Selective Activation of the Transcription Factor NFAT1 by Calcium Microdomains near Ca2+ Release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) Channels*
NFATs are a family of Ca2+-dependent transcription factors that play a central role in the morphogenesis, development, and physiological activities of numerous distinct cell types and organ systems.… Expand
Different agonists recruit different stromal interaction molecule proteins to support cytoplasmic Ca2+ oscillations and gene expression

Stimulation of cells with physiological concentrations of calcium-mobilizing agonists often results in the generation of repetitive cytoplasmic Ca2+ oscillations. Although oscillations arise from… Expand
Distinct Ca2+ channels mediate transmitter release at excitatory synapses displaying different dynamic properties in rat neocortex.
To study the type of presynaptic calcium channels controlling transmitter release at synaptic connections displaying depression or facilitation, dual whole cell recordings combined with biocytin… Expand
Biphasic Regulation of Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uptake by Cytosolic Ca2+ Concentration
A rise in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration is used as a key activation signal in virtually all animal cells, where it triggers a range of responses including neurotransmitter release, muscle… Expand
Mitofusin 2 Regulates STIM1 Migration from the Ca2+ Store to the Plasma Membrane in Cells with Depolarized Mitochondria*

- 10 January 2011
Store-operated Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane (PM) are activated by the depletion of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and constitute a widespread and highly conserved Ca2+ influx… Expand
Local Ca2+ Influx through Ca2+ Release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) Channels Stimulates Production of an Intracellular Messenger and an Intercellular Pro-inflammatory Signal*

Ca2+ entry through store-operated Ca2+ channels drives the production of the pro-inflammatory molecule leukotriene C4 (LTC4) from mast cells through a pathway involving Ca2+-dependent protein kinase… Expand
Excitation by geniculocortical synapses is not ‘vetoed’ at the level of dendritic spines in cat visual cortex.

1. We used anatomical methods to examine whether the geniculocortical afferent input to dendritic spines could be gated or ‘vetoed’ by an inhibitory input to the same spine. 2. Physiologically… Expand
CRAC Channels Drive Digital Activation and Provide Analog Control and Synergy to Ca2+-Dependent Gene Regulation
Ca(2+)-dependent gene expression is critical for cell growth, proliferation, plasticity, and adaptation [1-3]. Because a common mechanism in vertebrates linking cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals with… Expand
Startle potentiation by threat of aversive stimuli and darkness in adolescents: a multi-site study.

- 1 April 1999
In recent years, the startle reflex has become an exciting new tool to investigate affective responses to aversive stimuli in humans. The popularity of this methodology is largely based on the… Expand
Ca2+ influx through CRAC channels activates cytosolic phospholipase A2, leukotriene C4 secretion, and expression of c‐fos through ERK‐dependent and independent pathways in mast cells
