Calcium
• [Ca2+]i very low ~50-100 nM
– Many calcium binding proteins = high
buffering capacity
• Divalent cation forms ionic bridges
– Glutamic acid
– Aspartic acid
• Contribute to protein folding
– Quaternary Binding
– Substrate recognition
Sources of calcium
• Intracellular
– Endoplasmic (sarcoplasmic) reticulum
– IP3 receptor
– Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca ATPase (SERCA)
• Extracellular
– V-gated Ca channels
– Ligand gated channels
– Store operated calcium entry
• Mitochondria
– Mitochondrial calcium uniporter
SERCA
• ATP-driven calcium pump
• E1-E2 model, P-type pumps

• Gel (gelsolin)-calcium dependent actin binding
Calcium effectors
• Calpain
– Calcium dependent protease

• Troponin
– Calcium dependent inhibitor of motility
• Calmodulin
– Calcium dependent cofactor
• Synaptotagmin
– Calcium dependent vesicle fusion

Decoding calcium signaling
• Competitive processes
• Kinetics
– kon
– Koff
• Affinity
– kd = koff/kon
Calcineurin/Calmodulin Kinase
• Calcineurin (Cn)
– Ca/CaM dependent phosphatase
– Ca kd = 0.2 uM, koff 0.001/s
– High affinity, slow kinetics
• CaM Kinase II (CaMKII)
– Ca/CaM dependent kinase
– Ca kd = 1 uM, koff 0.3/s
– Low affinity, fast kinetics
• Small calcium signals activate Cn long time
• Large calcium spikes activate CaMKII briefly
Cn/CaMKII competition
• Equilibrium/Steady state
• Time course
Resting [Ca]
Cn/CaMKII in neural plasticity
• CaMKII modulates cell motility
– cdc42 phosphorylation
– Increases actin filament polymerization
• Dendrite remodeling
– Synaptic strength (hours-days)
• Axonal regrowth
– Repair mechanism
– Specific targeting
Long term potentiation/depression
• Glutamineric synapses have both AMPA and
NMDA receptors
– Long term potentiation: Tetanus increases subsequent
EPSPs
– Tetanic depolarization relieves Mg2+ block
– Calcium induced channel phosphorylation increases
conductance
– Long term potentiation
• Ca2+ influx via NMDA receptors
• Ca2+->PKA-|I1->PP1-|AMPA
Low frequency stimulation
Low Calcium
I1 activates PP1
Decreases AMPA
High frequency stimulation
High Calcium
I1 is inhibited
Reduces PP1
Activates CaMK
Increases AMPA current
Axonal outgrowth
• Growth cone
• Chemotaxis
• Re-establish lost synapse
Direction of initial growth
Unsynapsed axon grows toward a chemoattractant
Fast
CaMKII dependent guidance
• “Caged” Ca2+ NP-EDTA
• Impose periodic, localized Ca2+ spikes
• Guide growth cone development
– CaMKII dependent
Laser targeted Ca pulse
Axon grows toward a chemoattractant & is diverted by intracellular calcium release
Calcium dependent guidance
• Low calcium media converts attraction to
repulsion
Laser targeted Ca pulse
with low NP-EGTA
• Calcineurin dependent
• Tune caged Ca content to produce repulsion

CaMKII autophosphorylation
• CaM Kinase II (CaMKII)
– CaM dependent kinase
– CaM kd = 2 nM, koff 0.3/s
– High affinity, fast kinetics
• Phospho-CaMKII
– CaM independent kinase
– CaM kd = 0.1 pM, koff 10-6/s
– Insanely high affinity, very slow kinetics
• CaMKII autophosphorylation locks itself in an
active conformation
Rate decoding by CaMKII
• Activity dependent muscle phenotype
– “Slow” muscle
• High oxidative capacity
• Slow myosin kinetics
• Frequent activation
– “Fast” muscle
• Low oxidative capacity
• Fast myosin kinetics
• Infrequent activation
• Calcium dependent
Rate decoding
• Autophosphorylation is like integration
• Dephosphorylation is like a high pass filter
• eg: Deliver regular calcium pulses
– Measure Ca independent activity
– Elevated > 1 hr after exercise in muscle
CaMKII phenotypic control
• Acute modulation of contractility
– Calcium release & re-uptake
– Glucose transport
• Mitochondrial biogenesis
– Oxidative capacity
• Contractile protein expression
– Upregulation, increase content
– Isoform specification, phenotype control
Rate decoding: non-excitable cells
• Calcium dependent metabolites
• Hepatocytes
