Calcium Signalling: Calcium Goes Global
Recent evidence suggests that multiple calcium-releasing messengers might be activated simultaneously to regulate patterns of intracellular calcium signalling. In this way, agonists might use different messenger cocktails to encode specific signals and target selected processes.
متن کاملElementary and global aspects of calcium signalling.
Calcium is a ubiquitous second messenger used to regulate a wide range of cellular processes. This role in signalling has to be conducted against the rigid homeostatic mechanisms that ensure that the resting level of Ca2+ is kept low (i.e. between 20 and 100 nmol l-1) in order to avoid the cytotoxic effects of a prolonged elevation of [Ca2+]. Cells have evolved a sophisticated signalling system...
متن کاملCalcium goes nuclear
fine reticulum that pokes its fingers across the nucleus is capable of storing and releasing calcium, according to Wihelma Echevarría, Michael Nathanson (Yale University, New Haven, CT), and colleagues. The physiological activators of the compartment remain obscure, but they could potentially induce localized signaling in the nucleus. Intranuclear extensions of the ER have been described previo...
متن کاملCalcium signalling
Cellular signalling mechanisms are designed to transmit information from the cell surface membrane to specific targets within the cell. Often, the information is transmitted by means of intracellular messengers, of which the calcium ion, Ca2+, is one of the most important. Indeed, Ca2+ operates throughout the life history of a typical cell: it triggers new life at fertilisation, it controls man...
متن کاملCalcium signalling: Setting store by calcium channels
Recent work, stemming from genetic studies of phototransduction in Drosophila, has identified a set of homologous channel proteins that appear to mediate capacitative Ca2+ entry in species from worms and files to humans.
