Calmodulin mediates calcium-dependent activation of the intermediate conductance KCa channel, IKCa1.
Small and intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels play a crucial role in hyperpolarizing the membrane potential of excitable and nonexcitable cells. These channels are exquisitely sensitive to cytoplasmic Ca2+, yet their protein-coding regions do not contain consensus Ca2+-binding motifs. We investigated the involvement of an accessory protein in the Ca2+-dependent gating of hIKCa1,...
متن کاملActivation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II following bovine rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 expression
Objective(s): The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is responsible for the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration through a phospholipase C-dependent and phospholipase C-independent pathways in infected cells. It is shown that increasing of intracellular calcium concentration in rotavirus infected cells is associated with the activation of some members of protein kinases family su...
متن کاملCalcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II mediates the phosphorylation and activation of NADPH oxidase 5.
Excessive synthesis of reactive oxygen species contributes to the pathology of many human diseases and originates from changes in the expression and posttranslational regulation of the transmembrane NADPH oxidases (Noxes). Nox5 is a novel Nox isoform whose activity is regulated by intracellular calcium levels. We have reported that the activity and calcium-sensitivity of Nox5 can also be modula...
متن کاملActivation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in obesity mediates suppression of hepatic insulin signaling.
A hallmark of obesity is selective suppression of hepatic insulin signaling ("insulin resistance"), but critical gaps remain in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms. We now report a major role for hepatic CaMKII, a calcium-responsive kinase that is activated in obesity. Genetic targeting of hepatic CaMKII, its downstream mediator p38, or the p38 substrate and stabilizer MK2 enhances in...
