CD38, a multifunctional enzyme, generates two potent Ca2+-releasing signal metabolites, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and NAADP+, thereby upmodulating many important Ca2+-mediated cell functions. A topological paradox has long been recognized, as CD38 is an ectoenzyme, or an intravesicularly located enzyme in subcellular membrane vesicles, therefore apparently shielded from its substrate NAD+. Moreover, cADPR generated by CD38 should be unavailable to its target Ca2+ stores, the ryanodine receptors (RyR). We have solved this paradox by identifying some NAD+ and cADPR transmembrane transporters, whose interplay mediates a hitherto-unrecognized subcellular and intercellular trafficking of nucleotides that enhances intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). Connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels mediate an equilibrative transport of NAD+ from the cytosol to the active site of CD38 (either ectocellular or intravesicular). Subsequent translocation of in situ-generated cADPR to reach the RyR is performed, (i) by CD38 itself (concentrative) or ( ii) by nucleoside transporters (NT) (one equilibrative and three concentrative). Besides this autocrine mechanism, the same transporters also mediate intercellular (paracrine) trafficking. Thus, Cx43+ and CD38+ cells can provide cADPR to neighboring RyR+ parenchymal cells and enhance their [Ca2+]i levels and Ca2+-dependent functions accordingly. Examples of cADPR-responsive cells via paracrine processes include (i) smooth myocytes, (ii) 3T3 murine fibroblasts, (iii) hippocampal neurons, and (iv) human hemopoietic stem cells.

Key Words: intracellular Ca2+ • CD38 • BST-1/CD157 • NAD+ • cyclic ADP-ribose • connexin 43 hemichannels • nucleoside transporters • autocrine mechanisms of Ca2+signaling • paracrine mechanisms of Ca2+signaling • 3T3 murine fibroblasts; hemopoietic stem cells
