Ca(2+) influx through the osteoclastic plasma membrane ryanodine receptor.
We predict that the type 2 ryanodine receptor isoform (RyR-2) located in the osteoclastic membrane functions as a Ca(2+) influx channel and as a divalent cation (Ca(2+)) sensor. Cytosolic Ca(2+) measurements revealed Ca(2+) influx in osteoclasts at depolarized membrane potentials. The cytosolic Ca(2+) change was, as expected, not seen in Ca(2+)-free medium and was blocked by the RyR modulator r...
متن کاملGenome-wide RNAi screen of Ca(2+) influx identifies genes that regulate Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) channel activity.
Recent studies by our group and others demonstrated a required and conserved role of Stim in store-operated Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel activity. By using an unbiased genome-wide RNA interference screen in Drosophila S2 cells, we now identify 75 hits that strongly inhibited Ca(2+) influx upon store emptying by thapsigargin. Among these hits are 11 predicted ...
متن کاملCa(2+) influx through Ca(2+) channels in rabbit ventricular myocytes during action potential clamp: influence of temperature.
Ca(2+) influx via Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) during the action potential (AP) was determined at 25 degrees C and 35 degrees C in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes using AP clamp. Contaminating currents through Na(+) and K(+) channels were eliminated by using Na(+)- and K(+)-free solutions, respectively. DIDS (0.2 mmol/L) was used to block Ca(2+)-activated chloride current (I(Cl(Ca))). When the s...
متن کاملCa(2+)-activated K+ channels in human leukemic T cells
Using the patch-clamp technique, we have identified two types of Ca(2+)-activated K+ (K(Ca)) channels in the human leukemic T cell line. Jurkat. Substances that elevate the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), such as ionomycin or the mitogenic lectin phytohemagglutinin (PHA), as well as whole-cell dialysis with pipette solutions containing elevated [Ca2+]i, activate a voltage-independen...
متن کاملRole of phospholamban in the modulation of arterial Ca(2+) sparks and Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels by cAMP.
Phospholamban (PLB) inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase, and this inhibition is relieved by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation. The role of PLB in regulating Ca(2+) release through ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) release channels, measured as Ca(2+) sparks, was examined using smooth muscle cells of cerebral arteries from PLB-deficient ("knockout") mice (P...
