  • Molecular Regulation and Physiology of the H ,K -Atpases in Kidney
    Molecular Regulation and Physiology of the H؉,K؉-ATPases in Kidney Juan Codina and Thomas D. DuBose Jr Two H؉,K؉-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) proteins participate in K؉ absorption and ؉ ؉ ؉ H secretion in the renal medulla. Both the gastric (HK␣1) and colonic (HK␣2)H,K - ATPases have been localized and characterized by a number of techniques, and are known to be highly regulated in response to acid-base and electrolyte disturbances. Both ATPases are dimers of composition ␣/␤ that localize to the apical membrane and both interact with the tetraspanin protein CD63. Although CD63 interacts with the carboxy-terminus of the subunit of the colonic H؉,K؉-ATPase, it interacts with the ␤-subunit of the gastric-␣ H؉,K؉-ATPase. Pharmacologically, both ATPases are distinct; for example, the gastric H؉,K؉-ATPase is inhibited by Sch-28080, but the colonic H؉,K؉-ATPase is inhibited by .ouabain (a classic inhibitor of the Na؉-pump) and is completely insensitive to Sch-28080 The ␣-subunit of the colonic H؉,K؉-ATPase is the only subunit of the X؉,K؉-ATPase superfamily that has 3 different splice variants that emerge by deletion or elongation of the amino-terminus. The messenger RNA and protein of one of these splice variants (HK␣2C)is specifically up-regulated in newborn rats and becomes undetectable in adult rats. There- fore, HK␣2, in addition to its role in potassium and acid-base homeostasis, appears to play a significant role in early growth and development. Finally, because chronic hypokalemia appears to be the most potent stimulus for upregulation of HK␣2, we propose that the HK␣2 participates importantly in the maintenance of chronic metabolic alkalosis.

  • Targeting Oncogenic Notch Signaling with SERCA Inhibitors Luca Pagliaro, Matteo Marchesini and Giovanni Roti*
    Pagliaro et al. J Hematol Oncol (2021) 14:8 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-020-01015-9 REVIEW Open Access Targeting oncogenic Notch signaling with SERCA inhibitors Luca Pagliaro, Matteo Marchesini and Giovanni Roti* Abstract P-type ATPase inhibitors are among the most successful and widely prescribed therapeutics in modern pharmacol- ogy. Clinical transition has been safely achieved for H+/K+ ATPase inhibitors such as omeprazole and Na+/K+-ATPase 2 inhibitors like digoxin. However, this is more challenging for Ca +-ATPase modulators due to the physiological role of 2 2 Ca + in cardiac dynamics. Over the past two decades, sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca +-ATPase (SERCA) modula- 2 tors have been studied as potential chemotherapy agents because of their Ca +-mediated pan-cancer lethal efects. Instead, recent evidence suggests that SERCA inhibition suppresses oncogenic Notch1 signaling emerging as an alternative to γ-secretase modulators that showed limited clinical activity due to severe side efects. In this review, we focus on how SERCA inhibitors alter Notch1 signaling and show that Notch on-target-mediated antileukemia proper- 2 ties of these molecules can be achieved without causing overt Ca + cellular overload.

  • SERCA in Genesis of Arrhythmias: What We Already Know and What Is New?
    Review 43 SERCA in genesis of arrhythmias: what we already know and what is new? Nilüfer Erkasap Department of Physiology, Medical Faculty, Eskiflehir Osmangazi University, Eskiflehir, Turkey ABSTRACT This review mainly focuses on the structure, function of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium pump (SERCA) and its role in genesis of arrhythmias. SERCA is a membrane protein that belongs to the family of P-type ion translocating ATPases and pumps free cytosolic calcium into intracellular stores. Active transport of Ca2+ is achieved, according to the E1-E2 model, changing of SERCA structure by Ca2+. The affinity of Ca2+ -binding sites varies from high (E1) to low (E2). Three different SERCA genes were identified-SERCA1, SERCA2, and SERCA3. SERCA is mainly represented by the SERCA2a isoform in the heart. In heart muscle, during systole, depolarization triggers the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and starts contraction. During diastole, muscle relaxation occurs as Ca2+ is again removed from cytosol, predominantly by accumulation into SR via the action of SERCA2a. The main regulator of SERCA2a is phospholamban and another regulator proteolipid of SERCA is sarcolipin. There are a lot of studies on the effect of decreased and/or increased SERCA activity in genesis of arrhythmia. Actually both decrease and increase of SERCA activity in the heart result in some pathological mechanisms such as heart failure and arrhythmia. (Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2007: 7 Suppl 1; 43-6) Key words: sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum, SERCA, arrhythmia, calcium channels Introduction from cytosol, predominantly by accumulation into sarcoplasmic reticulum via the action of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Cardiac physiology is a major area of research in basic and Ca ATPase (SERCA).

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi: 10.1242/jcs.090126 Summary Calcium pumping into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen is thought to be coupled to a countertransport of protons through sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) and the members of the ClC family of chloride channels. However, pH in the ER lumen remains neutral, which suggests a mechanism responsible for proton re-entry. We studied whether cation–proton exchangers could act as routes for such a re-entry. ER Ca2+ uptake was measured in permeabilized immortalized hypothalamic neurons, primary rat cortical neurons and mouse cardiac fibers. Replacement of K+ in the uptake solution with Na+ or tetraethylammonium led to a strong inhibition of Ca2+ uptake in neurons and cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, inhibitors of the potassium–proton exchanger (quinine or propranolol) but not of the sodium–proton exchanger reduced ER Ca2+ uptake by 56–82%. Externally added nigericin, a potassium– + proton exchanger, attenuated the inhibitory effect of propranolol.

    Review Regulation of Membrane Calcium Transport Proteins by the Surrounding Lipid Environment Louise Conrard and Donatienne Tyteca * CELL Unit, de Duve Institute and Université catholique de Louvain, UCL B1.75.05, avenue Hippocrate, 75, B‐1200 Brussels, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +32‐2‐764.75.91; Fax: +32‐2‐764.75.43 Received: 8 August 2019; Accepted: 10 September 2019; Published: 20 September 2019 Abstract: Calcium ions (Ca2+) are major messengers in cell signaling, impacting nearly every aspect of cellular life. Those signals are generated within a wide spatial and temporal range through a large variety of Ca2+ channels, pumps, and exchangers. More and more evidences suggest that Ca2+ exchanges are regulated by their surrounding lipid environment. In this review, we point out the technical challenges that are currently being overcome and those that still need to be defeated to analyze the Ca2+ transport protein–lipid interactions. We then provide evidences for the modulation of Ca2+ transport proteins by lipids, including cholesterol, acidic phospholipids, sphingolipids, and their metabolites. We also integrate documented mechanisms involved in the regulation of Ca2+ transport proteins by the lipid environment. Those include: (i) Direct interaction inside the protein with non‐annular lipids; (ii) close interaction with the first shell of annular lipids; (iii) regulation of membrane biophysical properties (e.g., membrane lipid packing, thickness, and curvature) directly around the protein through annular lipids; and (iv) gathering and downstream signaling of several proteins inside lipid domains. We finally discuss recent reports supporting the related alteration of Ca2+ and lipids in different pathophysiological events and the possibility to target lipids in Ca2+‐ related diseases.
