“…Our screen identified BARP and inositolrequiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α) as α6β4 enhancers. BARP is a single-pass transmembrane protein that was first identified in association with voltage-gated calcium channel β subunits (14) and was later found as an accessory component of α6β2β3 nAChRs (13), while IRE1α is a constituent of the unfolded protein response (UPR) (15). We found that the efficacy of nicotinic agonists to treat neuropathic pain best correlates with their activity on α6β4 receptors.…”

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) represent the sole mechanism to convert membrane depolarization into cellular functions like secretion, contraction, or gene regulation. VGCCs consist of a pore-forming α1 subunit and several auxiliary channel subunits. These subunits come in multiple isoforms and splice-variants giving rise to a stunning molecular diversity of possible subunit combinations. It is generally believed that specific auxiliary subunits differentially regulate the channels and thereby contribute to the great functional diversity of VGCCs. If auxiliary subunits can associate and dissociate from pre-existing channel complexes, this would allow dynamic regulation of channel properties. However, most auxiliary subunits modulate current properties very similarly, and proof that any cellular calcium channel function is indeed modulated by the physiological exchange of auxiliary subunits is still lacking. In this review we summarize available information supporting a differential modulation of calcium channel functions by exchange of auxiliary subunits, as well as experimental evidence in support of alternative functions of the auxiliary subunits. At the heart of the discussion is the concept that, in their native environment, VGCCs function in the context of macromolecular signaling complexes and that the auxiliary subunits help to orchestrate the diverse protein–protein interactions found in these calcium channel signalosomes. Thus, in addition to a putative differential modulation of current properties, differential subcellular targeting properties and differential protein–protein interactions of the auxiliary subunits may explain the need for their vast molecular diversity.

“…This integral membrane glycoprotein is predominantly expressed in neurons and neuropeptide secretory cells. In fact, high BARP mRNA levels were located in brain, pancreatic islets and neuroendocrine cell lines (MIN6 and PC12), with no or weak expression in other tissues [88]. Interestingly, in the brain and cerebellum, BARP co-immunoprecipitated with Ca v β 3 and Ca v β 4 but not with Ca v β 1 suggesting that BARP may associate with specific Ca v β in particular sub-cellular domains of neurons.…”

Calcium plays a key role in cell signalling by its intervention in a wide range of physiological processes. Its entry into cells occurs mainly via voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), which are found not only in the plasma membrane of excitable cells but also in cells insensitive to electrical signals. VGCC are composed of different subunits, α1, β, α2δ and γ, among which the cytosolic β subunit (Cavβ) controls the trafficking of the channel to the plasma membrane, its regulation and its gating properties. For many years, these were the main functions associated with Cavβ. However, a growing number of proteins have been found to interact with Cavβ, emphasizing the multifunctional role of this versatile protein. Interestingly, some of the newly assigned functions of Cavβ are independent of its role in the regulation of VGCC, and thus further increase its functional roles. Based on the identity of Cavβ protein partners, this review emphasizes the diverse cellular functions of Cavβ and summarizes both past findings as well as recent progress in the understanding of VGCC.
