Plasma membrane Ca(+2)-ATPase (PMCA), encoded by four separate genes, constitutes a high affinity system extruding Ca(+2) outside the cell. The nerve growth factor-treated PC12 cell line possesses all four main PMCA isoforms. To evaluate the potential role of PMCA isoforms in the differentiation process, we transiently suppressed the expression of PMCA2 and 3 using the antisense oligonucleotides. In the transfected PC12 cells, we observed morphological changes, slowed neurite extension and diminished survival of the cells. The apparent transport activity and affinity of the calcium pump to Ca(+2) were lower in the cells with suppressed PMCA2 and 3 isoforms than in the control cells. Moreover, in the transfected PC12 plasma membranes, the calcium pump was insensitive to stimulation by calmodulin. These findings suggest that PMCA2 and 3 isoforms may be involved in developmental and differentiation processes.  相似文献

The four basic isoforms of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump and the two C-terminally truncated spliced variants PMCA4CII(4a) and 3CII(3a) were transiently overexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells together with aequorin targeted to the cytosol, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the mitochondria. As PMCA3CII(3a) had not yet been cloned and studied, it was cloned for this study, partially purified, and characterized. At variance with the corresponding truncated variant of PMCA4, which had been studied previously, PMCA3CII(3a) had very high calmodulin affinity. All four basic pump variants influenced the homeostasis of Ca2+ in the native intracellular environment. The level of [Ca2+] in the endoplasmic reticulum and the height of the [Ca2+] transients generated in the cytosol and in the mitochondria by the emptying of the endoplasmic reticulum store by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were all reduced by the overexpression of the pumps. The effects were much greater with the neuron-specific PMCA2 and PMCA3 than with the ubiquitously expressed isoforms 1 and 4. Unexpectedly, the truncated PMCA3 and PMCA4 were as effective as the full-length variants in influencing the homeostasis of Ca2+ in the cytosol and the organelles. In particular, PMCA4CII(4a) was as effective as PMCA4CI(4b), even if its affinity for calmodulin is much lower. The results indicate that the availability of calmodulin may not be critical for the modulation of PMCA pumps in vivo.  相似文献

P-type Ca2+-ATPases of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (SERCAs) and plasma membrane (PMCAs) are responsible for maintaining the Ca2+ gradients across cellular membranes that are required for regulation of Ca2+-mediated signaling and other biological processes. Gene-targeting studies of SERCA isoforms 1, 2, and 3 and PMCA isoforms 1, 2, and 4 have confirmed some of the general functions proposed for these pumps, such as a major role in excitation-contraction coupling for SERCA1 and SERCA2 and housekeeping functions for PMCA1 and SERCA2, but have also revealed some unexpected phenotypes. These include squamous cell cancer and plasticity in the regulation of Ca2+-mediated exocytosis in SERCA2 heterozygous mutant mice, modulation of Ca2+ signaling in SERCA3-deficient mice, deafness and balance disorders in PMCA2 null mice, and male infertility in PMCA4 null mice. These unique phenotypes provide new information about the cellular functions of these pumps, the requirement of their activities for higher order physiological processes, and the pathophysiological consequences of pump dysfunction.  相似文献

Calcium pumps of plasma membrane and cell interior   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Calcium entering the cell from the outside or from intracellular organelles eventually must be returned to the extracellular milieu or to intracellular storage organelles. The two major systems capable of pumping Ca2+ against its large concentration gradient out of the cell or into the sarco/endoplasmatic reticulum are the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases (PMCAs) and the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPases (SERCAs), respectively. In mammals, multigene families code for these Ca2+ pumps and additional isoform subtypes are generated via alternative splicing. PMCA and SERCA isoforms show developmental-, tissue- and cell type-specific patterns of expression. Different PMCA and SERCA isoforms are characterized by different regulatory and kinetic properties that likely are optimized for the distinct functional tasks fulfilled by each pump in setting resting cytosolic or intra-organellar Ca2+ levels, and in shaping intracellular Ca2+ signals with spatial and temporal resolution. The loss or malfunction of specific Ca2+ pump isoforms is associated with defects such as deafness, ataxia or heart failure. Understanding the involvement of different Ca2+ pump isoforms in the pathogenesis of disease allows their identification as therapeutic targets for the development of selective strategies to prevent or combat the progression of these disorders.  相似文献

The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) is an important regulator of free intracellular calcium, with dynamic regulation in the rat mammary gland during lactation. Recent studies suggest that Ca2+ plays a role in cellular proliferation. To determine if PMCA expression is altered in tumorigenesis, we compared relative levels of PMCA1 mRNA. We found that the relative expression of PMCA1 mRNA is increased, by approximately 270% and 170%, in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines deprived of serum for 72 h, respectively, compared to the similarly treated MCF-10A human mammary gland epithelial cell line. Characterization of PMCA mRNA isoforms revealed that PMCA1b and PMCA4 mRNA are expressed in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3, ZR-75-1 and BT-483 breast cancer cell lines. We also detected PMCA2 mRNA expression in all the breast cancer cell lines examined. However, PMCA3 mRNA was only detected in BT-483 cells. Our results suggest that PMCA expression may be altered in breast cancer cell lines, suggesting altered Ca2+ regulation in these cell lines. Our results also indicate that breast cancer cell lines can express mRNAs for a variety PMCA isoforms.  相似文献

Plasma membrane calcium ATPases (PMCAs) actively extrude Ca(2+) from the cell and are essential components in maintaining intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. There are four PMCA isoforms (PMCA1-4), and alternative splicing of the PMCA genes creates a suite of calcium efflux pumps. The role of these different PMCA isoforms in the control of calcium-regulated cell death pathways and the significance of the expression of multiple isoforms of PMCA in the same cell type are not well understood. In these studies, we assessed the impact of PMCA1 and PMCA4 silencing on cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) signals and cell viability in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The PMCA1 isoform was the predominant regulator of global Ca(2+) signals in MDA-MB-231 cells. PMCA4 played only a minor role in the regulation of bulk cytosolic Ca(2+), which was more evident at higher Ca(2+) loads. Although PMCA1 or PMCA4 knockdown alone had no effect on MDA-MB-231 cell viability, silencing of these isoforms had distinct consequences on caspase-independent (ionomycin) and -dependent (ABT-263) cell death. PMCA1 knockdown augmented necrosis mediated by the Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin, whereas apoptosis mediated by the Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-263 was enhanced by PMCA4 silencing. PMCA4 silencing was also associated with an inhibition of NFκB nuclear translocation, and an NFκB inhibitor phenocopied the effects of PMCA4 silencing in promoting ABT-263-induced cell death. This study demonstrates distinct roles for PMCA1 and PMCA4 in the regulation of calcium signaling and cell death pathways despite the widespread distribution of these two isoforms. The targeting of some PMCA isoforms may enhance the effectiveness of therapies that act through the promotion of cell death pathways in cancer cells.  相似文献

There are four genes encoding isoforms of the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump (PMCA). PMCA variability is increased by the presence of two splicing sites. Functional differences between the variants of PMCA have been described, but little is known about the adaptive advantages of this great diversity of pumps. In this paper we studied how the different isoforms respond to a sudden increase in Ca(2+) concentration. We found that different PMCAs are activated by Ca(2+) at different rates, PMCA 3f and 2a being the fastest, and 4b the slowest. The rate of activation by Ca(2+) depends both on the rate of calmodulin binding and the magnitude of the activation by calmodulin. We found that 2a is located in heart and the stereocilia of inner ear hair cells, 3f in skeletal muscle and 4b was identified in Jurkat cells. Both cardiac and skeletal muscle, and stereocilia recover very rapidly after a cytoplasmic Ca(2+)peak, while in Jurkat cells the recovery takes up to a minute. In stereocilia, 2a is the only method for export of Ca(2+), making the analysis of them unusually straightforward. This indicates that these rates of PMCA activation by Ca(2+) are correlated with the speed of Ca(2+) concentration decay after a Ca2 spike in the cells in which these variants of PMCA are expressed. The results suggest that the type of PMCA expressed will correspond with the speed of Ca(2+) signals in the cell.  相似文献

The plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) is an ubiquitous enzyme that extrudes calcium from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space. Four PMCA genes through alternative splicing produce a large diversity of isoforms of this enzyme. We reported previously that the PMCA contained in AS-30D hepatocarcinoma cells showed significant differences in activity in comparison to normal and regenerating liver. In the present study we investigate if the difference in PMCA activity could be related to differential expression of mRNAs encoding different isoforms of PMCA. Using RT-PCR we found that variants 1b, 1x, and 4b are expressed in all liver samples. The hepatoma AS-30 and liver at 2 days of regeneration express low amounts of isoforms 2w, 4b and 4x, and do not express isoforms 4a, 4d and 4z. Fetal and neonatal liver do not express variants 4a and 4d, but they do express variants 4x and 4z. Immunoblot analysis showed a higher ratio ATPase/total protein in the hepatoma AS-30D in comparison to normal liver. Our results suggest that the Ca2+-ATPase kinetic pattern previously observed by us in the AS-30D cells, could be at least partially explained by changes in the mRNA expression of several of the PMCA isoforms expressed in the liver.  相似文献

When stimulated by glucose, the pancreatic beta-cell displays large oscillations of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). To control [Ca2+]i, the beta-cell must be equipped with potent mechanisms for Ca2+ extrusion. We studied the expression of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases (PMCA) in three insulin secreting preparations (a pure beta-cell preparation, RINm5F cells and pancreatic islet cells), using reverse-transcribed PCR, RNase protection assay and Western blotting. The four main isoforms, PMCA1, PMCA2, PMCA3 and PMCA4 were expressed in the three preparations. Six alternative splice mRNA variants, characterized at splice sites A, B and C were detected in the three preparations (rPMCA1xb, 2yb, 2wb, 3za, 3zc, 4xb), plus two additional variants in pancreatic islet cells (PMCA4za, 1xkb). The latter variant corresponded to a novel variant of rat PMCA1 gene lacking the exon coding for the 10th transmembrane segment, at splice site B. At the mRNA and protein level, five variants predominated (1xb, 2wb, 3za, 3zc, 4xb), whilst one additional isoform (4za), predominated at the protein level only. This provides the first evidence for the presence of PMCA2 and PMCA3 isoforms at the protein level in non-neuronal tissue. Hence, the pancreatic beta-cell is equipped with multiple PMCA isoforms with possible differential regulation, providing a full range of PMCAs for [Ca2+]i regulation.  相似文献

The inhibition by the regulatory domain and the interaction with calmodulin (CaM) vary among plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA) isoforms. To explore these differences, the kinetics of CaM effects on PMCA4a were investigated and compared with those of PMCA4b. The maximal apparent rate constant for CaM activation of PMCA4a was almost twice that for PMCA4b, whereas the rates of activation for both isoforms showed similar dependence on Ca2+. The inactivation of PMCA4a by CaM removal was also faster than for PMCA4b, and Ca2+ showed a much smaller effect (2- versus 30-fold modification). The rate constants of the individual steps that determine the overall rates were obtained from stopped-flow experiments in which binding of TA-CaM was observed by changes in its fluorescence. TA-CaM binds to two conformations of PMCA4a, an "open" conformation with high activity, and a "closed" one with lower activity. Compared with PMCA4b (Penheiter, A. R., Bajzer, Z., Filoteo, A. G., Thorogate, R., T?r?k, K., and Caride, A. J. (2003) Biochemistry 41, 12115-12124), the model for PMCA4a predicts less inhibition in the closed form and a much faster equilibrium between the open and closed forms. Based on the available kinetic parameters, we determined the constants to fit the shape of a Ca2+ signal in PMCA4b-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary cells. Using the constants for PMCA4a, and allowing small variations in parameters of other systems contributing to a Ca2+ signal, we then simulated the effect of PMCA4a on the shape of a Ca2+ signal in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The results reproduce the published data (Brini, M., Coletto, L., Pierobon, N., Kraev, N., Guerini, D., and Carafoli, E. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 24500-24508), and thereby demonstrate the importance of altered regulatory kinetics for the different functional properties of PMCA isoforms.  相似文献

The plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (PMCA) is a Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase that expels Ca2+ from cells to help them maintain low concentrations of cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). It contains five putative extracellular domains (PEDs). Earlier we had reported that binding to PED2 leads to PMCA inhibition. Mutagenesis of residues in transmembrane domain 6 leads to loss of PMCA activity. PED3 connects transmembrane domains 5 and 6. PED3 is only five amino acid residues long. By screening a phage display library, we obtained a peptide sequence that binds this target. After examining a number of peptides related to this original sequence, we selected one that inhibits the PMCA pump (caloxin 3A1). Caloxin 3A1 inhibits PMCA but not the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-pump. Caloxin 3A1 did not inhibit formation of the 140 kDa acylphosphate intermediate from ATP or its degradation. Thus, PEDs play a role in the reaction cycle of PMCA even though sites for binding to the substrates Ca2+ and Mg-ATP2-, and the activator calmodulin are all in the cytosolic domains of PMCA. In endothelial cells exposed to low concentration of a Ca2+-ionophore, caloxin 3A1 caused a further increase in [Ca2+]i proving its ability to inhibit PMCA pump extracellularly. Thus, even though PED3 is the shortest PED, it plays key role in the PMCA function.  相似文献

The means by which calcium is transported into the milk produced by mammary glands is a poorly understood process. One hypothesis is that it occurs during exocytosis of secretory products via the Golgi pathway, consistent with the observation that the SPCA1 Ca2+-ATPase, which is expressed in the Golgi, is induced in lactating mammary tissue. However, massive up-regulation of the PMCA2bw plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase also occurs during lactation and is more strongly correlated with increases in milk calcium, suggesting that calcium may be secreted directly via this pump. To examine the physiological role of PMCA2bw in lactation we compared lactating PMCA2-null mice to heterozygous and wild-type mice. Relative expression levels of individual milk proteins were unaffected by genotype. However, milk from PMCA2-null mice had 60% less calcium than milk from heterozygous and wild-type mice, the total milk protein concentration was lower, and an indirect measure of milk production (litter weights) suggested that the PMCA2-null mice produce significantly less milk. In contrast, lactose was higher in milk from PMCA2-null mice during early lactation, but by day 12 of lactation there were no differences in milk lactose between the three genotypes. These data demonstrate that the activity of PMCA2bw is required for secretion of much of the calcium in milk. This major secretory function represents a novel biological role for the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases, which are generally regarded as premier regulators of intracellular Ca2+.  相似文献

The plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) plays an essential role in maintaining low cytosolic Ca(2+) in resting platelets. During platelet activation PMCA is phosphorylated transiently on tyrosine residues resulting in inhibition of the pump that enhances elevation of Ca(2+). Tyrosine phosphorylation of many proteins during platelet activation results in their association with the cytoskeleton. Consequently, in the present study we asked if PMCA interacts with the platelet cytoskeleton. We observed that very little PMCA is associated with the cytoskeleton in resting platelets but that approximately 80% of total PMCA (PMCA1b + PMCA4b) is redistributed to the cytoskeleton upon activation with thrombin. Tyrosine phosphorylation of PMCA during activation was not associated with the redistribution because tyrosine-phosphorylated PMCA was not translocated specifically to the cytoskeleton. Because PMCA b-splice isoforms have C-terminal PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 homology domain (PDZ)-binding domains, a C-terminal peptide was used to disrupt potential PDZ domain interactions. Activation of saponin-permeabilized platelets in the presence of the peptide led to a significant decrease of PMCA in the cytoskeleton. PMCA associated with the cytoskeleton retained Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. These results suggest that during activation active PMCA is recruited to the cytoskeleton by interaction with PDZ domains and that this association provides a microenvironment with a reduced Ca(2+) concentration.  相似文献

This work is aimed at identifying the presence and cellular distribution pattern of plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA) isoforms in normal rat pancreatic islet. Microsomal fractions of isolated islets and exocrine tissue were analyzed to detect different PMCA isoforms. The cellular distribution pattern of these PMCAs in the islets was also studied in fixed pancreas sections incubated with antibodies against PMCAs and insulin. Antibody 5F10, which reacts with all PMCA variants, showed multiple bands in the blots in the 127-134 kDa region, indicating the presence of several isoforms. Microsomes also reacted positively with specific antibodies for individual PMCA isoforms, generating a band of the expected size. Antibody 5F10 immunocytochemically labeled the plasma cell membrane of both b- and non-b-cells, but predominantly the former. All islet cells were also labeled with antibodies against isoforms 1 and 4, while the antibody reacting with isoform 3 labeled exclusively b-cells. A few b- and non-b-cells were positively labeled with the antibody reacting with PMCA b variant. Negative results were obtained with the antibody against isoform 2. Further studies, together with previous reports on the modulatory effect of insulin secretagogues and blockers upon PMCA activity, may provide evidence of the importance of this particular PMCA expression for islet function under normal and pathological conditions.  相似文献

The differentiation of colon cancer cell lines is associated with changes in calcium homeostasis. Concomitantly there are changes in the expression of some calcium transporters and G-protein-coupled receptors, which are capable of altering cytosolic-free calcium levels. Recent studies associate alterations in calcium transporter expression with tumourigenesis, such as changes in specific isoforms of the plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) in breast cancer cell lines. In this study, we examined the expression of PMCA isoforms in the HT-29 colon cancer cell line using two methods of differentiation (sodium butyrate-mediated and spontaneous post-confluency induced differentiation). Our studies show that differentiation of HT-29 colon cancer cells is associated with the up-regulation of the PMCA isoform PMCA4 but no significant alteration in PMCA1. These results suggest that PMCA4 may be important and have a specific role in colon cells as well as being significant in colon cancer tumourigenesis.  相似文献

The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase isoform 1(PMCA1) is ubiquitously distributed in tissues and cells, but only scarce information is available on its properties. The isoform was overexpressed in Sf9 cells, purified on calmodulin columns, and characterized functionally. The level of expression was very low, but sufficient amounts of the protein could be isolated for biochemical characterization. The affinity of PMCA1 for calmodulin was similar to that of PMCA4, the other ubiquitous PMCA isoform. The affinity of PMCA1 for ATP, evaluated by the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate, was higher than that of the PMCA4 pump. The recombinant PMCA1 pump was a much better substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase than the PMCA2 and PMCA4 isoforms. Pulse and chase experiments on Sf9 cells overexpressing the PMCA pumps showed that PMCA1 was much less stable than the PMCA4 and PMCA2 isoforms, i.e. PMCA1 had a much higher sensitivity to degradation by calpain. The effect of calpain was not the result of a general higher susceptibility of the PMCA1 to proteolytic degradation, because the pattern of degradation by trypsin was the same in the three isoforms.  相似文献
