Abstract
Phospholipids are synthesized primarily within the endoplasmic reticulum and are subsequently distributed to various subcellular membranes to maintain the unique lipid composition of specific organelles. As a result, in most cases, the steady-state localization of membrane phospholipids does not match their site of synthesis. This raises the question of how diverse lipid species reach their final membrane destinations and what molecular processes provide the energy to maintain the lipid gradients that exist between various membrane compartments. Recent studies have highlighted the role of inositol phospholipids in the nonvesicular transport of lipids at membrane contact sites. This review attempts to summarize our current understanding of these complex lipid dynamics and highlights their implications for defining future research directions.

Abstract
Between spring 1982 and autumn 1984 the physiological role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 as a calcium-mobilizing second messenger was first suggested and then experimentally established. At the same time the unexpected complexity of inositide metabolism began to be exposed by the discovery of Ins(1,3,4)P3. This article recalls my entanglement with these two inositol phosphates.

Abstract
The concerted action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and Ca2+ on the IP3 receptor Ca2+ release channel (IP3R) is a fundamental step in the generation of cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations and waves, which underlie Ca2+ signaling in many cells. Mitochondria appear in close association with regions of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) enriched in IP3R and are particularly responsive to IP3-induced increases of cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c). To determine whether feedback regulation of the IP3R by released Ca2+ is modulated by mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, the interactions between ER and mitochondrial Ca2+ pools were examined by fluorescence imaging of compartmentalized Ca2+ indicators in permeabilized hepatocytes. IP3 decreased luminal ER Ca2+ ([Ca2+]ER), and this was paralleled by an increase in mitochondrial matrix Ca2+ ([Ca2+]m) and activation of Ca2+-sensitive mitochondrial metabolism. Remarkably, the decrease in [Ca2+]ER evoked by submaximal IP3 was enhanced when mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was blocked with ruthenium red or uncoupler. Moreover, subcellular regions that were relatively deficient in mitochondria demonstrated greater sensitivity to IP3 than regions of the cell with a high density of mitochondria. These data demonstrate that Ca2+ uptake by the mitochondria suppresses the local positive feedback effects of Ca2+ on the IP3R, giving rise to subcellular heterogeneity in IP3 sensitivity and IP3R excitability. Thus, mitochondria can play an important role in setting the threshold for activation and establishing the subcellular pattern of IP3-dependent [Ca2+]c signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that farnesol, a 15-carbon nonsterol derivative of mevalonic acid, inhibits vasoconstriction. Because of its lipophilic properties, we hypothesized that farnesol increased membrane dynamics, thus reducing uptake of Ca2+ and contraction. OBJECTIVE To characterize the effect of farnesol on cell membrane fluidity. DESIGN The study was conducted using A7r5 cells, a rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cell line. Inhibition of Ca2+ uptake by farnesol was first established in these cells. Then, the effect of farnesol on membrane dynamics was determined. Finally, to ascertain that activation of Ca2+ extrusion and reuptake processes by farnesol did not occur, Ca2+-ATPase activity was examined. METHODS Membrane fluidity in cell homogenates was estimated using two fluorescent dyes (1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene) and (1-[-(trimethylamino)-phenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene). Ca2+ uptake was determined by monitoring the changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in fura-2-loaded cells after addition of KCI. Ca2+-ATPase activity was measured in 100000 x g cell fractions. RESULTS Farnesol reduced KCI-induced (Ca2+]i transients significantly (P < 0.001), but did not modify membrane dynamic properties [0.214+/-0.007 versus 0.218+/-0.007 (n = 10) and 0.142+/-0.002 versus 0.146+/-0.003 (n = 5) for 1 -[-(trimethylamino)-phenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene anisotropies, respectively; NS]. Administration of up to 30 micromol/l farnesol did not affect Ca2+-ATPase activity. CONCLUSION Farnesol inhibits KCI-dependent rise of [Ca2+]i in A7r5 cells. This effect of farnesol is not related to a global change in plasma membrane lipid organization or to activation of Ca2+ pumps. Other mechanisms such as direct inhibition of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels could therefore explain the biologic action of farnesol in the vascular tissue.

Abstract
The GTP-dependent fusion activity of endoplasmic reticulum membranes is thought to be required for the structural maintenance and post-mitotic regeneration of the endoplasmic reticulum. This fusion is sensitive to the thiol-alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide. In many intracellular fusion events N-ethylmaleimide-sensitivity is associated with a homotrimeric ATPase called N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein or NSF. The addition of cytosol containing NSF is known to restore fusion activity to N-ethylmaleimide-treated membranes. We found that the inhibition of fusion of rat liver endoplasmic reticulum membranes (microsomes) by N-ethylmaleimide was not reversed by the addition of untreated cytosol. Fusion was also unaffected by treatment with a buffer known to remove NSF from membranes. Accordingly, no membrane-associated NSF was detected by immunoblot analysis. These data suggest that microsome fusion requires an N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive component distinct from NSF. This component was tightly associated with the membranes, so we used a number of chemical probes to characterize it in situ. Its thiol groups did not appear to be part of a GTP-binding site. They showed relatively low reactivity with sodium periodate, which induces the formation of disulphide bonds between proximate thiol groups. The thiols were not protected against N-ethylmaleimide by Zn2+, a potent inhibitor of fusion which is known to efficiently co-ordinate thiol groups. To characterize the topology of the fusion-related thiol groups we used bulky thiol-specific reagents prepared by conjugating BSA or 10 kDa aminodextran to the bifunctional reagent N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate. The inhibition of fusion by these reagents indicated that these thiols are highly exposed on the membranes. This exposure might be important for the function of these groups during GTP-triggered fusion.

Abstract
Rat liver microsome components were separated by capillary zone electrophoresis in buffers containing substituted agarose, agarose crosslinked polyacrylamide, polyacrylamide, polyethylene glycol and dextran of various molecular weights. The best resolution of the components was obtained with polymers of 10-21 nm geometric mean radius. Both the crude and the purified preparations of microsomes exhibit a single major peak. In a Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) buffer, containing polyacrylamide of 5 x 10(6) molecular weight, it has a retardation coefficient, KR, of 0.77 +/- 0.02. Translation of the KR value to geometric mean radii, R, on the basis of the standard curve applicable to polymer solutions, KR vs. R, with polystyrene carboxylate size standards in both dextran and polyacrylamide solution allows one to estimate a value of R as 13-16 nm for the major microsome component. The value is smaller than expected from electron microscopic measurements (100-250 nm), possibly due to the chemical and geometric differences between microsomes and the polystyrene particles used as size standards. The crude preparation also contains a minor component which is smaller and less charged than the major component. Another component, apparently very much larger than the major one, is seen in TBE buffer but not in a potassium-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-2'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) buffer and is therefore thought to be an artifact of interaction with borate. After a short incubation under conditions promoting delayed microsome fusion, i.e. in presence of GTP and Mg++ and in the absence of polyethylene glycol, the electrophoretic pattern changes dramatically: it now exhibits five unretarded, highly mobile and, therefore, presumably large components in addition to the two original retarded components of the microsome and a less highly charged species similar in KR to the smaller of the original two components.

Abstract
We have studied the effects of CoA and palmitoyl-CoA on Ca2+ movements and GTP-dependent vesicle fusion in rat liver microsomes. (1) Inhibition of membrane fusion by CoA depends on esterification of CoA to long-chain acyl-CoA using endogenous non-esterified fatty acids. (2) Binding of long-chain acyl-CoA to microsomal membranes is inhibited by BSA, which also relieves inhibition of membrane fusion. (3) Under conditions where acyl-CoA binding is inhibited, CoA causes increased Ca2+ accumulation, apparently by decreasing the Ca2+ leak rate. (4) Conversely, palmitoyl-CoA, in the presence of BSA, causes Ca2+ efflux. (5) The decrease in Ca(2+)-permeability caused by CoA does not depend on the presence of ATP or GTP, and is irreversible in the short term. (6) Using 14C-labelled CoA we show that CoA derivatives can be formed from endogenous components of microsomal membranes in the absence of ATP. (7) The results are interpreted in terms of a Ca(2+)-permeability which is controlled by CoA and/or long-chain acyl-CoA esters.

Abstract
To test whether in RINm5F rat insulinoma cells luminal acidity and the activity of a vacuolar-type proton pump are involved in calcium sequestration by intracellular calcium stores sensitive to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) we examined the effects of various proton-conducting ionophores and ammonium chloride, and of bafilomycin, a specific inhibitor of vacuolar proton pumps, on this parameter. Bafilomycin in concentrations up to 1 microM did not affect calcium sequestration by nonmitochondrial, InsP3-sensitive stores at all; 50 microM carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, 50 microM monensin and 30 mM NH4Cl, which are diverse ways to dissipate transmembrane pH gradients, did not inhibit calcium sequestration. This argues against signficant involvement of internal acidity and vacuolar proton pumps in calcium sequestration by InsP3-sensitive stores in RINm5F cells. The proton-potassium-exchanging ionophore nigericin (20-100 microM), however, inhibited calcium sequestration by nonmitochondrial and InsP3-sensitive stores. This effect was dependent on the presence of potassium and could be reversed by inclusion of carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone or acetate in the incubation medium. Thus, the inhibitory effect of nigericin appears to be based on proton extrusion coupled to potassium influx across the membrane of calcium stores in RINm5F cells, creating an internal alkalinization of these stores. The effect of nigericin implies the continuous maintenance of an outside-to-inside potassium concentration gradient by nonmitochondrial calcium stores in RINm5F cells. This feature will be of potential interest in the identification of InsP3-sensitive calcium-storing organelles.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is involved in the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular non-mitochondrial stores. In rat liver, it has been shown that the InsP3-binding site co-purifies with the plasma membrane. This suggests that in the liver the InsP3 receptor (InsP3R) associates with plasma membrane. We studied the subcellular distribution of the liver InsP3R by measuring the maximal binding capacity of [3H]InsP3 and using antibodies against the 14 C-terminal residues of the type 1 InsP3R. The antibodies recognized a large amount of an InsP3R protein of 260 kDa in a membrane fraction which is also enriched with [3H]InsP3-binding sites and with markers of the basal, the lateral and the bile-canalicular membrane and the plasma-membrane Ca2+ pump (PMCA). The fractions enriched in markers of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Ca2+ pump of the ER (SERCA2b) contained low levels of InsP3 receptors. The immunofluorescent labelling of cultured hepatocytes with anti-InsP3R antibodies indicated that the receptor is concentrated in the perinuclear area and in some regions near the plasma membrane. The fraction enriched with InsP3R is also contaminated with markers of the ER and with SERCA2b. It was exposed to alkaline medium (pH 10.5) to extract endogenous actin and membrane-associated proteins before being subfractionated by Percoll-gradient centrifugation. The alkaline treatment allowed partial separation of the markers of the ER from the markers of the plasma membrane. The InsP3R was recovered in the heavy subfraction, which was also enriched with markers for the ER and with the SERCA2b and contained low levels of markers of the plasma membrane. These data indicate that the InsP3R is neither localized on the plasma membrane itself nor homogeneously distributed on the ER membrane. This supports the view that part of the receptor is localized on a specialized sub-region of the ER which interacts with the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The distribution of total phospholipids, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes: (i) by mass assay and isotopic labelling in the fractions of plasma membranes, microsomes, mitochondria and nuclei prepared from isolated hepatocytes and (ii) by immunolocalization of PIP2 with a specific antibody (kt3g) in whole hepatocytes and isolated nuclei. Mass measurement and isotopic labelling showed that PIP was distributed in all four fractions. PIP2 was present in the plasma membrane and the nuclei. In whole cells, PIP2 was also detected in the plasma membrane by immunolocalization with the anti-PIP2 antibody kt3g. In unpolarized single hepatocytes, PIP2 distributed evenly throughout the plasma membrane. However, in polarized cell couplets, PIP2 was the most often undetectable in the lateral domain between the cells, and distributed preferentially in the sinusoidal domain of the plasma membrane. These results suggest that hepatocytes segregate PIP2 in particular domains of their plasma membrane. In purified fractions of nuclei, immunolocalization experiments showed that PIP2 was present uniquely in the nuclear envelope.

Abstract
We characterized and directly compared the Ca(2+)-releasing actions of two inhibitors of endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) Ca(2+)-ATPase, thapsigargin and 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBuBHQ), in electropermeabilized insulin-secreting RINm5F cells. Ambient free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]) was monitored by Ca(2+)-selective mini-electrodes. After ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake, thapsigargin and tBuBHQ released Ca2+ with and EC50 of approximately 37 nM and approximately 2 microM respectively. Both agents mobilized Ca2+ predominantly from the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool, and in this respect thapsigargin was more specific than tBuBHQ. The total increase in [Ca2+] obtained with thapsigargin and Ins(1,4,5)P3 was, on the average, only 7% greater than that with Ins(1,4,5)P3 alone. In contrast, the total increase in [Ca2+] obtained with tBuBHQ and Ins(1,4,5)P3 was 33% greater than that obtained with only InsP3 (P < 0.05). Although Ca2+ was rapidly mobilized by thapsigargin and tBuBHQ, complete depletion of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool was difficult to achieve. After the release by thapsigargin or tBuBHQ, Ins(1,4,5)P3 induced additional Ca2+ release. The additional Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release was not altered by supramaximal concentrations of thapsigargin and tBuBHQ, or by Bafilomycin A1, an inhibitor of V-type ATPases, but was decreased by prolonged treatment with the ER Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors. These results suggest the existence of distinct uptake and release compartments within the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool. When treated with the inhibitors, the two compartments became distinguishable on the basis of their Ca2+ permeability. Apparently, thapsigargin and tBuBHQ readily mobilized Ca2+ from the uptake compartment, whereas Ca2+ from the release compartment could be mobilized only very slowly, in the absence of Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Abstract
Ca-binding protein 2 (CaBP2) has been described previously as an intracisternal calcium-binding microsomal glycoprotein. We report now the primary sequence of this protein as deduced from the corresponding cDNA. The protein possesses a C-terminal -KEEL retention sequence and three repeats of the thioredoxin-like motive -EFYAPNCGHCK-, and represents the rat homolog of ERp72. In contrast to earlier reports on ERp72, CaBP2 possesses significant proteindisulfide isomerase activity. Furthermore, in contrast to ERp72, CaBP2 is a glycoporotein containing O-linked glycans. The amount of CaBP2 in H-35 Reuber hepatoma cells increases in parallel with that of immunoglobin heavy-chain-binding protein under conditions which lead to impaired glycosylation, while the amount of calreticulin, another KDEL-containing glycoprotein, remains almost unchanged.

Abstract
(1) CoA (IC50 23 microM) and acyl-CoAs (IC50 values 15-18 microM) inhibit GTP-dependent vesicle fusion in rat liver microsomal vesicles. Acyl-CoAs of carbon chain length C8 and C20 are much less effective than acyl-CoAs of carbon chain length C14-C18. The effect of CoA is mimicked by dephospho-CoA, but not by desulpho-CoA. High acyl-CoA concentrations (50 microM) appear to favour formation of small vesicles (budding), while 50 microM CoA does not. (2) Low concentrations of CoA (EC50 2 microM) and palmitoyl-CoA (10 microM) cause re-accumulation of Ca2+ released in response to GTP. This re-accumulation is into an Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive compartment. By investigation of the effects of CoA and palmitoyl-CoA on the thapsigargin-induced passive leak rate of Ca2+, and on the latency of the mannose-6-phosphatase of the vesicles, we conclude that CoA and palmitoyl-CoA cause decreased vesicle permeability rather than stimulation of Ca2+ pumping activity. (3) It is suggested that GTP-induced membrane fusion in rat liver microsomes involves an as yet uncharacterized acylation-deacylation reaction which is required to produce complete vesicle sealing.

Abstract
The possible relevance of alterations in intracellular Ca2+ and hepatic glutathione levels (GSH) in the pathogenesis of cholestasis induced by lithocholic acid (LCA) was examined by comparing effects of LCA and acetaminophen on these parameters and bile flow (BF) in rats. Intracellular Ca2+ activity was measured via glycogen phosphorylase a determination in rats given an intravenous bolus injection of either LCA (12 mumol/100 g body wt.), acetaminophen (60 mg/100 g body wt.), or a mixed solution of LCA and acetaminophen. BF was reduced immediately after LCA administration, with a maximum decrease occurring at 60 min followed by an increase to normal values at 210 min. On the other hand, glycogen phosphorylase a activity was elevated during all time periods after LCA treatment. Hepatic glutathione followed the BF curves being markedly depleted at the peak of cholestasis (60 min) and normal in the total recovery period (210 min). In contrast, acetaminophen had no effect on BF but significantly increased glycogen phosphorylase a activity and depleted hepatic glutathione levels. These results suggest that cholestatic effect of LCA is not due to changes in intracellular Ca2+ or hepatic glutathione levels.

Abstract
A group of proteins binding to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) has been identified in rat liver microsomes by a nitrocellulose blot-overlay technique. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE, blotted on nitrocellulose and incubated with [32P]IP3 followed by autoradiography. Approximately eight IP3-binding polypeptides ranging M(r) 23-50 kDA were present exclusively in microsomes; these were absent from plasma membrane and mitochondrial fractions. Binding of [32P]IP3 to these proteins was displaceable to a great extent by 5 microM unlabeled IP3 but not by 10 microM IP1, IP2, IP4, ATP, or GTP gamma S. These results suggest that liver microsomes contain multiple forms of IP3-binding proteins that can be detected by this new method.

Abstract
Previous work from this laboratory has shown that the electrically evoked release of enkephalin from the guinea pig myenteric plexus is regulated by an opiate receptor-mediated, concentration-dependent mechanism. Low concentrations (nanomolar) of opioids enhance release, whereas higher concentrations (10-100 nM) inhibit release. Each opioid effect is mediated by a different guanine nucleotide-binding protein. We now demonstrate that activation of cholinergic receptors in the myenteric plexus is a prerequisite for opioid excitatory effects, but not inhibitory effects, on enkephalin release. Pretreatment with the muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist atropine abolishes the opioid facilitation of stimulated enkephalin release but does not alter the inhibition of release that is observed with higher concentrations of opioid agonist. Exposure to the calcium ionophore A23187 overcomes the abolishment of opioid enhancement of enkephalin release produced by cholinergic receptor blockade. In tissue treated with both atropine and A23187, the magnitude of the opioid enhancement of release is indistinguishable from that observed in untreated preparations. This suggests that the lack of stimulation-induced generation of elevated cytosolic calcium is responsible for the abolishment of facilitory opioid effects when cholinergic receptors are blocked. The known coupling of muscarinic receptors to phospholipase C activation and the generation of inositol trisphosphate (which elevates cytosolic calcium) could suggest that this second messenger is critical for the manifestation of opioid facilitation of enkephalin release.

Abstract
Ciprofibrate, a peroxisome proliferating agent, induces cell proliferation in rodent liver during the early periods of exposure. Since Ca2+ plays an important role in mitogenesis, we have investigated the effects of ciprofibrate on hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+)-ATPase, which in part regulates Ca2+ homeostasis. A single oral dose of 200 mg/kg ciprofibrate to male F344 rats produced a transient decrease in liver microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase activity to 48% of control levels at 24 hr post-exposure. Activity had returned to control levels by 48 and 72 hr after exposure. The decrease in Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was not a function of non-specific enzymatic inhibition, since activity of another microsomal enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase, was not altered in ciprofibrate-exposed rats. Using an ATP-driven 45Ca2+ accumulation assay, rats exposed to 25, 100 and 200 mg/kg ciprofibrate exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of liver microsomal Ca2+ accumulation at 24 hr post-exposure. Analysis of Western immunoblots using a polyclonal antibody to the liver ER Ca(2+)-ATPase revealed a marginal increase in Ca(2+)-ATPase protein content in microsomes prepared from ciprofibrate-exposed rats compared to controls 24 hr post-exposure. These data indicate that the reduction of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity is not attributable to diminished Ca(2+)-ATPase protein content in vivo and, therefore, is due to a functional inhibition of the enzyme. Ciprofibrate also produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of rat liver ER Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in vitro (IC50 approximately 170 microM). In freshly isolated rat hepatocytes, ciprofibrate elevated the free intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the presence and absence of extracellular calcium. Collectively, these results suggest that ciprofibrate mobilizes hepatic [Ca2+]i via inhibition of the ER Ca(2+)-ATPase. These events may lead to an environment of elevated [Ca2+]i during the early stages of ciprofibrate exposure and may serve to augment Ca(2+)-dependent processes, thus playing a pivotal role in the acute mitogenic response.

Abstract
1. Inhibition of GTP-dependent membrane fusion of rat liver microsomes requires preincubation of the membranes with GDP (17 microM) and relatively high Mg2+ concentration (0.5 mM) as well as AlCl3 (30 microM) and KF (5 mM). Preincubation is required for maximal inhibition (75%). 2. Vesicle fusion in rat liver microsomes has been demonstrated in the absence of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Further, inhibition by AlF4- of GTP-dependent vesicle fusion in the absence of PEG has been demonstrated. 3. Under similar preincubation conditions AlF4- can bring about inhibition (80%) of the high-affinity PEG-stimulated GTPase activity in rat liver microsomes, previously described by Nicchitta, Joseph & Williamson [(1986) FEBS Lett. 209, 243-248]. 4. Preincubation of small-Mr GTP-binding proteins (Gn proteins) on nitrocellulose strips with GDP (20 pM), AlCl3 (30 microM) and KF (5 mM) results in inhibition of binding of guanosine 5'-[gamma-[35S]thio]triphosphate to Gn proteins. The extent of inhibition of this binding differs for different Gn proteins.

Abstract
The role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores of non-muscle cells has been extensively demonstrated; however, the nature of the organelle releasing the Ca2+ is still poorly understood. The distributions of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding sites and of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool were investigated in subcellular fractions obtained from rat liver and compared with those of other markers. The Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding vesicles appeared to be completely distinct from the endoplasmic-reticulum-derived microsomes and were enriched in the same fractions which were enriched in alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity. This co-purification of the plasma-membrane marker with the Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding sites was dramatically altered after freezing or after treatment of the homogenate with the microfilament-disruptive drug cytochalasin B, suggesting that the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive organelle may be linked to the plasma membrane through the actin microfilaments. No correlation was observed between the Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding capacity and the portion of the Ca2+ pool that was released by Ins(1,4,5)P3. This may result from the disruption of the native organelle during homogenization, leading to the formation of vesicles containing the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor, but lacking the Ca2+ pump. These results are consistent with the idea of a specialized Ins(1,4,5)P3-regulated organelle distinct from the endoplasmic reticulum, and we propose a model of the structural organization of this organelle, in which the anchorage to the cytoskeleton as well as the spatial separation of the Ca2+ pump from the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor have important functional significance.

Abstract
Extracellular calcium concentrations markedly affect the pattern of proliferation and differentiation in cultured keratinocytes. When medium contains 0.1 mM calcium or above, the cells lose their proliferative ability, rapidly stratify, and terminally differentiate. Because 1,25(OH)2D3 (a modulator of Ca++ homeostasis) enhances the differentiation of keratinocytes, we investigated whether a link exists between 1,25(OH)2D3-induced release of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) from PtdIns 4,5-P2 and intracellular calcium [Ca++]i release from keratinocytes. Specifically, primary culture of keratinocytes were loaded with fluorescence dye Fura-2AM (10 microM) and changes in fluorescence intensity were monitored at the excitation wavelengths of 340 and 380 nm and emission wavelength of 505 nm. Additions of two agonists, 1,25(OH)2D3 (1.2 x 10(-9) M) and 13-Cis retinoic acid (0.2 x 10(-9) M), to dye-loaded keratinocytes induced rapid release of [Ca++]i, respectively, followed by gradual return to the prestimulated state. Addition of Ins(1,4,5)P3 (10 microM) to saponin-treated (leaky) keratinocytes also resulted in a rapid release of [Ca++]i. In contrast, the addition of inositol-1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 at similar concentrations exerted negligible effect. Taken together, these results support the view that 1,25(OH)2D3-induced [Ca++]i release in keratinocytes may be via the Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced early release of intracellular [Ca++]i. This may explain, at least in part, 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced keratinocyte differentiation.

Abstract
The generation of second messengers during phagocytosis of yeast by Acanthamoeba castellanii was examined. The kinetics of binding and internalization of yeast by Acanthamoeba were measured and this was compared with the generation of known second messengers. We observed stimulated degradation of PI-4, 5-P2 to 1,4,5 IP3 with kinetics similar to that observed for the binding of yeast to amoeba. Similar production of IP3 could be induced upon treatment with a soluble mannosylated glycoprotein. We propose that the Acanthamoeba mannose receptor stimulates the degradation of PI-4, 5-P2 to 1,4,5 IP3 as an initial event in phagocytosis.

Abstract
It has been established that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate(IP3) is responsible for the mobilization of calcium(Ca2+) from intracellular locations in a wide variety of tissues, and that this response triggers the stimulation of several hormones and neurotransmitters. However, these phenomena have yet to be examined in the mammary epithelium. Ca2+ uptake from the medium into the endoplasmic reticulum(ER) and Golgi apparatus in vitro in both pregnant and lactating mouse mammary epithelial cells was studied and a strong Ca2+ release from these organelles into the medium with the use of IP3 was shown. The Ca2+ uptake and its release due to IP3 was also usually greater during pregnancy than lactation.

Abstract
Thapsigargin, a tumor-promoting sesquiterpene lactone, discharges intracellular Ca2+ in rat hepatocytes, as it does in many vertebrate cell types. It appears to act intracellularly, as incubation of isolated rat liver microsomes with thapsigargin induces a rapid, dose-dependent release of stored Ca2+. The thapsigargin-releasable pool of microsomal Ca2+ includes the pools sensitive to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and GTP. Thapsigargin pretreatment of microsomes blocks subsequent loading with 45Ca2+, suggesting that its target is the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump of endoplasmic reticulum. This hypothesis is strongly supported by the demonstration that thapsigargin causes a rapid inhibition of the Ca2(+)-activated ATPase activity of rat liver microsomes, with an identical dose dependence to that seen in whole cell or isolated microsome Ca2+ discharge. The inhibition of the endoplasmic reticulum isoform of the Ca2(+)-ATPase is highly selective, as thapsigargin has little or no effect on the Ca2(+)-ATPases of hepatocyte or erythrocyte plasma membrane or of cardiac or skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. These results suggest that thapsigargin increases the concentration of cytosolic free Ca2+ in sensitive cells by an acute and highly specific arrest of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump, followed by a rapid Ca2+ leak from at least two pharmacologically distinct Ca2+ stores. The implications of this mechanism of action for the application of thapsigargin in the analysis of Ca2+ homeostasis and possible forms of Ca2+ control are discussed.

Abstract
The ability of heparin to interact with the Ins 1,4,5-P3 receptor is dependent on its chain length and degree of sulphation. Here we report results obtained with two sulphonated dye compounds of known structures and molecular weights below 1000, cibacron blue and Patent blue. Both compounds compete for Ins 1,4,5-P3 binding to rat liver microsomes and also inhibit Ins 1,4,5-P3 5'-phosphatase activity in the same preparation. Comparison with the effects of heparin show these to be two separate actions of the compounds.

Abstract
Two binding sites for [32P]myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) were detected in a crude particulate fraction prepared from rat liver homogenate and in permeabilized hepatocytes. The same high- and low-affinity sites with KDs of 1.8-2.6 nM and 35-71 nM, respectively, were detected in subcellular fractions enriched in plasma membranes, mitochondria and microsomes, with relative proportions close to those found in the crude membrane fraction. The order of potency of three inositol phosphates in inhibiting [32P]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to the two sites, i.e. Ins(1,4,5)P3 greater than Ins(2,4,5)P3] greater than Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, and the inhibition by heparin, strongly suggest that neither of the binding sites reflected components due to the 3-kinase or the 5-phosphatase. A close correlation was observed between the dose-response curves for Ca2+ release by Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(2,4,5)P3 and the occupancy of the low-affinity binding site by these agonists. These results support the view that the two [32P]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding sites are two forms of the same receptor.

Abstract
The positive inotropic effect of the alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine is accompanied by an increase in the presumed second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3) and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (1,3,4,5-IP4). Both 1,4,5-IP3 and 1,3,4,5-IP4 sensitize myocardial contractile proteins in chemically skinned fibers. In addition to the Ca++ releasing effect of 1,4,5-IP3 from the sarcoplasmic reticulum the Ca++-sensitizing effect of the inositol phosphates may play a role in alpha 1-adrenergic positive inotropism. In isolated heart muscle preparations from patients with endstage heart failure (due to dilated cardiomyopathy) beta-adrenergic as well as alpha 1-adrenergic effects are reduced compared to preparations from healthy hearts. The reduced beta-adrenergic effects can in part be explained by an increased content of signal transducing G1-proteins. It is tempting to investigate whether other G proteins are also altered in severe congestive heart failure.

Abstract
The properties of calcium transport in microsomes and the effect of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) on accumulated calcium were studied in rat thymocytes. Active calcium transport shows an apparent affinity constant for calcium of 0.2 +/- 0.01 microM and a maximal velocity of 2.3 +/- 0.6 nmol/mg/30 min (mean +/- SD). IP3 was able to induce release of calcium only in the absence of oxalate. At 6 microM ambient free calcium, half-maximal effect of IP3 was attained at 2 microM and maximal calcium release was produced by IP3 concentrations over 5 microM. Barium and strontium did not modify calcium uptake by microsomes but markedly inhibited the action of IP3.

Abstract
Readdition to rat liver microsomes of dialysed liver post-microsomal supernatant resulted in an almost complete inhibition of the Ca2+-releasing effect of GTP. Such inhibition was heat-labile, and was associated with non-ultrafiltrable supernatant components with a molecular weight higher than 30,000 D. A preliminary fractionation of liver supernatant showed that the inhibitory effect is recovered in the 40-50% ammonium sulfate-precipitated proteins, with an approx. 10-fold enrichment. The active ammonium sulfate fraction did not modify the GTP-induced Ca2+ increase of passive Ca2+ efflux from microsomes, nor did it affect microsomal GTP hydrolysis, which is likely required for its Ca2+ releasing effect. The active ammonium sulfate fraction appears to markedly favour the translocation of GTP-released Ca2+ into a microsomal GTP-insensitive pool. Separation of liver microsomes in smooth and rough fractions revealed that such GTP-insensitive Ca2+ pool is almost completely associated with smooth microsomes.

Abstract
Heparin is known to inhibit the binding of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins 1,4,5-P3) to high-affinity binding sites and to inhibit Ins 1,4,5-P3-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular membrane-bound stores [(1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 12132-12136; (1987) FEBS Lett. 228, 57-59]. We have performed studies to clarify the structural requirements for this action of heparin in rat liver microsomes. Both N- and O-linked sulphate groups contribute to binding activity, since de-N-sulphated heparin was without effect on the Ins 1,4,5-P3 receptor whereas a polyxylan bearing only O-linked sulphates (pentosan polysulphate) was as active as heparin. Therefore, the density of negative charge contributed by sulphate groups is important for the binding of heparin. Heparins with high and low affinity for antithrombin III both inhibited Ins 1,4,5-P3 binding. There was a strong dependence on chain length, since binding activity decreased dramatically as the size of the heparin chain was reduced below that of 18-24 monosaccharide units.

Abstract
Smooth muscle of guinea-pig taenia caecum was desensitized by treatment with 10(-4)M carbachol or 10(-4)M histamine for 30 min in Ca-free solution containing 2mM EGTA. Phosphatidylinositol turnover stimulated by carbachol was not reduced by desensitization with either carbachol or histamine, while the turnover stimulated by histamine was reduced by desensitization with histamine, but not with carbachol. These results are consistent with our previous report (1) that heterologous desensitization induced by carbachol occurs at intracellular Ca stores and homologous desensitization by histamine occurs at H1 receptors.

Abstract
Our initial observation that GTP could, under some experimental conditions, have profound effects on Ca2+ movements across endoplasmic reticulum membranes arose from attempts to increase the sensitivity of rat liver microsomes to inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3). Most preparations of microsomal fractions from rat liver release only a very small percentage of accumulated Ca2+ on addition of IP3. We found, rather empirically, that the addition of microM concentrations of GTP greatly enhanced the amount of Ca2+ releasable by IP3. The initial, very appealing, hypothesis was to postulate a direct effect of GTP on the IP3-sensitive Ca2+ channel. This idea is no longer tenable, as will be described below. The more likely explanation, that GTP has its effect by either fusing small microsomal vesicles together or by allowing some form of communication between adjacent membranes is considerably more complex mechanistically and also possibly has far reaching implications for the mechanisms by which cells organise and maintain their reticular structures.

Abstract
1. Limited proteolytic digestion of rat liver microsomes (microsomal fractions) with trypsin (5 micrograms/ml), proteinase K (1.0 microgram/ml) and Pronase (20 micrograms/ml final concns.) resulted in abolition of GTP-dependent vesicle fusion. 2. Vesicle fusion could be partially restored to microsomes which had undergone limited tryptic digestion, by the addition of untreated microsomal vesicles. 3. GTP-dependent Ca2+ efflux from rat liver microsomes was also observed to be inhibited by limited proteolysis with trypsin and proteinase K. 4. Limited proteolysis of rat liver microsomes had no effect on subsequent GTP-dependent phosphorylation of polypeptides of Mr 17,000 and 38,000, and thus it is unlikely that the phosphorylation of these proteins is involved in GTP-dependent Ca2+ efflux and GTP-dependent vesicle fusion. 5. GTP binding by Gn proteins [proteins which bind GTP after transfer to nitrocellulose, as defined by Bhullar & Haslam (1986) Biochem. J. 245, 617-620] was inhibited by pre-treatment of microsomes with trypsin, proteinase K and Pronase at concentrations similar to those which abolished GTP-dependent Ca2+ efflux and vesicle fusion. 6. We suggest that one or more of the Gn proteins may be involved in the molecular mechanisms of GTP-dependent vesicle fusion and Ca2+ efflux in rat liver microsomes and that limited proteolytic digestion may be a useful tool in further investigation of these processes.

Abstract
The GTP-dependent calcium release from rat liver microsomes is known to be promoted in the presence of colloids like polyethyleneglycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidine, or albumin. Dawson et al. [(1987) Biochem. J. 244, 87-92] using the 'fusogen' PEG have concluded that both GTP-induced calcium efflux and the enhancement of InsP3-promoted calcium release in the presence of GTP could be attributed to a GTP-dependent vesicle fusion. Here, using the more physiological colloid albumin we report that GTP-induced calcium release from rat liver microsomes may not be linked to vesicle fusion.

Abstract
The present investigation determined the binding characteristics of the radiolabeled second messenger, [3H]In(1,4,5)P3, in cerebral cortical and cerebellar membrane fragments from ethanol sensitive (LS) and resistant (SS) mice. The data demonstrated that in the two brain regions examined, LS and SS mouse lines do not differ with regard to their maximal receptor binding capacities or dissociation constants for [3H]In(1,4,5)P3. Moreover, [3H]In(1,4,5)P3 specific binding in cerebellum is inhibited in the presence of ethanol to the same extent in both mouse lines. It is concluded that the differential behavioral and cerebellar sensitivities to ethanol previously observed in these mouse lines do not reflect differences in [3H]In(1,4,5)P3 receptor binding characteristics of the brain regions examined.

Abstract
The effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK8), bombesin and manganese (Mn2+) on phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis were studied in AR42J cells. One-half maximal stimulation of inositol monophosphate (InsP1) accumulation occurred at either 5 nM CCK8 or 5 nM bombesin, and maximal stimulation occurred at 30 nM for each agonist. Mn2+ did not alter basal PIP2 hydrolysis. However, addition of Mn2+ 5 min prior to stimulation with either CCK8 or bombesin for 60 min significantly attenuated [3H]InsP1 accumulation. Following brief periods of incubation with CCK8 (15 sec) Mn2+ significantly reduced inositol tris- and tetrakisphosphate accumulation. These data suggest that Mn2+ may participate in the regulation of CCK8- and bombesin-mediated generation of phosphoinositides.

Abstract
Inside-out plasma-membrane vesicles isolated from rat liver [Prpic, Green, Blackmore & Exton (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 1382-1385] accumulated a substantial amount of 45Ca2+ when they were incubated in a medium whose ionic composition and pH mimicked those of cytosol and which contained MgATP. The Vmax of the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate was 2.9 +/- 0.6 nmol/min per mg and the Km for Ca2+ was 0.50 +/- 0.08 microM. The ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake by inside-out plasma-membrane vesicles was about 20 times more sensitive to saponin than was the ATP-dependent uptake by a microsomal preparation. The 45Ca2+ efflux from the inside-out vesicles, which is equivalent to the Ca2+ influx in intact cells, was increased when the free Ca2+ concentration in the medium was decreased. The Ca2+ antagonists La3+ and Co2+ inhibited the 45Ca2+ efflux from the vesicles. Neomycin stimulated the Ca2+ efflux in the presence of either a high or a low free Ca2+ concentration. These results confirm that polyvalent cations regulate Ca2+ fluxes through the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The relative roles of protein kinase C in regulating excitatory amino acid-, cholinoceptor-, and adrenoceptor-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis were studied. Slices of rat hippocampus were prelabeled with [3H]-myo-inositol, and agonist-induced [3H]-phosphoinositide hydrolysis was measured by the formation of [3H]-inositol monophosphate ([3H]-IP) in the presence of lithium ion. Activation of protein kinase C with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) (10(-6) M) completely inhibited ibotenate (IBO) (10(-3) M)-induced [3H]-phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Half-maximal inhibition was observed at about 10(-7) M PDB. Higher concentrations of PDB were required to inhibit stimulation of [3H]-IP by either carbachol (CARB) (10(-3) M) or norepinephrine (NE) (10(-4) M, and only partial inhibition could be attained. Preincubation with staurosporine (STAURO) (10(-5) M) or 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) (10(-4) M), inhibitors of protein kinase C, potentiated IBO- but not CARB- or NE-induced stimulation of [3H]-IP. PDB inhibition of IBO- or NE-stimulated [3H]-phosphoinositide hydrolysis was reversed by co-addition of STAURO or H-7. In the case of IBO + STAURO, this reversal was to the potentiated level observed with STAURO alone. Enhanced agonist stimulation and reversal of PDB inhibition were also produced by STAURO when [3H]-phosphoinositide hydrolysis was stimulated by either L-glutamate or quisqualate. These experiments show that direct activation of protein kinase C by PDB leads to inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis mediated by excitatory amino acid receptors, cholinoceptors, or adrenoceptors. However, the enhanced agonist-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis elicited by inhibitors of protein kinase C suggests that, when protein kinase C is indirectly activated, only excitatory amino acids rapidly inhibit further receptor-coupling.

Abstract
[3H]Pentoxifylline and [3H]propentofylline were taken up by human platelets in a dose-dependent manner probably involving a passive diffusion through the plasma membrane. In vitro, the two drugs were able to inhibit platelet activation induced by thrombin. serotonin secretion was reduced from 57% to 38% and 28% in the presence of 1 mM pentoxifylline and 1 mM propentofylline, respectively. Platelet aggregation was inhibited in the same way. Modifications of [14C]arachidonic acid metabolism in human platelets stimulated by thrombin were then measured in the presence of drugs. Preincubation of platelets with 1 mM pentoxifylline or propentofylline inhibited the production of [14C]arachidonic acid metabolites, without any accumulation of free arachidonic acid, suggesting an action at a step preceding its conversion. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis measured upon thrombin treatment as well as phosphatidic acid production were reduced or suppressed in the presence of the drugs. A dose-dependence study showed that phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis was totally inhibited at 5.10(-4) M propentofylline, while phosphatidic acid formation was reduced by only 40%. Propentofylline was in general more efficient than pentoxifylline in inhibiting events occurring upon thrombin stimulation. Our results suggest that the two methylxanthines inhibit both phospholipase A2 and phospholipase C, the former displaying a greater sensitivity to the two drugs.

Abstract
This study probes the extent of coupling between the reversal of epidermal hyperproliferation induced by essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency in guinea pigs, the hydrolysis of epidermal phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns4,5P2), and the rapid formation of inositol triphosphate (InsP3). Our data revealed that the incorporation of free [3H]-inositol into phosphatidylinositol 4P and PtdIns4,5P2 of microsomal preparations from hyperproliferative epidermis was markedly elevated when compared with epidermis from normal-fed animals. The reversal of the hyperproliferating epidermis by dietary cross-over supplementations with safflower oil and primrose oil resulted in striking morphological normalization, cellular decrease in epidermal DNA synthesis, decrease in the biosynthesis of 14C-PtdIn4,5P2 from precursor 14C-inositol, and a significant increase in the rapid generation of transient InsP3 by epidermis from the cross-over-fed animals. These findings taken together indicate that the reversal of epidermal hyperproliferation to normal in guinea pig skin and the increased capability of the tissue microsomal preparation to generate InsP3 are linked in this tissue, and raise the possibility that epidermal inositol-phospholipid metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis of cutaneous hyperproliferative disorders.
