Abstract
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels loaded with soybean peptide (SPE) were fabricated via a freeze-thaw method. These hydrogels conquer barriers in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), and then release SPE in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). The results of in vitro SPE release from these hydrogels showed that in SGF only a little of the SPE released, but in SIF the SPE was completely released. The released SPE had scavenging rates for DPPH and ABTS free radicals of 41.68 and 31.43 %. The pharmacokinetic model of SPE release from the hydrogels in SIF was studied. When the hydrogels are moved from SGF to SIF, the sorption of the shrinkage hydrogel network is entirely controlled by stress-induced relaxations. There are swollen and shrunken regions during SPE release. For SPE release into the SIF, SPE has to be freed from the weak bonds in the swollen regions by changes in the conformation of CMC and PVA. The release rate of SPE was found to be governed by the diffusion and swelling rate of the shrinkage hydrogel network. The Korsmeyer-Peppas equation diffusion exponents (n) for SPE release from the hydrogels are >2.063, indicating a super case II transport. These data demonstrate CMC/PVA hydrogels have potential applications in oral peptide delivery.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CASQ) was discovered in rabbit skeletal muscle tissues in 1971 and has been considered simply a passive Ca2+-buffering protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) that provides Ca2+ ions for various Ca2+ signals. For the past three decades, physiologists, biochemists, and structural biologists have examined the roles of the skeletal muscle type of CASQ (CASQ1) in skeletal muscle and revealed that CASQ1 has various important functions as (1) a major Ca2+-buffering protein to maintain the SR with a suitable amount of Ca2+ at each moment, (2) a dynamic Ca2+ sensor in the SR that regulates Ca2+ release from the SR to the cytosol, (3) a structural regulator for the proper formation of terminal cisternae, (4) a reverse-directional regulator of extracellular Ca2+ entries, and (5) a cause of human skeletal muscle diseases. This review is focused on understanding these functions of CASQ1 in the physiological or pathophysiological status of skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Using Fura-2AM microfluorimetry, we have shown for the first time that preincubation of macrophages with the calsequestrin inhibitor neuroleptic trifluoperazine leads to a significant inhibition of the store-dependent Ca2+ entry induced by endoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid in rat peritoneal macrophages. The results suggest calsequestrin involvement in the regulation of the store-dependent Ca2+ entry in macrophages.

Abstract
Interaction between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located stromal interaction molecue1 (STIM1) and the plasma membrane-located Ca2+ channel subunit, Orai1, underlies store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Calsequestrin1 (CSQ1), a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ buffering protein, inhibits SOCE, but the mechanism of action is unknown. We identified an interaction between CSQ1 and STIM1 in HEK293 cells. An increase in monomeric CSQ1 induced by depleted Ca2+ stores, or trifluoperazine (TFP), a blocker of CSQ folding and aggregation, enhanced the CSQ1-STIM1 interaction. In cells with Ca2+ stores depleted, TFP further increased CSQ1 monomerization and CSQ1-STIM1 interaction, but reduced the association of STIM1 with Orai1 and SOCE. Over-expression of CSQ1 or a C-terminal (amino acid 388–396) deletion mutant significantly promoted the association of CSQ1 with STIM1, but suppressed both STIM1-Orai1 interaction and SOCE, while over-expression of the C-terminal (amino acid 362–396) deletion mutant had no effect. The physical interaction between low polymeric forms of CSQ1 and STIM1 likely acts by interfering with STIM1 oligimerization and inhibits STIM1-Orai1 interaction, providing a brake to SOCE under physiological conditions. This novel regulatory mechanism for SOCE may also contribute to the pathological Ca2+ overload in calsequestrin deficient diseases, such as malignant hyperthermia and ventricular tachycardia.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CASQ) serves as a major Ca(2+) storage/buffer protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). When purified from skeletal muscle, CASQ1 is obtained in its glycosylated form. Here, we have confirmed the specific site and degree of glycosylation of native rabbit CASQ1 and have investigated its effect on critical properties of CASQ by comparison with the non-glycosylated recombinant form. Based on our comparative approach utilizing crystal structures, Ca(2+) binding capacities, analytical ultracentrifugation, and light-scattering profiles of the native and recombinant rabbit CASQ1, we propose a novel and dynamic role for glycosylation in CASQ. CASQ undergoes a unique degree of mannose trimming as it is trafficked from the proximal endoplasmic reticulum to the SR. The major glycoform of CASQ (GlcNAc(2)Man(9)) found in the proximal endoplasmic reticulum can severely hinder formation of the back-to-back interface, potentially preventing premature Ca(2+)-dependent polymerization of CASQ and ensuring its continuous mobility to the SR. Only trimmed glycans can stabilize both front-to-front and the back-to-back interfaces of CASQ through extensive hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Therefore, the mature glycoform of CASQ (GlcNAc(2)Man(1-4)) within the SR can be retained upon establishing a functional high capacity Ca(2+) binding polymer. In addition, based on the high resolution structures, we propose a molecular mechanism for the catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT2) mutation, K206N.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CSQ), the major intrasarcoplasmic reticulum calcium storage protein, undergoes dynamic polymerization and depolymerization in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. However, no direct evidence of CSQ depolymerization in vivo with physiological relevance has been obtained. In the present study, live cell imaging analysis facilitated characterization of the in vivo dynamics of the macromolecular CSQ structure. CSQ2 appeared as speckles in the presence of normal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) that were decondensed upon Ca(2+) depletion. Moreover, CSQ2 decondensation occurred only in the stoichiometric presence of junctin (JNT). When expressed alone, CSQ2 speckles remained unchanged, even after Ca(2+) depletion. FRET analysis revealed constant interactions between CSQ2 and JNT, regardless of the SR Ca(2+) concentration, implying that JNT is an essential component of the CSQ scaffold. In vitro solubility assay, electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy studies using purified recombinant proteins confirmed Ca(2+) and JNT-dependent disassembly of the CSQ2 polymer. Accordingly, we conclude that reversible polymerization and depolymerization of CSQ are critical in SR Ca(2+) homeostasis.

Abstract
CASQ (calsequestrin) is a Ca2+-buffering protein localized in the muscle SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum); however, it is unknown whether Ca2+ binding to CASQ2 is due to its location inside the SR rich in Ca2+ or due to its preference for Ca2+ over other ions. Therefore a major aim of the present study was to determine how CASQ2 selects Ca2+ over other metal ions by studying monomer folding and subsequent aggregation upon exposure to alkali (monovalent), alkaline earth (divalent) and transition (polyvalent) metals. We additionally investigated how CPVT (catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia) mutations affect CASQ2 structure and its molecular behaviour when exposed to different metal ions. Our results show that alkali and alkaline earth metals can initiate similar molecular compaction (folding), but only Ca2+ can promote CASQ2 to aggregate, suggesting that CASQ2 has a preferential binding to Ca2+ over all other metals. We additionally found that transition metals (having higher co-ordinated bonding ability than Ca2+) can also initiate folding and promote aggregation of CASQ2. These studies led us to suggest that folding and formation of higher-order structures depends on cationic properties such as co-ordinate bonding ability and ionic radius. Among the CPVT mutants studied, the L167H mutation disrupts the Ca2+-dependent folding and, when folding is achieved by Mn2+, L167H can undergo aggregation in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Interestingly, domain III mutants (D307H and P308L) lost their selectivity to Ca2+ and could be aggregated in the presence of Mg2+. In conclusion, these studies suggest that CPVT mutations modify CASQ2 behaviour, including folding, aggregation/polymerization and selectivity towards Ca2+.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CASQ) is a major Ca(2+) storage protein within the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of both cardiac and skeletal muscles. CASQ reportedly acts as a Ca(2+) buffer and Ca(2+)-channel regulator through its unique Ca(2+)-dependent oligomerization, maintaining the free Ca(2+) concentration at a low level (0.5-1mM) and the stability of SR Ca(2+) releases. Our approach, employing isothermal titration calorimetry and light scattering in parallel, has provided valuable information about the affinity of human cardiac CASQ (hCASQ2) for a variety of drugs, which have been associated with heart- or muscle-related side effects. Those strongly binding drugs included phenothiazines, anthracyclines and Ca(2+) channel blockers, such as trifluoperazine, thioridazine, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, amlodipine and verapamil, having an average affinity of ~18 μM. They exhibit an inhibitory effect on in vitro Ca(2+)-dependent polymerization of hCASQ2 in a manner proportional to their binding affinity. Therefore accumulation of such drugs in the SR could significantly hinder the Ca(2+)-buffering capacity of the SR and/or the regulation of the Ca(2+) channel, RyR2. These effects could result in serious cardiac problems in people who have genetically impaired hCASQ2, defects in other E-C coupling components or problems with metabolism and clearance of those drugs.

Abstract
Since its discovery in 1971, calsequestrin has been recognized as the main Ca(2+) binding protein inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the organelle that stores and upon demand mobilizes Ca(2+) for contractile activation of muscle. This article reviews the potential roles of calsequestrin in excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscle. It first considers the quantitative demands for a structure that binds Ca(2+) inside the SR in view of the amounts of the ion that must be mobilized to elicit muscle contraction. It briefly discusses existing evidence, largely gathered in cardiac muscle, of two roles for calsequestrin: as Ca(2+) reservoir and as modulator of the activity of Ca(2+) release channels, and then considers the results of an incipient body of work that manipulates the cellular endowment of calsequestrin. The observations include evidence that both the Ca(2+) buffering capacity of calsequestrin in solution and that of the SR in intact cells decay as the free Ca(2+) concentration is lowered. Together with puzzling observations of increase of Ca(2+) inside the SR, in cells or vesicular fractions, upon activation of Ca(2+) release, this is interpreted as evidence that the Ca(2+) buffering in the SR is non-linear, and is optimized for support of Ca(2+) release at the physiological levels of SR Ca(2+) concentration. Such non-linearity of buffering is qualitatively explained by a speculation that puts together ideas first proposed by others. The speculation pictures calsequestrin polymers as 'wires' that both bind Ca(2+) and efficiently deliver it near the release channels. In spite of the kinetic changes, the functional studies reveal that cells devoid of calsequestrin are still capable of releasing large amounts of Ca(2+) into the myoplasm, consistent with the long term viability and apparent good health of mice engineered for calsequestrin ablation. The experiments therefore suggest that other molecules are capable of providing sites for reversible binding of large amounts of Ca(2+) inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Calcium signaling, intrinsic to skeletal and cardiac muscle function, is critically dependent on the amount of calcium stored within the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calsequestrin, the main calcium buffer in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, provides a pool of calcium for release through the ryanodine receptor and acts as a luminal calcium sensor for the channel via its interactions with triadin and junctin. We examined the influence of phosphorylation of calsequestrin on its ability to store calcium, to polymerise and to regulate ryanodine receptors by binding to triadin and junctin. Our hypothesis was that these parameters might be altered by phosphorylation of threonine 353, which is located near the calcium and triadin/junctin binding sites. Although phosphorylation increased the calcium binding capacity of calsequestrin nearly 2-fold, it did not alter calsequestrin polymerisation, its binding to triadin or junctin or inhibition of ryanodine receptor activity at 1 mM luminal calcium. Phosphorylation was required for calsequestrin binding to junctin when calcium concentration was low (100 nM), and ryanodine receptors were activated by dephosphorylated calsequestrin when it bound to triadin alone. These novel data shows that phosphorylated calsequestrin is required for high capacity calcium buffering and suggest that ryanodine receptor inhibition by calsequestrin is mediated by junctin.

Abstract
We have investigated the covalent and secondary solution structure of caleosin, a 27-kDa protein also called ATS1 or AtClo1 (At4g26740) found within Arabidopsis thaliana seed lipid bodies. The native protein was partly phosphorylated at S225. Purified bacterially expressed caleosin (recClo) was not phosphorylated; cysteine residues C221 and C230 were connected by a disulfide bridge. In solution it exists as a mixture of predominant monomers and covalent dimers. We have used recClo as a model for the study of AtClo1 secondary structure. recClo is folded in aqueous solution (16% alpha-helix, 29% beta-sheet), its secondary structure being dramatically influenced by the polarity of media, as deduced from CD spectra measured in the presence of increasing concentrations of various aliphatic alcohols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Four distinct mutations in the human cardiac calsequestrin gene (CASQ2) have been linked to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). The mechanisms leading to the clinical phenotype are still poorly understood because only 1 CASQ2 mutation has been characterized in vitro. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified a homozygous 16-bp deletion at position 339 to 354 leading to a frame shift and a stop codon after 5aa (CASQ2(G112+5X)) in a child with stress-induced ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest. The same deletion was also identified in association with a novel point mutation (CASQ2(L167H)) in a highly symptomatic CPVT child who is the first CPVT patient carrier of compound heterozygous CASQ2 mutations. We characterized in vitro the properties of CASQ2 mutants: CASQ2(G112+5X) did not bind Ca2+, whereas CASQ2(L167H) had normal calcium-binding properties. When expressed in rat myocytes, both mutants decreased the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-storing capacity and reduced the amplitude of I(Ca)-induced Ca2+ transients and of spontaneous Ca2+ sparks in permeabilized myocytes. Exposure of myocytes to isoproterenol caused the development of delayed afterdepolarizations in CASQ2(G112+5X). CONCLUSIONS CASQ2(L167H) and CASQ2(G112+5X) alter CASQ2 function in cardiac myocytes, which leads to reduction of active sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release and calcium content. In addition, CASQ2(G112+5X) displays altered calcium-binding properties and leads to delayed afterdepolarizations. We conclude that the 2 CASQ2 mutations identified in CPVT create distinct abnormalities that lead to abnormal intracellular calcium regulation, thus facilitating the development of tachyarrhythmias.

Abstract
BAD-1 (Blastomyces adhesin 1), a 120-kDa protein of Blastomyces dermatitidis, functions as an adhesin, immune modulator, and essential virulence factor. Structurally, BAD-1 is composed of a short N-terminal region, a core of 30 tandem repeats critical for virulence, and a C-terminal epidermal growth factor domain that binds the protein to yeast cell surface chitin. Each of the 30 acidic residue-rich tandem repeats contains a sequence that resembles the calcium-binding loop of the EF-hand domain found in many calcium-binding proteins. Here, we investigated the binding of calcium by BAD-1 and its biological significance. Yeast washed with double distilled H2O released surface-bound BAD-1, but EGTA washes were an order of magnitude more efficient, suggesting an interaction between BAD-1 and calcium. Immobilized BAD-1 was stained with ruthenium red dye, an indicator of calcium-binding proteins. In equilibrium dialysis, BAD-1 bound 45Ca2+ with an affinity of 0.41 x 10(-5) m and a capacity of 27 calcium/mol. Mass spectrometry confirmed this capacity. Elevated [Ca2+] diminished BAD-1 solubility. Upon deletion of its C-terminal epidermal growth factor-like domain, BAD-1 resisted aggregation by elevated [Ca2+] but retained its affinity and capacity for calcium. Removing 20 copies of the tandem repeat, however, sharply reduced the capacity of BAD-1 for calcium. Growth of the bad-1 null yeast was inhibited by 5 mm EGTA, and re-expression of BAD-1 in trans or the addition of exogenous purified BAD-1 restored growth. Thus, BAD-1 is a high capacity calcium-binding protein. This property contributes to the structure and function of BAD-1, as well as to B. dermatitidis acquisition of calcium from the environment.

Abstract
The tight regulation of Ca2+ release to and clearance from the cytosol is essential for normal excitation-contraction coupling in both skeletal and cardiac muscles. Calsequestrin (CSQ) is one of the major components in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Previously, we showed that several pharmaceutical drugs, such as phenothiazine derivatives, tricyclic antidepressants, anthracycline derivatives, and other hydrophobic compounds bind CSQ with K(d) values in the micromolar range and significantly reduce the Ca2+ binding capacity of cardiac CSQ (Mol Pharmacol 67:97-104, 2005). Because of its key role in Ca2+ regulation, this interference with CSQ function could well produce adverse physiological consequences and potentially be linked to the known muscle-related side effects of these drugs. To further understand the molecular mechanism of undesirable drug effects or adverse drug reactions among those compounds, we examined their effect on the SR microsome. The results clearly showed that these compounds affect Ca2+ release and reduce the total Ca2+ content of the purified SR microsomes, matching well with our previous results with purified recombinant CSQ. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry showed that the antipsychotic drug trifluoperazine penetrates well into the SR microsome as expected from the reported and calculated log S (aqueous solubility) and log P (partition coefficient) values among the phenothiazine derivatives. We therefore propose that a certain portion of the muscle-related (both cardiac and skeletal) complications of these drugs is caused by the altered Ca2+ regulation of the SR mediated by their adverse interaction with CSQ.

Abstract
Calsequestrin, the major calcium sequestering protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle, forms a quaternary complex with the ryanodine receptor calcium release channel and the intrinsic membrane proteins triadin and junctin. We have investigated the possibility that calsequestrin is a luminal calcium concentration sensor for the ryanodine receptor. We measured the luminal calcium concentration at which calsequestrin dissociates from the ryanodine receptor and the effect of calsequestrin on the response of the ryanodine receptor to changes in luminal calcium. We provide electrophysiological and biochemical evidence that: 1), luminal calcium concentration of >/=4 mM dissociates calsequestrin from junctional face membrane, whereas in the range of 1-3 mM calsequestrin remains attached; 2), the association with calsequestrin inhibits ryanodine receptor activity, but amplifies its response to changes in luminal calcium concentration; and 3), under physiological calcium conditions (1 mM), phosphorylation of calsequestrin does not alter its ability to inhibit native ryanodine receptor activity when the anchoring proteins triadin and junctin are present. These data suggest that the quaternary complex is intact in vivo, and provides further evidence that calsequestrin is involved in the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium signaling pathway and has a role as a luminal calcium sensor for the ryanodine receptor.

Abstract
Anthracycline therapy is associated with a life-threatening but poorly understood cardiotoxicity. Effects of treatment are consistent with drug-induced disruption of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium homeostasis, including inhibition of calcium release by anthracyclines. This effect, which depends on luminal SR calcium concentration, is hypothesized to involve interactions of anthracyclines with the calcium binding protein calsequestrin (CSQ). This study was designed to test the hypothesis that an interaction between CSQ and anthracyclines could be related to alterations in SR calcium release and cardiac function. The effects of the anthracycline, daunorubicin, and its metabolite daunorubicinol were compared with those of a known CSQ inhibitor, trifluoperazine (TFP). Protein fluorescence quenching studies demonstrated that TFP, daunorubicin, and daunorubicinol bind to CSQ with apparent binding affinities in the low micromolar range. The presence of calcium decreases the drug-dependent fluorescence quenching, probably because of calcium-induced CSQ conformational changes. TFP also inhibited SR calcium release. Although the TFP IC50 value is somewhat larger than for anthracyclines, the TFP effect is also dependent on luminal SR calcium concentration. In a muscle preparation, micromolar TFP decreased cardiac contractility in a manner that implicates the involvement of SR calcium and resembles the effects of anthracyclines. These data are consistent with a mechanism in which TFP or anthracyclines impair SR calcium release and cardiac function through a mechanism involving disruption of CSQ function. Such a mechanism may contribute to anthracycline cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Fast (10-30 microm/s) calcium waves can be propagated through all nucleated eukaryotic cells that have been tested as well as certain cell-free extracts. In a widely used model, they are propagated by a reaction-diffusion cycle in which calcium ions diffuse along the outside of endoplasmic reticula and induce their own release from calsequestrin or calreticulin molecules stored within the reticulum's lumen. Here we propose a new tandem wave model in which they are also propagated by a reaction-diffusion cycle within a reticulum's lumen. In this cycle, increases in luminal [H(+)] induce proton release from luminal calsequestrin or calreticulin. The released protons diffuse ahead to where they release more protons from these luminal storage proteins. What might be called proton induced proton release. They also raise luminal electropositivity. The resultant luminal waves are coordinated with extrareticular ones by movements of calcium and hydrogen ions through the reticular membrane. This model makes five testable predictions which include the autorelease of protons in solutions of calsequestrins or calreticulins as well as waves of increased [H(+)], of increased [Ca(2+)] and of more positive voltage within the reticula of whole cells. Moreover, under some conditions, such luminal waves should cross regions without cytosolic ones.

Abstract
Ca(2+) regulation is coupled to critical signals in eucaryotic cells, and calsequestrin is one of the crucial components for this calcium regulation. Our previous observations of calsequestrins revealed the existence of three thioredoxin-like folds, a basic motif that often provides the platform for small molecule binding. Therefore, we have examined the previously reported trifluoperazine and other pharmaceuticals that have similar heart-related side effects (such as tachycardia; bradycardia; palpitation; changing PR, QRS, QTc intervals in electrocardiogram; heart failure) for their binding affinity to cardiac calsequestrin (cCSQ) using isothermal titration calorimetry. Our results showed that several antipsychotic phenothiazine derivatives, tricyclic antidepressants, and anthracycline derivatives bind cCSQ with K(d) in the micromolar range. For these compounds that have a significantly low K(d), their effect on Ca(2+) binding capacity of cCSQ was checked using equilibrium dialysis and atomic absorption spectroscopy, which clearly showed a significant reduction in Ca(2+) binding capacity of cCSQ as a result of this interaction. Furthermore, 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) binding to cCSQ closely resembles ANS binding to flavine or nucleotide binding sites. The combination of this information with the high abundance of CSQ in SR and the high membrane permeability of those drugs led us to the specific hypothesis that there are undesirable and damaging interactions between cCSQ and tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazine derivatives, anthracyclines, and many other pharmaceutical compounds and to the corollary hypothesis that better understanding of the molecular details of cCSQ-drug interactions could lead to modified drug molecules with reduced heart-related side effects.

Abstract
Calsequestrin is by far the most abundant Ca(2+)-binding protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal and cardiac muscle. It allows the Ca2+ required for contraction to be stored at total concentrations of up to 20mM, while the free Ca2+ concentration remains at approximately 1mM. This storage capacity confers upon muscle the ability to contract frequently with minimal run-down in tension. Calsequestrin is highly acidic, containing up to 50 Ca(2+)-binding sites, which are formed simply by clustering of two or more acidic residues. The Kd for Ca2+ binding is between 1 and 100 microM, depending on the isoform, species and the presence of other cations. Calsequestrin monomers have a molecular mass of approximately 40 kDa and contain approximately 400 residues. The monomer contains three domains each with a compact alpha-helical/beta-sheet thioredoxin fold which is stable in the presence of Ca2+. The protein polymerises when Ca2+ concentrations approach 1mM. The polymer is anchored at one end to ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+ release channels either via the intrinsic membrane proteins triadin and junctin or by binding directly to the RyR. It is becoming clear that calsequestrin has several functions in the lumen of the SR in addition to its well-recognised role as a Ca2+ buffer. Firstly, it is a luminal regulator of RyR activity. When triadin and junctin are present, calsequestrin maximally inhibits the Ca2+ release channel when the free Ca2+ concentration in the SR lumen is 1mM. The inhibition is relieved when the Ca2+ concentration alters, either because of small changes in the conformation of calsequestrin or its dissociation from the junctional face membrane. These changes in calsequestrin's association with the RyR amplify the direct effects of luminal Ca2+ concentration on RyR activity. In addition, calsequestrin activates purified RyRs lacking triadin and junctin. Further roles for calsequestrin are indicated by the kinase activity of the protein, its thioredoxin-like structure and its influence over store operated Ca2+ entry. Clearly, calsequestrin plays a major role in calcium homeostasis that extends well beyond its ability to buffer Ca2+ ions.

Abstract
Using cupric phenanthroline as a cross-linking agent, we have shown that melittin induced time-dependent aggregations of Na,K-ATPase in microsomal fractions and in preparations of purified Na,K-ATPase from duck salt glands. Incubation of melittin with these preparations also led to the progressive loss of Na,K-ATPase activity. At melittin/protein molar ratio of 5:1, we did not observe inhibition of Na,K-ATPase in the microsomal fraction but the process of enzyme aggregation occurred. At higher melittin/protein molar ratios (10:1 and 30:1), the inhibition of the enzyme and its aggregation proceeded simultaneously but the rates of these processes and maximal values achieved were different. At a melittin/protein ratio of 30:1, Na,K-ATPase inhibition may be described as a biexponential curve with the values for pseudo-first order rate constants being 2.7 and 0.15 min(-1). However, the aggregation may be presented by a monoexponential curve with a pseudo-first order rate constant of 0.15 min(-1). In purified preparations of Na,K-ATPase, the maximal aggregation (about 90%) was achieved at a melittin/protein molar ratio of 2:1, and a further increase in the melittin/protein ratio increased the rate of aggregation but did not affect the value of maximal aggregation. The results show that melittin induced both aggregation and inhibition of Na,K-ATPase but these two processes proceeded independently.

Abstract
In mammalian striated muscles, ryanodine receptor (RyR), triadin, junctin, and calsequestrin form a quaternary complex in the lumen of sarcoplasmic reticulum. Such intermolecular interactions contribute not only to the passive buffering of sarcoplasmic reticulum luminal Ca2+, but also to the active Ca2+ release process during excitation-contraction coupling. Here we tested the hypothesis that specific charged amino acids within the luminal portion of RyR mediate its direct interaction with triadin. Using in vitro binding assay and site-directed mutagenesis, we found that the second intraluminal loop of the skeletal muscle RyR1 (amino acids 4860-4917), but not the first intraluminal loop of RyR1 (amino acids 4581-4640) could bind triadin. Specifically, three negatively charged residues Asp4878, Asp4907, and Glu4908 appear to be critical for the association with triadin. Using deletional approaches, we showed that a KEKE motif of triadin (amino acids 200-232) is essential for the binding to RyR1. Because the second intraluminal loop of RyR has been previously shown to contain the ion-conducting pore as well as the selectivity filter of the Ca2+ release channel, and Asp4878, Asp4907, and Glu4908 residues are predicted to locate at the periphery of the pore assembly of the channel, our data suggest that a physical interaction between RyR1 and triadin could play an active role in the overall Ca2+ release process of excitation-contraction coupling in muscle cells.

Abstract
Two distinct dimerization contacts in calsequestrin crystals suggested a mechanism for Ca(2+) regulation resulting from the occurrence of coupled Ca(2+) binding and protein polymerization. Ca(2+)-induced formation of one contact was proposed to lead to dimerization followed by Ca(2+)-induced formation of the second contact to bring about polymerization (). To test this mechanism, we compared canine cardiac calsequestrin and four truncation mutants with regard to their folding properties, structures, and Ca(2+)-induced polymerization. The wild-type calsequestrin and truncation mutants exhibited similar K(+)-induced folding and end-point structures as indicated by intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism, respectively, whereas the polymerization tendencies of the wild-type calsequestrin differed markedly from the polymerization tendencies of the truncation mutants. Static laser light scattering and 3,3'-dithiobis sulfosuccinimidyl-propionate cross-linking indicated that wild-type protein exhibited an initial Ca(2+)-induced dimerization, followed by additional oligomerization as the Ca(2+) concentration was raised or as the K(+) concentration was lowered. None of the truncation mutants exhibited clear stepwise oligomerization that depended on increasing Ca(2+) concentration. Comparison of the three-dimensional structure of rabbit skeletal calsequestrin with a homology model of canine cardiac calsequestrin from the point of view of our coupled Ca(2+) binding and polymerization mechanism leads to a possible explanation for the 2-fold reduced Ca(2+) binding capacity of cardiac calsequestrin despite very similar overall net negative charge for the two proteins.

Abstract
As recently demonstrated by overlay assays using calsequestrin-peroxidase conjugates, the major 63 kDa Ca(2+)-binding protein of the sarcoplasmic reticulum forms complexes with itself, and with junctin (26 kDa), triadin (94 kDa) and the ryanodine receptor (560 kDa) [Glover, L., Culligan, K., Cala, S., Mulvey, C. & Ohlendieck, K. (2001) Biochim. Biophys. Acta1515, 120-132]. Here, we show that variations in the relative abundance of these four central elements of excitation-contraction coupling in different fiber types, and during chronic electrostimulation-induced fiber type transitions, are reflected by distinct alterations in the calsequestrin overlay binding patterns. Comparative immunoblotting with antibodies to markers of the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum, in combination with the calsequestrin overlay binding patterns, confirmed a lower ryanodine receptor expression in slow soleus muscle compared to fast fibers, and revealed a drastic reduction of the RyR1 isoform in chronic low-frequency stimulated tibialis anterior muscle. The fast-to-slow transition process included a distinct reduction in fast calsequestrin and triadin and a concomitant reduction in calsequestrin binding to these sarcoplasmic reticulum elements. The calsequestrin-binding protein junctin was not affected by the muscle transformation process. The increase in calsequestrin and decrease in junctin expression during postnatal development resulted in similar changes in the intensity of binding of the calsequestrin conjugate to these sarcoplasmic reticulum components. Aged skeletal muscle fibers tended towards reduced protein interactions within the calsequestrin complex. This agrees with the physiological concept that the key regulators of Ca(2+) homeostasis exist in a supramolecular membrane assembly and that protein-protein interactions are affected by isoform shifting underlying the finely tuned adaptation of muscle fibers to changed functional demands.

Abstract
We provide novel evidence that the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium binding protein, calsequestrin, inhibits native ryanodine receptor calcium release channel activity. Calsequestrin dissociation from junctional face membrane was achieved by increasing luminal (trans) ionic strength from 250 to 500 mM with CsCl or by exposing the luminal side of ryanodine receptors to high [Ca(2+)] (13 mM) and dissociation was confirmed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Calsequestrin dissociation caused a 10-fold increase in the duration of ryanodine receptor channel opening in lipid bilayers. Adding calsequestrin back to the luminal side of the channel after dissociation reversed this increased activity. In addition, an anticalsequestrin antibody added to the luminal solution reduced ryanodine receptor activity before, but not after, calsequestrin dissociation. A population of ryanodine receptors (approximately 35%) may have initially lacked calsequestrin, because their activity was high and was unaffected by increasing ionic strength or by anticalsequestrin antibody: their activity fell when purified calsequestrin was added and they then responded to antibody. In contrast to native ryanodine receptors, purified channels, depleted of triadin and calsequestrin, were not inhibited by calsequestrin. We suggest that calsequestrin reduces ryanodine receptor activity by binding to a coprotein, possibly to the luminal domain of triadin.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-handling proteins are important regulators of the excitation-contraction-relaxation cycle in skeletal muscle fibres. Although domain binding studies suggest protein coupling between various Ca(2+)-regulatory elements of triad junctions, no direct biochemical evidence exists demonstrating high-molecular-mass complex formation in native microsomal membranes. Calsequestrin represents the protein backbone of the luminal Ca(2+) reservoir and thereby occupies a central position in Ca(2+) homeostasis; we therefore used calsequestrin blot overlay assays in order to determine complex formation between sarcoplasmic reticulum components. Peroxidase-conjugated calsequestrin clearly labelled four major protein bands in one-dimensional (1D) and 2D electrophoretically separated membrane preparations from adult skeletal muscle. Immunoblotting identified the calsequestrin-binding proteins of approximately 26, 63, 94 and 560 kDa as junctin, calsequestrin itself, triadin and the ryanodine receptor, respectively. Protein-protein coupling could be modified by ionic detergents, non-ionic detergents, changes in Ca(2+) concentration, as well as antibody and purified calsequestrin binding. Importantly, complex formation as determined by blot overlay assays was confirmed by differential co-immunoprecipitation experiments and chemical crosslinking analysis. Hence, the key Ca(2+)-regulatory membrane components of skeletal muscle form a supramolecular membrane assembly. The formation of this tightly associated junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum complex seems to underlie the physiological regulation of skeletal muscle contraction and relaxation, which supports the biochemical concept that Ca(2+) homeostasis is regulated by direct protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Many proteins retained within the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) lumen express the COOH-terminal tetrapeptide KDEL, by which they continuously recycle from the Golgi complex; however, others do not express the KDEL retrieval signal. Among the latter is calsequestrin (CSQ), the major Ca2+-binding protein condensed within both the terminal cisternae of striated muscle SR and the ER vacuolar domains of some neurons and smooth muscles. To reveal the mechanisms of condensation and establish whether it also accounts for ER/SR retention of CSQ, we generated a variety of constructs: chimeras with another similar protein, calreticulin (CRT); mutants truncated of COOH- or NH2-terminal domains; and other mutants deleted or point mutated at strategic sites. By transfection in L6 myoblasts and HeLa cells we show here that CSQ condensation in ER-derived vacuoles requires two amino acid sequences, one at the NH2 terminus, the other near the COOH terminus. Experiments with a green fluorescent protein GFP/CSQ chimera demonstrate that the CSQ-rich vacuoles are long-lived organelles, unaffected by Ca2+ depletion, whose almost complete lack of movement may depend on a direct interaction with the ER. CSQ retention within the ER can be dissociated from condensation, the first identified process by which ER luminal proteins assume a heterogeneous distribution. A model is proposed to explain this new process, that might also be valid for other luminal proteins.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CSQ) is a high capacity Ca(2+) binding protein in the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum of striated muscles, and has been shown to regulate the ryanodine receptor (RyR) through triadin and junctin. In order to identify the functional roles of specific regions on CSQ, several CSQ deletion mutants were prepared by molecular cloning and Escherichia coli expression. 45Ca(2+) overlay assay using a native gel system revealed that the major Ca(2+) binding motif of CSQ resides in the asp-rich region (amino acids 354-367). In an in vitro binding assay using a glutathione-S-transferase affinity column, the interaction between CSQ and triadin was found to be Ca(2+)-dependent, and the site of interaction was confined to the asp-rich region of CSQ. Our results suggest that the asp-rich region of CSQ could participate in the RyR-mediated Ca(2+) release process by offering a direct binding site to luminal Ca(2+) as well as triadin.

Abstract
Calsequestrin is the major calcium-binding protein of cardiac and skeletal muscles whose function is to sequester Ca(2+)in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Here we describe the identification and functional characterization of a C. elegans calsequestrin gene (csq-1). CSQ-1 shows moderate similarity (50% similarity, 30% identity) to rabbit skeletal calsequestrin. Unlike mammals, which have two different genes encoding cardiac and fast-twitch skeletal muscle isoforms, csq-1 is the only calsequestrin gene in the C. elegans genome. We show that csq-1 is highly expressed in the body-wall muscles, beginning in mid-embryogenesis and maintained through the adult stage. In body-wall muscle cells, CSQ-1 is localized to sarcoplasmic membranes surrounding sarcomeric structures, in the regions where ryanodine receptors (UNC-68) are located. Mutation in UNC-68 affects CSQ-1 localization, suggesting that the two possibly interact in vivo. Genetic analyses of chromosomal deficiency mutants deleting csq-1 show that CSQ-1 is not essential for initiation of embryonic muscle formation and contraction. Furthermore, double-stranded RNA injection resulted in animals completely lacking CSQ-1 in body-wall muscles with no observable defects in locomotion. These findings suggest that although CSQ-1 is one of the major calcium-binding proteins in the body-wall muscles of C. elegans, it is not essential for body-wall muscle formation and contraction.

Abstract
"Natively unfolded" proteins occupy a unique niche within the protein kingdom in that they lack ordered structure under conditions of neutral pH in vitro. Analysis of amino acid sequences, based on the normalized net charge and mean hydrophobicity, has been applied to two sets of proteins: small globular folded proteins and "natively unfolded" ones. The results show that "natively unfolded" proteins are specifically localized within a unique region of charge-hydrophobicity phase space and indicate that a combination of low overall hydrophobicity and large net charge represent a unique structural feature of "natively unfolded" proteins.

Abstract
Calsequestrin (CS) is the Ca(2+) binding protein of the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR) lumen. Recently, a chimeric CS-HA1, obtained by adding the nine-amino-acid viral epitope hemagglutinin (HA1) to the COOH terminus of CS, was shown to be correctly segregated to the sarcoplasmic reticulum [A. Nori, K. A. Nadalini, A. Martini, R. Rizzuto, A. Villa, and P. Volpe. Am. J. Physiol. 272 (Cell Physiol. 41): C1420-C1428, 1997]. A putative targeting mechanism of CS to jSR implies electrostatic interactions between negative charges on CS and positive charges on intraluminal domains of jSR integral proteins, such as triadin and junctin. To test this hypothesis, 2 deletion mutants of chimeric CS were engineered: CS-HA1DeltaGlu-Asp, in which the 14 acidic residues [-Glu-(Asp)(5)-Glu-(Asp)(7)-] of the COOH-terminal tail were removed, and CS-HA1Delta49(COOH), in which the last, mostly acidic, 49 residues of the COOH terminus were removed. Both mutant cDNAs were transiently transfected in HeLa cells, myoblasts of rat skeletal muscle primary cultures, or regenerating soleus muscle fibers of adult rats. The expression and intracellular localization of CS-HA1 mutants were studied by epifluorescence microscopy with use of antibodies against CS or HA1. CS-HA1 mutants were shown to be expressed, sorted, and correctly segregated to jSR. Thus short or long deletions of the COOH-terminal acidic tail do not influence the targeting mechanism of CS.

Abstract
The RNase activity of barnase mutants obtained by the permutation of modules or secondary structure units was investigated. Four of the 45 mutants had weak but distinct RNase activity, and they had unique optimum pHs and temperatures like natural enzymes. One of the active mutants had an ordered conformation, but the others did not. An active mutant having disordered conformation formed an ordered conformation in the presence of GMP, which is an inhibitor of this mutant. These results indicate that the amino acid sequences derived from barnase have sufficient plasticity to be rearranged into different proteins with basal enzymatic properties.

Abstract
Linkage between the high-capacity Ca2+-binding protein calsequestrin and the ryanodine receptor is proposed to be essential for proper Ca2+-release during skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling. However, no direct biochemical evidence exists showing a connection between these high-molecular-mass complexes in native skeletal muscle membranes. Here, using immunoblot analysis of chemically crosslinked membrane vesicles enriched in triad junctions, we have demonstrated that a very close neighborhood relationship exists between calsequestrin and the ryanodine receptor in both main fiber types. Hence, the luminal Ca2+-reservoir complex appears to be directly coupled to the membrane Ca2+-release complex and oligomerization seems to be of functional importance.

Abstract
Calsequestrin, the major Ca2+ storage protein of muscle, coordinately binds and releases 40-50 Ca2+ ions per molecule for each contraction-relaxation cycle by an uncertain mechanism. We have determined the structure of rabbit skeletal muscle calsequestrin. Three very negative thioredoxin-like domains surround a hydrophilic center. Each monomer makes two extensive dimerization contacts, both of which involve the approach of many negative groups. This structure suggests a mechanism by which calsequestrin may achieve high capacity Ca2+ binding. The suggested mechanism involves Ca2+-induced collapse of the three domains and polymerization of calsequestrin monomers arising from three factors: N-terminal arm exchange, helix-helix contacts and Ca2+ cross bridges. This proposed structure-based mechanism accounts for the observed coupling of high capacity Ca2+ binding with protein precipitation.

Abstract
This article discusses how changes in luminal calcium concentration affect calcium release rates from triad-enriched sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, as well as single channel opening probability of the ryanodine receptor/calcium release channels incorporated in bilayers. The possible participation of calsequestrin, or of other luminal proteins of sarcoplasmic reticulum in this regulation is addressed. A comparison with the regulation by luminal calcium of calcium release mediated by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor/calcium channel is presented as well.

Abstract
Triadin is a major membrane protein that is specifically localized in the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle and is thought to play an important role in muscle excitation-contraction coupling. In order to identify the proteins in the skeletal muscle that interact with triadin, the cytoplasmic and luminal domains of triadin were expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins and immobilized to glutathione-Sepharose to form affinity columns. Using these affinity columns, we find that triadin binds specifically to the ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel and the Ca(2+)-binding protein calsequestrin from CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid)-solubilized skeletal muscle homogenates. The luminal but not the cytoplasmic domain of triadin-glutathione S-transferase fusion protein binds [3H]ryanodine receptor, whereas neither the cytoplasmic nor the luminal portion of triadin binds [3H]PN-200-100-labeled dihydropyridine receptor. In addition, the luminal domain of triadin interacts with calsequestrin in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner and is capable of inhibiting the reassociation of calsequestrin to the junctional face membrane. These results suggest that triadin is the previously unidentified transmembrane protein that anchors calsequestrin to the junctional region of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and is involved in the functional coupling between calsequestrin and the ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel.
