Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) encodes a range of cellular responses downstream of Ca2+ influx through the SOCE channel Orai1. Orai1 recycles at the plasma membrane (PM), with ~40% of the total Orai1 pool residing at the PM at steady state. The mechanisms regulating Orai1 recycling remain poorly understood. We map the domains in Orai1 that are required for its trafficking to and recycling at the PM. We further identify, using biochemical and proteomic approaches, the CCT [chaperonin-containing TCP-1 (T-complex protein 1)] chaperonin complex as a novel regulator of Orai1 recycling by primarily regulating Orai1 endocytosis. We show that Orai1 interacts with CCT through its intracellular loop and that inhibition of CCT-Orai1 interaction increases Orai1 PM residence. This increased residence is functionally significant as it results in prolonged Ca2+ signaling, early formation of STIM1-Orai1 puncta, and more rapid activation of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) downstream of SOCE. Therefore, the CCT chaperonin is a novel regulator of Orai1 trafficking and, as such, a modulator of Ca2+ signaling and effector activation kinetics.

Channel Function

The Orai1 channel is regulated by stromal interaction molecules STIM1 and STIM2 within endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) contact sites. Ca2+signals generated by Orai1 activate Ca2+-dependent gene expression. When compared with STIM1, STIM2 is a weak activator of Orai1, but it has been suggested to have a unique role in nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFAT1) activation triggered by Orai1-mediated Ca2+entry. In this study, we examined the contribution of STIM2 in NFAT1 activation. We report that STIM2 recruitment of Orai1/STIM1 to ER-PM junctions in response to depletion of ER-Ca2+promotes assembly of the channel with AKAP79 to form a signaling complex that couples Orai1 channel function to the activation of NFAT1. Knockdown of STIM2 expression had relatively little effect on Orai1/STIM1 clustering or local and global [Ca2+]iincreases but significantly attenuated NFAT1 activation and assembly of Orai1 with AKAP79. STIM1ΔK, which lacks the PIP2-binding polybasic domain, was recruited to ER-PM junctions following ER-Ca2+depletion by binding to Orai1 and caused local and global [Ca2+]iincreases comparable to those induced by STIM1 activation of Orai1. However, in contrast to STIM1, STIM1ΔK induced less NFAT1 activation and attenuated the association of Orai1 with STIM2 and AKAP79. Orai1-AKAP79 interaction and NFAT1 activation were recovered by coexpressing STIM2 with STIM1ΔK. Replacing the PIP2-binding domain of STIM1 with that of STIM2 eliminated the requirement of STIM2 for NFAT1 activation. Together, these data demonstrate an important role for STIM2 in coupling Orai1-mediated Ca2+influx to NFAT1 activation.

Tachykinins interact with three neurokinin receptors (NKRs) that are often coexpressed by the same cell. Cellular responses to tachykinins depend on the NKR subtype that is activated. We compared the colocalization of NK1R and NK3R with β-arrestins 1 and 2, which play major roles in receptor desensitization, endocytosis, and signaling. In cells expressing NK1R, the selective agonist Sar-Met-substance P induced rapid translocation of β-arrestins 1 and 2 from the cytosol to the plasma membrane and then endosomes, indicative of interaction with both isoforms. In contrast, the NK3R interacted transiently with only β-arrestin 2 at the plasma membrane. Despite these differences, both NK1R and NK3R similarly desensitized, internalized, and activated MAP kinases. Because interactions with β-arrestins can explain differences in the rate of receptor resensitization, we compared resensitization of agonist-induced Ca2+ mobilization. The NK1R resensitized greater than twofold more slowly than the NK3R. Replacement of intracellular loop 3 and the COOH tail of the NK1R with comparable domains of the NK3R diminished colocalization of the NK1R with β-arrestin 1 and accelerated resensitization to that of the NK3R. Thus loop 3 and the COOH tail specify colocalization of the NK1R with β-arrestin 1 and determine the rate of resensitization.

Myrciaria dubia (HBK) McVaugh (camu-camu) belongs to the family Myrtaceae. Although camu-camu has received a great deal of attention for its potential pharmacological activities, there is little information on the anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects of camu-camu fruit in skin diseases. In the present study, we investigated the preventative effect of 70% ethanol camu-camu fruit extract against high glucose-induced human keratinocytes. High glucose-induced overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was inhibited by camu-camu fruit treatment. In response to ROS reduction, camu-camu fruit modulated the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)/activator protein-1 (AP-1), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling pathways related to inflammation by downregulating the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Furthermore, camu-camu fruit treatment activated the expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and subsequently increased the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1) expression to protect keratinocytes against high-glucose-induced oxidative stress. These results indicate that camu-camu fruit is a promising material for preventing oxidative stress and skin inflammation induced by high glucose level.

ABSTRACT Calcium-stimulated nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) transcription activity at the interleukin-2 promoter is negatively regulated by cyclic AMP (cAMP). This effect of cAMP is mediated, in part, by protein kinase A phosphorylation of NFAT. The mechanism of regulation involves the creation of a phosphorylation-dependent binding site for 14-3-3. Decreased NFAT phosphorylation caused by the calcium-stimulated phosphatase calcineurin, or mutation of the PKA phosphorylation sites, disrupted 14-3-3 binding and increased NFAT transcription activity. In contrast, NFAT phosphorylation caused by cAMP increased 14-3-3 binding and reduced NFAT transcription activity. The regulated interaction between NFAT and 14-3-3 provides a mechanism for the integration of calcium and cAMP signaling pathways.
