Controlling Calcium Entry
نویسنده
چکیده
Ca(2+) enters cells through an assortment of Ca(2+)-permeable channels that respond to different stimuli and couple to different cellular responses. Several different Ca(2+) entry pathways can be activated by receptors that stimulate phospholipase C (PLC). Both limbs of this signaling pathway (IP(3) and diacylglycerol), PLC itself, and its substrate (PIP(2)) contribute to the coordinate regulation of these Ca(2+) entry pathways.

Efficacy of Calcium Salts on Controlling Phytophthora pistaciae, the Cause of Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) Gummosis
Research in plant disease management focuses on developing safe methods for humans and the environment in order to prevent the entry of harmful chemicals in food. Simple inorganic salts have low cost and are safe enough to be used as pesticides. Phytophthora genus causes crown and root rot (gummosis) in crops and leads to great losses in some pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) produ...
متن کاملPrivileged crosstalk between TRPV1 channels and mitochondrial calcium shuttling machinery controls nociception.
The nociceptive noxious heat-activated receptor - TRPV1, conducts calcium and sodium, thus producing a depolarizing receptor potential, leading to activation of nociceptive neurons. TRPV1-mediated calcium and sodium influx is negatively modulated by calcium, via calcium-dependent desensitization of TRPV1 channels. A mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter - MCU, controls mitochondrial Ca2+ entry while a s...
متن کاملParadoxical role of large-conductance calcium-activated K+ (BK) channels in controlling action potential-driven Ca2+ entry in anterior pituitary cells.
Activation of high-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels normally limits action potential duration and the associated voltage-gated Ca(2+) entry by facilitating membrane repolarization. Here we report that BK channel activation in rat pituitary somatotrophs prolongs membrane depolarization, leading to the generation of plateau-bursting activity and facilitated Ca(2+) entry. Such a par...

متن کاملDeterminants of the Vascular Leak Site
Store-operated calcium (SOC) entry is sufficient to disrupt the extra-alveolar, but not the alveolar, endothelial cell barrier. Mechanism(s) underlying such insensitivity to transitions in cytosolic calcium ([Ca ]i in microvascular endothelial cells are unknown. Depletion of stored Ca activates a larger SOC entry response in extra-alveolar (pulmonary artery; PAECs) than alveolar (pulmonary micr...
