presence and the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), demonstrating that Ca(2+) influx is not essential for ERK1/2 activation. In parallel, IGF-1 triggered STIM1 phosphorylation at the aforementioned sites, an effect that was blocked by PD0325901, a MEK1/2 inhibitor used to block ERK1/2 activation. Also, STIM1-GFP was found in clusters upon IGF-1 stimulation, and STIM1-S575A/S608A/S621A-GFP strongly reduced this multimerization. Interestingly, phospho-STIM1 was mainly found in clusters when cells were treated with IGF-1, and IGF-1 triggered the dissociation of STIM1 from EB1, similarly to what has been observed for thapsigargin, suggesting that STIM1 mediates the IGF-1 signaling pathway. A study of IGF-1-stimulated NFAT translocation was therefore performed, finding that STIM1-S575A/S608A/S621A blocked this translocation, as did the fusion protein STIM1-EB1, confirming that both STIM1 phosphorylation and STIM1-EB1 dissociation are required for IGF-1-triggered Ca(2+)-dependent signaling, and demonstrating that STIM1 phosphorylation plays a role as a downstream effector of the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway and an upstream activator of Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
Background Differentiation and fusion of skeletal muscle myoblasts into multi-nucleated myotubes is required for neonatal development and regeneration in adult skeletal muscle. Herein, we report novel findings that protein kinase C theta (PKCθ) regulates myoblast differentiation via phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 and ERK1/2. Results In this study, PKCθ knockdown (PKCθshRNA) myotubes had reduced inhibitory insulin receptor substrate-1 ser1095 phosphorylation, enhanced myoblast differentiation and cell fusion, and increased rates of protein synthesis as determined by [3H] phenylalanine incorporation. Phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 ser632/635 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) was increased in PKCθshRNA cells, with no change in ERK5 phosphorylation, highlighting a PKCθ-regulated myogenic pathway. Inhibition of PI3-kinase prevented cell differentiation and fusion in control cells, which was attenuated in PKCθshRNA cells. Thus, with reduced PKCθ, differentiation and fusion occur in the absence of PI3-kinase activity. Inhibition of the ERK kinase, MEK1/2, impaired differentiation and cell fusion in control cells. Differentiation was preserved in PKCθshRNA cells treated with a MEK1/2 inhibitor, although cell fusion was blunted, indicating PKCθ regulates differentiation via IRS1 and ERK1/2, and this occurs independently of MEK1/2 activation. Conclusion Cellular signaling regulating the myogenic program and protein synthesis are complex and intertwined. These studies suggest that PKCθ regulates myogenic and protein synthetic signaling via the modulation of IRS1and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Myotubes lacking PKCθ had increased rates of protein synthesis and enhanced myotube development despite reduced activation of the canonical anabolic-signaling pathway. Further investigation of PKCθ regulated signaling may reveal important interactions regulating skeletal muscle health in an insulin resistant state.

Abstract
STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) mediates SOCE (store-operated Ca²⁺ entry) in skeletal muscle. However, the direct role(s) of STIM1 in skeletal muscle, such as Ca²⁺ release from the SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) for muscle contraction, have not been identified. The times required for the maximal expression of endogenous STIM1 or Orai1, or for the appearance of puncta during the differentiation of mouse primary skeletal myoblasts to myotubes, were all different, and the formation of puncta was detected with no stimulus during differentiation, suggesting that, in skeletal muscle, the formation of puncta is a part of the differentiation. Wild-type STIM1 and two STIM1 mutants (Triple mutant, missing Ca²⁺-sensing residues but possessing the intact C-terminus; and E136X, missing the C-terminus) were overexpressed in the myotubes. The wild-type STIM1 increased SOCE, whereas neither mutant had an effect on SOCE. It was interesting that increases in the formation of puncta were observed in the Triple mutant as well as in wild-type STIM1, suggesting that SOCE-irrelevant puncta could exist in skeletal muscle. On the other hand, overexpression of wild-type or Triple mutant, but not E136X, attenuated Ca²⁺ releases from the SR in response to KCl [evoking ECC (excitation-contraction coupling) via activating DHPR (dihydropyridine receptor)] in a dominant-negative manner. The attenuation was removed by STIM1 knockdown, and STIM1 was co-immunoprecipitated with DHRP in a Ca²⁺-independent manner. These results suggest that STIM1 negatively regulates Ca²⁺ release from the SR through the direct interaction of the STIM1 C-terminus with DHPR, and that STIM1 is involved in both ECC and SOCE in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Calcium ion (Ca(2+)) concentration plays a key role in cell signaling in eukaryotic cells. At the cellular level, Ca(2+) directly participates in such diverse cellular events as adhesion and migration, differentiation, contraction, secretion, synaptic transmission, fertilization, and cell death. As a consequence of these diverse actions, the cytosolic concentration of free Ca(2+) is tightly regulated by the coordinated activity of Ca(2+) channels, Ca(2+) pumps, and Ca(2+)-binding proteins. Although many of these regulators have been studied in depth, other proteins have been described recently, and naturally far less is known about their contribution to cell physiology. Within this last group of proteins, STIM1 has emerged as a major contributor to Ca(2+) signaling by means of its activity as Ca(2+) channel regulator. STIM1 is a protein resident mainly, but not exclusively, in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and activates a set of plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels termed store-operated calcium channels (SOCs) when the concentration of free Ca(2+) within the ER drops transiently as a result of Ca(2+) release from this compartment. Knowledge regarding the molecular architecture of STIM1 has grown considerably during the last years, and several structural domains within STIM1 have been reported to be required for the specific molecular interactions with other important players in Ca(2+) signaling, such as Ca(2+) channels and microtubules. Within the modulators of STIM1, phosphorylation has been shown to both activate and inactivate STIM1-dependent Ca(2+) entry depending on the cell type, cell cycle phase, and the specific residue that becomes modified. Here we shall review current knowledge regarding the modulation of STIM1 by phosphorylation.

Abstract
STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) is a key regulator of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). Upon depletion of Ca(2+) concentration within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), STIM1 relocalizes at ER-plasma membrane junctions, activating store-operated calcium channels (SOCs). Although the molecular details for STIM1-SOC binding is known, the regulation of SOCE remains largely unknown. A detailed list of phosphorylated residues within the STIM1 sequence has been reported. However, the molecular pathways controlling this phosphorylation and its function are still under study. Using phosphospecific antibodies, we demonstrate that ERK1/2 mediates STIM1 phosphorylation at Ser575, Ser608 and Ser621 during Ca(2+) store depletion, and that Ca(2+) entry and store refilling restore phosphorylation to basal levels. This phosphorylation occurs in parallel to the dissociation from end-binding protein 1 (EB1), a regulator of growing microtubule ends. Although Ser to Ala mutation of residues 575, 608 and 621 showed a constitutive binding to EB1 even after Ca(2+) store depletion, Ser to Glu mutation of these residues (to mimic the phosphorylation profile attained after store depletion) triggered full dissociation from EB1. Given that wild-type STIM1 and STIM1(S575E/S608E/S621E) activate SOCE similarly, a model is proposed to explain how ERK1/2-mediated phosphorylation of STIM1 regulates SOCE. This regulation is based on the phosphorylation of STIM1 to trigger dissociation from EB1 during Ca(2+) store depletion, an event that is fully reversed by Ca(2+) entry and store refilling.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) channels composed of Stim and Orai proteins play a critical role in diverse biological processes. Upon endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mediated calcium (Ca(2+)) depletion, Stim proteins oligomerize with Orai to initiate Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane. The ubiquitin-like (UBL) and ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains of ubiquilin 1 are involved in the degradation of presenilin and polyglutamine proteins. Through screening of Orai1 interaction partner(s) that might have an effect on SOCE, ubiquilin 1 was identified as a target of Orai1. However, the UBL and UBA domains of ubiquilin 1 were dispensable for this interaction. Additionally, ubiquilin 1 and Orai1 colocalized in the cytosolic compartment. Ubiquilin 1 increased the ubiquitination of Orai1, resulting in the formation of a high-molecular-weight form. MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, failed to block the degradation of Orai1, whereas bafilomycin A, a lysosome inhibitor, prevented Orai1 degradation. Confocal microscopy studies demonstrated that a fraction of Orai1 colocalized with ubiquilin 1 and the autophagosomal marker LC3. Because Orai1 is a constituent of SOCE, we determined the effect of ubiquilin 1 on Orai1-mediated Ca(2+) influx. As we expected, intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, a process normally potentiated by Orai1, was downregulated by ubiquilin 1. Taken together, these findings suggest that ubiquilin 1 downregulates intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and its downstream signaling by promoting the ubiquitination and lysosomal degradation of Orai1.

Abstract
p38MAPK plays an essential role in the transition of myoblasts to differentiated myotubes through the activation of MyoD family transcription factors. A promyogenic cell surface molecule, Cdo, promotes myogenic differentiation mainly through activation of the p38MAPK pathway. Two MAP3Ks, TAK1 and ASK1, can activate p38MAPK via MKK6 in various cell systems. Moreover TAK1 has been shown to promote myogenic differentiation via p38MAPK activation. In this study, we hypothesized that TAK1 and ASK1 might function as MAP3Ks in Cdo-mediated p38MAPK activation during myoblast differentiation. Both ASK1 and TAK1 were expressed in myoblasts and interacted with the cytoplasmic tail of Cdo and a scaffold protein, JLP. The depletion of TAK1 or ASK1 in C2C12 cells decreased myoblast differentiation, whereas overexpression of TAK1 or ASK1 in C2C12 cells enhanced myotube formation. In agreement with this, overexpression of ASK1 or TAK1 resulted in enhanced p38MAPK activation, and their knockdown inhibited p38MAPK in C2C12 cells. Overexpression of TAK1 or ASK1 in Cdo(-/-) myoblasts and Cdo-depleted C2C12 cells restored p38MAPK activation as well as myotube formation. Furthermore, ASK1 and TAK1 compensated for each other in p38MAPK activation and myoblast differentiation. Taken together, these findings suggest that ASK1 and TAK1 function as MAP3Ks in Cdo-mediated p38MAPK activation to promote myogenic differentiation.
