Endomembranes modify the progression of the cytosolic Ca2+ wave and contribute to generate Ca2+ microdomains, both in the cytosol and inside the own organella. The concentration of Ca2+ in the cytosol ([Ca2+]C), the mitochondria ([Ca2+]M) and the nucleus ([Ca2+]N) are similar at rest, but may become very different during cell activation. Mitochondria avidly take up Ca2+ from the high [Ca2+]C microdomains generated during cell activation near Ca2+ channels of the plasma membrane and/or the endomembranes and prevent propagation of the high Ca2+ signal to the bulk cytosol. This shaping of [Ca2+]C signaling is essential for independent regulation of compartmentalized cell functions. On the other hand, a high [Ca2+]M signal is generated selectively in the mitochondria close to the active areas, which tunes up respiration to the increased local needs. The progression of the [Ca2+]C signal to the nucleus may be dampened by mitochondria, the nuclear envelope or higher buffering power inside the nucleoplasm. On the other hand, selective [Ca2+]N signals could be generated by direct release of stored Ca2+ into the nucleoplasm. Ca2+ release could even be restricted to subnuclear domains. Putative Ca2+ stores include the nuclear envelope, their invaginations inside the nucleoplasm (nucleoplasmic reticulum) and nuclear microvesicles. Inositol trisphosphate, cyclic ADP-ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate have all been reported to produce release of Ca2+ into the nucleoplasm, but contribution of these mechanisms under physiological conditions is still uncertain.
