Physiological intracellular Ca2+ signals, mediated by the messenger nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), depend on the very same proton pump and TPCs. Two hitherto completely separate research fields, namely molecular virology and cellular Ca2+ signaling physiology are now coming together, creating exciting new research opportunities. • • Trafficking of Endosomes and Phagosomes: Geometry, Force and Cholesterol • Roop Mallik, PhD • Uptake of material from the external world by endocytosis/phagocytosis supplies nutrients to cells, and is also critical for cell signaling. The journey of endosomes/phagosomes begins at the cell periphery and ends at lysosomes near the cell center. I will discuss how the balance of forces generated by antagonistic motor proteins guides this journey, and how lipids are emerging as a master-controller of this balance. • • Calcium Buffering • Erwin Neher, FRS • Researchers use calcium-chelators (buffers) to manipulate levels of free intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and to shape Calcium signals. Unlike pH buffers, which are used to strictly control pH levels, calcium buffers inside a living cell may not influence the steady-state level of [Ca2+]i at all, but rather slow-down [Ca2+]i-changes induced either endogenously or by the experimenter. Such properties and their consequences on Ca2+-imaging will be discussed.
