Introduction

Voltage dependent calcium channels (VDCC) auxiliary beta (Cavb1–4) and alpha2delta (Cava2d1–4) subunits associate with the alpha1 functional subunits (for review see Walker and De Waard, 1998 [1279]) and affect the biophysical properties of the alpha1 subunits as observed for the auxiliary subunits of voltage-dependent sodium and potassium channels (for review see Isom et al., 1994 [1247]; Trimmer, 1998 [1280]).

Structure

High-voltage–activated calcium channels are comprised of a pore-forming alpha1 subunit, auxiliary beta and alpha2delta subunits, and, in some cases, an auxiliary gamma subunit (for review see Catterall, 2000 [477]).

The b subunit has been shown to interact with alpha1 subunit interaction domain (AID) in the cytoplasmic I-II linker of alpha1 subunit (Pragnell et al., 1994 [1290]; Witcher et al., 1995 [1291]), and all four beta subunits interacted with AID of Cav2.2-alpha-1 in vitro with high affinity (Kd of 5nM; Scott et al., 1996 [1292]).

Function

It has been shown that b auxiliary subunits increase current amplitude in voltage-dependent calcium channels (Mori et al., 1991; Neely et al., 1993 [1241]; Wakamori et al., 1993 [1286]; Jones et al., 1998 [1266]; Klugbauer et al., 1999 [1289]). However, Yasuda et al. [92] found a novel inhibitory effect of b3 subunit on macroscopic Ba2+ currents through recombinant N- and R-type calcium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes.

Coexpression of beta subunits enhanced the level of channel expression in the plasma membrane (Williams et al., 1992 [1281]; Brust et al., 1993 [1282]) by chaperoning the translocation of alpha1 subunits (Chien et al., 1995 [1261]; Yamaguchi et al., 1998 [238]; Gao et al., 1999 [1283]; Gerster et al., 1999 [1284]) from ER where beta subunits antagonize the binding between alpha1 and an ER retention protein (Bichet et al., 2000 [1285]). In addition, beta subunits also increased channel open probability without affecting single-channel conductance (Neely et al., 1993 [1221]; Wakamori et al., 1993 [1286], 1999 [1287]; Jones et al., 1998 [1266]; Gerster et al., 1999 [1284]; Hohaus et al., 2000 [1288]). A hyperpolarizing shift of I-V relationships by beta subunits (Neely et al., 1993 [1241]; Yamaguchi et al., 1998 [238]) also partially contributes to an increase in macroscopic current amplitude.
