    Calcium-dependent electrostatic control of anion access to the pore of the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A

    Andy KM Lam, Raimund Dutzler
    Ion conduction in the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A is directly regulated by calcium, which binds to a site close to the pore thereby shaping the electrostatics at its intracellular entrance.

    KChIP3 coupled to Ca2+ oscillations exerts a tonic brake on baseline mucin release in the colon

    Gerard Cantero-Recasens, Cristian M Butnaru ... Vivek Malhotra
    KChIP3 localisation by intracellular calcium oscillations controls mucin release from colonic goblet cells.

    Slo1 is the principal potassium channel of human spermatozoa

    Nadja Mannowetz, Natasha M Naidoo ... Polina V Lishko
    Potassium ions enter and leave human sperm cells via a calcium-dependent ion channel that is also pH-independent.

    Ca2+ entry through NaV channels generates submillisecond axonal Ca2+ signaling

    Naomi AK Hanemaaijer, Marko A Popovic ... Maarten HP Kole
    High-speed calcium imaging from the axon initial segment shows that sodium channels are in part permeable to calcium ions.

    Calcium signaling through a transient receptor channel is important for Toxoplasma gondii growth

    Karla Marie Márquez-Nogueras, Miryam Andrea Hortua Triana ... Silvia NJ Moreno
    A transient receptor channel in Toxoplasma gondii that conducts calcium represents the first molecular element that initiates upstream calcium signals that activate parasite pathogenic pathways.

    TRPM5-mediated calcium uptake regulates mucin secretion from human colon goblet cells

    Sandra Mitrovic, Cristina Nogueira ... Vivek Malhotra
    Goblet cells secrete mucins—which are key components of mucus—in a process that is regulated by calcium ions, which enter the goblet cells via a mechanism involving a channel protein called TRPM5.

    Cytosolic S100A8/A9 promotes Ca2+ supply at LFA-1 adhesion clusters during neutrophil recruitment

    Matteo Napoli, Roland Immler ... Monika Pruenster
    Cytosolic S100A8/A9 enhances Ca2+ availability at LFA-1 adhesion sites, facilitating neutrophil recruitment and extravasation by supporting proper integrin signaling and cytoskeletal rearrangement.

    NG2 glial cells integrate synaptic input in global and dendritic calcium signals

    Wenjing Sun, Elizabeth A Matthews ... Dirk Dietrich
    NG2 glial cells respond to synaptic input with calcium signals in the absence of action potentials and process synaptic depolarizations with somatic and dendritic voltage gated channels.

    Soluble amyloid-β precursor peptide does not regulate GABAB receptor activity

    Pascal Dominic Rem, Vita Sereikaite ... Bernhard Bettler
    Soluble amyloid-β precursor peptide has no functional effects at recombinant and native GABAB receptors.

    Toxoplasma bradyzoites exhibit physiological plasticity of calcium and energy stores controlling motility and egress

    Yong Fu, Kevin M Brown ... L David Sibley
    Live-cell imaging and biochemical studies reveal that bradyzoites exhibit reduced Ca2+ stores, dampened calcium responses, and reduced energy levels consistent with their quiescent sate, but that they rapidly respond to environmental conditions to emerge from dormancy.
