Abstract
Calcium is one of the most pleiotropic second messengers in all living organisms. However, signalling specificity is encoded via spatio-temporally regulated signatures that act with surgical precision to elicit highly specific cellular responses. How this is brought about remains a big challenge in the plant field, in part due to a lack of specific tools to manipulate/interrogate the plant Ca2+ toolkit. In many cases, researchers resort to tools that were optimized in animal cells. However, the obviously large evolutionary distance between plants and animals implies that there is a good chance observed effects may not be specific to the intended plant target. Here, we provide an overview of pharmacological strategies that are commonly used to activate or inhibit plant Ca2+ signalling. We focus on highlighting modes of action where possible, and warn for potential pitfalls. Together, this review aims at guiding plant researchers through the Ca2+ pharmacology swamp.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases (PMCA pumps) have a long, cytosolic C-terminal regulatory region where a calmodulin-binding domain (CaM-BD) is located. Under basal conditions (low Ca2+), the C-terminal tail of the pump interacts with autoinhibitory sites proximal to the active center of the enzyme. In activating conditions (i.e., high Ca2+), Ca2+-bound CaM displaces the C-terminal tail from the autoinhibitory sites, restoring activity. We have recently identified a G1107D replacement within the CaM-BD of isoform 3 of the PMCA pump in a family affected by X-linked congenital cerebellar ataxia. Here, we investigate the effects of the G1107D replacement on the interplay of the mutated CaM-BD with both CaM and the pump core, by combining computational, biochemical and functional approaches. We provide evidence that the affinity of the isolated mutated CaM-BD for CaM is significantly reduced with respect to the wild type (wt) counterpart, and that the ability of CaM to activate the pump in vitro is thus decreased. Multiscale simulations support the conclusions on the detrimental effect of the mutation, indicating reduced stability of the CaM binding. We further show that the G1107D replacement impairs the autoinhibition mechanism of the PMCA3 pump as well, as the introduction of a negative charge perturbs the contacts between the CaM-BD and the pump core. Thus, the mutation affects both the ability of the pump to optimally transport Ca2+ in the activated state, and the autoinhibition mechanism in its resting state.

Abstract
Blue light signalling pathway in broad bean leaf epidermal cells includes key membrane transporters: plasma- and endomembrane channels and pumps of H (+) , Ca (2+) and K (+) ions, and plasma membrane redox system. Blue light signalling pathway in epidermal tissue isolated from the abaxial side of fully developed Vicia faba leaves was dissected by measuring the effect of inhibitors of second messengers on net K(+), Ca(2+) and H(+) fluxes using non-invasive ion-selective microelectrodes (the MIFE system). Switching the blue light on-off caused transient changes of the ion fluxes. The effects of seven groups of inhibitors were tested in this study: CaM antagonists, ATPase inhibitors, Ca(2+) anatagonists or chelators, agents affecting IP3 formation, redox system inhibitors, inhibitors of endomembrane Ca(2+) transport systems and an inhibitor of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-permeable channels. Most of the inhibitors had a significant effect on steady-state (basal) net fluxes, as well as on the magnitude of the transient ion flux responses to blue light fluctuations. The data presented in this study suggest that redox signalling and, specifically, plasma membrane NADPH oxidase and coupled Ca(2+) and K(+) fluxes play an essential role in blue light signal transduction.

Abstract
Trans-differentiation to a transfer-cell morphology is characterized by the localized deposition of wall ingrowth papillae that protrude into the cytosol. Whether the cortical microtubule array directs wall ingrowth papillae formation was investigated using a Vicia faba cotyledon culture system in which their adaxial epidermal cells were spontaneously induced to trans-differentiate to transfer cells. During deposition of wall ingrowth papillae, the aligned cortical microtubule arrays in precursor epidermal cells were reorganized into a randomized array characterized by circular depletion zones. Concurrence of the temporal appearance, spatial pattern, and size of depletion zones and wall ingrowth papillae was consistent with each papilla occupying a depletion zone. Surprisingly, microtubules appeared not to regulate construction of wall ingrowth papillae, as neither depolymerization nor stabilization of cortical microtubules changed their deposition pattern or morphology. Moreover, the size and spatial pattern of depletion zones was unaltered when the formation of wall ingrowth papillae was blocked by inhibiting cellulose biosynthesis. In contrast, the depletion zones were absent when the cytosolic calcium plumes, responsible for directing wall ingrowth papillae formation, were blocked or dissipated. Thus, we conclude that the depletion zones within the cortical microtubule array result from localized depolymerization of microtubules initiated by elevated cytosolic Ca(2+) levels at loci where wall ingrowth papillae are deposited. The physiological significance of the depletion zones as a mechanism to accommodate the construction of wall ingrowth papillae without compromising maintenance of the plasma membrane-microtubule inter-relationship is discussed.

Abstract
Polyamines regulate a variety of cation and K(+) channels, but their potential effects on cation-transporting ATPases are underexplored. In this work, noninvasive microelectrode ion flux estimation and conventional microelectrode techniques were applied to study the effects of polyamines on Ca(2+) and H(+) transport and membrane potential in pea roots. Externally applied spermine or putrescine (1mM) equally activated eosin yellow (EY)-sensitive Ca(2+) pumping across the root epidermis and caused net H(+) influx or efflux. Proton influx induced by spermine was suppressed by EY, supporting the mechanism in which Ca(2+) pump imports 2 H(+) per each exported Ca(2+). Suppression of the Ca(2+) pump by EY diminished putrescine-induced net H(+) efflux instead of increasing it. Thus, activities of Ca(2+) and H(+) pumps were coupled, likely due to the H(+)-pump inhibition by intracellular Ca(2+). Additionally, spermine but not putrescine caused a direct inhibition of H(+) pumping in isolated plasma membrane vesicles. Spermine, spermidine, and putrescine (1mM) induced membrane depolarization by 70, 50, and 35 mV, respectively. Spermine-induced depolarization was abolished by cation transport blocker Gd(3+), was insensitive to anion channels' blocker niflumate, and was dependent on external Ca(2+). Further analysis showed that uptake of polyamines but not polyamine-induced cationic (K(+)+Ca(2+)+H(+)) fluxes were a main cause of membrane depolarization. Polyamine increase is a common component of plant stress responses. Activation of Ca(2+) efflux by polyamines and contrasting effects of polyamines on net H(+) fluxes and membrane potential can contribute to Ca(2+) signalling and modulate a variety of transport processes across the plasma membrane under stress.

Abstract
Plant auto-inhibited Ca²⁺-ATPases (ACA) are crucial in defining the shape of calcium transients and therefore in eliciting plant responses to various stimuli. Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes ten ACA isoforms that can be divided into four clusters based on gene structure and sequence homology. While isoforms from clusters 1, 2 and 4 have been characterized, virtually nothing is known about members of cluster 3 (ACA12 and ACA13). Here we show that a GFP-tagged ACA12 localizes at the plasma membrane and that expression of ACA12 rescues the phenotype of partial male sterility of a null mutant of the plasma membrane isoform ACA9, thus providing genetic evidence that ACA12 is a functional plasma membrane-resident Ca²⁺-ATPase. By ACA12 expression in yeast and purification by CaM-affinity chromatography, we show that, unlike other ACAs, the activity of ACA12 is not stimulated by CaM. Moreover, full length ACA12 is able to rescue a yeast mutant deficient in calcium pumps. Analysis of single point ACA12 mutants suggests that ACA12 loss of auto-inhibition can be ascribed to the lack of two acidic residues--highly conserved in other ACA isoforms--localized at the cytoplasmic edge of the second and third transmembrane segments. Together, these results support a model in which the calcium pump activity of ACA12 is primarily regulated by increasing or decreasing mRNA expression and/or protein translation and degradation.

Abstract
Spores of the fern Ceratopteris richardii have proven to be a valuable single-cell system for studying gravity responses. The earliest cellular change directed by gravity in these cells is a trans-cell calcium current, which peaks near 10 h after the spores are induced to germinate. This current is needed for gravity-directed axis alignment, and its peak is coincident with the time period when gravity polarises the direction of subsequent nuclear migration and rhizoid growth. Transcriptomic analysis of genes expressed at the 10-h time point revealed several that encode proteins likely to be key components that either drive the current or regulate it. Notable among these is a plasma membrane (PM)-type Ca(2+) ATPase, CrACA1, whose activity pumping Ca(2+) out of cells is regulated by gravity. This report provides an initial characterisation of the structure and expression of this protein, and demonstrates its heterologous function complementing the K616 mutant of yeast, which is deficient in PM-type Ca(2+) pump activity. Gravity-induced changes in the trans-cell Ca(2+) current occur within seconds, a result consistent with the hypothesis that the force of gravity can rapidly alter the post-translational state of the channels and pumps that drive this current across spore cells. This report identifies a transporter likely to be a key driver of the current, CrACA1, and characterises the role of this protein in early germination and gravity-driven polarity fixation through analysis of expression levels, functional complementation and pharmacological treatments. These data, along with newly available transcriptomic data obtained at the 10-h time point, indicate that CrACA1 is present, functional and likely a major contributing component of the trans-cell Ca(2+) efflux. CrACA1 is not necessary for polar axis alignment, but pharmacological perturbations of it disrupt rhizoid development. These data support and help refine the post-translational modification model for gravity responses.

Abstract
In planta, very limited information is available about how the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contributes to cellular Ca(2+) dynamics and homeostasis. Here, we report the generation of an ER-targeted Cameleon reporter protein suitable for analysis of Ca(2+) accumulation and dynamics in the lumen of the ER in plant cells. Using stably transformed Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants expressing this reporter protein, we observed a transiently enhanced accumulation of Ca(2+) in the ER in response to stimuli inducing cytosolic Ca(2+) rises in root tip cells. In all experimental conditions, ER Ca(2+) dynamics were substantially different from those monitored in the cytosol. A pharmacological approach enabled us to evaluate the contribution of the different ER-resident Ca(2+)-ATPase classes in the regulation of the ER Ca(2+) homeostasis. Taken together, our results do not provide evidence for a role of the ER as a major source that releases Ca(2+) for stimulus-induced increases in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. Instead, our results show that the luminal ER Ca(2+) elevations typically follow cytosolic ones, but with distinct dynamics. These findings suggest fundamental differences for the function of the ER in cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis in plants and animals.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-ATPase in the peribacteroid membrane (PBM) of symbiosomes isolated from Vicia faba root nodules was characterized in terms of its hydrolytic and transport activities. Both activities were found to be pH-dependent and exhibit pH optimum at pH 7.0. Translocation of Ca(2+) through the PBM by the Ca(2+)-ATPase was shown to be fueled by ATP and other nucleotide triphosphates in the following order: ATP > ITP ≅ GTP ≅ UTP ≅ CTP, the K m of the enzyme for MgATP being about 100 μM. Ca-dependent ITP-hydrolytic activity of symbiosomes was investigated in the presence of the Ca-EGTA buffer system and showed the affinity of PBM Ca(2+)-ATPase for Ca(2+) of about 0.1 μM. The transport activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase was inhibited by erythrosin B as well as orthovanadate, but markedly stimulated by calmodulin from bovine brain. These results allowed us to conclude that this enzyme belongs to IIB-type Ca(2+)-ATPases which are present in other plant membranes.

Abstract
Combination of fluorescence techniques and molecular docking was used to monitor interaction of Na,K-ATPase and its large cytoplasmic loop connecting fourth and fifth transmembrane helices (C45) with fluorone dyes (i.e. eosin Y, 5(6)-carboxyeosin, rose bengal, fluorescein, and erythrosine B). Our data suggested that there are at least two binding sites for all used fluorone dyes, except of 5(6)-carboxyeosin. The first binding site is located on C45 loop, and it is sensitive to the presence of nucleotide. The other site is located on the extracellular part of the enzyme, and it is sensitive to the presence of Na(+) or K(+) ions. The molecular docking revealed that in the open conformation of C45 loop (which is obtained in the presence of ATP) all used fluorone dyes occupy position directly inside the ATP-binding pocket, while in the closed conformation (i.e. in the absence of any ligand) they are located only near the ATP-binding site depending on their different sizes. On the extracellular part of the protein, the molecular docking predicts two possible binding sites with similar binding energy near Asp897(α) or Gln69(β). The former was identified as a part of interaction site between α- and β-subunits, the latter is in contact with conserved FXYD sequence of the γ-subunit. Our findings provide structural explanation for numerous older studies, which were performed with fluorone dyes before the high-resolution structures were known. Further, fluorone dyes seem to be good probes for monitoring of intersubunit interactions influenced by Na(+) and K(+) binding.

Abstract
ACA8 is a plasma membrane-localized isoform of calmodulin (CaM)-regulated Ca(2+)-ATPase of Arabidopsis thaliana. Several phosphopeptides corresponding to portions of the regulatory N-terminus of ACA8 have been identified in phospho-proteomic studies. To mimic phosphorylation of the ACA8 N-terminus, each of the serines found to be phosphorylated in those studies (Ser19, Ser22, Ser27, Ser29, Ser57, and Ser99) has been mutated to aspartate. Mutants have been expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and characterized: mutants S19D and S57D--and to a lesser extent also mutants S22D and S27D--are deregulated, as shown by their low activation by CaM and by tryptic cleavage of the N-terminus. The His-tagged N-termini of wild-type and mutant ACA8 (6His-(1)M-I(116)) were expressed in Escherichia coli, affinity-purified, and used to analyse the kinetics of CaM binding by surface plasmon resonance. All the analysed mutations affect the kinetics of interaction with CaM to some extent: in most cases, the altered kinetics result in marginal changes in affinity, with the exception of mutants S57D (K(D) ≈ 10-fold higher than wild-type ACA8) and S99D (K(D) about half that of wild-type ACA8). The ACA8 N-terminus is phosphorylated in vitro by two isoforms of A. thaliana calcium-dependent protein kinase (CPK1 and CPK16); phosphorylation of mutant 6His-(1)M-I(116) peptides shows that CPK16 is able to phosphorylate the ACA8 N-terminus at Ser19 and at Ser22. The possible physiological implications of the subtle modulation of ACA8 activity by phosphorylation of its N-terminus are discussed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are integral components of the plant adaptive responses to environment. Importantly, ROS affect the intracellular Ca(2+) dynamics by activating a range of nonselective Ca(2+)-permeable channels in plasma membrane (PM). Using patch-clamp and noninvasive microelectrode ion flux measuring techniques, we have characterized ionic currents and net K(+) and Ca(2+) fluxes induced by hydroxyl radicals (OH(•)) in pea (Pisum sativum) roots. OH(•), but not hydrogen peroxide, activated a rapid Ca(2+) efflux and a more slowly developing net Ca(2+) influx concurrent with a net K(+) efflux. In isolated protoplasts, OH(•) evoked a nonselective current, with a time course and a steady-state magnitude similar to those for a K(+) efflux in intact roots. This current displayed a low ionic selectivity and was permeable to Ca(2+). Active OH(•)-induced Ca(2+) efflux in roots was suppressed by the PM Ca(2+) pump inhibitors eosine yellow and erythrosine B. The cation channel blockers gadolinium, nifedipine, and verapamil and the anionic channel blockers 5-nitro-2(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate and niflumate inhibited OH(•)-induced ionic currents in root protoplasts and K(+) efflux and Ca(2+) influx in roots. Contrary to expectations, polyamines (PAs) did not inhibit the OH(•)-induced cation fluxes. The net OH(•)-induced Ca(2+) efflux was largely prolonged in the presence of spermine, and all PAs tested (spermine, spermidine, and putrescine) accelerated and augmented the OH(•)-induced net K(+) efflux from roots. The latter effect was also observed in patch-clamp experiments on root protoplasts. We conclude that PAs interact with ROS to alter intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis by modulating both Ca(2+) influx and efflux transport systems at the root cell PM.

Abstract
The phytotoxin fusicoccin (FC) was found to induce an increase in apoplastic H₂O₂ content in Arabidopsis thaliana cells, apparently linked to the presence of an as yet unidentified catalase inhibitor detectable even in the external medium of FC-treated cells. This study, aimed to further characterize the inhibitor's features, shows that (1) FC-induced H₂O₂ accumulation increases as a function of FC concentration and correlates to the amount of inhibitor released at apoplastic level. The pattern of H+ efflux, conversely, does not fit with that of these two parameters, suggesting that neither the production nor the release of the catalase inhibitor is linked to the main role of FC in activating the plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPase; (2) treatment with 10 µM erythrosine B (EB) early and totally inhibits net H+ and K+ fluxes across the PM, indicative of the H+ pump activity; nevertheless, also in these conditions a huge FC-induced H₂O₂ accumulation occurs, confirming that this effect is not related to the FC-induced PM H+-ATPase activation; (3) the inhibitor's release increases with time in all conditions tested and is markedly affected by extracellular pH (a higher pH value being associated to a larger efflux), in agreement with a weak acid release; and (4) the inhibitor can be almost completely recovered in a CH₂C₂-soluble fraction extracted from the incubation medium by sequential acid-base partitioning which contains nearly all of the organic acids released. These final results strongly suggest that the metabolite responsible for the FC-induced catalase inhibition belongs to the organic acid class.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-ATPases are P-type ATPases that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump Ca(2+) from the cytoplasm into intracellular compartments or into the apoplast. Plant cells possess two types of Ca(2+) -pumping ATPase, named ECAs (for ER-type Ca(2+)-ATPase) and ACAs (for auto-inhibited Ca(2+)-ATPase). Each type comprises different isoforms, localised on different membranes. Here, we summarise available knowledge of the biochemical characteristics and the physiological role of plant Ca(2+)-ATPases, greatly improved after gene identification, which allows both biochemical analysis of single isoforms through heterologous expression in yeast and expression profiling and phenotypic analysis of single isoform knock-out mutants.

Abstract
In single-celled spores of the fern Ceratopteris richardii, gravity directs polarity of development and induces a directional, trans-cellular calcium (Ca(2+)) current. To clarify how gravity polarizes this electrophysiological process, we measured the kinetics of the cellular response to changes in the gravity vector, which we initially estimated using the self-referencing calcium microsensor. In order to generate more precise and detailed data, we developed a silicon microfabricated sensor array which facilitated a lab-on-a-chip approach to simultaneously measure calcium currents from multiple cells in real time. These experiments revealed that the direction of the gravity-dependent polar calcium current is reversed in less than 25 s when the cells are inverted, and that changes in the magnitude of the calcium current parallel rapidly changing g-forces during parabolic flight on the NASA C-9 aircraft. The data also revealed a hysteresis in the response of cells in the transition from 2g to micro-g in comparison to cells in the micro-g to 2-g transition, a result consistent with a role for mechanosensitive ion channels in the gravity response. The calcium current is suppressed by either nifedipine (calcium-channel blocker) or eosin yellow (plasma membrane calcium pump inhibitor). Nifedipine disrupts gravity-directed cell polarity, but not spore germination. These results indicate that gravity perception in single plant cells may be mediated by mechanosensitive calcium channels, an idea consistent with some previously proposed models of plant gravity perception.

Abstract
Plant auto-inhibited Ca(2+)-ATPase 8 (ACA8) and animal plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase 4b (PMCA4b) are representatives of plant and animal 2B P-type ATPases with a regulatory auto-inhibitory domain localized at the N- and C-terminus, respectively. To check whether the regulatory domain works independently of its terminal localization and if auto-inhibitory domains of different organisms are interchangeable, a mutant in which the N-terminus of ACA8 is repositioned at the C-terminus and chimeras in which PMCA4b C-terminus is fused to the N- or C-terminus of ACA8 were analysed in the yeast mutant K616 devoid of endogenous Ca(2+)-ATPases. Results show that the regulatory function of the terminal domain is independent from its position in ACA8 and that the regulatory domain belonging to PMCA4b is able to at least partially auto-inhibit ACA8.

Abstract
ACA8 is a type 2B Ca(2+)-ATPase having a regulatory N terminus whose auto-inhibitory action can be suppressed by binding of calmodulin (CaM) or of acidic phospholipids. ACA8 N terminus is able to interact with a region of the small cytoplasmic loop connecting transmembrane domains 2 and 3. To determine the role of this interaction in auto-inhibition we analyzed single point mutants produced by mutagenesis of ACA8 Glu(252) to Asn(345) sequence. Mutation to Ala of any of six tested acidic residues (Glu(252), Asp(273), Asp(291), Asp(303), Glu(302), or Asp(332)) renders an enzyme that is less dependent on CaM for activity. These results highlight the relevance in ACA8 auto-inhibition of a negative charge of the surface area of the small cytoplasmic loop. The most deregulated of these mutants is D291A ACA8, which is less activated by controlled proteolysis or by acidic phospholipids; the D291A mutant has an apparent affinity for CaM higher than wild-type ACA8. Moreover, its phenotype is stronger than that of D291N ACA8, suggesting a more direct involvement of this residue in the mechanism of auto-inhibition. Among the other produced mutants (I284A, N286A, P289A, P322A, V344A, and N345A), only P322A ACA8 is less dependent on CaM for activity than the wild type. The results reported in this study provide the first evidence that the small cytoplasmic loop of a type 2B Ca(2+)-ATPase plays a role in the attainment of the auto-inhibited state.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential channel vanilloid receptor subunit 1 (TRPV1) is a thermosensitive cation channel activated by noxious heat as well as a wide range of chemical stimuli. Although ATP by itself does not directly activate TRPV1, it was shown that intracellular ATP increases its activity by directly interacting with the Walker A motif residing on the C-terminus of TRPV1. In order to identify the amino acid residues that are essential for the binding of ATP to the TRPV1 channel, we performed the following point mutations of the Walker A motif: P732A, D733A, G734A, K735A, D736A, and D737A. Employing bulk fluorescence measurements, namely a TNP-ATP competition assay and FITC labelling and quenching experiments, we identified the key role of the K735 residue in the binding of the nucleotide. Experimental data was interpreted according to our molecular modelling simulations.

Abstract
In Arabidopsis thaliana cells, hypoosmotic treatment initially stimulates Ca2+ influx and inhibits its efflux and, concurrently, promotes a large H2O2 accumulation in the external medium, representative of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. After the first 10-15 min, Ca2+ influx rate is, however, lowered, and a large rise in Ca2+ efflux, concomitant with a rapid decline in H2O2 level, takes place. The drop of the H2O2 peak, as well as the efflux of Ca2+, are prevented by treatment with submicromolar concentrations of eosin yellow (EY), selectively inhibiting the Ca2+-ATPase of the plasma membrane (PM). Comparable changes of Ca2+ fluxes are also induced by hyperosmotic treatment. However, in this case, the H2O2 level does not rise, but declines below control levels when Ca2+ efflux is activated. Also K+ and H+ net fluxes across the PM and cytoplasmic pH (pH(cyt)) are very differently influenced by the two opposite stresses: strongly decreased by hypoosmotic stress and increased under hyperosmotic treatment. The H2O2 accumulation kinetics, followed as a function of the pH(cyt) changes imposed by modulation of the PM H+-ATPase activity or weak acid treatment, show a close correlation between pH(cyt) and H2O2 formed, a larger amount being produced for changes towards acidic pH values. Overall, these results confirm a relevant role for the PM Ca2+-ATPase in switching off the signal triggering ROS production, and propose a role for the PM H+-ATPase in modulating the development of the oxidative wave through the pH(cyt) changes following the changes of its activity induced by stress conditions.

Abstract
Treatment of Arabidopsis thaliana cells with oligogalacturonides (OG) initiates a transient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the concentration of which in the medium peaks after about 20 min of treatment. The analysis of OG effects on Ca (2+) fluxes shows that OG influence both Ca (2+) influx and Ca (2+) efflux (measured as (45)Ca (2+) fluxes) in a complex way. During the first 10 - 15 min, OG stimulate Ca (2+) influx and decrease its efflux, while at successive times of treatment, OG cause an increase of Ca (2+) efflux and a slight decrease of its influx. Treatment with sub- micro M concentrations of eosin yellow (EY), which selectively inhibits the Ca (2+)-ATPase of plasma membrane (PM), completely prevents the OG-induced increase in Ca (2+) efflux. EY also suppresses the transient feature of OG-induced ROS accumulation, keeping the level of ROS in the medium high. The biochemical analysis of PM purified from OG-treated cells indicates that treatment with OG for 15 to 45 min induces a significant decrease in Ca (2+)-ATPase activation by exogenous calmodulin (CaM), and markedly increases the amount of CaM associated with the PM. During the same time span, OG do not influence the expression of At-ACA8, the main isoform of PM Ca (2+)-ATPase in suspension-cultured A. thaliana cells, and of CaM genes. Overall, the reported results demonstrate that the PM Ca (2+)-ATPase is involved in the response of plant cells to OG and is essential in regulation of the oxidative burst.

Abstract
The effect of phospholipids on the activity of the plasma membrane (PM) Ca2+-ATPase was evaluated in PM isolated from germinating radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Tondo Rosso Quarantino) seeds after removal of endogenous calmodulin (CaM) by washing the PM vesicles with EDTA. Acidic phospholipids stimulated the basal Ca2+-ATPase activity in the following order of efficiency: phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate (PIP2) approximately phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate>phosphatidylinositol approximately phosphatidylserine approximately phosphatidic acid. Neutral phospholipids as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were essentially ineffective. When the assays were performed in the presence of optimal free Ca2+ concentrations (10 &mgr;M) acidic phospholipids did not affect the Ca2+-ATPase activated by CaM or by a controlled trypsin treatment of the PM, which cleaved the CaM-binding domain of the enzyme. Analysis of the dependence of Ca2+-ATPase activity on free Ca2+ concentration showed that acidic phospholipids increased Vmax and lowered the apparent Km for free Ca2+ below the value measured upon tryptic cleavage of the CaM-binding domain; in particular, PIP2 was shown to lower the apparent Km for free Ca2+ of the Ca2+-ATPase also in trypsin-treated PM. These results indicate that acidic phospholipids activate the plant PM Ca2+-ATPase through a mechanism only partially overlapping that of CaM, and thus involving a phospholipid-binding site in the Ca2+-ATPase distinct from the CaM-binding domain. The physiological implications of these results are discussed.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase was purified from Arabidopsis thaliana cultured cells by calmodulin (CaM)-affinity chromatography and reconstituted in proteoliposomes by the freeze-thaw sonication procedure. The reconstituted enzyme catalyzed CaM-stimulated 45Ca(2+) accumulation and H(+) ejection, monitored by the increase of fluorescence of the pH probe pyranine entrapped in the liposomal lumen during reconstitution. Proton ejection was immediately reversed by the protonophore FCCP, indicating that it is not electrically coupled to Ca(2+) uptake, but it is a primary event linked to Ca(2+) uptake in the form of countertransport.

Abstract
A Ca(2+)-ATPase was purified from plasma membranes (PM) isolated from Arabidopsis cultured cells by calmodulin (CaM)-affinity chromatography. Three tryptic fragments from the protein were microsequenced and the corresponding cDNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction using primers designed from the microsequences of the tryptic fragments. At-ACA8 (Arabidopsis-autoinhibited Ca(2+)-ATPase, isoform 8, accession no. AJ249352) encodes a 1,074 amino acid protein with 10 putative transmembrane domains, which contains all of the characteristic motifs of Ca(2+)-transporting P-type Ca(2+)-ATPases. The identity of At-ACA8p as the PM Ca(2+)-ATPase was confirmed by immunodetection with an antiserum raised against a sequence (valine-17 through threonine-31) that is not found in other plant CaM-stimulated Ca(2+)-ATPases. Confocal fluorescence microscopy of protoplasts immunodecorated with the same antiserum confirmed the PM localization of At-ACA8. At-ACA8 is the first plant PM localized Ca(2+)-ATPase to be cloned and is clearly distinct from animal PM Ca(2+)-ATPases due to the localization of its CaM-binding domain. CaM overlay assays localized the CaM-binding domain of At-ACA8p to a region of the N terminus of the enzyme around tryptophan-47, in contrast to a C-terminal localization for its animal counterparts. Comparison between the sequence of At-ACA8p and those of endomembrane-localized type IIB Ca(2+)-ATPases of plants suggests that At-ACA8 is a representative of a new subfamily of plant type IIB Ca(2+)-ATPases.

Abstract
Recent genomic data in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana reveal the existence of at least 11 Ca(2+)-ATPase genes, and an analysis of expressed sequence tags suggests that the number of calcium pumps in this organism might be even higher. A phylogenetic analysis shows that 11 Ca(2+)-ATPases clearly form distinct groups, type IIA (or ECA for ER-type Ca(2+)-ATPase) and type IIB (ACA for autoinhibited Ca(2+)-ATPase). While plant IIB calcium pumps characterized so far are localized to internal membranes, their animal homologues are exclusively found in the plasma membrane. However, Arabidopsis type IIB calcium pump isoforms ACA8, ACA9 and ACA10 form a separate outgroup and, based on the high molecular masses of the encoded proteins, are good candidates for plasma membrane bound Ca(2+)-ATPases. All known plant type IIB calcium ATPases seem to employ an N-terminal calmodulin-binding autoinhibitor. Therefore it appears that the activity of type IIB Ca(2+)-ATPases in plants and animals is controlled by N-terminal and C-terminal autoinhibitory domains, respectively. Possible functions of plant calcium pumps are described and - beside second messenger functions directly linked to calcium homeostasis - new data on a putative involvement in secretory and salt stress functions are discussed.

Abstract
The Ca2+-ATPase of the plasma membrane (PM) of germinating radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds was purified by calmodulin (CaM)-affinity chromatography using a batch procedure. PM purified by aqueous two-phase partitioning was solubilized with n-dodecyl beta-d-maltoside and applied to a CaM-agarose matrix. After various washings with decreasing Ca2+ concentrations, the Ca2+-ATPase was eluted with 5 mm ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). The EDTA-eluted fraction contained about 25% of the loaded Ca2+-ATPase activity, with a specific activity 70-fold higher than that of the starting PM fraction. The EDTA-eluted fraction was highly enriched in a 133-kD polypeptide, which was identified as the PM Ca2+-ATPase by 125I-CaM overlay and fluorescein-isothiocyanate labeling. The PM Ca2+-ATPase cross-reacted with an antiserum against a putative Ca2+-ATPase of the Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast envelope.

Abstract
We have already described that photo-oxidation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase with the halogenated dye erythrosin B produces inhibition of the ATPase activity (J.A. Mignaco et al., Biochemistry 35 (1996) 3886-3891). We now show that the Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities are also inhibited by this treatment. Modification of rapidly (< 10 min) oxidized residue(s) is responsible for the major loss of ATPase activity, whereas photo-inhibition of the phosphatase activities occurs more slowly (t1/2 20-30 min). Here we have focused on photo-inhibition of the Ca(2+)-independent pNPPase activity, and the counteracting effects of ATP and FITC. Following photo-oxidation, the Ca(2+)-independent pNPPase activity decreases monotonically. ATP partially protects against the inactivation of the pNPPase, whereas labeling the enzyme with FITC does not. However, the protective effect of ATP is completely abolished by the attached FITC. These data are interpreted in terms of two different sites that are susceptible to photo-oxidation and are involved in different events related to substrate hydrolysis.

Abstract
Erythrosin B was used to photo-oxidize the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. The ATPase activity is rapidly and irreversibly inhibited by photo-oxidation with erythrosin. This inhibition is protected by the presence of ATP during the photo-oxidation period. After photo-oxidation, the steady-state phosphorylation by ATP remains almost unchanged, whereas phosphorylation by inorganic phosphate is impaired. The pseudo-first order rate constants for phosphorylation by 15 microM ATP at 25 degrees C are strongly inhibited when starting from either a Ca2+-bound or a Ca2+-free enzyme form, decreasing from 145 to 23 s-1 for the Ca2+-bound form and from 50 to 18 s-1 for the Ca2+-free form. Concurrently, the rate constants for dephosphorylation are also severely inhibited, changing from a fast double exponential to a very slow single exponential decay in the reverse direction and from a moderately slow single to a very slow single exponential decay in the forward direction. Ca2+ binding data show that the phosphorylated intermediate formed by the photo-oxidized enzyme contains two occluded Ca2+, and TNP-ATP fluorescence measurements indicate that it accumulates in a E1-P.Ca2-like conformation. Protection by ADP against glutaraldehyde-induced cross-linking indicates that ADP binding to Ca2+-ATPase is not impaired by photo-oxidation nor by free erythrosin. These data support the view that an ADP-insensitive, Ca2+-bound, slowly interconverting phosphoenzyme is formed. Thus, photo-oxidation with erythrosin B leads to impairment of phosphoryl transfer reactions and related conformational changes.

Abstract
Erythrosin B and eosin Y stimulate p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis by purified sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase by nearly 2-3 fold in the presence of Ca(2+). This stimulation is not due to the change on the apparent affinity for substrate but is indeed due to acceleration of the turnover rate of the enzyme. Stimulation reaches a maximum at approximately 5 microM erythrosin or 20 microM eosin and is strictly dependent on the presence of Ca(2+) in reaction media, while higher concentrations of dye progressively inhibit phosphatase activity. Labeling with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) largely shifts the Km for p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) and completely abolishes the stimulation of phosphatase activity induced by erythrosin in the presence of Ca(2+), apparently by FITC impairing dye binding to an activator site and allowing only manifestation of an inhibitory binding site. In the absence of Ca(2+), both erythrosin and eosin inhibit pNPP hyrolysis with Ic50 values 3-4 fold higher than the maximally stimulatory enzyme with FITC, which by its turn does not affect pNPPase activity in absence of Ca(2+). It is suggested that stimulation and inhibition of phosphatase activity are related to two simultaneous and physically different nucleotide analog binding sites.

Abstract
The supposition that all eukaryotic cell types contain a plasma membrane (PM)-type Ca pump (i.e. a Ca pump which is directly-stimulated by calmodulin and located exclusively at the PM) has been questioned by recent data from higher plant cells. These studies suggest the presence of Ca pumps directly stimulated by calmodulin associated with an intracellular membrane (probably the endoplasmic reticulum, ER) in a variety of monocotelydonous and dicotelydonous species. Thus plants have a 'PM-type' Ca pump at an intracellular membrane. The evidence for this includes studies on isolated membranes, purification and functional reconstitution and phosphorylated intermediate formation. Plant cells also contain a homologue of the sarcoplasmic reticulum/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) Ca pump, probably located at the ER. The implications of these new data for our appreciation of the structure, function and location of eukaryotic Ca pumps are discussed, together with recent data from the use of inhibitors specific to mammalian ER/SR Ca pumps.
