Project description:Previous studies of the early kinetics of rises in cytosolic free [Ca2+] in fura-2-loaded human platelets suggested that: (1) Ca2+ entry slightly preceded internal discharge with thrombin and other agonists known to promote inositol lipid hydrolysis; (2) with ADP, Ca2+ entry occurred without measurable delay and clearly preceded internal Ca2+ discharge. In the present work, Mn2+ added to the external medium was used as a marker for Ca2+ entry. By using an excitation wavelength of 360 nm, a quench of fura-2 can be followed to report Mn2+ entry without 'contamination' of the signal by changes in [Ca2+], because at this isosbestic wavelength Ca2+ does not alter fura-2 fluorescence. The present results show that, with thrombin stimulation, readily discernible Mn2+ entry starts after discharge of internal Ca2+ and is maintained for many minutes. With ADP, Mn2+ entry starts without measurable delay (less than 20 ms) and clearly precedes internal Ca2+ discharge. However, the enhanced Mn2+ permeability is only short-lived. These results, considered alongside previous data, point to the possible presence of at least three different receptor-mediated Ca2+-entry mechanisms in human platelets, one of which may include regulation by the 'state of filling' of this dischargeable Ca2+ store.

Project description:Stopped-flow fluorimetric studies at 37 degrees C have shown that ADP, at optimal concentrations, can evoke Ca2+ or Mn2+ influx in fura-2-loaded human platelets without measurable delay. In contrast, the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores is delayed in onset by about 200 ms. By working at a lower temperature, 17 degrees C, we have now shown that the rise in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) evoked by ADP in the presence of external Ca2+ is biphasic. The use of Mn2+ as a tracer for bivalent-cation entry indicates that both phases of the ADP-evoked response are associated with influx. The fast phase of the ADP-evoked rise in [Ca2+]i, which occurs without measurable delay at both 17 degrees C and 37 degrees C, is consistent with Ca2+ entry mediated by receptor-operated channels in the plasma membrane. The delayed phase, indicated by Mn2+ quench, is coincident with the discharge of the intracellular Ca2+ stores. Forskolin did not inhibit the fast phases of ADP-evoked rise in [Ca2+]i or Mn2+ quench, but completely abolished ADP-evoked discharge of the intracellular stores, the delayed phase of the rise in [Ca2+]i observed in the presence of external Ca2+ and the second phase of Mn2+ quench. The timing of the delayed event appears to be modulated by [Ca2+]i: the delayed phase of Mn2+ quench coincides with discharge of the intracellular stores in the absence of added Ca2+, but with the second phase of the ADP-evoked rise in [Ca2+]i in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Similarly, blockade of the early phase of Ca2+ entry by SK&F 96365 further delays the second phase. It is suggested that a pathway for Ca2+ entry which is regulated by the intracellular Ca2+ store exists in platelets. This pathway operates alongside, and appears to be modulated by the activity of other routes for Ca2+ entry into the cytosol.

Project description:Abiogenic metals Pb and Hg are highly toxic since chronic and/or acute exposure often leads to severe neuropathologies. Mn2+ is an essential metal ion but in excess can impair neuronal function. In this study, we address in vitro the interactions between neuronal calcium sensor 1 (NCS1) and divalent cations. Results showed that non-physiological ions (Pb2+ and Mn2+) bind to EF-hands in NCS1 with nanomolar affinity and lower equilibrium dissociation constant than the physiological Ca2+ ion. (Kd, Pb2+ = 7.0 ± 1.0 nM; Kd, Mn2+ = 34.0 ± 6.0 nM; K). Native ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) and trapped ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (nESI-TIMS-MS) studies provided the NCS1-metal complex compositions-up to four Ca2+ or Mn2+ ions and three Pb2+ ions (M⋅Pb1-3Ca1-3, M⋅Mn1-4Ca1-2, and M⋅Ca1-4) were observed in complex-and similarity across the mobility profiles suggests that the overall native structure is preserved regardless of the number and type of cations. However, the non-physiological metal ions (Pb2+, Mn2+, and Hg2+) binding to NCS1 leads to more efficient quenching of Trp emission and a decrease in W30 and W103 solvent exposure compared to the apo and Ca2+ bound form, although the secondary structural rearrangement and exposure of hydrophobic sites are analogous to those for Ca2+ bound protein. Only Pb2+ and Hg2+ binding to EF-hands leads to the NCS1 dimerization whereas Mn2+ bound NCS1 remains in the monomeric form, suggesting that other factors in addition to metal ion coordination, are required for protein dimerization.

Project description:In single Fura-2 ester-loaded hepatocytes, stimulation by vasopressin, but not emptying of the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ store by 2,5-di-(t-butyl)hydroquinone, resulted in an increase in the rate of Fura-2 fluorescence-quenching by Mn2+. Similarly, in cells microinjected with Fura-2 salt, vasopressin stimulated Mn2+ entry while 2,5-di-(t-butyl)hydroquinone or thapsigargin did not. The pattern of Fura-2 quenching by Mn2+ only correlated with the movement of Mn2+ across the plasma membrane.

Project description:Nonmuscle cells have almost ubiquitously evolved a mechanism to detect and prevent Ca2+ store depletion-store operated calcium entry. No such mechanism has, as yet, been reported in cardiac myocytes. However, it is conceivable that such a mechanism may play an important role in cardiac Ca2+ homeostasis to ensure the availability of sufficient stored Ca2+ to maintain normal excitation contraction coupling. We present data that confirms the presence of a mechanism that is able to monitor the Ca2+ load of the SR and initiate a signaling process to accelerate Ca2+ uptake by the SR when store depletion is detected. Depletion of SR Ca2+ activates a protein kinase, the principal SR substrate of which is phospholamban. Phosphorylation of this SR protein promotes Ca2+ pump activity and therefore store refilling. Furthermore, a protein kinase activity associated with the SR that is inhibited by Ca2+ ions has been identified. We have measured lumenal [Ca2+] by using a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator and found that by initiating Ca2+ uptake and increasing Ca2+ load, we can inhibit the protein kinase activity associated with the SR. This confirms that a protein kinase, that is regulated by lumenal [Ca2+], has been identified and represents part of a previously unidentified signalling cascade. This local feedback mechanism would allow the myocyte to detect and prevent SR Ca2+ load depletion.

Project description:Mediated through the combined action of STIM proteins and Orai channels, store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) functions ubiquitously among different cell types. The existence of multiple STIM and Orai genes has made it difficult to assign specific roles of each STIM and Orai homolog in mediating Ca2+ signals. Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tools, we generated cells with both STIM or all three Orai homologs deleted and directly monitored store Ca2+ and Ca2+ signals. We found that unstimulated, SOCE null KO cells still retain 50~70% of ER Ca2+ stores of wildtype (wt) cells. After brief exposure to store-emptying conditions, acute refilling of ER Ca2+ stores was totally blocked in KO cells. However, after 24 h in culture, stores were eventually refilled. Thus, SOCE is critical for immediate refilling of ER Ca2+ but is dispensable for the maintenance of long-term ER Ca2+ homeostasis. Using the Orai null background triple Orai-KO cells, we examined the plasma membrane translocation properties of a series of truncated STIM1 variants. FRET analysis reveals that, even though PM tethering of STIM1 expedites the activation of STIM1 by facilitating its oligomerization, migration, and accumulation in ER-PM junctions, it is not required for the conformational switch, oligomerization, and clustering of STIM1. Even without overt puncta formation at ER-PM junctions, STIM11-491 and STIM11-666 could still rescue SOCE when expressed in STIM KO cells. Thus, ER-PM trapping and clustering of STIM molecules only facilitates the process of SOCE activation, but is not essential for the activation of Orai channels.

Project description:STIM1 (stromal interacting molecule 1), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that controls store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), redistributes into punctae at the cell periphery after store depletion. This redistribution is suggested to have a causal role in activation of SOCE. However, whether peripheral STIM1 punctae that are involved in regulation of SOCE are determined by depletion of peripheral or more internal ER has not yet been demonstrated. Here we show that Ca(2+) depletion in subplasma membrane ER is sufficient for peripheral redistribution of STIM1 and activation of SOCE. 1 microM thapsigargin (Tg) induced substantial depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores and rapidly activated SOCE. In comparison, 1 nM Tg induced slower, about 60-70% less Ca(2+) depletion but similar SOCE. SOCE was confirmed by measuring I(SOC) in addition to Ca(2+), Mn(2+), and Ba(2+) entry. Importantly, 1 nM Tg caused redistribution of STIM1 only in the ER-plasma membrane junction, whereas 1 microM Tg caused a relatively global relocalization of STIM1 in the cell. During the time taken for STIM1 relocalization and SOCE activation, 1 nM Bodipy-fluorescein Tg primarily labeled the subplasma membrane region, whereas 1 microM Tg labeled the entire cell. The localization of Tg in the subplasma membrane region was associated with depletion of ER in this region and activation of SOCE. Together, these data suggest that peripheral STIM1 relocalization that is causal in regulation of SOCE is determined by the status of [Ca(2+)] in the ER in close proximity to the plasma membrane. Thus, the mechanism involved in regulation of SOCE is contained within the ER-plasma membrane junctional region.

Project description:The increased production of proinflammatory cytokines by adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) contributes to chronic, low-level inflammation during obesity. We found that obesity in mice reduced the bioavailability of the gaseous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Steady-state, intracellular concentrations of H2S were lower in ATMs isolated from mice with diet-induced obesity than in ATMs from lean mice. In addition, the intracellular concentration of H2S in the macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was reduced during an acute inflammatory response evoked by the microbial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Reduced intracellular concentrations of H2S led to increased Ca(2+) influx through the store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) pathway, which was prevented by the exogenous H2S donor GYY4137. Furthermore, GYY4137 inhibited the Orai3 channel, a key component of the SOCE machinery. The enhanced production of proinflammatory cytokines by RAW264.7 cells and ATMs from obese mice was reduced by exogenous H2S or by inhibition of SOCE. Together, these data suggest that the depletion of macrophage H2S that occurs during acute (LPS-induced) or chronic (obesity) inflammation increases SOCE through disinhibition of Orai3 and promotes the production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Project description:Capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) is Ca2+ entering after stimulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation and initiation of Ca2+ store depletion. One hallmark of CCE is that it can also be triggered merely by store depletion, as occurs after inhibition of internal Ca2+ pumps with thapsigargin. Evidence has accumulated in support of a role of transient receptor potential (Trp) proteins as structural subunits of a class of Ca2+-permeable cation channels activated by agonists that stimulate IP3 formation-very likely through a direct interaction between the IP3 receptor and a Trp subunit of the Ca2+ entry channel. The role of Trp's in Ca2+ entry triggered by store depletion alone is less clear. Only a few of the cloned Trp's appear to enhance this type of Ca2+ entry, and when they do, the effect requires special conditions to be observed, which native CCE does not. Here we report the full-length cDNA of mouse trp2, the homologue of the human trp2 pseudogene. Mouse Trp2 is shown to be readily activated not only after stimulation with an agonist but also by store depletion in the absence of an agonist. In contrast to other Trp proteins, Trp2-mediated Ca2+ entry activated by store depletion is seen under the same conditions that reveal endogenous store depletion-activated Ca2+ entry, i.e., classical CCE. The findings support the general hypothesis that Trp proteins are subunits of store- and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels.

Project description:The thermostability of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) I is strongly dependent on the presence of NaCl, a salt that is almost neutral on the Hofmeister scale, which suggests that solvent-accessible electrostatic repulsion might play a role in the inactivation of the enzyme. Moreover, CaCl2 and MgCl2 are able to stabilize the enzyme at millimolar concentrations. Ca2+ stabilizes yeast ADH I by preventing the dissociation of the reduced form of the enzyme and by preventing the unfolding of the oxidized form of the enzyme. An analysis of several chimaeric ADHs suggests that Ca2+ is fixed by the Asp-236 and Glu-101 side chains in yeast ADH I, but that Ca2+ can be displaced by replacing Met-168 by an Arg residue, as suggested by a three-dimensional model of the enzyme structure. These results indicate that electrostatic repulsion can cause protein unfolding and/or dissociation. It is proposed that yeast ADH I binds Mg2+ in vivo.
