Kim “Avrama” Blackwell George Mason University Modelling Calcium Concentration

Importance of Calcium Calcium influences channel behaviour, and thereby spike dynamics Short term influences on calcium dependent potassium channels Long term influences such as potentiation and depression via kinases Electrical activity influences calcium concentration via I Ca Phosphorylation influences calcium concentration via kinetics of calcium permeable channels

Feedback Loops of Calcium Dynamics Calcium Ca 2+ Kinases SK, BK channels Membrane Potential __________ Potassium, Sodium channels Synaptic channels, Calcium channels Fast Slow

Control of Calcium Dynamics

Calcium Sources – Calcium Currents Multiple types of voltage dependence calcium channels (L, N, P, Q, R, T) Calcium permeable synaptic channels (NMDA) – Release from Intracellular Stores (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) IP 3 Receptor Channel (IP 3 R) Ryanodine Receptor Channel (RyR)

Control of Calcium Dynamics Calcium Sinks – Pumps Smooth Endoplasmic Calcium ATPase (SERCA) Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase (PMCA) Sodium-Calcium exchanger Source or Sink – Buffers - bind calcium when concentration is high, releases calcium as concentration decreases Calmodulin – active Calbindin - inactive – Diffusion – moves calcium from high concentration to low concentration regions

Calcium Currents L type (CaL1.x) – High threshold, Long lasting, no voltage dependent inactivation T type (CaL3.x) – Low threshold, Transient, prominent voltage dependent inactivation Vm

Calcium Currents N type (Cal2.x) High threshold (but lower than L type), moderate voltage dependent inactivation (Neither long lasting nor transient) P/Q type (Cal2.x) P type found in cerebellar Purkinje cells Properties similar to L type channel R type (Cal2.x) Used to be “Residual” current Now subunit identified

Flux has units of moles per unit time, converted to concentration using rxnpool, Ca_concen, diffshell, or pool object

Calcium Release through Receptor Channels

Calcium Release Calcium Release Receptor Channels are modelled as multi-state molecules – One state is the conducting state – For IP 3 receptor state transitions depend on calcium concentration and IP 3 concentration – For Ryanodine receptor, state transitions depend on calcium concentration

Dynamics of Release Channels Both IP 3 R and RyR have two calcium binding sites: – Binding to one site is fast, causes fast channel opening – Binding to other site is slower, causes slow channel closing IP 3 R has an additional binding site for IP 3

IP 3 Receptor 8 state model of DeYoung and Keizer, 1992 Figure from Li and Rinzel, 1994

Dynamics of Release Channels Dynamics similar to sodium channel: – IP 3 with low calcium produces small channel opening – Channel opening increases calcium concentration – Higher concentration causes larger channel opening – Positive feed back produces calcium spike

Dynamics of Release Channels High calcium causes slower channel closing – Slow negative feedback – Channel inactivates – Inactivation analogous to sodium channel inactivation SERCA pumps calcium back into ER – Calcium concentration returns to basal level

Calcium Extrusion Mechanisms Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase (PMCA) pump and sodium calcium exchanger (NCX) are the primary mechanism for re- equilibrating calcium in spines and thin dendrites (Scheuss et al. 2006) These mechanisms depress with high activity or calcium concentration – Decay of calcium transient is slower – Positive feedback elevates calcium in small compartments

Calcium ATPase Pumps Plasma membrane (PMCA) – Extrudes calcium to extracellular space – Binds one calcium ion for each ATP – Affinity ~ nM Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SERCA) – Sequesters calcium in SER – Binds two calcium ions for each ATP – Affinity ~100 nM

Sodium Calcium Exchange (NCX) Stoichiometry – 3 sodium exchanged for 1 calcium Charge transfer – Unequal => electrogenic – One proton flows in for each transport cycle – Small current produces small depolarization Theoretical capacity ~50x greater than PMCA

Sodium Calcium Exchange (NCX) Depolarization may reverse pump direction Ion concentration change may reverse direction Increase in Na int or decrease in Na ext Increase in internal sodium may explain activity dependent depression Increase in Ca ext or decrease in Ca int

Other formulations in Campbell et al J Physiol., DiFrancesco and Noble 1985 Philos Trans R Soc Lond B, Weber et al J Gen Physiol

Calcium Buffers Calmodulin is a major calcium binding protein – Binds 4 calcium ions per molecule – High affinity for target enzymes Calcium-Calmodulin Dependent Protein Kinase (CaMKII, CaMKIV) Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Adenylyl Cyclase (AC) Protein Phosphatase 2B (PP2B = calcineurin) – K D1 = 1.5 uM, K D2 = 10 uM, – Recent estimates in Faas, Raghavachari, Lisman, Mody (2011) Nat Neurosci.

Calcium Buffers Calbindin – Binds 4 calcium ions per molecule – Not physiologically active – 40  M in CA1 pyramidal neurons (Muller et al. 2006) – Diffusion coefficient = 20 m 2 /s – K D = 700 nM, k on = 2.7 x10 7 /M-sec Parvalbumin – In fast spiking interneurons

Diffusion Calcium decay in spines exhibits fast and slow components (Majewska et al. 2000) – Fast component due to Buffered diffusion of calcium from spine to dendrite, which depends on spine neck geometry Pumps, which are independent of spine neck geometry – Slow component matches dendritic calcium decay Solely controlled by calcium extrusion mechanisms in the dendrite
