RIM modulates CaV1.3 Ca2+ channels
Calcium channel β subunits (CaVβs) are essential cytoplasmic components of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) affecting their gating and targeting. CaVβs bind with high affinity to the cytoplasmic loop between transmembrane segments I and II of the α1 subunit (loop-I-II). To identify new proteins that modulate VGCCs by interaction with CaVβs we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen using CaVβ...
متن کاملTetraspanin-13 modulates voltage-gated CaV2.2 Ca2+ channels
Integration of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels in a network of protein-interactions is a crucial requirement for proper regulation of channel activity. In this study, we took advantage of the specific properties of the yeast split-ubiquitin system to search for and characterize so far unknown interaction partners of CaV2 Ca(2+) channels. We identified tetraspanin-13 (TSPAN-13) as an interaction p...
متن کاملRIM Binding Proteins (RBPs) Couple Rab3-Interacting Molecules (RIMs) to Voltage-Gated Ca2+ Channels
Ca(2+) influx through voltage-gated channels initiates the exocytotic fusion of synaptic vesicles to the plasma membrane. Here we show that RIM binding proteins (RBPs), which associate with Ca(2+) channels in hair cells, photoreceptors, and neurons, interact with alpha(1D) (L type) and alpha(1B) (N type) Ca(2+) channel subunits. RBPs contain three Src homology 3 domains that bind to proline-ric...
متن کاملHow Do RIM-BPs Link Voltage-Gated Ca2+ Channels to Evoked Neurotransmitter Release?
Coupling between voltage-gated Ca(2+) influx and synaptic vesicle exocytosis is essential for rapid evoked neurotransmission. Acuna et al. show that the knockout of RIM-BPs, which are key structural components of this coupling, decreases the reliability of evoked neurotransmitter release.
متن کاملBassoon Specifically Controls Presynaptic P/Q-type Ca2+ Channels via RIM-Binding Protein
Voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (CaVs) represent the principal source of Ca(2+) ions that trigger evoked neurotransmitter release from presynaptic boutons. Ca(2+) influx is mediated mainly via CaV2.1 (P/Q-type) and CaV2.2 (N-type) channels, which differ in their properties. Their relative contribution to synaptic transmission changes during development and tunes neurotransmission during synap...
