RESUMO
Loss of endoplasmic reticular (ER) Ca2+ activates store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) by causing the ER localized Ca2+ sensor STIM to unfurl domains that activate Orai channels in the plasma membrane at membrane contact sites (MCS). Here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism by which the inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), an ER-localized IP3-gated Ca2+ channel, regulates neuronal SOCE. In human neurons, SOCE evoked by pharmacological depletion of ER-Ca2+ is attenuated by loss of IP3Rs, and restored by expression of IP3Rs even when they cannot release Ca2+, but only if the IP3Rs can bind IP3. Imaging studies demonstrate that IP3Rs enhance association of STIM1 with Orai1 in neuronal cells with empty stores; this requires an IP3-binding site, but not a pore. Convergent regulation by IP3Rs, may tune neuronal SOCE to respond selectively to receptors that generate IP3.

Phospholipase A2 group 6 (PLA2G6, iPLA2ß or PARK14) gene encodes a calcium-independent group 6 phospholipase A2 enzyme and is associated with young-onset autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD). We generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from a patient with young-onset PD carrying a homozygous PLA2G6: c.2222G>A (p. Arg741Gln) mutation (NCBSi003-A) and unaffected heterozygous parent (NCBSi004-A). These iPSC lines will be used for investigating the key molecular signatures of young-onset PD (YOPD), and to understand the predictive phenotypes of the disease.
