Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) has been shown to enhance native voltage-dependent calcium channel (Cav) currents both in myocytes and in neurons; however, the mechanism(s) responsible for this regulation were not known. Here we show that PI3K promotes the translocation of GFP-tagged Cav channels to the plasma membrane in both COS-7 cells and neurons. We show that the effect of PI3K is mediated by Akt/PKB and specifically requires Cavβ2 subunits. The mutations S574A and S574E in Cavβ2a prevented and mimicked, respectively, the effect of PI3K/Akt-PKB, indicating that phosphorylation of Ser574 on Cavβ2a is necessary and sufficient to promote Cav channel trafficking.Keywords
