Organization and Ca2+ Regulation of Adenylyl Cyclases in cAMP Microdomains
TLDR
The regulation of many of the ACs by the ubiquitous second messenger Ca(2+) provides an overarching mechanism for integrating the activities of these two major signaling systems, and cAMP will exhibit distinct kinetics in discrete cellular domains.Abstract:
The adenylyl cyclases are variously regulated by G protein subunits, a number of serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinases, and Ca2+. In some physiological situations, this regulation can be re...read more

A Coupled SYSTEM of Intracellular Ca2+ Clocks and Surface Membrane Voltage Clocks Controls the Timekeeping Mechanism of the Heart’s Pacemaker
TL;DR: Evidence is examined that forms the basis of this coupled-clock system concept in cardiac SANCs, where G protein-coupled receptors signaling creates pacemaker flexibility, ie, effects changes in the rhythmic action potential firing rate, by impacting on these very same factors that regulate robust basal coupled- clock system function.

TL;DR: The role of Caveolae/caveolin in cardiac and pulmonary pathophysiology, pharmacologic implications of caveolar localization of signaling molecules, and the possibility that caveolae might serve as a therapeutic target are reviewed.

TL;DR: Genes for these important regulatory enzymes are linked to schizophrenia, stroke and asthma, thus indicating the therapeutic potential that selective inhibitors could have as anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant and cognitive enhancer agents.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that electrical activity can stimulate Ca2+-dependent functions in excitable non-neuronal cells and provide an explanation for basal secretory activity.

Calcium-Calmodulin Modulation of the Olfactory Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Cation Channel
TL;DR: Study of the olfactory cyclic nucleotide-activated cation channel, which is modulated by calcium-calmodulin, indicates that calcium-Calmodulin directly binds to a specific domain on the amino terminus of the channel, revealing a control mechanism that resembles those underlying the regulation of enzymes by calmodulin.

Structurally distinct and stage-specific adenylyl cyclase genes play different roles in Dictyostelium development.
TL;DR: Constitutive expression in aca- cells of either ACA or ACG, which is normally expressed only during germination, restores aggregation and the ability to complete the developmental program, demonstrating that cAMP is required for cell-cell communication.

TL;DR: It is shown that a Ca(2+)‐sensitive photoprotein, aequorin, can be addressed to defined subcellular compartments by adding the appropriate targeting sequences and that, after emptying the ER, Ca2+ is rapidly re‐accumulated up to concentrations of > 100 microM, thus consuming most of the reporter photop protein.
