AI Article Synopsis
- NAADP is a molecule that helps T cells start their activation by causing calcium (Ca) to be released in tiny areas called microdomains.
- Scientists found a special protein called HN1L (or JPT2) that helps NAADP work properly in this process.
- When they removed HN1L from certain T cells, it made it harder for them to produce these calcium signals quickly, showing that HN1L plays a crucial role in T cell activation.
Article Abstract
NAADP-evoked Ca release through type 1 ryanodine receptors (RYR1) is a major mechanism underlying the earliest signals in T cell activation, which are the formation of Ca microdomains. In our characterization of the molecular machinery underlying NAADP action, we identified an NAADP-binding protein, called hematological and neurological expressed 1-like protein (HN1L) [also known as Jupiter microtubule-associated homolog 2 (JPT2)]. Gene deletion of in human Jurkat and primary rat T cells resulted in decreased numbers of initial Ca microdomains and delayed the onset and decreased the amplitude of global Ca signaling. Photoaffinity labeling demonstrated direct binding of NAADP to recombinant HN1L/JPT2. T cell receptor/CD3-dependent coprecipitation of HN1L/JPT2 with RYRs and colocalization of these proteins suggest that HN1L/JPT2 connects NAADP formation with the activation of RYR channels within the first seconds of T cell activation. Thus, HN1L/JPT2 enables NAADP to activate Ca release from the endoplasmic reticulum through RYR.

NAADP is one of the most potent calcium mobilizing second messengers. Only recently, two NAADP-binding proteins have been identified: HN1L/JPT2 and LSM12. Further, ASPDH was suggested as a less selective binding partner.

In tumor cells with defects in apoptosis, autophagy allows prolonged survival. Autophagy leads to an accumulation of damaged mitochondria by autophagosomes. An acidic environment is maintained in compartments of cells, such as autophagosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes; these organelles belong to the "acid store" of the cells.

Calcium (Ca) signaling and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) signaling are two basic signal regulation pathways in organisms, playing crucial roles in signal transduction, energy metabolism, stress tolerance, and various developmental processes. Notably, calmodulins (CaMs) and NAD kinases (NADKs) are important hubs for connecting these two types of signaling networks, where CaMs are the unique activators of NADKs. NADK is a key enzyme for NADP (including NADP and NADPH) biosynthesis by phosphorylating NAD (including NAD and NADH) and therefore, maintains the balance between NAD pool and NADP pool through an allosteric regulation mode.

The neurotransmitter glutamate increases cerebral blood flow by activating postsynaptic neurons and presynaptic glial cells within the neurovascular unit. Glutamate does so by causing an increase in intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca ] ) in the target cells, which activates the Ca /Calmodulin-dependent nitric oxide (NO) synthase to release NO. It is unclear whether brain endothelial cells also sense glutamate through an elevation in [Ca ] and NO production.
