Parys JB, Lemos FO. The interplay between associated proteins, redox state and Ca 2+ in the intraluminal ER compartment regulates the IP 3 receptor. Cell Calcium 2024; 117:102823. [PMID: 37976974 DOI: 10.1016/j.ceca.2023.102823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
There have been in the last three decades repeated publications indicating that the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is regulated not only by cytosolic Ca2+ but also by intraluminal Ca2+. Although most studies indicated that a decreasing intraluminal Ca2+ level led to an inhibition of the IP3R, a number of publications reported exactly the opposite effect, i.e. an inhibition of the IP3R by high intraluminal Ca2+ levels. Although intraluminal Ca2+-binding sites on the IP3Rs were reported, a regulatory role for them was not demonstrated. It is also well known that the IP3R is regulated by a vast array of associated proteins, but only relatively recently proteins were identified that can be linked to the regulation of the IP3R by intraluminal Ca2+. The first to be reported was annexin A1 that is proposed to associate with the second intraluminal loop of the IP3R at high intraluminal Ca2+ levels and to inhibit the IP3R. More recently, ERdj5/PDIA19 reductase was described to reduce an intraluminal disulfide bridge of IP3R1 only at low intraluminal Ca2+ levels and thereby to inhibit the IP3R. Annexin A1 and ERdj5/PDIA19 can therefore explain most of the experimental results on the regulation of the IP3R by intraluminal Ca2+. Further studies are needed to provide a fuller understanding of the regulation of the IP3R from the intraluminal side. These findings underscore the importance of the state of the endoplasmic reticulum in the control of IP3R activity.

Abstract
Memory processing requires tightly controlled signalling cascades, many of which are dependent upon intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)). Despite this, most work investigating calcium signalling in memory formation has focused on plasma membrane channels and extracellular sources of Ca(2+). The intracellular Ca(2+) release channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) have a significant capacity to regulate intracellular Ca(2+) signalling. Evidence at both cellular and behavioural levels implicates both RyRs and IP3Rs in synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Pharmacobehavioural experiments using young chicks trained on a single-trial discrimination avoidance task have been particularly useful by demonstrating that RyRs and IP3Rs have distinct roles in memory formation. RyR-dependent Ca(2+) release appears to aid the consolidation of labile memory into a persistent long-term memory trace. In contrast, IP3Rs are required during long-term memory. This review discusses various functions for RyRs and IP3Rs in memory processing, including neuro- and glio-transmitter release, dendritic spine remodelling, facilitating vasodilation, and the regulation of gene transcription and dendritic excitability. Altered Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores also has significant implications for neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
The Ca(2) (+) signals evoked by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) are built from elementary Ca(2) (+) release events involving progressive recruitment of IP(3) receptors (IP(3)R), intracellular Ca(2) (+) channels that are expressed in almost all animal cells. The smallest events ('blips') result from opening of single IP(3)R. Larger events ('puffs') reflect the near-synchronous opening of a small cluster of IP(3)R. These puffs become more frequent as the stimulus intensity increases and they eventually trigger regenerative Ca(2) (+) waves that propagate across the cell. This hierarchical recruitment of IP(3)R is important in allowing Ca(2) (+) signals to be delivered locally to specific target proteins or more globally to the entire cell. Co-regulation of IP(3)R by Ca(2) (+) and IP(3), the ability of a single IP(3)R rapidly to mediate a large efflux of Ca(2) (+) from the endoplasmic reticulum, and the assembly of IP(3)R into clusters are key features that allow IP(3)R to propagate Ca(2) (+) signals regeneratively. We review these properties of IP(3)R and the structural basis of IP(3)R behavior.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) and their relatives, ryanodine receptors, are the channels that most often mediate Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores. Their regulation by Ca(2+) allows them also to propagate cytosolic Ca(2+) signals regeneratively. This brief review addresses the structural basis of IP(3)R activation by IP(3) and Ca(2+). IP(3) initiates IP(3)R activation by promoting Ca(2+) binding to a stimulatory Ca(2+)-binding site, the identity of which is unresolved. We suggest that interactions of critical phosphate groups in IP(3) with opposite sides of the clam-like IP(3)-binding core cause it to close and propagate a conformational change toward the pore via the adjacent N-terminal suppressor domain. The pore, assembled from the last pair of transmembrane domains and the intervening pore loop from each of the four IP(3)R subunits, forms a structure in which a luminal selectivity filter and a gate at the cytosolic end of the pore control cation fluxes through the IP(3)R.

Abstract
In recent years crystal structures of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1a), stabilized in various conformations with nucleotide and phosphate analogs, have been obtained. However, structural analysis of mutant forms would also be valuable to address key mechanistic aspects. We have worked out a procedure for affinity purification of SERCA1a heterologously expressed in yeast cells, producing sufficient amounts for crystallization and biophysical studies. We present here the crystal structures of two mutant forms, D351A and P312A, to address the issue whether the profound functional changes seen for these mutants are caused by major structural changes. We find that the structure of P312A with ADP and AlF(4)(-) bound (3.5-A resolution) and D351A with AMPPCP or ATP bound (3.4- and 3.7-A resolution, respectively) deviate only slightly from the complexes formed with that of wild-type ATPase. ATP affinity of the D351A mutant was very high, whereas the affinity for cytosolic Ca(2+) was similar to that of the wild type. We conclude from an analysis of data that the extraordinary affinity of the D351A mutant for ATP is caused by the electrostatic effects of charge removal and not by a conformational change. P312A exhibits a profound slowing of the Ca(2+)-translocating Ca(2)E1P-->E2P transition, which seems to be due to a stabilization of Ca(2)E1P rather than a destabilization of E2P. This can be accounted for by the strain that the Pro residue induces in the straight M4 helix of the wild type, which is removed upon the replacement of Pro(312) with alanine in P312A.

Abstract
The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (IPR) plays a crucial role in calcium dynamics in a wide range of cell types, and is often a central feature in quantitative models of calcium oscillations and waves. We review deterministic and stochastic mathematical models of the IPR, from the earliest ones of the 1970s and 1980s, to the most recent. The effects of IPR stochasticity on Ca2+ dynamics are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is one of the most important mechanisms of smooth muscle stimulation by a variety of physiologically active substances. Agonist-induced Ca2+ release is considered to be dependent on the Ca2+ content of the SR, although the mechanism underlying this dependence is unclear. In the present study, the effect of SR Ca2+ load on the amplitude of [Ca2+]i transients elicited by application of the purinergic agonist ATP was examined in uterine smooth muscle cells isolated from pregnant rats. Measurement of intraluminal Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]L) using a low affinity Ca indicator, mag-fluo-4, revealed that incubation of cells in a high-Ca2+ (10 mM) extracellular solution leads to a substantial increase in [Ca2+]L (SR overload). However, despite increased SR Ca2+ content this did not potentiate ATP-induced [Ca2+]i transients. Repetitive applications of ATP in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, as well as prolonged incubation in Ca2+-free solution without agonist, depleted the [Ca2+]L (SR overload). In contrast to overload, partial depletion of the SR substantially reduced the amplitude of Ca2+ release. ATP-induced [Ca2+]i transients were completely abolished when SR Ca2+ content was decreased below 80% of its normal value indicating a steep dependence of the IP3-mediated Ca2+ release on the Ca2+ load of the store. Our results suggest that in uterine smooth muscle cells decrease in the SR Ca2+ load below its normal resting level substantially reduces the IP3-mediated Ca2+ release, while Ca2+ overload of the SR has no impact on such release.

Abstract
The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (IPR) plays a crucial role in calcium dynamics in a wide range of cell types, and is often a central feature in quantitative models of calcium oscillations and waves. We compare three mathematical models of the IPR, fitting each of them to the same data set to determine ranges for the parameter values. Each of the fits indicates that fast activation of the receptor, followed by slow inactivation, is an important feature of the model, and also that the speed of inositol trisphosphate IP3 binding cannot necessarily be assumed to be faster than Ca2+ activation. In addition, the model which assumed saturating binding rates of Ca2+ to the IPR demonstrated the best fit. However, lack of convergence in the fitting procedure indicates that responses to step increases of Ca2+ and IP3 provide insufficient data to determine the parameters unambiguously in any of the models.

Abstract
Ca(2+) within intracellular stores (luminal Ca(2+)) is believed to play a role in regulating Ca(2+) release into the cytosol via the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3))-gated Ca(2+) channel (or Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor). To investigate this, we incorporated purified Type 1 Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor from rat cerebellum into planar lipid bilayers and monitored effects at altered luminal [Ca(2+)] using K(+) as the current carrier. At a high luminal [Ca(2+)] and in the presence of optimal [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] and cytosolic [Ca(2+)], a short burst of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor channel activity was followed by complete inactivation. Lowering the luminal [Ca(2+)] caused the channel to reactivate indefinitely. At luminal [Ca(2+)], reflecting a partially empty store, channel activity did not inactivate. The addition of cytosolic ATP to a channel inactivated by high luminal [Ca(2+)] caused reactivation. We provide evidence that luminal Ca(2+) is exerting its effects via a direct interaction with the luminal face of the receptor. Activation of the receptor by ATP may act as a device by which cytosolic Ca(2+) overload is prevented when the energy state of the cell is compromised.

Abstract
It is still debated whether inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate(IP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release is loading-dependent. We now report that stimulation of the IP(3) receptor by luminal Ca(2+) depends on the cytosolic [Ca(2+)] in permeabilized A7r5 cells. The EC(50) and maximal extent of Ca(2+) release were loading-dependent in the presence of 5 mM 1, 2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid: the EC(50) increased 1.9-fold and the maximal release decreased from 88 to 52% when the stores contained 73% less Ca(2+). In the presence of 0.3 microM free Ca(2+), the EC(50) for filled and less filled stores differed, however, only 1.2-fold and the maximal Ca(2+) release was respectively 96 and 87% of the total releasable Ca(2+). At 1 microM free Ca(2+), the difference in EC(50) between filled and less filled stores again became larger (2.2-fold) and the maximal Ca(2+) release decreased from 93 to 87% when the stores contained less Ca(2+).

Abstract
The three subtypes of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor expressed in mammalian cells are each capable of forming intracellular Ca2+ channels that are regulated by both InsP3 and cytosolic Ca2+. The InsP3 receptors of many, though perhaps not all, tissues are biphasically regulated by cytosolic Ca2+: a rapid stimulation of the receptors by modest increases in Ca2+ concentration is followed by a slower inhibition at higher Ca2+ concentrations. Despite the widespread occurrence of this form of regulation and the belief that it is an important element of the mechanisms responsible for the complex Ca2+ signals evoked by physiological stimuli, the underlying mechanisms are not understood. Both accessory proteins and Ca2+-binding sites on InsP3 receptors themselves have been proposed to mediate the effects of cytosolic Ca2+ on InsP3 receptor function, but the evidence is equivocal. The effects of cytosolic Ca2+ on InsP3 binding and channel opening, and the possible means whereby the effects are mediated are discussed in this review.

Abstract
During active cation transport, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, like other P-type ATPases, undergoes major conformational changes, some of which are dependent on Ca2+ binding to high affinity transport sites. We here report that, in addition to previously described residues of the transmembrane region (Clarke, D. M., Loo, T. W., Inesi, G., and MacLennan, D. H. (1989) Nature 339, 476-478), the region located in the cytosolic L6-7 loop connecting transmembrane segments M6 and M7 has a definite influence on the sensitivity of the Ca2+-ATPase to Ca2+, i.e. on the affinity of the ATPase for Ca2+. Cluster mutation of aspartic residues in this loop results in a strong reduction of the affinity for Ca2+, as shown by the Ca2+ dependence of ATPase phosphorylation from either ATP or Pi. The reduction in Ca2+ affinity for phosphorylation from Pi is observed both at acidic and neutral pH, suggesting that these mutations interfere with binding of the first Ca2+, as proposed for some of the intramembranous residues essential for Ca2+ binding (Andersen, J. P. (1995) Biosci. Rep. 15, 243-261). Treatment of the mutated Ca2+-ATPase with proteinase K, in the absence or presence of various Ca2+ concentrations, leads to Ca2+-dependent changes in the proteolytic degradation pattern similar to those in the wild type but observed only at higher Ca2+ concentrations. This implies that these effects are not due to changes in the conformational state of Ca2+-free ATPase but that changes affecting the proteolytic digestion pattern require higher Ca2+ concentrations. We conclude that aspartic residues in the L6-7 loop might interact with Ca2+ during the initial steps of Ca2+ binding.

Abstract
Structural and functional analyses were used to investigate the regulation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor (InsP3R) by Ca2+. To define the structural determinants for Ca2+ binding, cDNAs encoding GST fusion proteins that covered the complete linear cytosolic sequence of the InsP3R-1 were expressed in bacteria. The fusion proteins were screened for Ca2+ and ruthenium red binding through the use of 45Ca2+ and ruthenium red overlay procedures. Six new cytosolic Ca2+-binding regions were detected on the InsP3R in addition to the one described earlier (Sienaert, I., De Smedt, H., Parys, J. B., Missiaen, L., Vanlingen, S., Sipma, H., and Casteels, R. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 27005-27012). Strong 45Ca2+ and ruthenium red binding domains were localized in the N-terminal region of the InsP3R as follows: two Ca2+-binding domains were located within the InsP3-binding domain, and three Ca2+ binding stretches were localized in a 500-amino acid region just downstream of the InsP3-binding domain. A sixth Ca2+-binding stretch was detected in the proximity of the calmodulin-binding domain. Evidence for the involvement of multiple Ca2+-binding sites in the regulation of the InsP3R was obtained from functional studies on permeabilized A7r5 cells, in which we characterized the effects of Ca2+ and Sr2+ on the EC50 and cooperativity of the InsP3-induced Ca2+ release. The activation by cytosolic Ca2+ was due to a shift in EC50 toward lower InsP3 concentrations, and this effect was mimicked by Sr2+. The inhibition by cytosolic Ca2+ was caused by a decrease in cooperativity and by a shift in EC50 toward higher InsP3 concentrations. The effect on the cooperativity occurred at lower Ca2+ concentrations than the inhibitory effect on the EC50. In addition, Sr2+ mimicked the effect of Ca2+ on the cooperativity but not the inhibitory effect on the EC50. The different [Ca2+] and [Sr2+] dependencies suggest that three different cytosolic interaction sites were involved. Luminal Ca2+ stimulated the release without affecting the Hill coefficient or the EC50, excluding the involvement of one of the cytosolic Ca2+-binding sites. We conclude that multiple Ca2+-binding sites are localized on the InsP3R-1 and that at least four different Ca2+-interaction sites may be involved in the complex feedback regulation of the release by Ca2+.

Abstract
The repetitive spiking of free cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) during hormonal activation of hepatocytes depends on the activation and subsequent inactivation of InsP3-evoked Ca2+ release. The kinetics of both processes were studied with flash photolytic release of InsP3 and time resolved measurements of [Ca2+]i in single cells. InsP3 evoked Ca2+ flux into the cytosol was measured as d[Ca2+]i/dt, and the kinetics of Ca2+ release compared between hepatocytes and cerebellar Purkinje neurons. In hepatocytes release occurs at InsP3 concentrations greater than 0.1-0.2 microM. A comparison with photolytic release of metabolically stable 5-thio-InsP3 suggests that metabolism of InsP3 is important in determining the minimal concentration needed to produce Ca2+ release. A distinct latency or delay of several hundred milliseconds after release of low InsP3 concentrations decreased to a minimum of 20-30 ms at high concentrations and is reduced to zero by prior increase of [Ca2+]i, suggesting a cooperative action of Ca2+ in InsP3 receptor activation. InsP3-evoked flux and peak [Ca2+]i increased with InsP3 concentration up to 5-10 microM, with large variation from cell to cell at each InsP3 concentration. The duration of InsP3-evoked flux, measured as 10-90% risetime, showed a good reciprocal correlation with d[Ca2+]i/dt and much less cell to cell variation than the dependence of flux on InsP3 concentration, suggesting that the rate of termination of the Ca2+ flux depends on the free Ca2+ flux itself. Comparing this data between hepatocytes and Purkinje neurons shows a similar reciprocal correlation for both, in hepatocytes in the range of low Ca2+ flux, up to 50 microM. s-1 and in Purkinje neurons at high flux up to 1,400 microM. s-1. Experiments in which [Ca2+]i was controlled at resting or elevated levels support a mechanism in which InsP3-evoked Ca2+ flux is inhibited by Ca2+ inactivation of closed receptor/channels due to Ca2+ accumulation local to the release sites. Hepatocytes have a much smaller, more prolonged InsP3-evoked Ca2+ flux than Purkinje neurons. Evidence suggests that these differences in kinetics can be explained by the much lower InsP3 receptor density in hepatocytes than Purkinje neurons, rather than differences in receptor isoform, and, more generally, that high InsP3 receptor density promotes fast rising, rapidly inactivating InsP3-evoked [Ca2+]i transients.

Abstract
The regulation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor in liver was analyzed using a novel superfusion method. Hepatic microsomes were loaded with 45Ca2+, and superfused at high flow rates to provide precise control over IP3 and Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]) and to isolate 45Ca2+ release from reuptake. 45Ca2+ release was dependent on both [Ca2+] and IP3. The initial rate of 45Ca2+ release was a biphasic function of [Ca2+], increasing as [Ca2+] approached 3 microM but decreasing at higher concentrations, suggesting that the hepatic IP3 receptor is regulated by [Ca2+] at two sites, a high affinity potentiation site and a low affinity inhibitory site. The relationship between initial rates and IP3 concentration was steep (Hill coefficient of 3.4), suggesting that activation of the calcium channel requires binding of at least 3 IP3 molecules. IP3 concentrations above 10 microM produced rapid decay of release rates, suggesting receptor inactivation. Superfusion with 10 microM IP3 under conditions that minimize calcium release ([Ca2+] < 1 nM) inhibited 45Ca2+ release in response to subsequent stimulation (400 nM Ca2+). These data suggest sequential positive and negative regulation of the hepatic IP3 receptor by cytosolic calcium and by IP3, which may underlie hepatocellular propagation of regenerative, oscillatory calcium signals.

Abstract
Quantal release, incremental detection, and oscillations are three types of Ca2+ responses that can be obtained in different conditions, after stimulation of the intracellular Ca2+ stores by submaximum concentrations of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3). All three phenomena are thought to occur through the regulatory properties of the InsP3 receptor/Ca2+ channel. In the present study, we perform further analysis of the model (Swillens et al., 1994, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 91:10074-10078) previously proposed for transient InsP3-induced Ca2+ release, based on the bell-shaped dependence of the InsP3 receptor activity on the Ca2+ level and on the existence of an intermediate Ca2+ domain located around the mouth of the channel. We show that Ca2+ oscillations also arise in the latter model. Conditions for the occurrence of the various behaviors are investigated. Numerical simulations also show that the existence of an intermediate Ca2+ domain can markedly increase the period of oscillations. Periods on the order of 1 min can indeed be accounted for by the model when one assigns realistic values to the kinetic constants of the InsP3 receptor, which, in the absence of a domain, lead to oscillations with periods of a few seconds. Finally, theoretical support in favor of a positive cooperativity in the regulation of the InsP3 receptor by Ca2+ is presented.

Abstract
Activation of cells by hormones, growth factors or neurotransmitters leads to an increased production of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) and, after activation of the InsP3 receptor (InsP3R), to Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores. The release of intracellular Ca2+ is characterised by a graded response when submaximal doses of agonists are used. The basic phenomenon, called "quantal Ca2+ release", is that even the maintained presence of a submaximal dose of agonist or of InsP3 for long time periods (up to 20 min) provokes only a partial release of Ca2+. This partial, or quantal, release phenomenon is due to the fact that the initially very rapid InsP3-induced Ca2+ release eventually develops into a much slower release phase. Physiologically, quantal release allows the Ca2+ stores to function as increment detectors and to induce local Ca2+ responses. The basic mechanism for quantal release of Ca2+ is presently not known. Possible mechanisms to explain the quantal behaviour of InsP3- induced Ca2+ release include the presence of InsP3Rs with varying sensitivities for InsP3, heterogeneous InsP3R distribution, intrinsic inactivation of the InsP3Rs, and regulation of the InsP3Rs by Ca2+ store content. This article reviews critically the evidence for the various mechanisms and evaluates their functional importance. A Ca2+-mediated conformational change of the InsP3R is most likely the key feature of the mechanism for quantal Ca2+ release, but the exact mode of operation remains unclear. It should also be pointed out that in intact cells more than one mechanism can be involved.

Abstract
We developed a unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux technique in which 60 cumulative doses of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), each lasting 6 s, were subsequently added to permeabilized A7r5 cells. This technique allowed an accurate determination of the threshold for InsP3 action, which was around 32 nM InsP3 under control conditions. The InsP3-induced Ca2+ release was characterized by an initial rapid phase, after which the normalized rate progressively decreased. The slowing of the release was associated with a shift of the threshold to higher InsP3 concentrations. Stimulatory concentrations of thimerosal (10 microM) shifted the threshold to 4.5 nM InsP3 and increased both the cooperativity and the maximal normalized rate of Ca2+ release. This low threshold was maintained when the thimerosal concentration was increased to inhibitory levels (100 microM) but then the effects on the cooperativity and on the normalized rate of Ca2+ release disappeared. Oxidized glutathione (5 mM) was much less effective in stimulating the release and did not have an effect on the threshold or on the cooperativity. ATP (5 mM) stimulated the release despite a shift in threshold toward higher InsP3 concentrations. Luminal Ca2+ did not affect the threshold for InsP3 action but stimulated the normalized release at each InsP3 concentration. The inhibitory effect of 10 microM free cytosolic Ca2+ was associated with a shift in threshold to higher InsP3 concentrations and a decreased cooperativity of the release process. We conclude that this novel technique of accurately measuring the threshold for InsP3 action under various experimental conditions has allowed us to refine the analysis of the kinetic parameters involved in the regulation of the InsP3 receptor.

Abstract
A hypothesis for the hormonal regulation of gluconeogenesis, in which increases in cytosolic free-Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) play a major role, is presented. This hypothesis is based on the observation that gluconeogenic hormones evoke a common pattern of Ca2+ redistribution, resulting in increases in [Ca2+]i. Current concepts of hormonally evoked Ca2+ fluxes are presented and discussed. It is suggested that the increase in [Ca2+]i is functionally linked to stimulation of gluconeogenesis. The stimulation of gluconeogenesis is accomplished in two ways: (1) by increasing the activities of the Krebs cycle and the electron-transfer chain, thereby supplying adenosine triphosphates (ATP) and reducing equivalents to the process; and (2) by stimulating the activities of key gluconeogenic enzymes, such as pyruvate carboxylase. The hypothesis presents a conceptual framework that ties together two interrelated manifestations of hormone action: signal transduction and metabolism.

Abstract
In many cell types, low concentrations of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) release only a portion of the intracellular IP3-sensitive Ca2+ store, a phenomenon known as "quantal" Ca2+ release. It has been suggested that this effect is a result of reduced activity of the IP3-dependent Ca2+ channel with decreasing calcium concentration within the IP3-sensitive store ([Ca2+]s). To test this hypothesis, the properties of IP3-dependent Ca2+ release in single saponin-permeabilized HSY cells were studied by monitoring [Ca2+]s using the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye mag-fura-2. In permeabilized cells, blockade of the sarco/ER Ca(2+)-ATPase pump in stores partially depleted by IP3 induced further Ca2+ release via an IP3-dependent route, indicating that Ca2+ entry via the sarco/ER Ca(2+)-ATPase pump had been balanced by Ca2+ loss via the IP3-sensitive channel before pump inhibition. IP3-dependent Mn2+ entry, monitored via quenching of luminal mag-fura-2 fluorescence, was readily apparent in filled stores but undetectable in Ca(2+)-depleted stores, indicating markedly reduced IP3-sensitive channel activity in the latter. Also consistent with reduced responsiveness of Ca(2+)-depleted stores to IP3, the initial rate of refilling of these stores was unaffected by the presence of 0.3 microM IP3, a concentration that was clearly effective in eliciting Ca2+ release from filled stores. Analysis of the rate of Ca2+ release at various IP3 concentrations indicated a significant shift of the IP3 dose response toward higher [IP3] with decreasing [Ca2+]s. We conclude that IP3-dependent Ca2+ release in HSY cells is a steady-state process wherein Ca2+ efflux via the IP3 receptor Ca2+ channel is regulated by [Ca2+]s, apparently via changes in the sensitivity of the channel to IP3.

Abstract
Specific receptors on intracellular membranes mediate the Ca2+ mobilization induced by the second messenger molecule D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3). Most cell types appear to contain multiple receptor isoforms. The review summarizes recent progress on IP3 receptor biology with a particular emphasis on distinctive structural and regulatory features of the individual isoforms.

Abstract
Using sheep cerebellum microsomes previously loaded with 45Ca2+ or 90Sr2+, we measured the dependence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced efflux of these ions on Ca2+ or Sr2+ on the cytosolic side. At a low InsP3 concentration, Ca2+ in the submicromolar range only poorly activated 45Ca2+ or 90Sr2+ efflux, and higher Ca2+ concentrations were inhibitory. In contrast, Sr2+ in the micromolar range activated release efficiently, while only very high Sr2+ concentrations were inhibitory. Experiments were repeated in the presence of a high InsP3 concentration, which allowed increasing free Ca2+ to micromolar concentrations without inducing complete inhibition of the InsP3-dependent efflux. Under these conditions, micromolar Ca2+ was found to activate efflux to a large extent, similar to that previously found with Sr2+. Optimal activation by Ca2+ of the InsP3-dependent channel occurs at micromolar rather than submicromolar free Ca2+ concentrations, but at too low an InsP3 concentration, Ca(2+)-induced activation is counteracted by Ca(2+)-induced inactivation. Separate measurements of [3H]-InsP3 binding at a low concentration showed that Sr2+ and Ca2+ did not enhance the amount of bound [3H]-InsP3, implying that the activating effect of Sr2+ and Ca2+ in cerebellar microsomes is mediated by an increase in the channel opening probability and not by an increase in the receptor's affinity for InsP3. A similar relationship also holds in the case of the activating effect of nucleotides.

Abstract
The effects of a long-lasting stimulation with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) have been studied in monolayers of permeabilized A7r5 cells. When measured under unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux conditions, i.e. in the presence of 2 microM thapsigargin, an initial fast release was observed which then progressively slowed down into a slow phase which persisted for up to 20 min. When measured under bidirectional 45Ca2+ flux conditions with functional Ca2+ pumps, a transient phase of re-uptake occurred between the initial fast and the subsequent slow release phase. These kinetics are compatible with intrinsic inactivation of the InsP3 receptor. However, this inactivation did not prevent the slow release component. The slow component was not due to the accumulation of an InsP3 metabolite nor to a GTP-dependent translocation of Ca2+ between stores. The slow release phase was more pronounced when the Ca2+ pumps were active than when they were inhibited. This observation is compatible with other findings indicating that the InsP3 receptor is controlled by luminal Ca2+. The decreasing effectiveness of a 20 min lasting InsP3 challenge in mobilizing Ca2+ from less filled stores is most likely due to a progressive depletion of the store and cannot be considered as an experimental artifact caused by a preferential emptying of InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores. We conclude that the InsP3 receptor can intrinsically inactivate but that this inactivation is unable to prevent the slow release, which is especially pronounced when Ca2+ pumps are active.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is modulated by the luminal Ca2+ content of the stores and that such an effect could underlie the apparent 'quantal' nature of InsP3-induced release. Although initial studies failed to find evidence in support of such a modulation, several subsequent reports have indicated luminal Ca2+ effects that become apparent only after a greater than 70-75% depletion of Ca2+ stores. In these studies, Ca2+ release was expressed as a percentage of an A23187-releasable pool which comprised both InsP3-sensitive and InsP3-insensitive components. In model calculations we have found that the presence of even a minor InsP3-insensitive component in the total Ca2+ pool significantly distorts interpretation of the data. We show that the published results can be accurately duplicated without any requirement for a shift in the true InsP3 sensitivity of Ca2+ release if either: (a) the InsP3-insensitive component does not remain a constant proportion of the total pool during depletion (i.e. depletion disproportionally affects the InsP3-sensitive component); or (b) during generation of InsP3-response curves, additional Ca2+ is released from the InsP3-insensitive component as the InsP3-sensitive component is progressively emptied. Examination indicates that either, or both, of these conditions apply in the published reports and we conclude that the demonstrated effects of luminal Ca2+ may be artifacts.

Abstract
The synergistic action of cytosolic Ca2+ and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) in releasing intracellular Ca2+ stores has been suggested to be responsible for the complex intracellular Ca2 signals observed during hormonal stimulation of many cell types. However, the ability of cytosolic Ca2+ to potentiate Ca2+ release has recently been questioned because of the observed inhibitory effects of Ca2+ chelators used in previous studies. In the present study, EGTA and BAPTA [1,2-bis-(2-amino-phenoxy)ethane- NNN'N'-tetra-acetic acid] poorly inhibited InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from permeabilized A7r5 smooth-muscle cells. Additionally, stimulatory effects of cytosolic and luminal Ca2+ were observed either in the complete absence of Ca2+ chelator or at constant Ca(2+)-free chelator concentration. These data suggest that potentiation of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release by Ca2+ in A7r5 cells reflects an interaction between Ca2+ and InsP3 receptors, rather than a decrease in chelator-dependent inhibition. The EC50 for activation of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release by cytosolic Ca2+ was unaffected by ATP, or by changing InsP3 concentration, although InsP3-induced Ca2+ release became less sensitive to the inhibitory effects of cytosolic Ca2+ as the InsP3 concentration was elevated. Increasing H+ or Mg2+ concentration shifted the Ca(2+)-activation curve towards higher Ca2+ concentrations. These data suggest that, in addition to the InsP3-binding site, the affinity of the Ca(2+)-binding site(s) on InsP3 receptors can be modulated by intracellular cations.

Abstract
A remarkable property of Ca2+ fluxes through the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-gated Ca2+ channel is that successive increments of InsP3 induce repeated transient release of accumulated Ca2+. The initial aim of this study was to propose a model, based on hypotheses compatible with the current description of this Ca2+ channel, which could account for such experimental observations. The key feature of the model was the assumption that the Ca(2+)-binding sites on the receptor, whose occupancy leads to immediate channel activation but to subsequent slow channel desensitization, were located somewhere along the permeation pathway and were therefore sensitive to the flux of Ca2+ rather than the cytosolic or luminal Ca2+ concentration per se. Simulation showed that, provided Ca2+ bound to both activating and inhibitory sites with adequate cooperativity, addition of submaximal concentrations InsP3 resulted in transient opening well above the stationary state. The model also rationalized the documented existence of a threshold for InsP3 action, the puzzling control of channel sensitivity to InsP3 by luminal and cytosolic Ca2+, as well as the functional heterogeneity of the Ca2+ pools.

Abstract
The effects of caffeine on agonist-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were studied in single fura 2-loaded cells and suspensions of rat hepatocytes. In single cells, caffeine (5-10 mM) inhibited [Ca2+]i oscillations induced both by noradrenaline (0.1 microM) and by vasopressin (0.1 nM). Caffeine shifted the dose-response curves of the [Ca2+]i rise induced by vasopressin (0.5 to 2 nM) and noradrenaline (from 80 to 580 nM) in suspensions of liver cells loaded with quin2. This inhibitory effect of caffeine was not due to inhibition of phosphodiesterase enzymes and elevation of cyclic AMP levels, because application of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, forskolin or 8-bromo cyclic AMP had no inhibitory effect on the intracellular Ca2+ rise induced by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-dependent agonists. We demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of caffeine may result from at least three actions of caffeine: (1) inhibition of receptor-stimulated InsP3 formation; (2) inhibition of agonist-stimulated Ca2+ influx; and (3) direct inhibition of the InsP3-sensitive Ca(2+)-release channel.

Abstract
Cytosolic Ca2+ biphasically regulates Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization in liver [Marshall and Taylor (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 13214-13220]. We have investigated the mechanisms underlying this biphasic control of Ca2+ mobilization in permeabilized hepatocytes by comparing the effects of Sr2+, Ba2+ and Ca2+ on the liver Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. Both Ca2+ and Sr2+ increased the binding of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 to liver membranes by converting receptors from a low-affinity (KD approximately 35 nM) to a high-affinity (KD approximately 5 nM) state. Ba2+ (< or = 20 microM) did not affect [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding. At concentrations similar to those that caused an enhancement of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding, Sr2+ (EC50 = 570 nM) and Ca2+ (EC50 = 200 nM) increased the sensitivity of the intracellular Ca2+ stores to Ins(1,4,5)P3. Further modest elevations in [Ca2+] (EC50 = 1.5 microM) inhibited Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization, whereas Sr2+ caused inhibition only when its concentration was very substantially increased (EC50 approximately 900 microM). Sr2+ is therefore only 3-fold less potent than Ca2+ in causing sensitization of Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ release, but 600-fold less potent in causing inhibition. Ba2+ neither sensitized ([Ba2+] < or = 20 microM) nor inhibited ([Ba2+] < or = 1 mM) Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ release, and did not inhibit either the sensitization of Ca2+ release evoked by Sr2+ or the inhibition of Ca2+ release evoked by Ca2+. Our results suggest that two distinct Ca(2+)-binding sites, which differ in their selectivities for bivalent cations, mediate the interconversion of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors between at least three different conformational states. These two Ca(2+)-binding sites, which may reside either on the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor itself or on distinct regulatory proteins, can be distinguished by their different selectivities for bivalent cations.

Abstract
The perturbation of the kinetics of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranous Ca(2+)-ATPase cycle by the non-ionic detergent dodecylmaltoside (DM) has been shown to exhibit specific features which were not observed with the related detergents octa(ethylene glycol) monododecylether and Triton X-100 [de Foresta, B., Henao, F. & Champeil, P. (1992) Eur. J. Biochem. 209, 1023-1034]. This previous study has been completed here by a detailed analysis of the perturbation by DM of the interaction of Ca2+ with membranous ATPase, both in its unphosphorylated and phosphorylated form. Equilibrium binding measurements, performed at pH 7.5 and 20 degrees C, showed that only one 45Ca2+ was bound with high affinity to the ATPase in the presence of maximally perturbing concentrations of DM, as compared to two 45Ca2+ in the absence of detergent. This binding was also assessed by a small decrease in the tryptophan fluorescence intensity. Binding of a second Ca2+ occurred only with a much lower affinity. In the presence of DM, the pCa dependence of the phosphorylation by [gamma-32P]ATP of the ATPase shifted towards 50-fold higher Ca2+ concentrations than in its absence. Furthermore, DM completely inhibited the cooperativity of this dependence. This shift strongly suggests that the phosphorylation of DM-perturbed ATPase requires the binding of this second, low-affinity Ca2+. In order to assess this, samples of ATPase were intramolecularly cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. This treatment stabilized the phosphorylated intermediated with occluded Ca2+ [Ross, D. C., Davidson, G.A. & McIntosh, D. B. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 4613-4621]. Both in the absence and presence of DM, the cross-linked enzyme occluded close to two Ca2+/phosphorylated molecule. Finally, the pCa dependences of the ATPase hydrolytic activity, measured with two different high-energy substrates, ATP or p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNpP), were also found to shift towards higher Ca2+ concentrations in the presence of DM, which was again consistent with a normal coupling ratio, i.e. two bound Ca2+/substrate hydrolyzed. As compared to other detergents, the maltoside head group of DM might favor a stronger interaction with membranous ATPase, resulting in its high perturbing effect on Ca2+ binding. The loss of cooperativity of Ca2+ binding evidenced here makes DM a useful tool in the analysis of the sequence of events occurring during Ca2+ binding.

Abstract
Even a prolonged application of a submaximal dose of Ins(1,4,5)P3 is unable to release the same amount of Ca2+ from the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive store as a higher dose of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Low doses of Ins(1,4,5)P3 therefore only induce a partial release of the stored Ca2+. In this review, we will focus on the mechanisms that may contribute to this behaviour. Molecular heterogeneity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor can contribute to such behaviour if all the gene products and alternatively spliced isoforms would have different functional properties and be located in different store units. We will show that the control of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor by by luminal Ca2+ also contributes to the partial release behaviour; it can set the sensitivity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor and the decreasing luminal Ca2+ concentration may inhibit further release while some Ca2+ is still left in the store. It is finally possible that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor may adapt to a maintained stimulus.

Abstract
By virtue of their biological simplicity and widespread availability, platelets frequently have been used as a model system to study signal transduction. Such studies have revealed that changes in intracellular free calcium concentration are central to platelet functioning. The following article reviews current concepts of platelet structure and function, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms involved in platelet Ca2+ signalling.

Abstract
Cellular oscillations of cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) have been observed in many cell types in response to cell surface receptor agonists acting through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3). In a number of cases where appropriate spatial and temporal resolution have been used to examine these [Ca2+]i oscillations, they have been found to be organized as repetitive waves of Ca2+ increase that propagate through the cytosol of individual cells. In some cases Ca2+ waves also occur as a single pass through stimulated cells. This review discusses the factors underlying the spatial organization of [Ca2+]i signals in the form of Ca2+ waves. In addition, potential mechanisms for the initiation and subsequent propagation of these Ca2+ waves are described.

Abstract
We investigated the consequences of Sr2+ binding to the transport sites of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase for two fluorescent conformational probes located in different regions of the ATPase. Using SR vesicles in which Lys-515 in the ATPase had been previously labeled with fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC), we found that the Sr(2+)-induced a drop in the fluorescein fluorescence of this FITC-labeled ATPase shifted toward lower Sr2+ concentrations than the Sr(2+)-induced rise in Trp fluorescence for the same FITC-labeled ATPase. The curve describing the Sr(2+)-dependent rise in Trp fluorescence had a characteristic asymmetric shape, and the changes in Trp fluorescence occurred in parallel with the activation by Sr2+ of pNPP hydrolysis by the ATPase. Analysis of these results in terms of the simplest scheme describing the sequential binding of the two Sr2+ ions suggests that under the conditions of these experiments, i.e. at neutral pH in the presence of potassium, the Sr(2+)-induced rise in the Trp fluorescence mainly reflected the formation of ATPase with two ions bound to the transport sites, whereas the binding of a single Sr2+ ion was virtually sufficient to reduce the fluorescence of bound FITC to its minimal level.

Abstract
Cells expand energy to lower the concentration of free calcium in the cytosol ([Ca2+]i) to a very low level. Extracellular Ca2+ entering via channels situated in the plasma membrane is expelled into the extracellular medium by a Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase or by Na(+)-Ca2+ exchangers. The Ca2+ that enters the cell is sequestered, once inside the cytosol, by a Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase, which concentrates Ca2+ in specialized domains of the endoplasmic reticulum. The nucleus and the mitochondria also concentrate Ca2+, but less efficiently. The stimulation of numerous receptors by hormones, growth factors and neurotransmitters coupled to GTP-binding proteins provokes a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i by mobilizing Ca2+ from intra- and extracellular compartments. Membrane coupling is ensured by the activation of a phospholipase C-beta, which hydrolyses a doubly phosphorylated phosphoinositide, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (InsP3) consequently formed binds to a receptor consisting in 4 homologous of 250 kDa each. The InsP3 receptor has been localized to a specialized region, rich in Ca2+, of the endoplasmic reticulum. The receptor has been purified and its sequence obtained. Reincorporated into planar bilayers, it displays the properties of a channel. In the cell, opening of the InsP3 receptor-channel provokes the release of the Ca2+ accumulated within the endoplasmic reticulum. Analyzing the kinetics of channel opening by the methods of rapid mixing, rapid filtration or flash photolysis of caged InsP3 has revealed that InsP3 opens the channel within a very short time, probably less than 30 msec. The InsP3 receptor-channel is autoregenerative. With the sustained stimulation of a Ca2+ influx the release of Ca2+ leads to an augmentation of [Ca2+]i, which is responsible for triggering cellular responses. The complexity of Ca2+ signals produced by stimulated cells has been revealed by studies in which highly effective techniques have been used to detect Ca2+ ions in the cytosol, such as bioluminescent proteins, fluorescent indicators or ionic currents sensitive to Ca2+. It appears that variations in [Ca2+]i induced by stimulation consist of oscillations of which the frequency, but not the amplitude, depends on the concentration of the hormone. Moreover, by summing the images picked up with a video recorder, it has been possible to demonstrate the changes in [Ca2+]i at the subcellular level and the waves of Ca2+ in stimulated cells.
