Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs) are a family of Ca2+ release channels localized predominately in the endoplasmic reticulum of all cell types. They function to release Ca2+ into the cytoplasm in response to InsP3 produced by diverse stimuli, generating complex local and global Ca2+ signals that regulate numerous cell physiological processes ranging from gene transcription to secretion to learning and memory. The InsP3R is a calcium-selective cation channel whose gating is regulated not only by InsP3, but by other ligands as well, in particular cytoplasmic Ca2+. Over the last decade, detailed quantitative studies of InsP3R channel function and its regulation by ligands and interacting proteins have provided new insights into a remarkable richness of channel regulation and of the structural aspects that underlie signal transduction and permeation. Here, we focus on these developments and review and synthesize the literature regarding the structure and single-channel properties of the InsP3R.

Abstract
Ca(2+) release from intracellular Ca(2+) stores, a pivotal event in Ca(2+) signaling, is a 'quantal' process; it terminates after a rapid release of a fraction of stored Ca(2+). To explain the 'quantal' nature, 'all-or-none' model and 'steady-state' model were proposed. This article shortly reviews these hypotheses and considers a recently proposed mechanism, 'luminal potential' model, in which the membrane potential of Ca(2+) store regulates Ca(2+) efflux. By reassessing the 'quantal' nature, other important features of Ca(2+) signaling, oscillation and synchronization, are highlighted. The mechanism for 'quantal' Ca(2+) release may underlie the temporal and spatial control of Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
Ca2+ release from Ca2+ stores is a 'quantal' process; it terminates after a rapid release of stored Ca2+. To explain the quantal nature, it has been supposed that a decrease in luminal Ca2+ acts as a 'brake' on store release. However, the mechanism for the attenuation of Ca2+ efflux remains unknown. We show that Ca2+ release is controlled by voltage- and Ca2+-activated potassium channels in the Ca2+ store. The potassium channel was identified as the big or maxi-K (BK)-type, and was activated by positive shifts in luminal potential and luminal Ca2+ increases, as revealed by patch-clamp recordings from an exposed nuclear envelope. The blockage or closure of the store BK channel due to Ca2+ efflux developed lumen-negative potentials, as revealed with an organelle-specific voltage-sensitive dye [DiOC5(3); 3,3'-dipentyloxacarbocyanine iodide], and suppressed Ca2+ release. The store BK channels are reactivated by Ca2+ uptake by Ca2+ pumps regeneratively with K+ entry to allow repetitive Ca2+ release. Indeed, the luminal potential oscillated bistably by approximately 45 mV in amplitude. Our study suggests that Ca2+ efflux-induced store BK channel closures attenuate Ca2+ release with decreases in counter-influx of K+.

Abstract
Modulation of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by receptor-mediated generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and activation of its receptor (InsP3R), a Ca2+-release channel in the endoplasmic reticulum, is a ubiquitous signalling mechanism. A fundamental aspect of InsP3-mediated signalling is the graded release of Ca2+ in response to incremental levels of stimuli. Ca2+ release has a transient fast phase, whose rate is proportional to [InsP3], followed by a much slower one even in constant [InsP3]. Many schemes have been proposed to account for quantal Ca2+ release, including the presence of heterogeneous channels and Ca2+ stores with various mechanisms of release termination. Here, we demonstrate that mechanisms intrinsic to the single InsP3R channel can account for quantal Ca2+ release. Patch-clamp electrophysiology of isolated insect Sf9 cell nuclei revealed a consistent and high probability of detecting functional endogenous InsP3R channels, enabling InsP3-induced channel inactivation to be identified as an inevitable consequence of activation, and allowing the average number of activated channels in the membrane patch (N(A)) to be accurately quantified. InsP3-activated channels invariably inactivated, with average duration of channel activity reduced by high [Ca2+]i and suboptimal [InsP3]. Unexpectedly, N(A) was found to be a graded function of both [Ca2+]i and [InsP3]. A qualitative model involving Ca2+-induced InsP3R sequestration and inactivation can account for these observations. These results suggest that apparent heterogeneous ligand sensitivity can be generated in a homogeneous population of InsP3R channels, providing a mechanism for graded Ca2+ release that is intrinsic to the InsP3R Ca2+ release channel itself.

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
In the present work we examined localization and behavior of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) in polarized exocrine cells to address the questions of how luminal to basal Ca(2+) waves can be generated in a receptor-specific manner and whether quantal Ca(2+) release reflects partial release from a continuous pool or an all-or-none release from a compartmentalized pool. Immunolocalization revealed that expression of GPCRs in polarized cells is not uniform, with high levels of GPCR expression at or near the tight junctions. Measurement of phospholipase Cbeta activity and receptor-dependent recruitment and trapping of the box domain of RGS4 in GPCRs complexes indicated autonomous functioning of G(q)-coupled receptors in acinar cells. These findings explain the generation of receptor-specific Ca(2+) waves and why the waves are always initiated at the apical pole. The initiation site of Ca(2+) wave at the apical pole and the pattern of wave propagation were independent of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate concentration. Furthermore, a second Ca(2+) wave with the same initiation site and pattern was launched by inhibition of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase pumps of cells continuously stimulated with sub-maximal agonist concentration. By contrast, rapid sequential application of sub-maximal and maximal agonist concentrations to the same cell triggered Ca(2+) waves with different initiation sites. These findings indicate that signaling specificity in pancreatic acinar cells is aided by polarized expression and autonomous functioning of GPCRs and that quantal Ca(2+) release is not due to a partial Ca(2+) release from a continuous pool, but rather, it is due to an all-or-none Ca(2+) release from a compartmentalized Ca(2+) pool.

Abstract
In smooth muscle, release via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) controls oscillatory and steady-state cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](c)). The interplay between the two receptors, itself determined by their organization on the SR, establishes the time course and spatial arrangement of the Ca(2+) signal. Whether or not the receptors are co-localized or distanced from each other on the same store or whether they exist on separate stores will significantly affect the Ca(2+) signal produced by the SR. To date these matters remain unresolved. The functional arrangement of the RyR and Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R on the SR has now been examined in isolated single voltage-clamped colonic myocytes. Depletion of the ryanodine-sensitive store, by repeated application of caffeine, in the presence of ryanodine, abolished the response to Ins(1,4,5)P(3), suggesting that Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R and RyR share a common Ca(2+) store. Ca(2+) release from the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R did not activate Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release at the RyR. Depletion of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-sensitive store, by the removal of external Ca(2+), on the other hand, caused only a small decrease ( approximately 26%) in caffeine-evoked Ca(2+) transients, suggesting that not all RyR exist on the common store shared with Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R. Dependence of the stores on external Ca(2+) for replenishment also differed; removal of external Ca(2+) depleted the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-sensitive store but caused only a slight reduction in caffeine-evoked transients mediated at RyR. Different mechanisms are presumably responsible for the refilling of each store. Refilling of both Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-sensitive and caffeine-sensitive Ca(2+) stores was inhibited by each of the SR Ca(2+) ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid. These results may be explained by the existence of two functionally distinct Ca(2+) stores; the first expressing only RyR and refilled from [Ca(2+)](c), the second expressing both Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R and RyR and dependent upon external Ca(2+) for refilling.

Abstract
Slow waves determine frequency and propagation characteristics of contractions in the small intestine, yet little is known about mechanisms of slow wave regulation. We propose a role for intracellular Ca(2+), inositol 1,4,5,-trisphosphate (IP(3))-sensitive Ca(2+) release, and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) content in the regulation of slow wave frequency because 1) 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid-AM, a cytosolic Ca(2+) chelator, reduced the frequency or abolished the slow waves; 2) thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), inhibitors of SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, decreased slow wave frequency; 3) xestospongin C, a reversible, membrane-permeable blocker of IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release, abolished slow wave activity; 4) caffeine and phospholipase C inhibitors (U-73122, neomycin, and 2-nitro-4-carboxyphenyl-N,N-diphenylcarbamate) inhibited slow wave frequency; 5) in the presence of CPA or thapsigargin, stimulation of IP(3) synthesis with carbachol, norepinephrine, or phenylephrine acting on alpha(1)-adrenoceptors initially increased slow wave frequency but thereafter increased the rate of frequency decline, 6) thimerosal, a sensitizing agent of IP(3) receptors increased slow wave frequency, and 7) ryanodine, a selective modulator of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release, had no effect on slow wave frequency. In summary, these data are consistent with a role of IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) release and the rate of SR Ca(2+) refilling in regulation of intestinal slow wave frequency.

Abstract
Graded or "quantal" Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores has been observed in various cell types following activation of either ryanodine receptors (RyR) or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R). The mechanism causing the release of Ca(2+) stores in direct proportion to the strength of stimulation is unresolved. We investigated the properties of quantal Ca(2+) release evoked by activation of RyR in PC12 cells, and in particular whether the sensitivity of RyR to the agonist caffeine was altered by lumenal Ca(2+). Quantal Ca(2+) release was observed in cells stimulated with 1 to 40 mM caffeine, a range of caffeine concentrations giving a >10-fold change in lumenal Ca(2+) content. The Ca(2+) load of the caffeine-sensitive stores was modulated by allowing them to refill for varying times after complete discharge with maximal caffeine, or by depolarizing the cells with K(+) to enhance their normal steady-state loading. The threshold for RyR activation was sensitized approximately 10-fold as the Ca(2+) load increased from a minimal to a maximal loading. In addition, the fraction of Ca(2+) released by low caffeine concentrations increased. Our data suggest that RyR are sensitive to lumenal Ca(2+) over the full range of Ca(2+) loads that can be achieved in an intact PC12 cell, and that changes in RyR sensitivity may be responsible for the termination of Ca(2+) release underlying the quantal effect.

Abstract
Circular smooth muscle cells from the feline newborn antrum, unlike the adult, are unable to respond to myogenic agonists in the absence of extracellular calcium or to exogenous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). This study examined the reasons behind the relative inaccessibility of intracellular calcium stores in the newborn period. IP3 binding was determined in antral smooth muscle homogenates from adult cats and newborns by evaluating the competitive binding of D-myo-[3H]IP3 and unlabeled IP3. Receptor density (Bmax) (fmol/mg of protein) and binding affinity (Kd) were determined. The Kd was similar in adults (31 +/- 4 nM) and newborns (28 +/- 7 nM); however, the Bmax was markedly decreased in the newborn (647 +/- 181.0 fmol/mg) compared with the adult (1755 +/- 275 fmol/mg). In adult and newborn antral cells, thapsigargin, which causes a net release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores by inhibiting Ca(2+)-ATPase-dependent reuptake activity, caused an early contraction at 30 s that was maintained for at least 20 min. We conclude that, in the newborn, dynamic intracellular calcium stores are present in the smooth muscle of the feline antrum and that differences in accessibility of intracellular calcium stores may be related to changes in the release of calcium from IP3-sensitive stores.

Abstract
In non-excitable cells, a Ca2+ entry pathway is opened after the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ store sites. We have tried to estimate the sensitivity of this pathway to Ca2+ release using bovine aortic endothelial cells. Single application of a high concentration (30 microM) of ATP released almost all stored Ca2+ in Ca(2+)-free extracellular solution, whereas a low concentration of ATP (30 nM) produced a partial (57.3 +/- 3.0%) release of Ca2+. By 10 min of Ca2+ re-perfusion, the Ca2+ store site was reloaded to 97.1% of its initial filling state. When thapsigargin was applied to this cell in Mn2+ solution, Mn(2+)-induced quenching of fura-2 dye started when 19.3 +/- 5.3% of Ca2+ release, produced by 30 nM ATP, had occurred. Therefore, Ca2+ release required for Mn2+ entry was estimated as 11.1 +/- 3.0% of stored Ca2+. These results indicate that intracellular Ca2+ concentration is controlled dynamically by simultaneously occurring Ca2+ release and entry in bovine aortic endothelial cells.

Abstract
To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed. In the model, slow responses, generated postsynaptically by mGluR-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and calcium release from intracellular stores, bridge the interstimulus interval (ISI) between the onset of parallel fiber activity associated with the conditioned stimulus (CS) and climbing fiber activity associated with unconditioned stimulus (US) onset. Temporal correlation of metabotropic responses and climbing fiber signals produces persistent phosphorylation of both AMPA receptors and Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channels. This is responsible for long-term depression (LTD) of AMPA receptors. The phosphorylation of Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channels leads to a reduction in baseline membrane potential and a reduction of Purkinje cell population firing during the CS-US interval. The Purkinje cell firing decrease disinhibits cerebellar nuclear cells, which then produce an excitatory response corresponding to the learned movement. Purkinje cell learning times the response, whereas nuclear cell learning can calibrate it. The model reproduces key features of the conditioned rabbit NMR: Purkinje cell population response is timed properly; delay conditioning occurs for ISIs of up to 4 sec, whereas trace conditioning occurs only at shorter ISIs; mixed training at two different ISIs produces a double-peaked response; and ISIs of 200-400 msec produce maximal responding. Biochemical similarities between timed cerebellar learning and photoreceptor transduction, and circuit similarities between the timed cerebellar circuit and a timed dentate-CA3 hippocampal circuit, are noted.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the application of the muscarinic agonist carbachol to the human salivary epithelial cell line HSG elicits the now well-known phenomenon of 'quantal' Ca2+ release; namely, that the application of a submaximal concentration of agonist results in the release of only a portion of the agonist-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ pool. One explanation that has been proposed to account for this effect is that there are multiple intracellular Ca2+ stores, each with a different agonist sensitivity, which release Ca2+ in an 'all-or-none' fashion. We test this hypothesis in intact HSG cells with an experimental protocol designed to preferentially load less-agonist-sensitive stores with 40Ca2+ and more-agonist-sensitive stores with 45Ca2+. However, contrary to the expectations of the above explanation, these cells do not preferentially release 45Ca2+ in response to low concentrations of agonist. Thus our data suggest that quantal Ca2+ release must arise from some other property of the stores or their Ca2+ release channels.

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
Xenopus laevis oocytes (stages V and VI) are a widely used model system for the study of Ca2+ signaling. The properties of the Xenopus oocyte InsP3 receptor (InsP3R) are of paramount importance for our thinking about this system and for our efforts to model Ca2+ dynamics in the oocyte cytosol. The recent data regarding the molecular structure, the regulation and the functional properties of the Xenopus oocyte InsP3R are summarized in this review. The main properties of the Xenopus oocyte InsP3R are compared with the properties of the cerebellar InsP3R and are shown to be remarkably similar. The density of the InsP3R in Xenopus oocyte cytoplasm is estimated to a value between 1.1-4.1 x 10(14) tetrameric InsP3R/l. The use of these numbers in a quantitative model of Ca2+ wave propagation leads to values of Ca2+ wave amplitude (0.8-1.5 microM Ca2+) and velocity of the wave propagation (12-24 microns/s) that are in excellent agreement with the values observed experimentally. The density of InsP3Rs in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum is estimated to be about 20,000-fold higher, but in other types of neurons and in peripheral tissues the InsP3R density is estimated to be of the same order of magnitude as, or up to 20-fold higher than, in Xenopus oocytes. The implications of differences in InsP3R density for Ca2+ signaling are discussed.

Abstract
This article discusses how changes in luminal calcium concentration affect calcium release rates from triad-enriched sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, as well as single channel opening probability of the ryanodine receptor/calcium release channels incorporated in bilayers. The possible participation of calsequestrin, or of other luminal proteins of sarcoplasmic reticulum in this regulation is addressed. A comparison with the regulation by luminal calcium of calcium release mediated by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor/calcium channel is presented as well.

Abstract
This study concerns the detection and analysis of the highly homologous type II-like inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3R-II, -IV and -V). We have particularly investigated RBL-2H3 cells, which at the mRNA level predominantly expressed InsP3R-IV [De Smedt H. Missiaen L. Parys JB. et al. (1994) Determination of relative amounts of inositol trisphosphate receptor mRNA isoforms by ratio polymerase chain reaction. J. Biol. Chem., 269, 21691-21698]. When measured in identical experimental conditions, microsomes from RBL-2H3 cells were characterized by a much higher InsP3 binding affinity (Kd 3.8 +/- 0.8 nM, Bmax 0.40 +/- 0.08 pmol/mg protein) than microsomes from A7r5 cells (Kd 65 +/- 7 nM, Bmax 0.65 +/- 0.08 pmol/mg protein) or from cerebellum (Kd 135 +/- 14 nM, Bmax 7.35 +/- 1.13 pmol/mg protein). An affinity-purified antibody against the C-terminus of type II-like InsP3Rs detected, after SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, a 250 kD protein in RBL-2H3 and C3H10T1/2 cells, but not in other cell types. An isoform-specific antibody against the C-terminus of InsP3R-I was used to determine the presence of the various InsP3R-I splice isoforms at the protein level. The 273 kD (brain), 261 kD (peripheral tissues) and 256 kD (Xenopus oocytes) isoforms were recognized. Expression of InsP3R-I in RBL-2H3 cells was very low. Taken together, our results support the hypothesis that InsP3R isoforms may differ to a large extent in their affinity for InsP3 and suggest that RBL-2H3 cells are a useful model for the study of InsP3R-IV.
