Summary
The study reveals that calcium influx rapidly activates ADAM10 protease, influencing its shedding and release. Understanding calcium channel roles is crucial for therapeutic strategies targeting ADAM10 activity.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Cell Biology
- Molecular Medicine
Background:
- A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs) are transmembrane proteases involved in protein shedding.
- ADAM10, a key member, is implicated in diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, and infections.
- Regulation of ADAM10 by calcium and calmodulin is known, but spatiotemporal control and calcium sources remain unclear.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the spatiotemporal regulation of calcium-dependent ADAM10 activation.
- To identify the specific sources of calcium ions required for ADAM10 activation.
- To explore the relationship between ADAM10 activation, surface translocation, and release.
Main Methods:
- Stimulation of A549 lung carcinoma cells with ionomycin to induce calcium influx.
- Treatment with calmodulin inhibitors (trifluoperazine, ophiobolin A) to assess their effect on ADAM10 activation.
- Analysis of ADAM10 surface translocation and release in extracellular vesicles.
- Investigation of calcium entry through transient receptor potential (TRP) channels.
Main Results:
- Rapid, calcium-dependent activation of ADAM10 was observed upon ionomycin stimulation.
- Calmodulin inhibitors induced delayed ADAM10 activation, with trifluoperazine showing apparent independence from intracellular calcium.
- Surface translocation and extracellular vesicle release of ADAM10 occurred with different kinetics and were only partially linked to catalytic activation.
- ADAM10 activation was triggered by calcium entry via specific channels, including TRP channels.
Conclusions:
- The rapid activation of ADAM10 is critically dependent on calcium influx.
- The kinetics of ADAM10 translocation and shedding differ from its catalytic activation.
- Specific calcium channels and the temporal dynamics of intracellular calcium levels are key factors in ADAM10 regulation.
- Consideration of calcium channel activity and calcium flux dynamics is essential for developing therapies targeting ADAM10.

5.1K
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein in eukaryotes that controls various calcium-regulated cellular processes. It has four calcium-binding sites that bind calcium to form the calcium-calmodulin ( Ca2+-CaM) complex. GPCR stimulation increases the calcium levels in the cells that bind to CaM and induces a conformational change.
The Ca2+-CaM complex does not have enzymatic activity by itself. Instead, the complex binds downstream target proteins, including membrane proteins or enzymes,...

3.4K
Calcium is an essential signaling molecule required for various cellular functions. Calcium pumps and ion channels on cell and organellar membranes, such as those on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), regulate calcium concentrations inside the cell. They remain closed, keeping the cytosolic calcium levels low at a resting state.
Various transmembrane receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), elicit a response to extracellular signals by increasing cytosolic calcium. Activated GPCRs...

11.9K
Membrane lipids such as phosphatidylinositol (PI) are precursors for several membrane-bound and soluble second messengers. Specific kinases phosphorylate PI and produce phosphorylated inositol phospholipids. One such inositol phospholipids are the phosphatidylinositol-4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], present in the inner half of the lipid bilayer. Upon ligand binding, GPCR stimulates Gq proteins to turn on phospholipase Cꞵ. Activated phospholipase Cꞵ cleaves PI(4,5)P2 and...

01:09GPCRs Regulate Adenylyl Cylase Activity
5.3K
Some GPCRs transmit signals through adenylyl cyclase (AC), a transmembrane enzyme. AC helps synthesize second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). AC catalyzes cyclization reaction and converts ATP to cAMP by releasing a pyrophosphate. The pyrophosphate is further hydrolyzed to phosphate by the enzyme pyrophosphatase, which drives cAMP synthesis to completion. However, cAMP is rapidly degraded to 5′ AMP by the enzymes phosphodiesterase (PDE), preventing overstimulation of...

2.6K
The adherens junctions that anchor cells together are multi-protein complexes that dynamically adapt to mechanical stimuli such as tensile forces and shear stress. Mechanosensory proteins in these junctions can sense such mechanical stimuli and undergo a shift in their conformation, resulting in an altered function — a process called mechanotransduction.

2.6K
Integrins act both as extracellular input receivers and as intracellular processing activators. As their name suggests, integrins are entirely integrated into the membrane structure. Their hydrophobic membrane-spanning regions interact with the phospholipid bilayer's hydrophobic region. These membrane receptors provide extracellular attachment sites for effectors like hormones and growth factors. They activate intracellular response cascades when their effectors are bound and active.
