Zusammenfassung:About 30 years after their first observation, Ca2+ oscillations are now recognised as a universal mechanism of signal transduction. These oscillations are driven by periodic cycles of release and uptake of Ca2+ between the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum. Their frequency often increases with the level of stimulation, which can be decoded by some molecules. However, it is becoming increasingly evident that the widespread core oscillatory mechanism is modulated in many ways, depending on the cell type and on the physiological conditions. Interplay with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate metabolism and with other Ca2+ stores as the extracellular medium or mitochondria can much affect the properties of these oscillations. In many cases, these finely tuned characteristics of Ca2+ oscillations impact the physiological response that is triggered by the signal. Moreover, oscillations are intrinsically irregular. This randomness can also be exploited by the cell. In this review, we discuss evidences of these additional manifestations of the versatility of Ca2+ signalling.
