The plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pumping ATPase (Ca(2+)-ATPase) mRNAs are encoded on four different genes designated PMCA1-PMCA4. The primary transcripts from some of these genes are known to be alternately spliced in the region encoding the regulatory domains of the enzymes. The known alternately spliced forms of these Ca(2+)-ATPase mRNAs and a new spliced variant of PMCA4 (PMCA4b), presented here, represent at least nine different mRNAs encoding the Ca(2+)-ATPases. In this report, the examination of the tissue-specific distribution of these alternately spliced mRNAs using polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA coupled with Southern blotting revealed that each spliced variant had a unique tissue distribution. PMCA1b and PMCA4a were present in all tissues examined. PMCA1a, PMCA1b, and PMCA4b were expressed in excitable tissues, whereas PMCA1d was expressed only in muscle tissues. PMCA2 was found in liver, adrenal gland, spinal cord, and brain. PMCA3a was present in spinal cord, and PMCA3b in thymus, adrenal gland, spinal cord, and brain. The mRNA for a new spliced variant of PMCA4 (PMCA4b) was detected in this study. Complementary DNAs for this isoform were isolated and characterized from human and bovine brain. This alternately spliced form of the PMCA4 mRNA contained an exon inserted at the splice junction immediately following the sequence encoding the calmodulin-binding domain. As has also been shown for PMCA1a, this insertion produced a shift in the reading frame at the 3'-end of the PMCA4 mRNA that yielded a sequence encoding a Ca(2+)-ATPase lacking a large portion of the C-terminal regulatory domain. When the human PMCA4 gene spanning this region of variable exon splicing was sequenced, it confirmed the intron-exon boundaries where alternate splicing occurs to produce PMCA4a and PMCA4b.

Gaining insight into nonmuscle Ca(2+) signaling requires basic knowledge of the major structures involved. We investigated the expression of platelet Ca(2+)ATPases in normal and hypertension-associated abnormal Ca(2+) signaling. First, overall identification of normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat Ca(2+)ATPases was attempted by looking for newly described human platelet 3'-end alternatively spliced sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPases (SERCA) 3b mRNA and plasma membrane Ca(2+)ATPase (PMCA) 1b and 4b proteins, in addition to SERCA2b and SERCA3a isoforms. For SERCAs, comparative analyses of human and Wistar-Kyoto rat SERCA3 platelet mRNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by sequencing established that human platelets coexpressed SERCA3b and a third SERCA3c, while rat cells were devoid of them but expressed a still unknown splice variant that we termed rSERCA3b/3c. Its identification using 3'-end SERCA3 gene and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR studies showed that it results from an additional SERCA3 alternative splicing process, which uses a second alternative polyadenylation site located in the last intron. For PMCAs, with the use of gene-specific RT-PCR followed by sequencing and Western blotting using 5F10 monoclonal antibody, expression of human and rat platelet PMCA1b and PMCA4b was similar. Second, comparative analysis of these newly identified Ca(2+)ATPases and SERCA3a in age-matched spontaneously hypertensive rat platelets demonstrated (1) a marked downregulation of rSERCA3b/3c, which became null, and a 1.71-fold increase in SERCA3a and (2) an opposite regulation of the 2 PMCAs, namely, a 3.3-fold decrease in PMCA1b mRNA and a 3.7-fold increase in PMCA4b mRNA. Hence, platelets coexpress multiple, diverse, and species-specific Ca(2+)ATPases, including a novel fourth SERCA3. Moreover, expression of PMCA (1b and 4b), SERCA3a, and rSERCA3b/3c was modulated in rat hypertension. Hence, Ca(2+)ATPases should be regarded as constituting a new rational basis for the understanding of nonmuscle cell Ca(2+) signaling.

Protein expression of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases (PMCAs) and the putative Golgi secretory pathway Ca(2+)-ATPase (SPCA) was examined in rat mammary tissue. As lactation started, PMCA protein expression increased dramatically, and this increased expression paralleled milk production. Mammary PMCA was primarily PMCA2b but was approximately 4,000 daltons larger than expected. RT-PCR showed that the primary mammary PMCA2b transcript was alternatively spliced, at splice site A, to include an additional 135 bp, resulting in the insertion of 45 amino acids. This splice form is designated 2bw. PMCA2bw is secreted into milk, associated with the milk fat globule membrane. Therefore, PMCA2bw is located on the apical membrane of the secretory cell. Smaller amounts of PMCA1b and 4b protein were found in mammary tissue. PMCA4b was the major PMCA expressed in developing tissue, and its level declined as lactation started. PMCA1b expression increased moderately during lactation. SPCA protein expression increased 1 wk before parturition and increased further as lactation proceeded. The abundance and cell location of PMCA2b suggest that it is important for macro-Ca(2+) homeostasis in lactating tissue. The pattern of expression and abundance of SPCA suggest that it is a candidate for the Golgi Ca(2+)-ATPase.

Spatial and temporal regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling depends on localized Ca(2+) microdomains containing the requisite molecular components for Ca(2+) influx, efflux, and signal transmission. Plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) isoforms of the "b" splice type contain predicted PDZ (PSD95/Dlg/ZO-1) interaction domains. The COOH-terminal tail of PMCA2b isolated the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) protein SAP97/hDlg as a binding partner in a yeast two-hybrid screen. The related MAGUKs SAP90/PSD95, PSD93/chapsyn-110, SAP97, and SAP102 all bound to the COOH-terminal tail of PMCA4b, whereas only the first three bound to the tail of PMCA2b. Coimmunoprecipitations confirmed the interaction selectivity between PMCA4b and SAP102 as opposed to the promiscuity of PMCA2b and 4b in interacting with other SAPs. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy revealed the exclusive presence and colocalization of PMCA4b and SAP97 in the basolateral membrane of polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells. In hippocampal neurons, PMCA2b was abundant throughout the somatodendritic compartment and often extended into the neck and head of individual spines where it colocalized with SAP90/PSD95. These data show that PMCA "b" splice forms interact promiscuously but also with specificity with different members of the PSD95 family of SAPs. PMCA-SAP interactions may play a role in the recruitment and maintenance of the PMCA at specific membrane domains involved in local Ca(2+) regulation.

The plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) plays an essential role in maintaining low cytosolic Ca(2+) in resting platelets. During platelet activation PMCA is phosphorylated transiently on tyrosine residues resulting in inhibition of the pump that enhances elevation of Ca(2+). Tyrosine phosphorylation of many proteins during platelet activation results in their association with the cytoskeleton. Consequently, in the present study we asked if PMCA interacts with the platelet cytoskeleton. We observed that very little PMCA is associated with the cytoskeleton in resting platelets but that approximately 80% of total PMCA (PMCA1b + PMCA4b) is redistributed to the cytoskeleton upon activation with thrombin. Tyrosine phosphorylation of PMCA during activation was not associated with the redistribution because tyrosine-phosphorylated PMCA was not translocated specifically to the cytoskeleton. Because PMCA b-splice isoforms have C-terminal PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 homology domain (PDZ)-binding domains, a C-terminal peptide was used to disrupt potential PDZ domain interactions. Activation of saponin-permeabilized platelets in the presence of the peptide led to a significant decrease of PMCA in the cytoskeleton. PMCA associated with the cytoskeleton retained Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. These results suggest that during activation active PMCA is recruited to the cytoskeleton by interaction with PDZ domains and that this association provides a microenvironment with a reduced Ca(2+) concentration.

To understand how the plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump (PMCA) behaves under changing Ca(2+) concentrations, it is necessary to obtain information about the Ca(2+) dependence of the rate constants for calmodulin activation (k(act)) and for inactivation by calmodulin removal (k(inact)). Here we studied these constants for isoforms 2b and 4b. We measured the ATPase activity of these isoforms expressed in Sf9 cells. For both PMCA4b and 2b, k(act) increased with Ca(2+) along a sigmoidal curve. At all Ca(2+) concentrations, 2b showed a faster reaction with calmodulin than 4b but a slower off rate. On the basis of the measured rate constants, we simulated mathematically the behavior of these pumps upon repetitive changes in Ca(2+) concentration and also tested these simulations experimentally; PMCA was activated by 500 nm Ca(2+) and then exposed to 50 nm Ca(2+) for 10 to 150 s, and then Ca(2+) was increased again to 500 nm. During the second exposure to 500 nm Ca(2+), the activity reached steady state faster than during the first exposure at 500 nm Ca(2+). This memory effect is longer for PMCA2b than for 4b. In a separate experiment, a calmodulin-binding peptide from myosin light chain kinase, which has no direct interaction with the pump, was added during the second exposure to 500 nm Ca(2+). The peptide inhibited the activity of PMCA2b when the exposure to 50 nm Ca(2+) was 150 s but had little or no effect when this exposure was only 15 s. This suggests that the memory effect is due to calmodulin remaining bound to the enzyme during the period at low Ca(2+). The memory effect observed in PMCA2b and 4b will allow cells expressing either of them to remove Ca(2+) more quickly in subsequent spikes after an initial activating spike.

Plasma membrane Ca(2+) -ATPase isoform 4b (PMCA4b) is phosphorylated on a tyrosine residue during platelet activation resulting in inhibition of its ATPase activity. We now report that tyrosine 1176 (Y(1176)) in the carboxyl (C-) terminal domain of PMCA4b is the phosphorylated residue. Two tyrosine residues located in the C-terminus of PMCA4b, Y(1122) and Y(1176) can be removed by calpain-dependent cleavage. This truncation removes all of the tyrosine phosphates added to PMCA during platelet activation. Sequence analysis indicates that Y(1176) is a likely substrate for focal adhesion kinase (FAK), while Y(1122) is not located in a tyrosine phosphorylation motif. This is the same residue we reported earlier to be phosphorylated by Src kinase in vitro. Thus we conclude that Y(1176) is the only tyrosine phosphorylated during platelet activation. Results of co-immunoprecipitation, treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and integrin inhibition experiments suggest that FAK is responsible for PMCA4b tyrosine phosphorylation during platelet activation.

Plasma membrane Ca(2+) ATPases (PMCAs) maintain intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis and participate in the local regulation of Ca(2+) signaling. Spatially separate demands for Ca(2+) regulation require proper membrane targeting of PMCAs, but the mechanism of PMCA targeting is unknown. Using the PMCA2b carboxyl-terminal tail as yeast two-hybrid bait, we isolated a novel PDZ domain-containing protein from a human brain cDNA library. This protein, named PISP for PMCA-interacting single-PDZ protein, consists of 140 amino acids and contains little else besides a single PDZ domain. Pulldown experiments showed that PISP interacts with all PMCA b-splice forms. PISP was found to be ubiquitously expressed and, in MDCK cells, was present in a punctate pattern throughout the cytosol and at the basolateral membrane. When added to microsomal membranes expressing PMCA4b, PISP was unable to stimulate the PMCA-dependent ATPase activity. Our data suggest that PISP is a transiently interacting partner of the PMCA b-splice forms that may play a role in their sorting to or from the plasma membrane.

The calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T-cell (NFAT) pathway represents a crucial transducer of cellular function. There is increasing evidence placing the sarcolemmal calcium pump, or plasma membrane calcium/calmodulin ATPase pump (PMCA), as a potential modulator of signal transduction pathways. We demonstrate a novel interaction between PMCA and the calcium/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin, in mammalian cells. The interaction domains were located to the catalytic domain of PMCA4b and the catalytic domain of the calcineurin A subunit. Endogenous calcineurin activity, assessed by measuring the transcriptional activity of its best characterized substrate, NFAT, was significantly inhibited by 60% in the presence of ectopic PMCA4b. This inhibition was notably reversed by the co-expression of the PMCA4b interaction domain, demonstrating the functional significance of this interaction. PMCA4b was, however, unable to confer its inhibitory effect in the presence of a calcium/calmodulin-independent constitutively active mutant calcineurin A suggesting a calcium/calmodulin-dependent mechanism. The modulatory function of PMCA4b is further supported by the observation that endogenous calcineurin moves from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane when PMCA4b is overexpressed. We suggest recruitment by PMCA4b of calcineurin to a low calcium environment as a possible explanation for these findings. In summary, our results offer strong evidence for a novel functional interaction between PMCA and calcineurin, suggesting a role for PMCA as a negative modulator of calcineurin-mediated signaling pathways in mammalian cells. This study reinforces the emerging role of PMCA as a molecular organizer and regulator of signaling transduction pathways.

Ca2+ dysregulation is a hallmark of excitotoxicity, a process that underlies multiple neurodegenerative disorders. The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) plays a major role in clearing Ca2+ from the neuronal cytoplasm. Here, we show that the rate of PMCA-mediated Ca2+ efflux from rat hippocampal neurons decreased following treatment with an excitotoxic concentration of glutamate. PMCA-mediated Ca2+ extrusion following a brief train of action potentials exhibited an exponential decay with a mean time constant (tau) of 8.8 +/- 0.2 s. Four hours following the start of a 30 min treatment with 200 microm glutamate, a second population of cells emerged with slowed recovery kinetics (tau = 16.5 +/- 0.3 s). Confocal imaging of cells expressing an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-PMCA4b fusion protein revealed that glutamate treatment internalized EGFP and that cells with reduced plasma membrane fluorescence had impaired Ca2+ clearance. Treatment with inhibitors of the Ca2+-activated protease calpain protected PMCA function and prevented EGFP-PMCA internalization. PMCA internalization was triggered by activation of NMDA receptors and was less pronounced for a non-toxic concentration of glutamate relative to one that produces excitotoxicity. PMCA isoform 2 also internalized following exposure to glutamate, although the Na+/K+ ATPase did not. These data suggest that glutamate exposure initiated protease-mediated internalization of PMCAs with a corresponding loss of function that may contribute to the Ca2+ dysregulation that accompanies excitotoxicity.
