Abstract
Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for cell function and survival. As such, the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is tightly controlled by a wide number of specialized Ca2+ handling proteins. One among them is the Na+ -Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), a ubiquitous plasma membrane transporter that exploits the electrochemical gradient of Na+ to drive Ca2+ out of the cell, against its concentration gradient. In this critical role, this secondary transporter guides vital physiological processes such as Ca2+ homeostasis, muscle contraction, bone formation, and memory to name a few. Herein, we review the progress made in recent years about the structure of the mammalian NCX and how it relates to function. Particular emphasis will be given to the mammalian cardiac isoform, NCX1.1, due to the extensive studies conducted on this protein. Given the degree of conservation among the eukaryotic exchangers, the information highlighted herein will provide a foundation for our understanding of this transporter family. We will discuss gene structure, alternative splicing, topology, regulatory mechanisms, and NCX's functional role on cardiac physiology. Throughout this article, we will attempt to highlight important milestones in the field and controversial topics where future studies are required. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Calbindin-D(9k) (CaBP-9k) and -D(28k) (CaBP-28k) are cytosolic proteins with EF-hand motifs that have a high affinity for calcium ions. Many types of calcium channels and intracellular calcium binding proteins, such as sodium/calcium exchangers (NCXs) and transient receptor potential cation channels (TRPVs), have been detected in the placenta. In this study, the expression of calcium channels involved in maternal-fetal calcium transport were investigated in wild-type mice versus CaBP-9k, CaBP-28k, and CaBP-9k/28k double knockout (KO) mouse models. The expression of calcium transport genes in three dissected sections of the placenta (maternal, central, and fetal) was examined on gestational day 19 (GD 19). The expression of CaBP-9k, TRPV6, TRPV5, and NCX1 mRNA was high in fetal compared to maternal placenta, while CaBP-28k was abundant in the maternal placenta. CaBP-9k was enhanced in all sections of placenta in CaBP-28k KO mice, whereas CaBP-28k was reduced in CaBP-9k KO mice. The expression of TRPV6, TRPV5, and NCX1 were induced in both maternal and fetal placentas in CaBP-9k KO mice, but were upregulated in maternal and central placentas of CaBP-28k KO mice. The levels of these proteins showed similar patterns with those of their mRNA. Placental CaBP-9k, TRPV6, TRPV5, and NCX1 proteins were abundantly expressed in the intraplacental yolk sac located in the fetal placenta. CaBP-28k did not colocalize with other calcium transport genes, although it was enriched in the placental trophoblasts of the decidual zone in the maternal placenta. These results indicate that placental TRPV6, TRPV5, and NCX1 compensate for CaBPs in CaBP-9k and/or CaBP-28k KO mice, and may take over the roles of CaBP-9k and CaBP-28k to transfer calcium ions in the placenta. Taken together, these results indicate that TRPV6, NCX1, and CaBP-9k in the fetal placenta and CaBP-28k in the maternal placenta may play key roles in controlling calcium transport across the placenta during pregnancy.

Key role of a PtdIns-4,5P2 micro domain in ionic regulation of the mammalian heart Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Cell Calcium 2009; 45:546-53.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol biphosphate (PtdIns-4,5P(2)) plays a key role in the regulation of the mammalian heart Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) by protecting the intracellular Ca(2+) regulatory site against H(+)(i) and (H(+)(i)+Na(+)(i)) synergic inhibition. MgATP and MgATP-gamma-S up-regulation of NCX1 takes place via the production of this phosphoinositide. In microsomes containing PtdIns-4,5P(2) incubated in the absence of MgATP and at normal [Na(+)](i), alkalinization increases the affinity for Ca(2+)(i) to the values seen in the presence of the nucleotide at normal pH; under this condition, addition of MgATP does not increase the affinity for Ca(2+)(i) any further. On the other hand, prevention of Na(+)(i) inhibition by alkalinization in the absence of MgATP does not take place when the microsomes are depleted of PtdIns-4,5P(2). Experiments on NCX1-PtdIns-4,5P(2) cross-coimmunoprecipitation show that the relevant PtdIns-4,5P(2) is not the overall membrane component but specifically that tightly attached to NCX1. Consequently, the highest affinity of the Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site is seen in the deprotonated and PtdIns-4,5P(2)-bound NCX1. Confirming these results, a PtdIns-5-kinase also cross-coimmunoprecipitates with NCX1 without losing its functional competence. These observations indicate, for the first time, the existence of a PtdIns-5-kinase in the NCX1 microdomain.

Abstract
In the present study the effect of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was studied on a native TRPC1 store-operated channel (SOC) in freshly dispersed rabbit portal vein myocytes. Application of diC8-PIP2, a water soluble form of PIP2, to quiescent inside-out patches evoked single channel currents with a unitary conductance of 1.9 pS. DiC8-PIP2-evoked channel currents were inhibited by anti-TRPC1 antibodies and these characteristics are identical to SOCs evoked by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and BAPTA-AM. SOCs stimulated by CPA, BAPTA-AM and the phorbol ester phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) were reduced by anti-PIP2 antibodies and by depletion of tissue PIP2 levels by pre-treatment of preparations with wortmannin and LY294002. However, these reagents did not alter the ability of PIP2 to activate SOCs in inside-out patches. Co-immunoprecipitation techniques demonstrated association between TRPC1 and PIP2 at rest, which was greatly decreased by wortmannin and LY294002. Pre-treatment of cells with PDBu, which activates protein kinase C (PKC), augmented SOC activation by PIP2 whereas the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine decreased SOC stimulation by PIP2. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments provide evidence that PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1 occurs constitutively and was increased by CPA and PDBu but decreased by chelerythrine. These novel results show that PIP2 can activate TRPC1 SOCs in native vascular myocytes and plays an important role in SOC activation by CPA, BAPTA-AM and PDBu. Moreover, the permissive role of PIP2 in SOC activation requires PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1.

Abstract
The present work investigates the effect of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) on native TRPC6 channel activity in freshly dispersed rabbit mesenteric artery myocytes using patch clamp recording and co-immunoprecipitation methods. Inclusion of 100 microM diC8-PIP(2) in the patch pipette and bathing solutions, respectively, inhibited angiotensin II (Ang II)-evoked whole-cell cation currents and TRPC6 channel activity by over 90%. In inside-out patches diC8-PIP(2) also inhibited TRPC6 activity induced by the diacylglycerol analogue 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) with an IC(50) of 7.6 microM. Anti-PIP(2) antibodies potentiated Ang II- and OAG-evoked TRPC6 activity by about 2-fold. Depleters of tissue PIP(2) wortmannin and LY294002 stimulated TRPC6 activity, as did the polycation PIP(2) scavenger poly-L-lysine. Wortmannin reduced Ang II-evoked TRPC6 activity by over 75% but increased OAG-induced TRPC6 activity by over 50-fold. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated association between PIP(2) and TRPC6 proteins in tissue lysates. Pre-treatment with Ang II, OAG and wortmannin reduced TRPC6 association with PIP(2). These results provide for the first time compelling evidence that constitutively produced PIP(2) exerts a powerful inhibitory action on native TRPC6 channels.

Abstract
PIP(2) is a minor phospholipid that modulates multiple cellular processes. However, its abundance by mass, like diacylglycerol, is still 20 to 100 times greater than the master phospholipid second messenger, PIP(3). Therefore, it is a case-by-case question whether PIP(2) is acting more like GTP, in being a cofactor in regulatory processes, or whether it is being used as a true second messenger. Analysis of signaling mechanisms in primary cells is essential to answer this question, as overexpression studies will naturally generate false positives. In connection with the possible messenger function of PIP(2), a second question arises as to how and if PIP(2) metabolism and signaling may be limited in space. This review summarizes succinctly the notable cases in which PIP(2) is proposed to function in a localized way and the different mechanistic models that may allow it to function locally. In general, drastic restrictions of PIP(2) diffusion are required. It is speculated that molecular PIP(2) signaling may be possible in the absence of PIP(2) gradients via ternary complexes between PIP(2) and two protein partners. That PIP(2) synthesis and hydrolysis might be locally dependent on protein-protein interactions, and direct lipid "hand-off" is suggested by multiple results.

Abstract
Using bovine heart sarcolemma vesicles we studied the effects of protons and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) on the affinity of the mammalian Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) for intracellular Ca(2+). By following the effects of extravesicular ligands in inside-out vesicles, their interactions with sites of NCX1 facing the intracellular medium were investigated. Two Na(+)-gradient-dependent fluxes were studied: Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+) release. PtdIns-4,5-P2 binding to NCX1 was investigated in parallel. Without MgATP (no 'de novo' synthesis of PtdIns-4,5-P2), alkalinization increased the affinity for Ca(2+) and the PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1. Vesicles depleted of phosphoinositides were insensitive to alkalinization, but became responsive following addition of exogenous PtdIns-4,5-P2 or PtdIns plus MgATP. Acidification reduced the affinity for Ca(2+)(ev); this was only partially reversed by MgATP, despite the increase in bound PtdIns-4,5-P2 to levels observed with alkalinization. Inhibition of Ca(2+) uptake by increasing extravesicular [Na(+)] indicates that it is related to H(+)(i) and Na(+)(i) synergistic inhibition of the Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site. Therefore, the affinity of the NCX1 Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site for Ca(2+) was maximal when both intracellular alkalinization and an increase in PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1 (not just of the total membrane PtdIns-4,5-P2) occurred simultaneously. In addition, protons influenced the distribution, or the exposure, of PtdIns-4,5-P2 molecules in the surroundings and/or on the exchanger protein.

Abstract
The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger's family of membrane transporters is widely distributed in cells and tissues of the animal kingdom and constitutes one of the most important mechanisms for extruding Ca(2+) from the cell. Two basic properties characterize them. 1) Their activity is not predicted by thermodynamic parameters of classical electrogenic countertransporters (dependence on ionic gradients and membrane potential), but is markedly regulated by transported (Na(+) and Ca(2+)) and nontransported ionic species (protons and other monovalent cations). These modulations take place at specific sites in the exchanger protein located at extra-, intra-, and transmembrane protein domains. 2) Exchange activity is also regulated by the metabolic state of the cell. The mammalian and invertebrate preparations share MgATP in that role; the squid has an additional compound, phosphoarginine. This review emphasizes the interrelationships between ionic and metabolic modulations of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange, focusing mainly in two preparations where most of the studies have been carried out: the mammalian heart and the squid giant axon. A surprising fact that emerges when comparing the MgATP-related pathways in these two systems is that although they are different (phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate in the cardiac and a soluble cytosolic regulatory protein in the squid), their final target effects are essentially similar: Na(+)-Ca(2+)-H(+) interactions with the exchanger. A model integrating both ionic and metabolic interactions in the regulation of the exchanger is discussed in detail as well as its relevance in cellular Ca(i)(2+) homeostasis.
