NAADP as an intracellular messenger regulating lysosomal calcium-release channels.
Recent studies into the mechanisms of action of the Ca(2+)-mobilizing messenger NAADP (nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate) have demonstrated that a novel family of intracellular Ca(2+)-release channels termed TPCs (two-pore channels) are components of the NAADP receptor. TPCs appear to be exclusively localized to the endolysosomal system. These findings confirm previous pharmacologic...
متن کاملN-terminus oligomerization is conserved in intracellular calcium release channels
Oligomerization of all three mammalian ryanodine receptor isoforms, a structural requirement for normal intracellular Ca2+ release channel function, is displayed by the discrete N-terminal domain which assembles into homo- and hetero-tetramers. This is demonstrated in yeast, mammalian cells and native tissue by complementary yeast two-hybrid, chemical cross-linking and co-immunoprecipitation as...
متن کاملMechanisms that turn-off intracellular calcium release channels.
Calcium release from intracellular stores is a common phenomenon in cells. Calcium release is mediated by two classes of Ca2+ release channels, the ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and the inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs). There are three types of RyR and three types of IP3Rs. Different cells have different complements of RyR and IP3Rs. In most cases, it is clear what turns-on these channels....
متن کاملIntracellular Zinc Modulates Cardiac Ryanodine Receptor-mediated Calcium Release*
Aberrant Zn(2+) homeostasis is a hallmark of certain cardiomyopathies associated with altered contractile force. In this study, we addressed whether Zn(2+) modulates cardiac ryanodine receptor gating and Ca(2+) dynamics in isolated cardiomyocytes. We reveal that Zn(2+) is a high affinity regulator of RyR2 displaying three modes of operation. Picomolar free Zn(2+) concentrations potentiate RyR2 ...
متن کاملCoupled gating between cardiac calcium release channels (ryanodine receptors).
Excitation-contraction coupling in heart muscle requires the activation of Ca(2+)-release channels/type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2s) by Ca(2+) influx. RyR2s are arranged on the sarcoplasmic reticular membrane in closely packed arrays such that their large cytoplasmic domains contact one another. We now show that multiple RyR2s can be isolated under conditions such that they remain physically c...
