Calcium Flow Pathways
2
Ca+2 ION • Calcium ions are the principal intracellular
signaling ions (Release of stored Ca+2)
• Regulate excitation–contraction coupling secretion
• Activity of many enzymes
• Excitatory Neurotransmitter
• Ion channels, Hormone
• Transporters such as the sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX), also play important roles in [Ca2+] regulation. 3
Types of Muscle TissueSkeletal
•Attach to and move skeleton•40% of body weight•Fibers = multinucleate cells (embryonic cells fuse)•Cells with obvious striations•Contractions are voluntary
Cardiac: only in the wall of the heart
•Cells are striated•Contractions are involuntary (not voluntary)
Smooth: walls of hollow organs•Lack striations•Contractions are involuntary (not voluntary) 4
5
Similarities…• Their cells are called fibers because
they are elongated
• Contraction depends on myofilaments
–Actin
–Myosin
• Plasma membrane is called sarcolemma
–Sarcos = flesh
–Lemma = sheath 6
[Ca2+]i Three Best Studied Roles:
1. Contraction of Muscle 2. Secretion 3. Gating
7
The Ion… Ca2+
8
• The calcium that enters the cell during action potentials must be removed from the cell otherwise an accumulation of calcium would lead to cellular dysfunction.
• Calcium is removed from cells by two basic mechanisms.
• 1. An ATP-dependent Ca++ pump that actively removes calcium from the cell.
• 2. Sodium-calcium exchanger.
Sodium-Calcium Exchanger (NCX)
9
When the cell is depolarized and has a positive membrane potential, the exchanger works in the opposite direction (i.e., Na+ leaves and Ca++ enters the cell).

Drugs Acting on Calcium Channels
Calcium Channel Blockers
L-type Ca channel blocker
T-type Ca channel blocker•Verapamil
•Diltiazem
•Nifedipine
•Pimozid
•Mibefradil

Cardiac-Types of Ca+2 Channels: 2 types of Ca2+ channels:
– L- (low threshold type) – T-type (transient-type)
Transport Ca2+ into the cells
The L-type channel is found in all cardiac cell types and vascular smooth muscle.
The T-type channel is found: pacemaker, atrial, and Purkinje cells.

Excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling
•It is the process depolarization of the muscle fiber membrane, elicited by a nerve action potential, triggers the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).
•resulting rise in intracellular Ca2+
•concentration activates the troponin complex,
•initiating the contraction of the muscle. 16
Myofibrils
• Made of three types of filaments (or myofilaments):– Thick (myosin)– Thin (actin)– Elastic (titin)

Contraction
19
Myosins belong to a large superfamily
Motor proteins that move along actin
filaments, by hydrolyzing ATP.
There are 20 classes of myosin
Distinguished on the basis of the sequence of amino acids in their ATP-hydrolyzing motor domains.
20
Myosin II first studied for its role in muscle contraction, but it functions also in non-muscle cells.
Myosin II includes 2 heavy chains.The globular motor domain of each heavy
chain catalyzes ATP hydrolysis, and interacts with actin.

Special Functional Characteristics of Muscle
Contractility Only one action: to shorten Shortening generates pulling force
Excitability Nerve fibers cause electrical impulse to travel
Extensibility Stretch with contraction of an opposing muscle
Elasticity Recoils passively after being stretched
28
Sliding Filament Model
__relaxed sarcomere__ _partly contracted_
fully contractedSarcomere shortens because actin pulled towards its middle by myosin cross bridges
Titin resists overstretching29
CALCIUM CHANNEL• Calcium is stored in the sarcoplasmic
reticulum• When the impulse is initiated the T tubules
release free Ca++• This free Ca++ reacts with the troponin to
increase the number of cross bridges (actin + myocin)
• Just as increasing the number of persons pulling on a rope in a “tug of war” will increase the tension or the pull on the rope
• This increase in the number of active cross bridges will increase the strength of the cardiac contraction

Structure of Ca+2 Channel• A combination of 5 subunits, α1, α2, β, γ, and δ, unite to form
the channel in its native state. • The β subunit increases channel expression ≈10-fold
and accelerates the activation and inactivation kinetics.
• The α1c subunit, Cav1.2, is the cardiac-specific subunit
34
Ca+2 Channel α1c subunit• 4 homologous domains
• Each domain consists 6 membrane-spanning segments.
• The P-loop of each domain contributes a glutamate residue (E) to the pore structure. pore loop contributes to selectivity
• These residues (EEEE) are critical for calcium selectivity;

Structure/Function
• Positively charged lysine and arginine residues in the S4 transmembrane segment thought to form the voltage sensor
• The carboxyl terminus has multiple Ca2+ binding sites and Ca-calmodulin–dependent kinase activity.
38
Two Primary Proteins• Involved in the initial events of E-
C coupling: –1. Dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR)
–2. Ryanodine receptor (RYR),
• are both Ca2+ channels.
• Skeletal and cardiac muscle have
• different isoforms of both the DHPR and RYR. 39
DHPR in Skeletal Muscle
• It is an L-type Ca 2+ channel,
• is composed of four subunits:
• α1S(190–212 kDa),
• α2–
• β(52–58 kDa),
• γ (25 kDa).
• δ(125 kDa), 40
DHPR in heart • The cardiac DHPR has three known
subunits:
• α1C (240 kDa)
• α2–δ(125 kDa)
• β(62 kDa).
• The γ-subunit has not yet been identified as a subunit of the cardiac channel.
41
α1-Subunit of the DHPR
• α1-subunit of the DHPR forms the channel pore
• and contains the binding sites for channel-specific drugs
42
Excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling:
•Depolarization of the muscle fiber membrane by a nerve action potential,
•triggers the release of Ca2 from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
•resulting rise in intracellular Ca2+
•concentration activates the troponin complex
•initiating the contraction of the muscle. 43
Cardiac Muscle (CIC)
• In cardiac muscle the mechanism
• of E-C coupling involve Ca2+ induced Ca2+release(CICR).
• The cardiac DHPR serves as a functional voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel allowing entry of extracellular Ca2+which raises the local intracellular Ca2+concentration
44
Calcium Induced Calcium Release (CICR)
1. Ca++ enters the cell through L-type calcium channels
2. Ca++ stimulates Ca++ release from the SR via RyR
3. Ca++ interacts with contractile proteins to initiate shortening of the myocyte
Intracellular [Ca] 10-7 to 10-5 M

45
Cardiac Muscle (CIC)
• Release of Ca2+ from the SR is controlled by the Ca2+ release
channel or RYR.
• The RYR1 and RYR2 are homotetramers
• with a subunit molecular mass of ~565 kDa, and they share 66% sequence identity and ~80% overall homology 46
• Approximately 4/5 of the RYRs are predicted to be cytoplasmic, with
• only 1/5 of the molecule at the carboxy terminus forming the
• luminal and membrane-spanning domains

70
Cardiac Muscle (CIC)
• In cardiac muscle the mechanism
of E-C coupling involve Ca2+ induced Ca2+ release(CICR).
• The cardiac DHPR serves as a functional voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel allowing entry of extracellular Ca2+which raises the local intracellular Ca2+concentration.
71
Proteins Bound to DHPR or RYR
• In addition to (mechanical gating or CICR),
• Ca2+ release is likely to be modulated by other proteins bound to the DHPR or to RYR.
• One of these protein is Calmodulin
72
Mutation
Timothy syndrome is a multi-system disease e.g. cognitive abnormalities, immune deficiency, hypoglycemia, as the result of mutations of CaV1.2.
73
The mutation of glycine to arginine: converts a neighboring serine to a consensus site for phosphorylation by calmodulin kinase.
The phosphorylation of this site promotes a slow gating mode of the calcium channel, increasing Ca2+ entry and resulting in cytotoxicity.
74
Class IV drugs
• The Ca2+ channel is the target for the interaction with class IV antiarrhythmic drugs.

Na+ Channel Modulation
• Phosphorylation • sodium channel function is modulated by serine/threonine
and tyrosine kinases as well as tyrosine phosphatases (Yu et al, Science 1997)
• Mutation – altered amino acid sequence/structure can change the biophysical properties of the Na+ channel
• Pharmacology – block Na+ channel to reduce the conductance
• Proteolysis- (cleavage) Proteases may cleave specific residues or sequences that inactivate a channel, or significantly alter the biophysical properties
99
Why Na+ Channels/Modulation Are Important
• Neuronal depolarization, Action Potential• Neuronal Excitability• Cardiac Excitability• Muscle Excitability• The basis of neuronal/cardiac/muscular function
relies on the propagation of action potentials, down axons, sarcolemma, myocardium, as well as requiring synaptic transmission.
• Differential excitability alters the electrical conduction/transmission properties of the “circuit”
100
Na + Channel Blockers/Pharmacological Agents
• Tetrodotoxin (TTX)
• Amioderone (Antiarrhythmic)
• Lidocaine (Anesthetic agents)
• Procainamide (Anesthetic agents)
• Mexilitine (Antiarrhythmic)
• Ketamine (General Anesthetic agents)
• Many, many others101
Some Na+ Channels Outside The Nervous System
• Naf – “Funny Current” in pacemaker cells of the heart (SA node/ectopic pacemakers)
• SA node –Beta 1 receptor
(sympathetic receptor)
• Nav in the myocardium, sarcolemma, and T-tubules and motor endplate
102
Na+ Channel Activation
• Change in transmembrane potential results in a conformation change in the Na+ channel
• The four S4 segment alpha helices translocate, thus leading to the opening of the channel pore
• The energy of the conformational change in the channel during activation is mediated by the reduction in overall entropy of the system.
• The voltage sensor is a highly charged sequence of amino acids that “aligns” itself according to the electrical field present
• A change in transmembrane potential creates unfavorable electrodynamic interaction for the voltage sensor, hence a conformational shift lowers the energy of the system and creates more favorable conditions
103
Patch Clamping/Transfection
Transfection 1. Kv1.3 cDNA in Plasmid2. Lipofectamine complexing3. Add to Dishes4. Patch 28-48 hrs after
104
Transition: A General Overview of Articles Before Discussion
• From Basic structure/function relationships to a gating mechanism
• The gating of a bacterial Na+ channel and application of Na+ channel activation and biophysical properties
• Article 1 – A gating hinge in Na+ channels: a molecular switch for electrical signaling
105
Proposed conformational shift of A-helix caused by substitution of Proline for G219Prolines in alpha helices after the first turn (4th residue) cause a kink in the helix.This kink is caused by proline being unable to complete the H-bonding chain of the helix and steric or rotamer effects that keep proline from adapting the prefered helical geometry
Conserved glycineIn the S6 domain
106
Na+ Channel Gating
• Current theory holds that a change in transmembrane potential “flips” the conformation of the voltage sensor, thereby opening the channel pore
• A mutation, G219P, glycine 219 changed to proline alters the conformation of the S6 domain
• The mutant channel now favors a state much like the “open” state of a wild-type channel
• NOTE: these bacterial Na+ channels are homotetramers of identical subunits
107
Regulation and Modulation in Na Channels
• Phosphorylation effects• Mutations in ball-and-
chain affect inactivation speed
• Cleavage of any part of Na channel protein
• Drugs can be used as modulators
• NO modulates Na currents (Ribeiro et al., 2007)– NO donors reduce
peak Na current
• ENaC modulated by accessory proteins (Gormley et al., 2003)
108
• Pharmacology – block Na+ channel to reduce the conductance
• Proteolysis- (cleavage) Proteases may cleave specific residues or sequences that inactivate a channel, or significantly alter the biophysical properties
Na+ Channel Modulation
109
Na+ Channel Modulation• Phosphorylation • sodium channel function is modulated
by serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases as well as tyrosine phosphatases (Yu et al, Science 1997)
• Mutation – altered amino acid sequence/structure can change the biophysical properties of the Na+ channel
110
Sodium Channels - Function
• Play a central role in the transmission of action potentials along a nerve
• Can be in different functional states (3) -A resting state when it can respond to a
depolarizing voltage changes -Activated, when it allows flow of Na+ ions through the -Inactivated, when subjected to a “suprathreshold” potential, the channel will not open (hyperpolarization)
111
Pharmacology (i.e. drugs of choice)
• Saxitoxin (STX), from red tide, used to count Na channels (Ritchie et al. 1976)
• Tetrodotoxin (TTX), from fugu puffer fish, local anesthetics also block Na channel flux– Local anesthetic: #
channels open at once Saxitoxin
www.chemfinder.com112
• Single linked protein makes up ion channel– P-loop reflects speed
of inactivation , subunits modify
channel function but are not essential to create the pore
• Ligand-gated channels do not have voltage sensor, but ligand binding site
• Voltage gated channels have voltage sensor on S4 in each domain– Speculation: domain
sensors have special functions (Kuhn and Greef, 1999)
113
• Drugs bind to receptors– Can be used to count receptors, block channels
(ex: identify which current is responsible for some spiking)
• Na channel is not perfectly selective– Also permeable to K+ ions, though much less
than Na+ (Chandler and Meves, 1965)– Therefore, drug application may not necessarily
block one ion completely• Drug responses are variable
– Cardiac cells respond less to TTX than skeletal muscle cells (Ritchie and Rogart, 1977; Cohen et al., 1981)
