Resumen
Las células vegetales regulan activamente la concentración interna de iones de calcio ([Ca2+]i) a través de oscilaciones diurnas sincronizadas con el calcio extracelular ([Ca2+]o). Este proceso involucra al receptor CAS, IP3, y está influenciado por el calcio del suelo y la transpiración.
Área de la Ciencia:

Sus antecedentes:
- La concentración de iones de calcio citosólico ([Ca2+]i) es crucial para varias vías de señalización de las plantas.
- El [Ca2+]i en reposo en las plantas exhibe oscilaciones diurnas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para dilucidar los mecanismos que sincronizan las oscilaciones diurnas [Ca2+]i con el calcio extracelular ([Ca2+]o) en Arabidopsis thaliana.
- Identificar los reguladores clave de la homeostasis del calcio en las células vegetales.
Principales métodos:
- Se han investigado las oscilaciones de iones de calcio en Arabidopsis thaliana.
- Se analizó el papel del receptor sensible al calcio (CAS) en la regulación de [Ca2+]i.
- Examinó la influencia de la concentración de calcio en el suelo y las tasas de transpiración en las oscilaciones del calcio.
Principales resultados:
- Las oscilaciones [Ca2+]i se sincronizan con las oscilaciones [Ca2+]o a través del receptor CAS.
- El CAS regula los niveles de inositol 1,4,5-trisfosfato (IP3), controlando la liberación de Ca2+ de las reservas internas.
- Las amplitudes de oscilación están moduladas por el Ca2+ del suelo y la transpiración; la fase y el período están vinculados a la conductividad estomática.
Conclusiones:
- Las células vegetales regulan activa y dinámicamente las concentraciones internas de calcio.
- El receptor CAS juega un papel central en la mediación de la influencia del calcio externo en la dinámica interna del calcio.
- Las oscilaciones diurnas del calcio son un proceso coordinado influenciado por factores ambientales y la fisiología de las plantas.

02:45Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses
The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.
02:19Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent years,...

01:16Calmodulin-dependent Signaling
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,...

01:27Feedback Regulation of Calcium Concentration
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...

01:25Cell Signaling in Plants
Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...
