Summary

Partially purified fractions of dihydropyridine and phenylalklyamine receptors associated with voltage-dependent calcium channels in rabbit skeletal muscle were found to contain two glycopeptides of similar molecular weight. A peptide of approximately 165 kDa was photoaffinity labelled with an arylazido-phenylalklyamine Ca channel inhibitor and also was phosphorylated with cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Another peptide of 170 kDa could be distinguished from the 165 kDa peptide by peptide mapping and differences in electrophoretic mobility. The results suggest that the 165 kDa peptide contains the sites responsible for regulation of calcium channel activity by calcium channel inhibitors as well as by neurotransmitters that regulate its activity in a cAMP-dependent manner.

      Each of the four domains consists of six putative transmembrane α-helical segments (S1 to S6) with the S4 segment of each homologous domain serving as the voltage sensors responsible for activation, moving outward or inward under the influence of membrane potential changes (Fig. 1). The S5 and S6 segments form the pore-lining of the CaV channels (Hosey et al., 1987; Takahashi et al., 1987; Tanabe et al., 1987; Ellis et al., 1988). The different types of Ca2+ currents are primarily defined by ten different α1 subunits in mammalian cells.

      Finally, the γ subunit was both hydrophobic and glycosylated, so we placed it in a transmembrane position in the complex. We were stunned by the complexity of this calcium channel architecture, but we were quickly reassured that the results and model were correct as parallel work from the laboratories of Kevin Campbell (University of Iowa), Joerg Striessnig and Hartmut Glossmann (University of Innsbruck), Michel Lazdunski, and Franz Hofmann provided independent support for specific elements of the overall calcium channel model (28–32). The team of scientists in my laboratory that identified, purified, reconstituted, and defined the subunit structure of sodium and calcium channels was small and close-knit.

      VDCCs were first classified according to their voltage activation in low-voltage-activated type T channels (approximately − 60 mV) or high-voltage-activated (HVA, approximately − 30 mV) that included types L (long lasting), N (neuron), P/Q (first recorded in Purkinje neurons), and R channels (Fig. 4.3). The initial purification studies revealed alpha1, beta, and gamma subunits (Catterall, 2000b) and later biochemical analyses revealed an additional alpha2-delta subunit that comigrated with alpha1 (Hosey et al., 1987). Calcium channels are heteromeric complexes composed of alpha1, beta, alpha2-delta, and gamma subunits.

      Calcium influx via postsynaptic CaV1 channels supports sustained phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)3 and CREB-dependent gene expression in hippocampal neurons (6–13). Functional CaV1 channels are multimeric complexes composed of pore-forming α1 and associated α2δ, β, and in some cases, γ subunits (14–19). These channels have an extended C terminus containing many protein interaction sites for regulation (5).
