Abstract

Voltage-gated L-type CaV1.2 channels in cardiomyocytes exist as heteromeric complexes with the pore-forming CaVα1, CaVβ, and CaVα2δ1 subunits. The full complement of subunits is required to reconstitute the native-like properties of L-type Ca2+ currents, but the molecular determinants responsible for the formation of the heteromeric complex are still being studied. Enzymatic treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, a phospholipase C specific for the cleavage of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, disrupted plasma membrane localization of the cardiac CaVα2δ1 prompting us to investigate deletions of its hydrophobic transmembrane domain. Patch-clamp experiments indicated that the C-terminally cleaved CaVα2δ1 proteins up-regulate CaV1.2 channels. In contrast, deleting the residues before the single hydrophobic segment (CaVα2δ1 Δ1059-1063) impaired current up-regulation. CaVα2δ1 mutants G1060I and G1061I nearly eliminated the cell-surface fluorescence of CaVα2δ1, indicated by two-color flow cytometry assays and confocal imaging, and prevented CaVα2δ1-mediated increase in peak current density and modulation of the voltage-dependent gating of CaV1.2. These impacts were specific to substitutions w...Continue Reading

Caveolins & Signal Transduction

Caveolins are small proteins with a hairpin loop conformation that are located in the plasma membrane of various cell types where they bind cholesterol and interact with receptors essential for several signal transduction pathways. Here is the latest research.
