Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in growth, development, stress resilience, and epigenetic modifications of plants. However, the effect of calcium (Ca2+) deficiency on miRNA expression in the orphan crop tef (Eragrostis tef) remains unknown. In this study, we analyzed expression of miRNAs in roots and shoots of tef in response to Ca2+ treatment. miRNA-seq followed by bioinformatic analysis allowed us to identify a large number of small RNAs (sRNAs) ranging from 17 to 35 nt in length. A total of 1380 miRNAs were identified in tef experiencing long-term Ca2+ deficiency while 1495 miRNAs were detected in control plants. Among the miRNAs identified in this study, 161 miRNAs were similar with those previously characterized in other plant species and 348 miRNAs were novel, while the remaining miRNAs were uncharacterized. Putative target genes and their functions were predicted for all the known and novel miRNAs that we identified. Based on gene ontology (GO) analysis, the predicted target genes are known to have various biological and molecular functions including calcium uptake and transport. Pairwise comparison of differentially expressed miRNAs revealed that some miRNAs were specifically enriched in roots or shoots of low Ca2+-treated plants. Further characterization of the miRNAs and their targets identified in this study may help in understanding Ca2+ deficiency responses in tef and related orphan crops.

Abstract
As it is known that ryanodine receptor type 3 is expressed in the hippocampus, we examined the contribution of this receptor to contextual fear conditioning behavior and to the activation of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II using mice lacking the receptor. Ryanodine receptor type 3-deficient mice exhibited impairments of performance in the contextual fear conditioning test, passive avoidance test, and Y-maze learning test. Both the activities of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIbeta and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIalpha were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group in the hippocampus, but not in the cingulate cortex on the testing day 24 h after contextual fear training. However, the activities of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIbeta and alpha were almost the same in the experimental and control groups in the hippocampus on the training day. Ryanodine receptor type 3-deficient mice did not show the increment of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIbeta and alpha activities in the hippocampus on the testing day. In addition, these mutant mice showed the reduction of fear response in the elevated plus-maze test. The present results suggest that calcium-induced calcium release through the activation of ryanodine receptor type 3 in the hippocampus is important to the expression of the performance of contextual learning through the elevation of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIbeta and alpha activities.

Abstract
Although it is known that ryanodine receptor type 3 is expressed in the striatum, the function of this receptor has not been elucidated. Therefore, we examined whether caffeine- and ryanodine-induced dopamine release in striatal slices is affected in mice lacking ryanodine receptor type 3. Pretreatment with thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the Ca(2+) ATPase pump of the endoplasmic reticulum, abolished caffeine- or ryanodine-induced dopamine release in slices from normal mice. Dopamine concentration in the striatum and KCl-induced dopamine release were unaffected by a ryanodine receptor type 3 deficiency. Ryanodine-induced dopamine release was significantly attenuated in mice lacking ryanodine receptor type 3, whereas caffeine-induced dopamine release was partially attenuated. Caffeine produced a similar hyper-motor activity in both wild and homozygous mice. The present results suggest the involvement of ryanodine receptor type 3 in dopamine release from the striatum.

Abstract
1. Histamine stimulated the accumulation of total [3H]-inositol phosphates (IPn) in control HeLa cells with an EC50 of 3.7 +/- 0.7 microM in the presence of 10 mM LiCl. The maximum response to histamine after 15 min incubation was 43 +/- 5% over basal accumulation and occurred at a concentration of 1 mM histamine. 2. The histamine-induced IPn production in HeLa cells was confirmed as H1 receptor-mediated, since the H1 antagonist mepyramine (10(-6) M) inhibited the histamine response (10(-4) M) by 83 +/- 7%, whereas the H2 antagonist, ranitidine (10(-4) M), and H3 antagonist, thioperamide (10(-6) M), were ineffective. 3. Histamine (10(-4) M) pretreatment of HeLa cells for 30 min desensitized the subsequent histamine-induced IPn accumulation. The desensitized cells accumulated IPn in response to histamine with an EC50 of 1.7 +/- 0.7 microM after 15 min incubation. The maximum histamine-induced IPn accumulation at 10(-4) M was 19 +/- 5% over basal and was significantly lower (P < 0.03) than the maximum response in control cells. 4. The desensitization of histamine-induced IPn accumulation was time-dependent and, at a desensitizing histamine concentration of 10(-4) M, the half-maximal attenuation occurred after approximately 9 min and maximum desensitization was achieved by 15-20 min. The desensitization of the IPn accumulation was a reversible phenomenon and full recovery of the response occurred 150 min after the removal of the desensitizing histamine-containing medium. The half-time for the recovery of the histamine-induced response was estimated at 120 min. 5. Bradykinin stimulated IPn, accumulation in HeLa cells, and the ECm in control cells of 1.9 +/- 0.2 nM was not significantly different from the EC50 value from histamine-pretreated cells of 1.6 +/- 0.9 nM. The bradykinin response at 1 microM was 194 +/- 48% over basal IPn accumulation in control cells and this value was significantly different (P <0.04) from the 1 microM bradykinin-induced IPn accumulation in histamine pretreated HeLa cells of 143 +/- 38% over basal.6. NaF stimulated IP,, accumulation in control HeLa cells in a dose-related manner, with the maximum effect occurring at 15-20 mM. The EC50 value for NaF-stimulated IPn accumulation in control cells was 10.5 +/- 1.1 mm and the maximum response was 136 +/- 41% over basal after 20 min incubation. In histamine desensitized HeLa cells the EC50 value for NaF was 12.3 +/- 0.4 mM after 20 min stimulation,which was not significantly different from the value obtained in control cells. The maximum NaF stimulated IPn formation in desensitized cells of 68 +/- 23% over basal occurred at 15 -20 mM and was significantly lower (P<0.01) than that obtained in control cells.7. We show here that the acute histamine pretreatment of HeLa cells results in the desensitization of histamine H1 receptor-mediated IPn production. The desensitization was not restricted to the H1 receptor-mediated signal transduction pathway, but also includes both the bradykinin- and NaF mediated responses, supporting a heterologous desensitization mechanism. Our results are consistent with the site of attenuation being at or distal to the G-protein and the underlying mechanism being a slowed time-course for the production of inositol phosphates.

Abstract
Many cell membrane receptors stimulate the phosphoinositide (PI) cycle, which produces complex intracellular calcium signals that regulate diverse processes such as secretion and transcription. A major messenger of this cycle, inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3), stimulates its receptor channel on the endoplasmic reticulum to release calcium into the cytosol. Activation of the PI cycle also induces calcium influx, which refills the intracellular calcium stores. Confocal microscopy was used to show that receptor-activated calcium influx, enhanced by hyperpolarization, modulates the frequency and velocity of IP3-dependent calcium waves in Xenopus laevis oocytes. These results demonstrate that transmembrane voltage and calcium influx pathways may regulate spatial and temporal patterns of IP3-dependent calcium release.

Abstract
Cytosolic calcium oscillations occur in a wide variety of cells and are involved in different cellular functions. We describe these calcium oscillations by a mathematical model based on the putative electrophysiological properties of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. The salient features of our membrane model are calcium-dependent calcium channels and calcium pumps in the ER membrane, constant entry of calcium into the cytosol, calcium dependent removal from the cytosol, and buffering by cytoplasmic calcium binding proteins. Numerical integration of the model allows us to study the fluctuations in the cytosolic calcium concentration, the ER membrane potential, and the concentration of free calcium binding sites on a calcium binding protein. The model demonstrates the physiological features necessary for calcium oscillations and suggests that the level of calcium flux into the cytosol controls the frequency and amplitude of oscillations. The model also suggests that the level of buffering affects the frequency and amplitude of the oscillations. The model is supported by experiments indirectly measuring cytosolic calcium by calcium-induced chloride currents in Xenopus oocytes as well as cytosolic calcium oscillations observed in other preparations.

Abstract
Bradykinin is one of several pro-inflammatory, pain-inducing substances produced during inflammation--the body's response to injury. In previous work we have shown that bradykinin and guanosine-5'-O-3-thiotriphosphate increase excitability in a subpopulation of cultured neonatal rat dorsal root ganglion neurons. We now describe experiments in which the mechanism underlying the stimulatory action of these two substances has been examined in more detail. Using the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique, bradykinin-sensitive cells were distinguished by their response to a 1-s depolarizing voltage-pulse which evoked more than one inward current during the step command. The secondary inward currents are likely to represent action potentials generated at the poorly clamped neurites of these cells. Bradykinin- and guanosine-5'-O-3-thiotriphosphate-induced changes in excitability were measured indirectly by a change in the number of inward currents recorded during the 1-s depolarizing voltage-step. The effect of activators and inhibitors of protein kinase C, arachidonic acid metabolism, G-protein activation and release of intracellular Ca2+ were examined on this response. In the presence of extracellular staurosporine (1.0 microM) or nordihydroguaiaretic acid (10 microM), these excitatory effects were reduced but not abolished, whilst indomethacin (20 microM) had no effect. Intracellular application of guanosine-5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate (10 mM) or ryanodine (100 microM) substantially reduced the effect of bradykinin. The excitatory effect of internal guanosine-5'-O-3-thiotriphosphate (500 microM) occurred gradually over time, and this was mimicked by internal application of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate (1.0 microM). From the results, it is proposed that G-protein activation is an essential component of the bradykinin response, which may also require a Ca(2+)-activated conductance modulated by protein kinase C and lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid.

Abstract
Microinjection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) into Xenopus oocytes evokes a complex physiological response composed of a transient and a slow depolarizing chloride current. We investigated the relationship between intracellular levels of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the kinetics of the physiological response. Microinjected Ins(1,4,5)P3 was slowly degraded following first order kinetics of disappearance (t1/2 = 10 min). The degradation products were inositol bisphosphate (InsP2), inositol monophosphate (InsP) and inositol, as well as inositol tetrakisphosphate (InsP4). The rate of degradation of injected 3[H]-Ins(1,4)P2 was much greater (t1/2 = 3 min), indicating that the conversion of InsP3 to InsP2 may be the rate-limiting step in the degradation process. The slow degradation of 3[H]-Ins(1,4,5)P3 was not a result of its conversion to Ins(1,3,4)P3 since no accumulation of InsP3 was observed within 10 min of microinjection of 3[H]-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Activation of protein kinase C (PK-C) with a phorbol ester transiently increased the rate of conversion of 3[H]-Ins(1,4,5)P3 to InsP2. This, however, did not significantly affect the overall kinetics of 3[H]-Ins(1,4,5)P3 disappearance. Our results indicate that the kinetics of Ins(1,4,5)P3 degradation do not correlate well with the termination of both the rapid and the slow components of the physiological response. The termination of the slow component of the response, however, may be related to the decay of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced 45Ca efflux, which lasted about 10 min.

Abstract
Biological excitability enables the rapid transmission of physiological signals over distance. Using confocal fluorescence microscopy, we previously reported circular, planar, and spiral waves of Ca2+ in Xenopus laevis oocytes that annihilated one another upon collision. We present experimental evidence that the excitable process underlying wave propagation depends on Ca2+ diffusion and does not require oscillations in inositol (1,4,5)trisphosphate (IP3) concentration. Extending an existing ordinary differential equation (ODE) model of Ca2+ oscillations to two spatial dimensions, we develop a partial differential equation (PDE) model of Ca2+ excitability. The model assumes that cytosolic Ca2+ couples neighboring Ca2+ release sites. This simple PDE model qualitatively reproduces our experimental observations.

Abstract
Limulus ventral photoreceptors contain calcium stores sensitive to release by D-myo-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (InsP3) and a calcium-activated conductance that depolarizes the cell. Mechanisms that terminate the response to InsP3 were investigated using nonmetabolizable DL-myo-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphorothioate (InsPS3). An injection of 1 mM InsPS3 into a photoreceptor's light-sensitive lobe caused an initial elevation of cytosolic free calcium ion concentration (Cai) and a depolarization lasting only 1-2 s. A period of densensitization followed, during which injections of InsPS3 were ineffective. As sensitivity recovered, oscillations of membrane potential began, continuing for many minutes with a frequency of 0.07-0.3 Hz. The activity of InsPS3 probably results from the D-stereoisomer, since L-InsP3 was much less effective than InsP3. Injections of 1 mM InsP3 caused an initial depolarization and a period of densensitization similar to that caused by 1 mM InsPS3, but no sustained oscillations of membrane potential. The initial response to InsPS3 or InsP3 may therefore be terminated by densensitization, rather than by metabolism. Metabolism of InsP3 may prevent oscillations of membrane potential after sensitivity has recovered. The InsPS3-induced oscillations of membrane potential accompanied oscillations of Cai and were abolished by injection of ethyleneglycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid. Removal of extracellular calcium reduced the frequency of oscillation but not its amplitude. Under voltage clamp, oscillations of inward current were observed. These results indicate that periodic bursts of calcium release underly the oscillations of membrane potential. After each burst, the sensitivity of the cell to injected InsP3 was greatly reduced, recovering during the interburst interval. The oscillations may, therefore, result in part from a periodic variation in sensitivity to a constant concentration of InsPS3. Prior injection of calcium inhibited depolarization by InsPS3, suggesting that feedback inhibition of InsPS3-induced calcium release by elevated Cai may mediate desensitization between bursts and after injections of InsPS3.

Abstract
This review focuses on the inositol phosphate/Ca2+ signalling pathway in Xenopus oocytes. The known characteristics of the individual elements of this cascade--from the membrane receptors to the intracellular Ca2+ stores--will be covered. Based on this knowledge, a simple model will then try to account for the behaviour of the newly recognized oscillations of free intracellular Ca2+ and propagated Ca2+ waves. Finally, some of the potential physiological functions of the inositol phosphate pathway will be summarized. Although there is no systematic attempt to contrast the findings in the oocyte to those in other cells, the readers of this journal will not fail to notice a high degree of similarity. Although this may seem unexciting at first, it suggests that the inositol phosphate signalling pathway may be strikingly conserved across species.

Abstract
Microinjection of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate into voltage-clamped Xenopus laevis oocytes or the stimulation of the phosphatidylinositol cycle elicits a complex Ca2(+)-dependent Cl- current pattern. Microinjection of myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate causes an immediate release of Ca2+, but elicits a different Cl- current pattern than myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. We have studied the effects of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate, which can not be converted to myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. Myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate caused an immediate release of intracellular Ca2+, as measured by fura-2 imaging. Myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate generated a Cl- current pattern similar to myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, not myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.

Abstract
Electrically permeabilised [3H]inositol-labelled SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were employed to examine the effects of two synthetic, phosphatase-resistant analogues of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] on the metabolism of cell membrane-derived [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 or exogenous [5-32P]Ins(1,4,4)P3. Incubation of permeabilised SH-SY5Y cells for 5 min at 37 degrees C with carbachol and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate caused a decrease in [3H]phosphoinositol phospholipid levels and an increase in [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation with inositol 4-phosphate, inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, Ins(1,4,5)P3 and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate comprising approximately 79%, 16%, 3% and 2%, respectively, of the increase. Inositol 1-phosphate levels did not increase upon stimulation, nor was inositol 4-phosphate converted rapidly to inositol. In parallel incubations, the analogues, DL-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate (DL-InsP3S3) and DL-inositol 1,4-bisphosphate 5-phosphorothioate (DL-InsP3S), and synthetic racemic Ins(1,4,5)P3 (DL-InsP3), altered the profile of the [3H]inositol phosphates recovered and led, at millimolar concentrations, to a 10-15-fold increase in [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3. The extent of inhibition of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism was, however, greatest in the presence of synthetic D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 (greater than or equal to 5 mM), when [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 comprised approximately 50% of the increase in total [3H]inositol phosphates. Thus, under these conditions, at least 50% of [3H]inositol phosphates were derived from [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. [32P]Pi release from exogenous [5-32P]Ins(1,4,5)P3 was also inhibited by DL-InsP3S3, DL-InsP3S and DL-InsP3, with half-maximal inhibition at approximately 50 microM, 160 microM and 240 microM respectively. These actions were approximately ten times more potent than the effects of these compounds on [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation, indicating that homogenous mixing of exogenous and cell-membrane-derived Ins(1,4,5)P3 does not occur. These findings indicate that DL-InsP3S3 and DL-InsP3S inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. In contrast, the effects of synthetic DL-InsP3 and D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 are due to isotopic dilution. Whilst DL-InsP3S3 was the most potent inhibitor of dephosphorylation of exogenous or cell-membrane-derived Ins(1,4,5)P3, it was the weakest inhibitor of 3-kinase-catalysed Ins(1,4,5)P3 phosphorylation. Similarly, although approximately 50 times less potent than DL-InsP3S3, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate inhibited Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase activity and was apparently without effect of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Agonists that utilize the calcium-mobilizing second messenger inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate Ins(1,4,5)P3 usually generate oscillations in intracellular calcium. Such oscillations, based on the periodic release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum, can also be induced by injecting cells with Ins(1,4,5)P3. The mechanism responsible for oscillatory activity was studied in Xenopus oocytes by injecting them with different inositol trisphosphates. The plasma membrane of Xenopus oocytes has calcium-dependent chloride channels that open in response to calcium, leading to membrane depolarization. Oscillations in calcium were thus monitored by recording membrane potential. The naturally occurring Ins(1,4,5)P3 produced a large initial transient followed by a single transient or a burst of oscillations. By contrast, two analogues (Ins(2,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,4,5)P(S)3) produced a different oscillatory pattern made up of a short burst of sharp transients. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 had no effect when injected by itself, and it also failed to modify the oscillatory responses to either Ins(2,4,5)P3 or Ins(1,4,5)P(S)3. Both analogues failed to induce a response when injected immediately after the initial Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced response, indicating that they act on the same intracellular pool of calcium. The existence of different oscillatory patterns suggests that there may be different mechanisms for setting up calcium oscillations. The Ins(2,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,4,5)P(S)3 analogues may initiate oscillations through a negative feedback mechanism whereby calcium inhibits its own release. The two-pool model is the most likely mechanism to describe the Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced oscillations.

Abstract
The effectiveness of the nonmetabolizable second messenger analogue DL-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate (IPS3) described by Cooke, A. M., R. Gigg, and B. V. L. Potter, (1987b. Jour. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1525-1526.) was examined in triads purified from rabbit skeletal muscle. A Ca2+ electrode uptake-release assay was used to determine the size and sensitivity of the IPS3-releasable pool of Ca2+ in isolated triads. Uptake was initiated by 1 mM MgATP, pCa 5.8, pH 7.5 Release was initiated when the free Ca2+ had lowered to pCa approximately 7. We found that 5-25 microM myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), and separately IPS3, consistently released 5-20% of the Ca2+ pool actively loaded into triads. Single channel recording was used to determine if ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels were affected by IPS3 at the same myoplasmic Ca2+ and IPS3 concentrations. Open probability of ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels was monitored in triads fused to bilayers over long periods (200 s) in the absence and following addition of 30 microM IPS3 to the same channel. At myoplasmic pCa approximately 7, IPS3 had no effect in the absence of MgATP (Po = 0.0094 +/- 0.001 in control and Po = 0.01 +/- 0.006 after IPS3) and slightly increased activity in the presence of 1 mM MgATP (Po = 0.024 +/- 0.03 in control and Po = 0.05 +/- 0.03 after IPS3). Equally small effects were observed at higher myoplasmic Ca2+. The onset of channel activation by IPS3 or IP3 was slow, on the time scale 20-60 s. We suggest that in isolated triads of rabbit skeletal muscle, IP3-induced release of stored Ca2+ is probably not mediated by the opening of Ca2+ release channels.

Abstract
An explanation of the complex effects of hormones on intracellular Ca2+ requires that the intracellular actions of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the relationships between intracellular Ca2+ stores are fully understood. We have examined the kinetics of 45Ca2+ efflux from pre-loaded intracellular stores after stimulation with Ins(1,4,5)P3 or the stable phosphorothioate analogue, Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3, by simultaneous addition of one of them with glucose/hexokinase to rapidly deplete the medium of ATP. Under these conditions, a maximal concentration of either Ins(1,4,5)P3 or Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 evoked rapid efflux of about half of the accumulated 45Ca2+, and thereafter the efflux was the same as occurred under control conditions. Submaximal concentrations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 or Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 caused a smaller rapid initial efflux of 45Ca2+, after which the efflux was similar whatever the concentration of Ins(1,4,5)P3 or Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 present. The failure of submaximal concentrations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 to mobilize fully the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ stores despite prolonged incubation was not due either to inactivation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 or to desensitization of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. The results suggest that the size of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitive Ca2+ stores depends upon the concentration of Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Abstract
IP(s)3, a metabolically stable analog of 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate (IP3), inhibited action potential firing when injected into hippocampal pyramidal cells. This effect was associated with decreased input resistance, a more negative resting potential, outward rectification at depolarized potentials, and an afterhyperpolarization. The response to IP(s)3 was unaffected by antagonists of Na+, Ca2+, and Cl- conductances, but was sensitive to changes in extracellular K+ concentration. The IP(s)3-induced conductance was voltage-dependent, was activated in 10 ms with depolarization, and was blocked by extracellular Ba2+ or intracellular Ca2+ chelation. It was not suppressed by other K+ conductance antagonists. Thus, IP(s)3 may activate a novel K+ conductance in CA1 pyramidal cells. IP3 itself did not elicit this conductance, suggesting it may be rapidly metabolized in these cells.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is a second messenger which regulates intracellular calcium both by mobilizing calcium from internal stores and, perhaps indirectly, by stimulating calcium entry. In these actions it may function with its phosphorylated metabolite, inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. The subtlety of calcium regulation by inositol phosphates is emphasized by recent studies that have revealed oscillations in calcium concentration which are perhaps part of a frequency-encoded second-messenger system.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of inositol lipids triggered by the occupation of cell surface receptors generates several intracellular messengers. Many different inositol phosphate isomers accumulate in stimulated cells. Of these D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins 1,4,5-P3) is responsible for discharging Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Specific membrane binding sites for Ins 1,4,5-P3 have been detected. The properties of these sites and their possible relationship to the calcium release process is reviewed. Ins 1,4,5-P3 binding sites may be present in discrete subcellular structures ("calciosomes"). Kinetic and some electrophysiological evidence indicates that Ins 1,4,5-P3 acts to open a Ca2+ channel. Recent progress on the purification of the receptor from neuronal tissues is summarized. Phosphorylation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 by a specific kinase results in the production of D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetraphosphate (Ins 1,3,4,5-P4). This inositol phosphate has been reported to increase the entry of Ca2+ across the plasma membrane, activate nonspecific ion channels in the plasma membrane, alter the Ca2+ content of the Ins 1,4,5-P3-releasable store, and bind to and alter the activity of certain enzymes. These data and the possible biological significance of Ins 1,3,4,5-P4 are discussed.

Abstract
We have examined the effects of various inositol polyphosphates, alone and in combination, on the Ca2+-activated K+ current in internally perfused, single mouse lacrimal acinar cells. We used the patch-clamp technique for whole-cell current recording with a set-up allowing exchange of the pipette solution during individual experiments so that control and test periods could be directly compared in individual cells. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins 1,4,5 P3) (10-100 microM) evoked a transient increase in the Ca2+-sensitive K+ current that was independent of the presence of Ca2+ in the external solution. The transient nature of the Ins 1,4,5 P3 effect was not due to rapid metabolic breakdown, as similar responses were obtained in the presence of 5 mM 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid, that blocks the hydrolysis of Ins 1,4,5 P3, as well as with the stable analogue DL-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate (Ins 1,4,5 P(S)3) (100 microM). Ins 1,3,4 P3 (50 microM) had no effect, whereas 50 microM Ins 2,4,5 P3 evoked responses similar to those obtained by 10 microM Ins 1,4,5 P3. A sustained increase in Ca2+-dependent K+ current was only observed when inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins 1,3,4,5 P4) (10 microM) was added to the Ins 1,4,5 P3 (10 microM)-containing solution and this effect could be terminated by removal of external Ca2+. The effect of Ins 1,3,4,5 P4 was specifically dependent on the presence of Ins 1,4,5 P3 as it was not found when 10 microM concentrations of Ins 1,3,4 P3 or Ins 2,4,5 P3 were used.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have measured Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ release in isolated permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells and in isolated membrane vesicles of endoplasmic reticulum prepared from these cells. Ca2+ uptake into cells was monitored with a Ca2+ electrode, whereas Ca2+ uptake into membrane vesicles was measured with 45Ca2+. Using inhibitors of known action, such as the H+ ATPase inhibitors NBD-Cl and NEM, the Ca2+ ATPase inhibitor vanadate as well as the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and its analog inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate (IPS3), we could functionally differentiate two nonmitochondrial Ca2+ pools. Ca2+ uptake into the IP3-sensitive Ca2+ pool (IsCaP) occurs by a MgATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake mechanism that exchanges Ca2+ for H+ ions. In the absence of ATP Ca2+ uptake can occur to some extent at the expense of an H+ gradient that is established by a vacuolar-type MgATP-dependent H+ pump present in the same organelle. The other Ca2+ pool takes up Ca2+ by a vanadate-sensitive Ca2+ ATPase and is insensitive to IP3 (IisCaP). The IsCaP is filled at "higher" Ca2+ concentrations (approximately 10(-6) mol/liter) which may occur during stimulation. The low steady-state [Ca2+] of approximately 10(-7) mol/liter is adjusted by the IisCaP. It is speculated that both Ca2+ pools can communicate with each other, the possible mechanism of which, however, is at present unknown.

Abstract
The evidence for and against an important role for inositol 1,3,4,5 tetrakisphosphate (Ins 1,3,4,5 P4) in receptor-mediated Ca2+ mobilization is reviewed. Data obtained from patch-clamp whole-cell current recording studies on internally perfused exocrine acinar cells show that the acetylcholine (ACh)-evoked sustained increase in Ca2+-dependent K+ current caused by an increase in [Ca2+]i cannot be mimicked by internal application of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins 1,4,5 P3), but only by a combination of Ins 1,4,5 P3 and Ins 1,3,4,5 P4. The sustained response evoked by Ins 1,4,5 P3 + Ins 1,3,4,5 P4 is dependent on the presence of external Ca2+ as is the effect of ACh. Only those inositol trisphosphates able to evoke Ca2+ release from internal stores can support the action of Ins 1,3,4,5 P4 in evoking responses that are acutely dependent on extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+ influx). The various arguments presented against an involvement of Ins 1,3,4,5 P4 are discussed. The main point emerging is that most studies are inadequately controlled and it is concluded that there is a strong need for whole-cell current recording studies combined with pipette fluid exchange to be carried out in many more systems. The major problem in this field is that the precise site and mechanism of action of Ins 1,3,4,5 P4 are unknown and that the pathway for Ca2+ uptake during receptor activation is inadequately defined.

Abstract
Many hormones, neurotransmitters and growth factors evoke in their target cells oscillations in the free internal Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i). In electrically non-excitable cells these fluctuations are due to periodic release of Ca2+ from intracellular reservoirs, stimulated by the internal messenger inositol trisphosphate (InsP3). Most models at present invoke fluctuating levels of InsP3 as a key component in generating the oscillations in [Ca2+]i. InsP3 injected into intact cells evokes irregular and transient oscillatory Ca2+-dependent current responses, but the intracellular InsP3 concentration is not constant in such experiments. Here we monitor changes in [Ca2+]i by measuring Ca2+-activated Cl- current in single internally perfused mouse pancreatic acinar cells and show that acetylcholine (ACh), acting through muscarinic receptors, evokes regular and repetitive current pulses which are mimicked by InsP3 applied through a patch pipette. To exclude the possibility that InsP3 is periodically phosphorylated or degraded, we replaced it by the non-metabolizable InsP3 analogue inositol trisphosphorothioate (InsPS3), which also evokes regular pulses of Ca2+-activated Cl- current. These effects are independent of external Ca2+, but abolished by high intracellular concentrations of a Ca2+-chelator. We conclude that repetitive pulses of intracellular Ca2+ release occur even when the concentration of InsP3 is constant.

Abstract
D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 is now recognized as an intracellular messenger that mediates the actions of many cell-surface receptors on intracellular Ca2+ pools, but its complex and rapid metabolism in intact cells has confused interpretation of its possible roles in oscillatory changes in intracellular [Ca2+] and in controlling Ca2+ entry at the plasma membrane. We now report the actions and metabolic stability of a synthetic analogue of Ins(1,4,5)P3, DL-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate [DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3]. In permeabilized hepatocytes, DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 and synthetic DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3 stimulated Ca2+ release from the same intracellular stores, though the concentration required for half-maximal release was 3-fold higher for DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3. Since L-Ins(1,4,5)P3 neither antagonized the effects of D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 nor itself stimulated appreciable Ca2+ release, the activity of the racemic mixture of Ins(1,4,5)P3, and presumably also of Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3, is attributable to the D-isomer. Under conditions where there was negligible metabolism of D-[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3, both DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3 and DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 elicited rapid Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, and the stores remained empty during prolonged stimulation. When cells were incubated at high density, both compounds stimulated rapid Ca2+ release, but while the stores soon refilled as Ins(1,4,5)P3 was degraded to Ins(1,4)P2, there was no refilling of the pools after stimulation with DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3. When DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3 or DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 was treated with a crude preparation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and ATP, and the Ca2+-releasing activity of the products subsequently assayed, DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3 was completely inactivated by phosphorylation, but there was no loss of activity of the phosphorothioate analogue. In additional experiments, DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 (10 microM) did not affect the rate of phosphorylation of D-[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 (1 microM). We conclude that Ins(1,4,5)P3[S]3 is a full agonist and only 3-fold less potent than Ins(1,4,5)P3 in mobilizing intracellular Ca2+ stores, but unlike the natural messenger it is resistant to both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. We propose that this stable analogue will allow the direct actions of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to be resolved from those that require its metabolism.

Abstract
The discovery that inositol lipids are fundamentally involved in cell signalling has been one of the most significant recent advances in cell biology. In particular, there is now evidence that certain products of polyphosphoinositide metabolism play second messenger roles in most cells. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and perhaps inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate bind to specific receptors and regulate Ca2+ release from, and movement between, intracellular stores. The synthesis of novel analogues of these second messengers is now providing clues to the structural requirements at such receptors as well as for molecules with stability towards metabolic enzymes. Stefan Nahorski and Barry Potter discuss these developments with a view to future pharmacological intervention at these sites.

Abstract
The effect of the myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) analogue, myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate (IPS3) on the dephosphorylation of D-5-[32P]IP3 by the 5-phosphatase from human erythrocyte membranes has been investigated. DL-IPS3 was found to act as a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 6 microM, making it the most potent inhibitor currently available for this enzyme. L-IP3 inhibited the enzyme with a Ki of 124 microM and was more potent than D-2,3-diphosphoglycerate (Ki 978 microM).

Abstract
D-Myo-inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphorothioate, a synthetic analogue of inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate was shown to bind with a relatively high affinity to specific sites on rat cerebellar membranes labelled with [3H]inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate. Use of this binding assay has also established that unlike the trisphosphate, the trisphosphorothioate is completely resistant to a specific 5-phosphatase prepared from human erythrocytes. The ability of this novel analogue to release intracellular Ca2+ has already been reported and it offers considerable potential in the investigation of phosphoinositide-linked receptors.

Abstract
Measurement of cytoplasmic free calcium, [Ca2+]i, in single human endothelial cells has shown that low doses of the inflammatory mediator histamine evoke asynchronous repetitive spikes in [Ca2+]i whereas high doses cause a maintained elevated [Ca2+]i. We discuss possible regulatory mechanisms, and the potential physiological and pathological implications of such a frequency-modulated [Ca2+]i signalling system.

Abstract
The stereo specificity of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] to mobilize Ca2+ from an intracellular store has been examined in permeabilized rat pituitary-tumour GH3 and Swiss 3T3 cells. A comparison of D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 with the synthetic enantiomer L-Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the racemate DL-Ins(1,4,5)P3 clearly demonstrates the marked stereospecificity of the response. Whereas D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 released 30-50% of non-mitochondrially-bound Ca2+ with a EC50 (concentration producing 50% of maximal response) of 200 nM, the L isomer was both substantially less potent and efficacious. A high concentration of the L isomer (10 microM) did not significantly shift the dose-response curve for the D isomer in Swiss 3T3 cells, suggesting that the less active isomer is probably a very weak agonist. Other studies revealed, in contrast with previous work, that the other naturally occurring isomer, D-Ins(1,3,4)P3, was essentially inactive in releasing Ca+, whereas a novel 5-phosphatase-resistant analogue, DL-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate, was a relatively potent full agonist in GH3 cells. These data reveal, for the first time, the stereoselectivity of the intracellular receptor associated with Ca2+ release. They also provide evidence for the activity of the novel phosphorothioate analogue of Ins(1,4,5)P3, but suggest that D-Ins(1,3,4)P3 is not involved in cellular Ca2+ mobilization.
