What are the functions of free calcium in the nucleus and nuclei as a regulation factor for transcription? How does it work? Has somebody done projects related to Ca in the nucleus?
Hi Arash, I have attached an apposite commentary article for your review. Go through it
Well, I am actually currently working in a calcium binding protein named DREAM, which is a calcium regulated transcriptional repressor. It is so far, the only one to regulate gene expression in a calcium dependent manner by directly binding to DNA. You can view my profile for some papers.
Also, calmodulin has been shown to translocate to the nucleous upon increase in cytosolic calcium. Inside the nucleous CaM can regulate CREB processes.
Hello Arash, i hope the following link can also useful for you .....

Thanks for answers.
@Dear Abhishek, Unfortunately I couldn't access the article that you linked!
@Dear Walter, it is really useful detail for me. and for your studies you use only florescent microscope or also another techniques?
@Dear Raghavendra, I read this article but I am looking to function of calcium in the general concept in all cells and in this article that you link (and it is really interesting) they studied only Neurons.
Hi Arash,
Here by i'm sending both pubmed and journal links of the paper attached by Mr.Abhishek hope now you can access and it's really a good commentary article which may helpful for you....
all the best

Hi,
we did some work on calcium signaling in neurons in 2007, here is the link:
