Summary: | Intracellular Ca
levels are changed by influx from extracellular medium and release from intracellular stores. In the central nervous systems, Ca
release is involved in various physiological events, such as neuronal excitability and transmitter release. Although stable Ca
release in response to stimulus is critical for proper functions of the nervous systems, regulatory mechanisms relating to Ca
release are not fully understood in central neurons. Here, we demonstrate that ShcB, an adaptor protein expressed in central neurons, has an essential role in functional maintenance of Ca
store in cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs). ShcB-knockout (KO) mice showed defects in cerebellar-dependent motor function and long-term depression (LTD) at cerebellar synapse. The reduced LTD was accompanied with an impairment of intracellular Ca
release. Although the expression of Ca
release channels and morphology of Ca
store looked intact, content of intracellular Ca
store and activity of sarco/endoplasmic reticular Ca
-ATPase (SERCA) were largely decreased in the ShcB-deficient cerebellum. Furthermore, when ShcB was ectopically expressed in the ShcB-KO PCs, the Ca
release and its SERCA-dependent component were restored. These data indicate that ShcB plays a key role in the functional maintenance of ER Ca
store in central neurons through regulation of SERCA activity. |
