Source of nuclear calcium signals.
Transient increases of Ca2+ concentration in the nucleus regulate gene expression and other nuclear processes. We investigated whether nuclear Ca2+ signals could be regulated independently of the cytoplasm or were controlled by cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals. A fluorescent Ca2+ indicator that is targeted to the nucleus was synthesized by coupling a nuclear localization peptide to Calcium Green dextra...
متن کاملMitochondrial calcium uniporter Mcu controls excitotoxicity and is transcriptionally repressed by neuroprotective nuclear calcium signals
The recent identification of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter gene (Mcu/Ccdc109a) has enabled us to address its role, and that of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake, in neuronal excitotoxicity. Here we show that exogenously expressed Mcu is mitochondrially localized and increases mitochondrial Ca(2+) levels following NMDA receptor activation, leading to increased mitochondrial membrane depolarizatio...
متن کاملCalcium signals from outside
alcium just got a promotion. Findings by Caroppo et al. (page 111) reveal that in addition to its many roles inside the cell, Ca 2 ϩ has a distinct extracellular purpose: it acts via a Ca 2 ϩ receptor (CaR) to regulate the function of gastric epithelial cells. It has been known for some time that extracellular Ca 2 ϩ can be sensed by the CaR. The team noted that a Ca 2 ϩ gradient was generated ...
متن کاملUpdate on Nuclear Calcium Signaling Nuclear Calcium Signaling in Plants
An astonishing variety of plant and animal cellular functions are coordinated by intracellular calcium (Ca; Berridge et al., 2000; White and Broadley, 2003). Although Ca is a common second messenger, it is translated into specific developmental processes, implying specificity of recognition of individual Ca responses (Dolmetsch et al., 1997, 1998). Such specificity in Ca signaling is a function...
متن کاملCombination of Beamforming and Synchronization Methods for Epileptic Source Localization, using Simulated EEG Signals
Localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. In the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. The prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. To increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...
