Microdomains of Intracellular Ca2+: Molecular Determinants and Functional Consequences

Rosario Rizzuto and Tullio Pozzan

Department of Experimental and Diagnostic Medicine and Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Inflammation, University of Ferrara, Ferrara; and Department of Biomedical Sciences, National Research Council Institute of Neuroscience, and Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Padua, Padua, Italy

Calcium ions are ubiquitous and versatile signaling molecules, capable of decoding a variety of extracellular stimuli (hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, etc.) into markedly different intracellular actions, ranging from contraction to secretion, from proliferation to cell death. The key to this pleiotropic role is the complex spatiotemporal organization of the [Ca2+] rise evoked by extracellular agonists, which allows selected effectors to be recruited and specific actions to be initiated. In this review, we discuss the structural and functional bases that generate the subcellular heterogeneity in cellular Ca2+ levels at rest and under stimulation. This complex choreography requires the concerted action of many different players; the central role is, of course, that of the calcium ion, with the main supporting characters being all the entities responsible for moving Ca2+ between different compartments, while the cellular architecture provides a determining framework within which all the players have their exits and their entrances. In particular, we concentrate on the molecular mechanisms that lead to the generation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ microdomains, focusing on their different subcellular location, mechanism of generation, and functional role.
