Regulation of Store-Operated Channels by Scaffold Proteins in A431 Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Store-operated channels are major calcium influx pathways in nonexitable cells. Homer scaffold proteins are well known for their role in regulating calcium signaling. Here we report on a detailed single-channel level characterization of native store-operated channels regulated by Homer scaffold proteins in A431 carcinoma cells. By applying the single-channel patch-clamp technique, we found that different types of store-operated calcium channels have different sensitivities to Homer proteins.

Suppression of TRPC3 leads to disappearance of store-operated channels and formation of a new type of store-independent channels in A431 cells.
In most non-excitable cells, calcium (Ca(2+)) release from the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) stores is coupled to Ca(2+) influx through the plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels whose molecular composition is poorly understood. Several members of mammalian TRP-related protein family have been implicated to both receptor- and store-operated Ca(2+) influx. Here w...
متن کاملThe Store-operated Calcium Entry Pathways in Human Carcinoma A431 Cells
Activation of phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated signaling pathways in nonexcitable cells causes the release of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ stores and activation of Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane. Two types of Ca2+ channels, highly Ca2+-selective ICRAC and moderately Ca2+-selective ISOC, support store-operated Ca2+ entry process. In previous patch-clamp experiments with a human carcinoma A...

Activation of phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated signaling pathways in non-excitable cells causes the release of calcium (Ca2+) from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores and activation of Ca2+ influx via plasma membrane Ca2+ channels. The properties and molecular identity of plasma membrane Ca2+ influx channels in non-excitable cells is a focus of intense investi...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor activates store-operated Ca2+ channels through an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent pathway in human glomerular mesangial cells.
One of the fastest cellular responses following activation of epidermal growth factor receptor is an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. This event is attributed to a transient Ca2+ release from internal stores and Ca2+ entry from extracellular compartment. Store-operated Ca2+ channels are defined the channels activated in response to store depletion. In the present study, we determin...
متن کاملCalcium Influx: Is Homer the Missing Link?
Cytosolic calcium signals occur in response to diverse stimuli and regulate a range of cellular processes [1]. In most non-excitable cells, increases in cytosolic calcium are brought about by its release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The principal release channels are inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors and ryanodine receptors, although other calcium channels may participate [1]...
