Membrane associated Ca2+ buffers in the heart.
Ca2+ is a universal signalling molecule that affects a variety of cellular processes including cardiac development. The majority of intracellular Ca2+ is stored in the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle and non-muscle cells. Calreticulin is a well studied Ca2+-buffering protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, and calreticulin deficiency is embryonic lethal due to impaired cardiac de...
متن کاملThe effects of Ca2+ buffers on cytosolic Ca2+ signalling
Ca2+ is one of the most important and universal intracellular signalling agents, controlling a multitude of vitally important cellular processes (Petersen & Verkhratsky 2016). The regulating cytosolic Ca2+ signals vary enormously with regard to timing, localization and spatial extent, depending on the specific cell type and the function to be controlled (Petersen & Verkhratsky, 2016). Because o...
متن کاملDetection of changes in near-membrane Ca2+ concentration using a novel membrane-associated Ca2+ indicator.
A Ca2+ indicator has been synthesized and characterized which can be used to monitor rapid changes in the free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) immediately adjacent to cell membranes. This indicator, referred to as C18-Fura-2, consists of a Fura-2 molecule conjugated to a lipophilic alkyl chain which will insert into cell membranes. When associated with cell membranes in low concentrations, C18-Fura...
متن کاملObservable effects of Ca2+ buffers on local Ca2+ signals.
Calcium signals participate in a large variety of physiological processes. In many instances, they involve calcium entry through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors (IP(3)Rs), which are usually organized in clusters. Recent high-resolution optical experiments by Smith & Parker have provided new information on Ca(2+) release from clustered IP(3)Rs. In the present paper, we use the mod...
متن کاملInteraction of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump 4b/CI with the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent membrane-associated kinase CASK.
Spatial and temporal regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) is a key event in many signaling pathways. Plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases (PMCAs) are major regulators of Ca(2+) homeostasis and bind to PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1) domains via their C termini. Various membrane-associated guanylate kinase family members have been identified as interaction partners of PMCAs. In particular, SAP90/PSD95, PSD93/chap...
