Calcium Influx: Beyond ‘Current’ Biology
A novel, cell-surface protein essential for Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel function has been identified through independent genome-wide screens. This huge advance will enable molecular dissection of the CRAC channel complex, moving the field beyond Icrac signature to structure.
متن کاملDopamine reduces slow outward current and calcium influx in burst-firing neuron R15 of Aplysia.
Dopamine's effect on calcium influx into the bursting neuron, R15, of Aplysia californica was tested by tail current measurements and by measurement of absorbance of intracellular Arsenazo III, a calcium-sensitive indicator. Slow outward tail currents were elicited by subthreshold depolarization in voltage clamp and were demonstrated to be dependent upon transient increases in intracellular cal...
متن کاملErythropoietin-Modulated Calcium Influx Through TRPC2 Is
Erythropoietin (Epo) modulates calcium influx through the calcium-permeable channel TRPC2. Here, the mechanisms through which Epo activates TRPC2 were examined. Erythroblasts were isolated from the spleens of phenylhydrazine-treated mice, and Epo stimulation resulted in a significant and dose-dependent increase in intracellular calcium ([Ca]i). This increase in [Ca]i was inhibited by pretreatme...
متن کاملIncreased calcium influx in dystrophic muscle
We examined pathways which might result in the elevated resting free calcium [( Ca2+]i) levels observed in dystrophic mouse (mdx) skeletal muscle fibers and myotubes and human Duchenne muscular dystrophy myotubes. We found that mdx fibers, loaded with the calcium indicator fura-2, were less able to regulate [Ca2+]i levels in the region near the sarcolemma. Increased calcium influx or decreased ...
متن کاملCalcium Influx: Is Homer the Missing Link?
Cytosolic calcium signals occur in response to diverse stimuli and regulate a range of cellular processes [1]. In most non-excitable cells, increases in cytosolic calcium are brought about by its release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The principal release channels are inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors and ryanodine receptors, although other calcium channels may participate [1]...
