Abstract
L-type-voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (L-VDCCs; CaV1.2, α1C), crucial in cardiovascular physiology and pathology, are modulated via activation of G-protein-coupled receptors and subsequently protein kinase C (PKC). Despite extensive study, key aspects of the mechanisms leading to PKC-induced Ca2+ current increase are unresolved. A notable residue, Ser1928, located in the distal C-terminus (dCT) of α1C was shown to be phosphorylated by PKC. CaV1.2 undergoes posttranslational modifications yielding full-length and proteolytically cleaved CT-truncated forms. We have previously shown that, in Xenopus oocytes, activation of PKC enhances α1C macroscopic currents. This increase depended on the isoform of α1C expressed. Only isoforms containing the cardiac, long N-terminus (L-NT), were upregulated by PKC. Ser1928 was also crucial for the full effect of PKC. Here we report that, in Xenopus oocytes, following PKC activation the amount of α1C protein expressed in the plasma membrane (PM) increases within minutes. The increase in PM content is greater with full-length α1C than in dCT-truncated α1C, and requires Ser1928. The same was observed in HL-1 cells, a mouse atrium cell line natively expressing cardiac α1C, which undergoes the proteolytic cleavage of the dCT, thus providing a native setting for exploring the effects of PKC in cardiomyocytes. Interestingly, activation of PKC preferentially increased the PM levels of full-length, L-NT α1C. Our findings suggest that part of PKC regulation of CaV1.2 in the heart involves changes in channel's cellular fate. The mechanism of this PKC regulation appears to involve the C-terminus of α1C, possibly corroborating the previously proposed role of NT-CT interactions within α1C.

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
Corazonin, an undecapeptide neurohormone sharing a highly conserved amino acid sequence across Insecta, plays different physiological roles in the regulation of heart contraction rates, silk spinning rates, the induction of dark color and morphometric phase changes, and ecdysis. Corazonin receptors have been identified in Drosophila melanogaster, Manduca sexta, and Musca domestica. However, detailed information on the signaling and major physiological functions of corazonin and its receptor is largely unknown. In the current study, using both the mammalian cell line HEK293 and insect cell lines BmN and Sf21, we paired the Bombyx corazonin neuropeptide as a specific endogenous ligand for the Bombyx neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptor A21 (BNGR-A21), and we therefore designated this receptor as BmCrzR. Further characterization indicated that synthetic BmCrz demonstrated a high affinity for and activated BmCrzR, resulting in intracellular cAMP accumulation, Ca(2+) mobilization, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation via the Gq- and Gs-coupled signaling pathways. The direct interaction of BmCrzR with BmCrz was confirmed by a rhodamine-labeled BmCrz peptide. Moreover, experiments with double-stranded RNA and synthetic peptide injection suggested a possible role of BmCrz/BmCrzR in the regulation of larval growth and spinning rate. Our present results provide the first in-depth information on BmCrzR-mediated signaling for further elucidation of the BmCrz/BmCrzR system in the regulation of fundamental physiological processes.

Abstract
L-type voltage dependent Ca(2+) channels (L-VDCCs; Ca(v)1.2) are crucial in cardiovascular physiology. In heart and smooth muscle, hormones and transmitters operating via G(q) enhance L-VDCC currents via essential protein kinase C (PKC) involvement. Heterologous reconstitution studies in Xenopus oocytes suggested that PKC and G(q)-coupled receptors increased L-VDCC currents only in cardiac long N-terminus (NT) isoforms of α(1C), whereas known smooth muscle short-NT isoforms were inhibited by PKC and G(q) activators. We report a novel regulation of the long-NT α(1C) isoform by Gβγ. Gβγ inhibited whereas a Gβγ scavenger protein augmented the G(q)--but not phorbol ester-mediated enhancement of channel activity, suggesting that Gβγ acts upstream from PKC. In vitro binding experiments reveal binding of both Gβγ and PKC to α(1C)-NT. However, PKC modulation was not altered by mutations of multiple potential phosphorylation sites in the NT, and was attenuated by a mutation of C-terminally located serine S1928. The insertion of exon 9a in intracellular loop 1 rendered the short-NT α(1C) sensitive to PKC stimulation and to Gβγ scavenging. Our results suggest a complex antagonistic interplay between G(q)-activated PKC and Gβγ in regulation of L-VDCC, in which multiple cytosolic segments of α(1C) are involved.

Abstract
Exposure to chronic hypoxia (CH) causes pulmonary hypertension. The vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1) is thought to play a role in the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. In pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) from chronically hypoxic rats, ET-1 signaling is altered, with the ET-1-induced change in intracellular calcium concentration (Δ[Ca(2+)](i)) occurring through activation of voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCC) even though ET-1-induced depolarization via inhibition of K(+) channels is lost. The mechanism underlying this response is unclear. We hypothesized that activation of VDCCs by ET-1 following CH might be mediated by protein kinase C (PKC) and/or Rho kinase, both of which have been shown to phosphorylate and activate VDCCs. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of PKC and Rho kinase inhibitors on the ET-1-induced Δ[Ca(2+)](i) in PASMCs from rats exposed to CH (10% O(2), 3 wk) using the Ca(2+)-sensitive dye fura 2-AM and fluorescent microscopy techniques. We found that staurosporine and GF109203X, inhibitors of PKC, and Y-27632 and HA 1077, Rho kinase inhibitors, reduced the ET-1-induced Δ[Ca(2+)](i) by >70%. Inhibition of tyrosine kinases (TKs) with genistein or tyrphostin A23, or combined inhibition of PKC, TKs, and Rho kinase, reduced the Δ[Ca(2+)](i) to a similar extent as inhibition of either PKC or Rho kinase alone. The ability of PKC or Rho kinase to activate VDCCs in our cells was verified using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and GTP-γ-S. These results suggest that following CH, the ET-1-induced Δ[Ca(2+)](i) in PASMCs occurs via Ca(2+) influx through VDCCs mediated primarily by PKC, TKs, and Rho kinase.

Abstract
Engagement of α(5)β(1)-integrin by fibronectin (FN) acutely enhances Cav1.2 channel (Ca(L)) current in rat arteriolar smooth muscle and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293-T) expressing Ca(L). Using coimmunoprecipitation strategies, we show that coassociation of Ca(L) with α(5)- or β(1)-integrin in HEK293-T cells is specific and depends on cell adhesion to FN. In rat arteriolar smooth muscle, coassociations between Ca(L) and α(5)β(1)-integrin and between Ca(L) and phosphorylated c-Src are also revealed and enhanced by FN treatment. Using site-directed mutagenesis of Ca(L) heterologously expressed in HEK293-T cells, we identified two regions of Ca(L) required for these interactions: 1) COOH-terminal residues Ser(1901) and Tyr(2122), known to be phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA) and c-Src, respectively; and 2) two proline-rich domains (PRDs) near the middle of the COOH terminus. Immunofluorescence confocal imaging revealed a moderate degree of wild-type Ca(L) colocalization with β(1)-integrin on the plasma membrane. Collectively, our results strongly suggest that 1) upon ligation by FN, Ca(L) associates with α(5)β(1)-integrin in a macromolecular complex including PKA, c-Src, and potentially other protein kinases; 2) phosphorylation of Ca(L) at Y(2122) and/or S(1901) is required for association of Ca(L) with α(5)β(1)-integrin; and 3) c-Src, via binding to PRDs that reside in the II-III linker region and/or the COOH terminus of Ca(L), mediates current potentiation following α(5)β(1)-integrin engagement. These findings provide new evidence for how interactions between α(5)β(1)-integrin and FN can modulate Ca(L) entry and consequently alter the physiological function of multiple types of excitable cells.

Abstract
The heme oxygenase (HO) enzymes catalyze the rate-limiting step of heme breakdown, and may accelerate oxidative injury to neurons exposed to heme or hemoglobin. HO-1 and HO-2 are activated in vitro by the phos-phatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and protein kinase C (PKC)/CK2 pathways, respectively. The present study tested the hypotheses that CK2, PKC, and PI3K inhibitors would reduce both HO activity and neuronal vulnerability to hemoglobin in murine cortical cultures. Oxidative cell injury was quantified by LDH release and malondialdehyde assays. HO activity was assessed by carbon monoxide assay. Consistent with prior observations, treating primary cortical cultures with hemoglobin for 16h resulted in release of approximately half of neuronal LDH and a seven-fold increase in malondialdehyde. Both endpoints were significantly reduced by the CK2 inhibitors 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB) and 2-dimethyl-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1H-benzimidazole (DMAT), and by the PKC inhibitor GF109203X; the PI3K inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin had no effect. None of these inhibitors altered basal HO activity. The 1.9-fold activity increase observed after hemoglobin treatment was largely prevented by LY294002 and LY303511, a structural analog of LY294002 that does not inhibit PI3K activity. It was not reduced by wortmannin, TBB or GF109203X. These results suggest that the protective effect of CK2 and PKC inhibitors in this model is not dependent on reduction in HO activity. In this culture system that expresses both HO-1 and HO-2, HO activity does not appear to be primarily regulated by the PKC/CK2 or PI3K pathways.

Abstract
Understanding the basis for the control of myometrial contractant and relaxant signaling pathways is important to understanding how to manage myometrial contractions. Signaling pathways are influenced by the level of expression of the signals and signal pathway components, the location of these components in the appropriate subcellular environment, and covalent modification. Crosstalk between these pathways regulates the effectiveness of signal transduction and represents an important way by which hormones can regulate phenotype. This review deals primarily with signaling pathways that control Ca2+ entry and intracellular release, as well as the interplay between these pathways.
