Abstract
Inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) mediated Ca+2 signaling is essential in determining the cell fate by regulating numerous cellular processes, including cell division and cell death. Despite extensive studies about the characterization of IP3R in cancer, the underlying molecular mechanism initiating the cell proliferation and apoptosis remained enigmatic. Moreover, in cancer, the modulation of IP3R in downstream signaling pathways, which control oncogenesis and cancer progression, is not well characterized. Here, we constructed a biological regulatory network (BRN), and describe the remodeling of IP3R mediated Ca2+ signaling as a central key that controls the cellular processes in cancer. Moreover, we summarize how the inhibition of IP3R affects the deregulated cell proliferation and cell death in cancer cells and results in the initiation of pro-survival responses in resistance of cell death in normal cells. Further, we also investigated the role of stereo-specificity of IP3 molecule and its analogs in binding with the IP3 receptor. Molecular docking simulations showed that the hydroxyl group at R6 position along with the phosphate group at R5 position in 'R' conformation is more favorable for IP3 interactions. Additionally, Arg-266 and Arg-510 showed π-π and hydrogen bond interactions and Ser-278 forms hydrogen bond interactions with the IP3 binding site. Thus, they are identified as crucial for the binding of antagonists.

Structural and dynamic insights into the subtype-specific IP3-binding mechanism of the IP3 receptor. Biochem J 2016; 473:3533-3543.

Abstract
There are three subtypes of vertebrate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R), a Ca2+-release channel on the ER membrane — IP3R1, IP3R2, and IP3R3 — each of which has a distinctive role in disease development. To determine the subtype-specific IP3-binding mechanism, we compared the thermodynamics, thermal stability, and conformational dynamics between the N-terminal regions of IP3R1 (IP3R1-NT) and IP3R3 (IP3R3-NT) by performing circular dichroism (CD), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and hydrogen–deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS). Previously determined crystal structures of IP3R1-NT and HDX-MS results from this study revealed that both IP3R1 and IP3R3 adopt a similar IP3-binding mechanism. However, several regions, including the α- and β-interfaces, of IP3R1-NT and IP3R3-NT show significantly different conformational dynamics upon IP3 binding, which may explain the different IP3-binding affinities between the subtypes. The importance of the interfaces for subtype-specific IP3 binding is also supported by the different dynamic conformations of the two subtypes in the apo-states. Furthermore, IP3R1-NT and IP3R3-NT show different IP3-binding affinities and thermal stabilities, but share similar thermodynamic properties for IP3 binding. These results collectively provide new insights into the mechanism underlying IP3 binding to IP3Rs and the subtype-specific regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca(2+)) release from reticular stores is a vital regulatory signal in eukaryotes. Recent structural data on large NH(2)-terminal regions of IP(3)Rs and RyRs and their tetrameric arrangement in the full-length context reveal striking mechanistic similarities in Ca(2+) release channel function. A common ancestor found in unicellular genomes underscores the fundamentality of these elements to Ca(2+) release channels.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are the largest known ion channels. They are Ca(2+) release channels found primarily on the sarcoplasmic reticulum of myocytes. Several hundred mutations in RyRs are associated with skeletal or cardiomyocyte disease in humans. Many of these mutations can now be mapped onto the high resolution structures of individual RyR domains and on full-length tetrameric cryo-electron microscopy structures. A closely related Ca(2+) release channel, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphospate receptor (IP3 R), shows a conserved structural architecture at the N-terminus, suggesting that both channels evolved from an ancestral unicellular RyR/IP3 R. The functional insights provided by recent structural studies for both channels will aid in the development of rationale treatments for a myriad of Ca(2+)-signaled malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The kidney is a major organ involved in calcium (Ca(2+)) metabolism. Ca(2+) is transported through renal tubular epithelial cells. The intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) is tightly controlled at a low concentration, but transient increases and oscillations in [Ca(2+)](i) are induced by various conditions. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations observed in MDCK cells. METHODS [Ca(2+)](i) was monitored in fura-2-loaded Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells using a calcium imaging system. We investigated the mechanism by which [Ca(2+)](i) changed by applying drugs or by changing the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration. RESULTS Spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations occurred in MDCK cells. The oscillations occurred irregularly and were not transmitted to neighboring cells. Spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in MDCK cells were initiated by Ca(2+) release from ryanodine/IP(3)-sensitive intracellular calcium stores, and their frequency was largely unaffected by the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Moreover, the frequency of the oscillations was increased by extracellular nucleotide, but was decreased when the nucleotides were removed. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that [Ca(2+)](i) release from ryanodine/IP(3)-sensitive intracellular calcium stores mediates spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in MDCK cells. Calcium oscillations may be associated with the function of the renal tubular epithelial cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is essential for numerous cell functions and is generated by consecutive reactions catalyzed by CDP-diacylglycerol synthase (CDS) and PI synthase. In this study, we investigated the membrane organization of CDP-diacylglycerol synthesis. Separation of mildly disrupted A431 cell membranes on sucrose density gradients revealed cofractionation of CDS and PI synthase activities with cholesterol-poor, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and partial overlap with plasma membrane caveolae. Cofractionation of CDS activity with caveolae was also observed when low-buoyant density caveolin-enriched membranes were prepared using a carbonate-based method. However, immunoisolation studies determined that CDS activity localized to ER membrane fragments containing calnexin and type III inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors but not to caveolae. Membrane fragmentation in neutral pH buffer established that CDP-diacylglycerol and PI syntheses were restricted to a subfraction of the calnexin-positive ER. In contrast to lipid rafts enriched for caveolin, cholesterol, and GM1 glycosphingolipids, the CDS-containing ER membranes were detergent soluble. In cell imaging studies, CDS and calnexin colocalized in microdomain-sized patches of the ER and also unexpectedly at the plasma membrane. These results demonstrate that key components of the PI pathway localize to nonraft, phospholipid-synthesizing microdomains of the ER that are also enriched for calnexin.

Abstract
KRAS-induced actin-interacting protein (KRAP) was originally characterized as a filamentous-actin-interacting protein. We have recently found that KRAP is an associated molecule with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) and is critical for the proper subcellular localization and function of IP(3)R. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of IP(3)R by KRAP remain elusive. In this report, to determine the critical region of KRAP protein for the regulation of IP(3)R, we generate several mutants of KRAP and examine the association with IP(3)R using coimmunoprecipitation and confocal imaging assays. Coimmunoprecipitations using the deletion mutants reveal that amino-acid residues 1-218 but not 1-199 of KRAP interact with IP(3)R, indicating that the 19-length amino-acid residues (200-218) are essential for the association with IP(3)R. This critical region is highly conserved between human and mouse KRAP. Within the critical region, substitutions of two phenylalanine residues (Phe202/Phe203) in mouse KRAP to alanines result in failure of the association with IP(3)R, suggesting that the two consecutive phenylalanine residues are indispensable for the association. Moreover, the KRAP-knockdown stable HeLa cells exhibit the inappropriate subcellular localization of IP(3)R, in which exogenous expression of full-length of KRAP properly restores the subcellular localization of IP(3)R, but not the 1-218 or 1-236 mutant, indicating that the residual carboxyl-terminal region is also required for the proper subcellular localization of KRAP-IP(3)R complex. All these results provide insight into the understandings for the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of IP(3)R, and would reveal a potent strategy for the drug development targeting on IP(3)R.

KRAS-induced actin-interacting protein is required for the proper localization of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in the epithelial cells. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2011; 407:438-43.

Abstract
Three inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) subtypes are differentially expressed among tissues and function as the Ca(2+) release channel on specialized endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes. The proper subcellular localization of IP(3)R is crucial for its proper function, but this molecular mechanism is unclear. KRAS-induced actin-interacting protein (KRAP) was originally identified as a cancer-related molecule, and is involved in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis and pancreatic exocrine system. We herein identified IP(3)R as an associated molecule with KRAP in vivo, and the association was validated by the co-immunoprecipitation and confocal immunostaining studies in mouse tissues including liver and pancreas. The association of KRAP with IP(3)R was also observed in the human epithelial cell lines including HCT116, HeLa and HEK293 cells. Intriguingly, KRAP interacts with distinct subtypes of IP(3)R in a tissue-dependent manner, i.e. IP(3)R1 and IP(3)R2 in the liver and IP(3)R2 and IP(3)R3 in the pancreas. The NH(2)-terminal amino acid residues 1-610 of IP(3)R are critical for the association with KRAP and KRAP-IP(3)R complex resides in a specialized ER but not a typical reticular ER. Furthermore, the localization of particular IP(3)R subtypes in tissues from KRAP-deficient mice is obviously disturbed, i.e. IP(3)R1 and IP(3)R2 in the liver and IP(3)R2 and IP(3)R3 in the pancreas. These findings demonstrate that KRAP physically associates with IP(3)R and regulates the proper localization of IP(3)R in the epithelial cells in vivo and cultured cells, and might shed light on the Ca(2+) signaling underlying physiological cellular programs, cancer development and metabolism-related diseases.

Abstract
The three isoforms of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) exhibit distinct IP(3) sensitivities and cooperativities in calcium (Ca(2+)) channel function. The determinants underlying this isoform-specific channel gating mechanism have been localized to the N-terminal suppressor region of IP(3)R. We determined the 1.9 Å crystal structure of the suppressor domain from type 3 IP(3)R (IP(3)R3(SUP), amino acids 1-224) and revealed structural features contributing to isoform-specific functionality of IP(3)R by comparing it with our previously determined structure of the type 1 suppressor domain (IP(3)R1(SUP)). The molecular surface known to associate with the ligand binding domain (amino acids 224-604) showed marked differences between IP(3)R3(SUP) and IP(3)R1(SUP). Our NMR and biochemical studies showed that three spatially clustered residues (Glu-20, Tyr-167, and Ser-217 in IP(3)R1 and Glu-19, Trp-168, and Ser-218 in IP(3)R3) within the N-terminal suppressor domains of IP(3)R1(SUP) and IP(3)R3(SUP) interact directly with their respective C-terminal fragments. Together with the accompanying paper (Yamazaki, H., Chan, J., Ikura, M., Michikawa, T., and Mikoshiba, K. (2010) J. Biol. Chem. 285, 36081-36091), we demonstrate that the single aromatic residue in this region (Tyr-167 in IP(3)R1 and Trp-168 in IP(3)R3) plays a critical role in the coupling between ligand binding and channel gating.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP(3) R1) is an intracellular Ca(2+) release channel that plays crucial roles in the functions of Purkinje cells. The dynamics of IP(3) R1 on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and the distribution of IP(3) R1 in neurons are thought to be important for the spatial regulation of Ca(2+) release. In this study, we analyzed the lateral diffusion of IP(3) R1 in Purkinje cells in cerebellar slice cultures using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. In the dendrites of Purkinje cells, IP(3) R1 showed lateral diffusion with an effective diffusion constant of approximately 0.30 μm(2) /s, and the diffusion of IP(3) R1 was negatively regulated by actin filaments. We found that actin filaments were also involved in the regulation of IP(3) R1 diffusion in the spine of Purkinje cells. Glutamate or quisqualic acid stimulation, which activates glutamate receptors and leads to a Ca(2+) transient in Purkinje cells, decreased the diffusion of IP(3) R1 and increased the density of actin in spines. These findings indicate that the neuronal activity-dependent augmentation of actin contributes to the stabilization of IP(3) R1 in spines.

Abstract
Cytosolic Ca(2+) controls a wide range of cellular events. The versatility of this second messenger depends on its ability to form diverse spatial and temporal patterns, including waves and oscillations. Ca(2+)-signaling patterns are thought to be determined in part by the subcellular distribution of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)Rs] but little is currently known about how the localization of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R itself is regulated. Here, we report that the recruitment of GFP-tagged Ins(1,4,5)P(3)Rs in the vicinity of tight junctions in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells requires the N-terminal domain. Stable expression of this domain in polarized MDCK cells induced a flattened morphology, affected cytokinesis, accelerated cell migration in response to monolayer wounding and interfered with the cortical targeting of myosin IIA. In addition, downregulation of myosin IIA in polarized MDCK cells was found to mimic the effects of stable expression of the N-terminal part of Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R on cell shape and to alter localization of endogenous Ins(1,4,5)P(3)Rs. Taken together, these results support a model in which the recruitment of Ins(1,4,5)P(3)Rs at the apex of the lateral membrane in polarized MDCK cells, involves myosin IIA and might be important for the regulation of cortical actin dynamics.

Abstract
Background In airway epithelial cells, calcium mobilization can be elicited by selective autocrine and/or paracrine activation of apical or basolateral membrane heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptors linked to phospholipase C (PLC) stimulation, which generates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and induces Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores. Methods In the present study, we monitored the cytosolic Ca2+ transients using the UV light photolysis technique to uncage caged Ca2+ or caged IP3 into the cytosol of loaded airway epithelial cells of cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF origin. We compared in these cells the types of Ca2+ receptors present in the ER, and measured their Ca2+ dependent activity before and after correction of F508del-CFTR abnormal trafficking either by low temperature or by the pharmacological corrector miglustat (N-butyldeoxynojirimycin). Results We showed reduction of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) dependent-Ca2+ response following both correcting treatments compared to uncorrected cells in such a way that Ca2+ responses (CF+treatment vs wild-type cells) were normalized. This normalization of the Ca2+ rate does not affect the activity of Ca2+-dependent chloride channel in miglustat-treated CF cells. Using two inhibitors of IP3R1, we observed a decrease of the implication of IP3R1 in the Ca2+ response in CF corrected cells. We observed a similar Ca2+ mobilization between CF-KM4 cells and CFTR-cDNA transfected CF cells (CF-KM4-reverted). When we restored the F508del-CFTR trafficking in CFTR-reverted cells, the specific IP3R activity was also reduced to a similar level as in non CF cells. At the structural level, the ER morphology of CF cells was highly condensed around the nucleus while in non CF cells or corrected CF cells the ER was extended at the totality of cell. Conclusion These results suggest reversal of the IP3R dysfunction in F508del-CFTR epithelial cells by correction of the abnormal trafficking of F508del-CFTR in cystic fibrosis cells. Moreover, using CFTR cDNA-transfected CF cells, we demonstrated that abnormal increase of IP3R Ca2+ release in CF human epithelial cells could be the consequence of F508del-CFTR retention in ER compartment.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptors are calcium-release channels found in the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) membrane of diverse cell types. InsP(3) receptors release Ca(2+) from ER/SR lumenal stores in response to InsP(3) generated from various stimuli. The complex spatial and temporal patterns of InsP(3) receptor-mediated Ca(2+) release regulate many cellular processes, ranging from gene transcription to memory. Ankyrins are adaptor proteins implicated in the targeting of ion channels and transporters to specialized membrane domains. Multiple independent studies have documented in vitro and in vivo interactions between ankyrin polypeptides and the InsP(3) receptor. Moreover, loss of ankyrin-B leads to loss of InsP(3) receptor membrane expression and stability in cardiomyocytes. Despite extensive biochemical and functional data, the validity of in vivo ankyrin-InsP(3) receptor interactions remains controversial. This controversy is based on inconsistencies between a previously identified ankyrin-binding region on the InsP(3) receptor and InsP(3) receptor topology data that demonstrate the inaccessibility of this lumenal binding site on the InsP(3) receptor to cytosolic ankyrin polypeptides. Here we use two methods to revisit the requirements on InsP(3) receptor for ankyrin binding. We demonstrate that ankyrin-B interacts with the cytoplasmic N-terminal domain of InsP(3) receptor. In summary, our findings demonstrate that the ankyrin-binding site is located on the cytoplasmic face of the InsP(3) receptor, thus validating the feasibility of in vivo ankyrin-InsP(3) receptor interactions.

Abstract
It is known that the Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit interacts directly with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)) receptors. In this study we tested whether this interaction is required for extracellular stimuli to efficiently regulate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) release. Using cultured pig kidney LLC-PK1 cells as a model, we demonstrated that graded knockdown of the cellular Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit resulted in a parallel attenuation of ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release. When the knockdown cells were rescued by knocking in a rat alpha1, the expression of rat alpha1 restored not only the cellular Na/K-ATPase but also ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release. Mechanistically, this defect in ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release was neither due to the changes in the amount or the function of cellular IP(3) and P2Y receptors nor the ER Ca(2+) content. However, the alpha1 knockdown did redistribute cellular IP(3) receptors. The pool of IP(3) receptors that resided close to the plasma membrane was abolished. Because changes in the plasma membrane proximity could reduce the efficiency of signal transmission from P2Y receptors to the ER, we further determined the dose-dependent effects of ATP on protein kinase Cepsilon activation and ER Ca(2+) release. The data showed that the alpha1 knockdown de-sensitized the ATP-induced ER Ca(2+) release but not PKCepsilon activation. Moreover, expression of the N terminus of Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit not only disrupted the formation of the Na/K-ATPase-IP(3) receptor complex but also abolished the ATP-induced Ca(2+) release. Finally, we observed that the alpha1 knockdown was also effective in attenuating ER Ca(2+) release provoked by angiotensin II and epidermal growth factor.

Abstract
Retention of F508del-CFTR proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is dependent upon chaperone proteins, many of which require Ca(2+) for optimal activity. Here, we show in human tracheal gland CF-KM4 cells, that after correction of F508del-CFTR trafficking by miglustat (N-butyldeoxynojirimycin) or low temperature (27 degrees C), the Ca(2+) mobilization is decreased compared to uncorrected cells and becomes identical to the Ca(2+) response observed in non-CF MM39 cells. In CF-KM4 and human nasal epithelial CF15 cells, we also show that inhibiting vesicular trafficking by nocodazole prevents not only the rescue of F508del-CFTR but also the Ca(2+) mobilization decrease. Finally, experiments using the CFTR inhibitor CFTR(inh)-172 showed that the presence but not the channel activity of F508del-CFTR at the plasma membrane is required to decrease the Ca(2+) mobilization in corrected CF cells. These findings show that correction of the abnormal trafficking of F508del-CFTR proteins might have profound consequences on cellular homeostasis such as the control of intracellular Ca(2+) level.

Abstract
In this study we examined the fluctuations of the intracellular calcium concentration in isolated hepatopancreatic R cells during the four molting stages of the prawn Marsupenaeus japonicus. In addition, we used the Fura-2-AM fluorescence technique to investigate the release of calcium from mitochondria and ATP-sensitive calcium stores (endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi, and nucleus) into cytoplasm during the molting cycle. Results demonstrate that both the cytosolic free calcium concentration and the total cell calcium (free, bound to calcium-binding proteins, and stored in amorphous form) in the R cells strictly depend upon the molting cycle. Interestingly, the total cell calcium was higher (approximately 10 mmol l(-1)) in postmolt than in premolt (approximately 1 mmol l(-1)) and intermolt (approximately 0.3 mmol l(-1)). The calcium released from mitochondria was higher during premolt than during postmolt and intermolt, but the amount of calcium released from ATP-sensitive calcium stores was similar during all four stages. All together, our results suggest that the mitochondria-ATP-sensitive calcium stores system does not play a key role in calcium storage during the molting cycle but that it is involved in transcellular calcium flux. We hypothesize that lysosome or membrane-clad concretion vacuoles could represent the main site of calcium storage in hepatopancreatic R cells.

Abstract
In ciliated airway epithelial cells endothelial nitric oxide synthase as well as several other membrane bound proteins are located in the apical cell pole. To date, mechanisms that serve to target and to keep these proteins in this region are unknown. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase is known to target to caveolae by interaction with caveolin-1 or caveolin-3. Since caveolin-1 is found only in a subpopulation of ciliated cells at the basolateral cell membrane, we examined if caveolin-3 could be responsible for the apical localization of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in ciliated cells. We used real-time RT-PCR, laser-assisted microdissection, Western blotting and double-labeling immunohistochemistry to examine the presence of caveolin-3 in the airway epithelium of the rat. Indeed, we found caveolin-3-mRNA as well as protein in ciliated cells throughout the trachea and the bronchial tree. Caveolin-3-immunoreactivity was confined to the apical region and was colocalized with endothelial nitric oxide synthase and the high affinity choline transporter in a compartment distinct from the plasma membrane at the light microscopic level. No caveolae were found in the apical plasma membrane of ciliated cells but a tubulovesicular network was present in the apical region that reached up to the basal bodies of the cilia and was in close contact with mitochondria. Co-immunoprecipitation of caveolin-3 with endothelial nitric oxide synthase verified that both proteins interact in airway ciliated cells. These findings indicate that caveolin-3 is responsible to keep endothelial nitric oxide synthase in a membrane compartment in the apical region of ciliated cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND INFORMATION The uneven distribution of the Ins(1,4,5)P3R [Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor] within the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) membrane generates spatially complex Ca2+ signals. The ER is a dynamic network, which allows the rapid diffusion of membrane proteins from one part of the cell to another. However, little is known about the localization and the dynamics of the Ins(1,4,5)P3R in the ER of living cells. We have used a MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney) clone stably expressing the Ins(1,4,5)P3R1-GFP (where GFP stands for green fluorescent protein) to investigate the effect of cell polarity on the lateral mobility of the Ins(1,4,5)P3R. RESULTS In non-confluent MDCK cells, the chimaera is homogeneously distributed throughout the ER and the nuclear envelope. FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleaching) experiments showed that the receptor can move freely in the ER with a diffusion constant (D=0.01 microm2/s) approx. ten times lower than other ER membrane proteins. In confluent polarized cells, two populations of receptor can be defined: one population is distributed in the cytoplasm and is mobile but with a slower diffusion constant (D=0.004 microm2/s) compared with non-confluent cells, whereas the other population is concentrated at the periphery of the cells and is apparently immobile. CONCLUSIONS The observed differences in the mobility of the Ins(1,4,5)P3R are most probably due to its interactions with stable protein complexes that form at the periphery of the polarized cells.

Abstract
Microvascular permeability is regulated by changes in intracellular calcium concentration. The mechanism by which this increase in calcium determines permeability under normal conditions and during stimulation with agonists remains to be elucidated. In order to determine whether calcium release from intracellular stores could contribute towards the regulation of vascular permeability, hydraulic conductivity (Lp) was measured in frog mesenteric microvessels during stimulation of the endothelial cells of these vessels with agonists that release calcium from the intracellular stores. ATP (which acts through activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors) increased Lp in the absence of calcium influx across the plasma membrane 2.3 +/- 0.3 fold (mean +/- s.e.m., P < 0.01, n = 8), which was less than the increase in the presence of calcium influx (3.1 +/- 1.1 fold). Caffeine (which acts through activation of ryanodine receptors) also increased Lp in the absence of calcium influx across the plasma membrane 3.8 +/- 1.0 fold (P < 0.01, n = 9), but by at least as much as it does in the presence of calcium influx (2.8 +/- 0.5 fold). It is surprising that there was a strong positive correlation between the size of the response during store release and the baseline permeability (r = 0.91 for ATP, r = 0.75 for caffeine). This suggests that the filling state of the stores may regulate the baseline permeability of the microvessels.

Abstract
Most inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where their precise distribution underlies the spatially complex Ca2+ signals evoked by extracellular stimuli. The signals that target IP3R to the ER or, less commonly, to other membranes are unknown. We expressed yellow fluorescent protein-tagged fragments of type 1 IP3R alone or fused with a plasma membrane protein to establish the determinants of ER targeting in COS-7 cells. By using a combination of confocal imaging and glycoprotein analyses, we demonstrated that any pair of the six transmembrane domains (TMD) linked by a luminal loop retains the protein within the ER, and when attached to a plasma membrane protein (ICAM-1), prevents it from reaching the medial Golgi. TMD1 or TMD2 alone were accumulated in mitochondria, whereas TMD5 and TMD6 were retained in ER, but were unable to prevent ICAM from reaching the plasma membrane. We conclude that IP3R are targeted to the ER membrane only after synthesis of TMDs 1 and 2, and that after co-translational insertion of the remaining TMDs, redundant retention signals present in any pair of TMD retain IP3R in the ER.

Abstract
The possibility that certain integral plasma membrane (PM) proteins involved in Ca(2+) homeostasis form junctional units with adjacent endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in neurons and glia was explored using immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry. Rat brain membranes were solubilized with the mild, non-ionic detergent, IGEPAL CA-630. Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger type 1 (NCX1), a key PM Ca(2+) transporter, was immunoprecipitated from the detergent-soluble fraction. Several abundant PM proteins co-immunoprecipitated with NCX1, including the alpha2 and alpha3 isoforms of the Na(+) pump catalytic (alpha) subunit, and the alpha2 subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor. The adaptor protein, ankyrin 2 (Ank 2), and the cytoskeletal proteins, alpha-fodrin and beta-spectrin, also selectively co-immunoprecipitated with NCX1, as did the ER proteins, Ca(2+) pump type 2 (SERCA 2), and inositol-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP(3)R-1). In contrast, a number of other abundant PMs, adaptors, and cytoskeletal proteins did not co-immunoprecipitate with NCX1, including the Na(+) pump alpha1 isoform, PM Ca(2+) pump type 1 (PMCA1), beta-fodrin, and Ank 3. In reciprocal experiments, immunoprecipitation with antibodies to the Na(+) pump alpha2 and alpha3 isoforms, but not alpha1, co-immunoprecipitated NCX1; the antibodies to alpha1 did, however, co-immunoprecipitate PMCA1. Antibodies to Ank 2, alpha-fodrin, beta-spectrin and IP(3)R-1 all co-immunoprecipitated NCX1. Immunocytochemistry revealed partial co-localization of beta-spectrin with NCX1, Na(+) pump alpha3, and IP(3)R-1 in neurons and of alpha-fodrin with NCX1 and SERCA2 in astrocytes. The data support the idea that in neurons and glia PM microdomains containing NCX1 and Na(+) pumps with alpha2 or alpha3 subunits form Ca(2+) signaling complexes with underlying ER containing SERCA2 and IP(3)R-1. These PM and ER components appear to be linked through the cytoskeletal spectrin network, to which they are probably tethered by Ank 2.

Abstract
The subcellular localization of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced Ca2+ signals is important for the activation of many physiological functions. In epithelial cells the spatial distribution of InsP3 receptor is restricted to specific areas, but little is known about the relationship between the receptor's distribution and cell polarity. To investigate this relationship, the best known polarized cell model, MDCK, was examined. This cell line is characterized by a strong expression of the type 3 InsP3 receptor and the subcellular localization of this receptor was followed during cell polarization using immunofluorescence and confocal analysis. In non-polarized cells, including ras transformed f3 MDCK cells, the type 3 InsP3 receptor was found to co-localize with markers of the endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm. In contrast, in polarized cells, this receptor was mostly distributed at the apex of the lateral plasma membrane with the markers of tight junctions, ZO-1 and occludin. The localization of the type 3 InsP3 receptor in the vicinity of tight junctions was confirmed by immunogold electron microscopy. The culture of MDCK cells in calcium-deprived medium, led to disruption of cell polarity and receptor redistribution in the cytoplasm. Addition of calcium to these deprived cells induced the restoration of polarity and the relocalization of the receptor to the plasma membrane. MDCK cells were stably transfected with a plasmid coding the full-length mouse type 1 InsP3 receptor tagged with EGFP at the C-terminus. The EGFP-tagged type 1 receptor and the endogenous type 3 co-localized in the cytoplasm of non-polarized cells and at the tight junction level of polarized cells. Thus, the localization of InsP3 receptor in MDCK depends on polarity.

Abstract
Protein 4.1N was identified as a binding molecule for the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP(3)R1) using a yeast two-hybrid system. 4.1N and IP(3)R1 associate in both subconfluent and confluent Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, a well studied tight polarized epithelial cell line. In subconfluent MDCK cells, 4.1N is distributed in the cytoplasm and the nucleus; IP(3)R1 is localized in the cytoplasm. In confluent MDCK cells, both 4.1N and IP(3)R1 are predominantly translocated to the basolateral membrane domain, whereas 4.1R, the prototypical homologue of 4.1N, is localized at the tight junctions (Mattagajasingh, S. N., Huang, S. C., Hartenstein, J. S., and Benz, E. J., Jr. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 30573-30585), and other endoplasmic reticulum marker proteins are still present in the cytoplasm. Moreover, the 4.1N-binding region of IP(3)R1 is necessary and sufficient for the localization of IP(3)R1 at the basolateral membrane domain. A fragment of the IP(3)R1-binding region of 4.1N blocks the localization of co-expressed IP(3)R1 at the basolateral membrane domain. These data indicate that 4.1N is required for IP(3)R1 translocation to the basolateral membrane domain in polarized MDCK cells.

Abstract
The olfactory system sits at the interface of the environment and the nervous system and is responsible for correctly coding sensory information from thousands of odorous stimuli. Many theories existed regarding the signal transduction mechanism that mediates this difficult task. The discovery that odorant transduction utilizes a unique variation (a novel family of G protein-coupled receptors) based upon a very common theme (the G protein-coupled adenylyl cyclase cascade) to accomplish its vital task emphasized the power and versatility of this motif. We now must understand the downstream consequences of this cascade that regulates multiple second messengers and perhaps even gene transcription in response to the initial interaction of ligand with G protein-coupled receptor.

Abstract
The developmental changes of intracellular calcium release channels of mouse neocortex were studied at the onset of neurogenesis, which occurs between embryonic days E11 and E17. The three main isoforms of the two families of intracellular calcium release channels, namely the inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) and the ryanodine receptors (RyR), were detected by their transcripts in the cerebral hemispheres, as early as stage E11. The major isoforms of each family, IP3R-1 and RyR-2, were found at the protein level by Western blot analysis. Expression of these proteins increases progressively throughout brain development. Their localization in coronal sections of cortex has been observed by immunodetection from E12, and compared to the TuJ1 (anti-class III beta-tubulin antibody) neuronal specific labelling. The expression of both channels is greatly enhanced after E12, and both were seen to be present in most of the proliferative and neuronal cells of the slice. Between E12 and E13, there is a striking transition in the pattern of calcium release elicited by specific agonists of these channels, thimerosal for IP3R and caffeine for RyR. The signals induced by thimerosal were not zone-specific, while the observed calcium release signals induced by caffeine were predominantly restricted out of the ventricular zone. This zone-specific caffeine sensitivity is consistent with the main RyR localization immunodetected at E13. Our results indicate that there is a time lag of several days between the molecular detection of calcium release channels and their functional expression, around the time of neuronal differentiation. Altogether, they provide a molecular basis for analyzing the developmental modulation of calcium signals useful for neurogenesis progression.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptor (InsP3R) is an endoplasmic reticulum-localized Ca2+ -release channel that controls complex cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signaling in many cell types. At least three InsP3Rs encoded by different genes have been identified in mammalian cells, with different primary sequences, subcellular locations, variable ratios of expression, and heteromultimer formation. To examine regulation of channel gating of the type 3 isoform, recombinant rat type 3 InsP3R (r-InsP3R-3) was expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and single-channel recordings were obtained by patch-clamp electrophysiology of the outer nuclear membrane. Gating of the r-InsP3R-3 exhibited a biphasic dependence on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). In the presence of 0.5 mM cytoplasmic free ATP, r-InsP3R-3 gating was inhibited by high [Ca2+]i with features similar to those of the endogenous Xenopus type 1 Ins3R (X-InsP3R-1). Ca2+ inhibition of channel gating had an inhibitory Hill coefficient of approximately 3 and half-maximal inhibiting [Ca2+]i (Kinh) = 39 microM under saturating (10 microM) cytoplasmic InsP3 concentrations ([InsP3]). At [InsP3] < 100 nM, the r-InsP3R-3 became more sensitive to Ca2+ inhibition, with the InsP(3) concentration dependence of Kinh described by a half-maximal [InsP3] of 55 nM and a Hill coefficient of approximately 4. InsP(3) activated the type 3 channel by tuning the efficacy of Ca2+ to inhibit it, by a mechanism similar to that observed for the type 1 isoform. In contrast, the r-InsP3R-3 channel was uniquely distinguished from the X-InsP3R-1 channel by its enhanced Ca2+ sensitivity of activation (half-maximal activating [Ca2+]i of 77 nM instead of 190 nM) and lack of cooperativity between Ca2+ activation sites (activating Hill coefficient of 1 instead of 2). These differences endow the InsP3R-3 with high gain InsP3-induced Ca2+ release and low gain Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ release properties complementary to those of InsP3R-1. Thus, distinct Ca2+ signals may be conferred by complementary Ca2+ activation properties of different InsP3R isoforms.

Abstract
Ezrin is a key protein in membrane-cytoskeleton interaction and is expressed primarily in actin-rich surface projections. Activation in protein tyrosine phosphorylation apparently regulates the structure and function of ezrin. In this study, we found that pervanadate (PV, the complexes of vanadate with hydrogen peroxide) caused an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of ezrin and affected its cellular redistribution. Treatment of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells with pervanadate resulted in a dramatically increased tyrosine phosphorylation of ezrin within two to five min and the level reached the maximum after 60 min. This was accompanied by an alteration in the subcellular distribution of ezrin. Immunofluorescence and scanning laser confocal microscopy analysis revealed that, after PV stimulation, ezrin was redistributed from cytosol to the apical and lateral membrane domains. This occurred within five min, and more obvious redistribution to the lateral membrane domain was observed after 30 min. Furthermore, immunoblotting of ezrin in cell fractionation experiments showed that, in PV-treated MDCK cells, cytosolic ezrin was translocated to the membrane fraction, while there was no change in the level of ezrin associated with the actin-cytoskeleton. Therefore, cytoplasmic signaling may result in activation of ezrin in tyrosine phosphorylation, which is induced by PV stimulation. These results suggest that ezrin has qualities that might play a role in modulation of cell shape and adhesion.

Abstract
Many hormones and neurotransmitters raise intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) by generating InsP(3) and activating the inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R). Multiple isoforms with distinct InsP(3) binding properties () have been identified (). The type III InsP(3)R lacks Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition, a property that makes it ideal for signal initiation (). Regulation of the type III InsP(3)R by InsP(3) and ATP was explored in detail using planar lipid bilayers. In comparison to the type I InsP(3)R, the type III InsP(3)R required a higher concentration of InsP(3) to reach maximal channel activity (EC(50) of 3.2 microM versus 0.5 microM for the types III and I InsP(3)R, respectively). However, the type III InsP(3)R did reach a 2.5-fold higher level of activity. Although activation by InsP(3) was isoform-specific, regulation by ATP was similar for both isoforms. In the presence of 2 microM InsP(3), low ATP concentrations (<6 mM) increased the open probability and mean open time. High ATP concentrations (>6 mM) decreased channel activity. These results illustrate the complex nature of type III InsP(3)R regulation. Enhanced channel activity in the presence of high InsP(3) may be important during periods of prolonged stimulation, whereas allosteric modulation by ATP may help to modulate intracellular Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
AbstractPlatelet activation is associated with an increase of cytosolic Ca++ levels. The 1,4,5IP3receptors [1,4,5IP3R] are known to mediate Ca++ release from intracellular stores of many cell types. Currently there are at least 3 distinct subtypes of1,4,5IP3R—type I, type II, and type III—with suggestions of distinct roles in Ca++ elevation. Specific receptors for 1,3,4,5IP4 belonging to the GAP1 family have also been described though their involvement with Ca++ regulation is controversial. In this study we report that platelets contain all 3 subtypes of1,4,5IP3R but in different amounts. Type I and type II receptors are predominant. In studies using highly purified platelet plasma (PM) and intracellular membranes (IM) we report a distinct localization of these receptors. The PM fractions were found to contain the type III 1,4,5IP3R and GAP1IP4BP in contrast to IM, which contained type I1,4,5IP3R. The type II receptor exhibited a dual distribution. In studies examining the labeling of surface proteins with biotin in intact platelets only the type III1,4,5IP3R was significantly labeled. Immunogold studies of ultracryosections of human platelets showed significantly more labeling of the PM with the type III receptor antibodies than with type I receptor antibodies. Ca++ flux studies were carried out with the PM to demonstrate in vitro function of inositol phosphate receptors. Ca++ release activities were present with both 1,4,5IP3 and1,3,4,5IP4 (EC50 = 1.3 and 0.8 μmol/L, respectively). Discrimination of the Ca++-releasing activities was demonstrated with cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) specifically inhibiting 1,4,5IP3 but not1,3,4,5IP4-induced Ca++ flux. In experiments with both PM and intact platelets, the1,4,5IP3Rs but not GAP1IP4BP were found to be substrates of cAMP-PK and cGMP-PK. Thus the Ca++ flux property of1,3,4,5IP4 is insensitive to cAMP-PK. These studies suggest distinct roles for the1,4,5IP3R subtypes in Ca++movements, with the type III receptor and GAP1IP4BPassociated with cation entry in human platelets and the type I receptor involved with Ca++ release from intracellular stores.

Abstract
Ischemic epithelial cells are characterized by disruption of intercellular junctions and loss of apical-basolateral protein polarity, which are normally dependent on the integrity of the adherens junction (AJ). Biochemical analysis of both whole ischemic kidneys and ATP-depleted Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells demonstrated a striking loss of E-cadherin (the transmembrane protein of the AJ) with the appearance and accumulation of an approximately 80-kDa fragment reactive with anti-E-cadherin antibodies on Western blots of ATP-depleted MDCK cells. This apparent ischemia-induced degradation of E-cadherin was not blocked by either inhibitors of the major proteolytic pathways (i.e., proteasome, lysosome, or calpain), or by chelation of intracellular calcium, suggesting the involvement of a protease capable of functioning at low ATP and low calcium levels. Immunocytochemistry revealed the movement of several proteins normally comprising the AJ, including E-cadherin and beta-catenin, away from lateral portions of the plasma membrane to intracellular sites. Moreover, rate-zonal centrifugation and immunoprecipitation with anti-E-cadherin and anti-beta-catenin antibodies indicated that ATP depletion disrupted normal E-cadherin-catenin interactions, resulting in the dissociation of alpha- and gamma-catenin from E-cadherin and beta-catenin-containing complexes. Because the generation and maintenance of polarized epithelial cells are dependent upon E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion and normal AJ function, we propose that the rapid degradation of E-cadherin and dissolution of the AJ is a key step in the development of the ischemic epithelial cell phenotype. Furthermore, we hypothesize that the reassembly of the AJ after ischemia/ATP depletion may require a novel bioassembly mechanism involving recombination of newly synthesized and sorted E-cadherin with preexisting pools of catenins that have (temporally) redistributed intracellularly.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) is an intracellular Ca(2+)-release channel localized in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with a central role in complex Ca(2+) signaling in most cell types. A family of InsP(3)Rs encoded by several genes has been identified with different primary sequences, subcellular locations, variable ratios of expression, and heteromultimer formation. This diversity suggests that cells require distinct InsP(3)Rs, but the functional correlates of this diversity are largely unknown. Lacking are single-channel recordings of the recombinant type 3 receptor (InsP(3)R-3), a widely expressed isoform also implicated in plasma membrane Ca(2+) influx and apoptosis. Here, we describe functional expression and single-channel recording of recombinant rat InsP(3)R-3 in its native membrane environment. The approach we describe suggests a novel strategy for expression and recording of recombinant ER-localized ion channels in the ER membrane. Ion permeation and channel gating properties of the rat InsP(3)R-3 are strikingly similar to those of Xenopus type 1 InsP(3)R in the same membrane. Using two different two-electrode voltage clamp protocols to examine calcium store-operated calcium influx, no difference in the magnitude of calcium influx was observed in oocytes injected with rat InsP(3)R-3 cRNA compared with control oocytes. Our results suggest that if cellular expression of multiple InsP(3)R isoforms is a mechanism to modify the temporal and spatial features of [Ca(2+)](i) signals, then it must be achieved by isoform-specific regulation or localization of various types of InsP(3)Rs that have relatively similar Ca(2+) permeation properties.

Abstract
Transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is stimulated by binding of its ligand, dimeric IgA (dIgA). During this process, dIgA binding at the basolateral surface of the epithelial cell transmits a signal to the apical region of the cell, which in turn stimulates the transport of dIgA-pIgR complex from a postmicrotubule compartment to the apical surface. We have previously reported that the signal of stimulation was controlled by a protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) activated upon dIgA binding. We now show that this signal of stimulation moves across the cell independently of pIgR movement or microtubules and acts through the tyrosine kinase activity by releasing Ca++ from inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular stores. Surprisingly we have found that a second independent signal is required to achieve dIgA-stimulated transcytosis of pIgR. This second signal depends on dIgA binding to the pIgR solely at the basolateral surface and the ability of pIgR to dimerize. This enables pIgR molecules that have bound dIgA at the basolateral surface to respond to the signal of stimulation once they reach the postmicrotubule compartment. We propose that the use of two signals may be a general mechanism by which signaling receptors maintain specificity along their signaling and trafficking pathways.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying glomerular hypertrophy and hyperfiltration in diabetes remain unclear. We have previously demonstrated that the cytokine transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is increased in early diabetic kidney disease and TGF-beta1 inhibits the expression of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-gated calcium channel, the type I IP3 receptor (IP3R), in mesangial cells. To test the hypothesis that reduced type I IP3R may be important in diabetic kidney disease, we evaluated type I IP3R expression in the kidney of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and mice. Two-week-old diabetic rats have decreased renal type I IP3R protein and mRNA levels. Immunostaining of normal rat kidney demonstrated presence of type I IP3R in glomerular and vascular smooth muscle cells, whereas diabetic rats had reduced staining in both compartments. Reduction of type I IP3R also occurred in parallel with renal hypertrophy, increased creatinine clearance, and increased renal TGF-beta1 expression in the diabetic rats. Two-week-old diabetic mice also had reduced renal type I IP3R protein and mRNA expression in association with renal hypertrophy and increased TGF-beta1 mRNA expression. These findings demonstrate that there is reduced type I IP3R in glomerular and vascular smooth muscle cells in the diabetic kidney, which may contribute to the altered renal vasoregulation and renal hypertrophy of diabetes.

Abstract
A fertilization-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ is responsible for initiating all of the events of egg activation. In mammals, the Ca2+ increase takes the form of a series of Ca2+ oscillations showing complex temporal and spatial properties. To understand the nature of these changes, we have investigated the expression patterns of the three isoforms of the inositol trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) during oocyte maturation and preimplantation development. We find that mouse oocytes express mRNAs for all three InsP3R subtypes. Semiquantitative ratio reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction shows that the type II isoform is the predominant message in mature oocytes, representing 67% of the InsP3R mRNA. In contrast, protein analysis reveals that the type I isoform accounts for all of the detectable InsP3R protein, despite representing only 20% of the InsP3R mRNA. The levels of InsP3R protein were examined to determine whether they correlated with the Ca2+ signaling events surrounding the fertilization process. Type I InsP3R protein increased during oocyte maturation and, in addition, within 8 h of fertilization underwent a dramatic decrease. During development to the blastocyst the level of type I InsP3R protein did not return to prefertilization levels and types II and III remained below our detection limit. The decrease in InsP3R protein after fertilization was found to correlate with a decrease in the sensitivity of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release. These studies show that the expression of InsP3R mRNA is developmentally regulated, that Ca2+ signaling at fertilization is mediated exclusively through the type I InsP3R, and that the InsP3R is downregulated after fertilization.

Abstract
The polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) transcytoses its ligand, dimeric IgA (dIgA), from the basolateral to the apical surface of epithelial cells. Although the pIgR is constitutively transcytosed in the absence of ligand, binding of dIgA stimulates transcytosis of the pIgR. We recently reported that dIgA binding to the pIgR induces translocation of protein kinase C, production of inositol triphosphate, and elevation of intracellular free calcium. We now report that dIgA binding causes rapid, transient tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, including phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C-gammal. Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors or deletion of the last 30 amino acids of pIgR cytoplasmic tail prevents IgA-stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activation, tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gammal, production of inositol triphosphate, and the stimulation of transcytosis by dIgA. Analysis of pIgR deletion mutants reveals that the same discrete portion of the cytoplasmic domain, residues 727-736 (but not the Tyr734), controls both the ability of pIgR to cause dIgA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the phospholipase C-gammal and to undergo dIgA-stimulated transcytosis. In addition, dIgA transcytosis can be strongly stimulated by mimicking phospholipase C-gammal activation. In combination with our previous results, we conclude that the protein tyrosine kinase(s) and phospholipase C-gammal that are activated upon dIgA binding to the pIgR control dIgA-stimulated pIgR transcytosis.

Abstract
The Ca2+-sensing receptor protein and the Ca2+-inhibitable type 6 adenylyl cyclase mRNA are present in a defined segment of the rat renal tubule leading to the hypothesis of their possible functional co-expression in a same cell and thus to a possible inhibition of cAMP content by extracellular Ca2+. By using microdissected segments, we compared the properties of regulation of extracellular Ca2+-mediated activation of Ca2+ receptor to those elicited by prostaglandin E2 and angiotensin II. The three agents inhibited a common pool of hormone-stimulated cAMP content by different mechanisms as follows. (i) Extracellular Ca2+, coupled to phospholipase C activation via a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein, induced a dose-dependent inhibition of cAMP content (1.25 mM Ca2+ eliciting 50% inhibition) resulting from both stimulation of cAMP hydrolysis and inhibition of cAMP synthesis; this latter effect was mediated by capacitive Ca2+ influx as well as release of intracellular Ca2+. (ii) Angiotensin II, coupled to the same transduction pathway, also decreased cAMP content; however, its inhibitory effect on cAMP was mainly accounted for by an increase of cAMP hydrolysis, although angiotensin II and extracellular Ca2+ can induce comparable release of intracellular Ca2+. (iii) Prostaglandin E2, coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein, inhibited the same pool of adenylyl cyclase units as extracellular Ca2+ but by a different mechanism. The functional properties of the adenylyl cyclase were similar to those described for type 6. The results establish that the co-expression of a Ca2+-inhibitable adenylyl cyclase and of a Ca2+-sensing receptor in a same cell allows an inhibition of cAMP accumulation by physiological concentrations of extracellular Ca2+.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-gated Ca channel in cerebellum is tightly regulated by Ca (Bezprozvanny, I., J. Watras, and B.E. Ehrlich. 1991. Nature (Lond.). 351:751-754; Finch, E.A., T.

In previous single channel studies, the Ca dependence of channel activity, monitored at 2 microM InsP3, was described by a bell-shaped curve (Bezprozvanny, I., J. Watras, and B.E. Ehrlich. 1991. Nature (Lond.). 351:751-754). We report here that, when we used lower InsP3 concentrations, the peak of the Ca-dependence curve shifted to lower Ca concentrations. Unexpectedly, when we used high InsP3 concentrations, channel activity persisted at Ca concentrations as high as 30 microM. To explore this unexpected response of the channel, we measured InsP3 binding over a broad range of InsP3 concentrations. We found the well-characterized high affinity InsP3 binding sites (with Kd < 1 and 50 nM) (Maeda, N., M. Niinobe, and K. Mikoshiba. 1990. EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J. 9:61-67; Mignery, G., T.C. Sudhof, K. Takei, and P. De Camilli. 1989. Nature (Lond.). 342:192-195; Ross, C.A., J. Meldolesi, T.A. Milner, T. Satoh, S. Supattapone, and S.H. Snyder. 1989. Nature (Lond.). 339:468-470) and a low affinity InsP3 binding site (Kd = 10 microM). Using these InsP3 binding sites, we developed a new model that accounts for the shift in the Ca-dependence curve at low InsP3 levels and the maintained channel activity at high Ca and InsP3 levels. The observed Ca dependence of the InsP3-gated Ca channel allows the cell to abbreviate the rise of intracellular Ca in the presence of low levels of InsP3, but also provides a means of maintaining high intracellular Ca during periods of prolonged stimulation.

Abstract
A key feature of the ischemic epithelial cell phenotype is the disruption of tight junctions (TJ). In a Manin-Darby canine kidney cell model for ischemia-reperfusion/hypoxia-reoxygenation injury which employs inhibitors of glycolysis (2-deoxy-D-glucose) and oxidative phosphorylation (antimycin A), transepithelial electrical resistance, a measure of TJ integrity, dropped rapidly, correlating well with declining ATP levels. Although immunocytochemical studies revealed only subtle changes in the distribution of the TJ proteins, zonula occludens (ZO)-1, ZO-2, and cingulin, examination of the Triton X-100 solubilities of these proteins, an indicator of cytoskeletal association, revealed a striking shift of all three TJ proteins into the insoluble pool, consistent with increased cytoskeletal interaction during ATP depletion. In addition, rate-zonal centrifugation analysis of a detergent-soluble fraction showed an increase in the amount of ZO-1 and ZO-2 in high density fractions following ATP depletion, providing further evidence for association of TJ proteins into a large complex possibly involving the cytoskeleton. Analysis of immunoprecipitation data from [35S]methionine-labeled cells revealed that ATP depletion led to the association of a 240-kDa protein with the ZO-1-containing complex. Western blots of this protein immunoprecipitated with anti-ZO-1 antibodies confirmed its identity as fodrin, a protein believed to link membrane and other proteins to the actin-based cytoskeleton. Together, our data suggest that in the absence of major immunocytochemical changes, ATP depletion leads TJ proteins to form large insoluble complexes and associate with the cytoskeleton. We propose a model in which a key, potentially regulated, step in the generation of the ischemic epithelial cell phenotype is the interaction between TJ proteins and fodrin and/or other cytoskeletal proteins.

Abstract
Interactions between the ureteric bud (UB) and metanephric mesenchyme are crucial for tubulogenesis during kidney development. Two immortalized cell lines derived from the day 11.5 embryonic kidney, UB cells, which appear to be epithelial (cytokeratin-positive, E-cadherin-positive, and ZO-1-positive by immunostaining) and BSN cells, which are largely mesenchymal (vimentin-positive, but negative for cytokeratin, cell surface E-cadherin, and cell surface ZO-1), were used to establish an in vitro tubulogenesis system. BSN cells expressed hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor-beta1 mRNAs, and its conditioned medium (BSN-CM) contained factors capable of activating the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR). When UB cells were cultured in an extracellular matrix gel in the presence of the embryonic kidney or BSN-CM, the UB cells underwent morphogenetic changes characteristic of early in vitro branching tubulogenesis. These changes were largely inhibited by a combination of neutralizing anti-HGF antibodies and the EGFR inhibitor tyrphostin AG1478, suggesting that EGFR ligands, together with HGF, account for much of this early morphogenetic activity. Nevertheless, there was a significant fraction of tubulogenic activity that could not be inhibited, suggesting the existence of other soluble factors. Whereas HGF, EGF, transforming growth factor alpha, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), or a mixture of these growth factors, induced epithelial processes for up to 3 days, only IGF-1, possibly bFGF, and the mixture were able to sustain morphogenesis for longer periods, though not nearly to the same degree as BSN-CM. Moreover, only BSN-CM induced branching tubular structures with clear lumens, consistent with the existence of other soluble factors crucial for the formation and/or maintenance of branching tubular structures with lumens in vitro.

Abstract
The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the cytosol leads to increased expression of heat-shock proteins, while accumulation of such proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stimulates the expression of many ER resident proteins, most of which function as molecular chaperones. Recently, inhibitors of the proteasome have been identified that can block the rapid degradation of abnormal cytosolic and ER-associated proteins. We therefore tested whether these agents, by causing the accumulation of abnormal proteins, might stimulate the expression of cytosolic heat-shock proteins and/or ER molecular chaperones and thereby induce thermotolerance. Exposure of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells to various proteasome inhibitors, including the peptide aldehydes (MG132, MG115, N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal) and lactacystin, inhibited the degradation of short-lived proteins and increased markedly the levels of mRNAs encoding cytosolic heat-shock proteins (Hsp70, polyubiquitin) and ER chaperones (BiP, Grp94, ERp72), as shown by Northern blot analysis. However, inhibitors of cysteine proteases (E64), serine proteases (leupeptin), or metalloproteases (1, 10-phenanthroline) had no effect on the levels of these mRNAs. The relative efficacies of the peptide aldehyde inhibitors in inducing these mRNAs correlated with their potencies against the proteasome. Furthermore, reduction of the aldehyde group of MG132 decreased its inhibitory effect on proteolysis and largely prevented the induction of these mRNAs. Although treatment with the proteasome inhibitors caused rapid increases in mRNA levels (as early as 2 h after treatment with MG132), the inhibitors did not detectably affect total protein synthesis, total protein secretion, ER morphology, or the retention of ER-lumenal proteins, even after 18 h of treatment. Together, the findings suggest that inhibition of proteasome function induces heat-shock proteins and ER chaperones due to the accumulation of sufficient amounts of abnormal proteins and/or the inhibition of degradation of a key regulatory factor (e.g. heat-shock factor). Since expression of heat-shock proteins can protect cells from thermal injury, we tested whether the proteasome inhibitors might also confer thermotolerance. Treatment of cells with MG132 for as little as 2 h, markedly increased the survival of cells subjected to high temperatures (up to 46 degrees C). Thus, these agents may have applications in protecting against cell injury.

Abstract
Secretory epithelial cells are found in exocrine organs such as the pancreas and are also found in the lining of the lungs and gut. One important regulator of cell function in epithelial cells is the concentration of cytosolic Ca2+. The study of Ca2+ signaling in these cells has a long history and recent work has now identified, at the molecular level, key components in the Ca2+ signaling cascade. Furthermore, advances in fluorescent imaging techniques has enabled a detailed insight into the subcellular distribution of the agonist-evoked [Ca2+]i signal. A number of spatially different [Ca2+]i responses have been identified. Firstly, global [Ca2+]i signals are observed in response to high agonist concentrations. Secondly, at lower agonist concentrations trains of local [Ca2+]i spikes, restricted to the secretory pole region of pancreatic acinar cells, have been identified. Finally, these local [Ca2+]i spikes have now been further devolved into microdomains of [Ca2+]i elevation. The [Ca2+]i signal within a single microdomain has been shown to be the crucial trigger in the regulation of the ion channels important in fluid secretion.

Abstract
Perturbation of potentially regulatable endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium stores with the Ca-ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin (TG), perturbs the formation of desmosomes and tight junctions during polarized epithelial cell biogenesis, despite the development of cell contact. In a Madin-Darby canine kidney cell model for intercellular junction assembly, TG treatment inhibited the development of transepithelial electrical resistance (TER), a measure of tight junction assembly, in a dose-dependent manner. The TG-induced inhibition of tight junction assembly was paralleled by a defect in the sorting of the tight junction protein, ZO-1. An even more dramatic delay in sorting of the desmosomal protein, desmoplakin, was observed in the presence of TG. In addition, while both ZO-1 and desmoplakin-I in control cells were shown to become associated with the Triton X-100 insoluble cytoskeleton during intercellular junction assembly, prior treatment with 100 nM TG diminished this biochemical stabilization into the detergent-insoluble fraction, particularly in the case of ZO-1. Although spectrofluorimetric measurements in fura-2 loaded Madin-Darby canine kidney cells confirmed the occurrence of TG-mediated release of calcium from internal stores, total cytosolic calcium during junction assembly remained similar to untreated cells. Therefore, the presence of cytosolic calcium alone is not sufficient for normal intercellular junction biogenesis if intracellular stores are perturbed by TG. The results indicate the presence of calcium-sensitive intracellular mechanisms involved in the sorting and cytoskeletal stabilization of both tight junction and desmosomes and suggest a role for calcium-dependent signaling pathways at an early (possibly common) step in polarized epithelial biogenesis.

Abstract
Store-dependent calcium entry represents a little characterized calcium permeation pathway that is present in a variety of cell types. It is activated in an unknown way by depletion of intracellular calcium stores, for example in the course of phospholipase C stimulation. Current hypotheses propose that depleted calcium stores signal their filling state to this permeation pathway either by direct, protein-mediated interaction or by release of a small, diffusible messenger. The further characterization of store-dependent calcium entry will benefit from progress in the identification of the intracellular calcium storing compartments. Recent findings reviewed here suggest that these compartments include parts of the organelle system that is involved in endo- and exocytosis. This commentary describes a novel model of store-dependent calcium entry based on calcium stores belonging to the endo- and exocytotic organelle system. Such calcium stores could establish a tubule-like connection with the extracellular space, in analogy to the cellular compartments that contain the insulin-sensitive glucose transporter or the gastric proton pump. This connection will provide a pathway for store-dependent calcium entry. Under store depletion, extracellular calcium will permeate through the tubule-like connection into the store lumen and from there into the cytosol. The consequences of this model for the development of drugs modulating store-dependent calcium entry are discussed.

Abstract
To test for a possible role of lysosomes in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, the effects of glycyl-L-phenylalanine-beta-naphthylamide (GPN), known to permeabilize these organelles by osmotic swelling, were studied in single MDCK cells. Fluorescence of acridine orange, rhodol green dextran, lysotracker green and FITC-dextran indicated that GPN (0.2 mmol/l) elicited a reversible permeabilization of lysosomes. Cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) as determined by Fura-2 fluorescence increased from 60 +/- 11 to 534 +/- 66 nmol/l (n = 41) in the presence of GPN. Whereas only a single intracellular Ca2+ release could be induced by GPN in a Ca(2+)-free perfusate, repetitive release could be evoked in Ca2+ containing solutions suggesting reuptake of Ca2+ into lysosomal stores. GPN-induced Ca2+ release was blunted after pretreatment with thapsigargin (TG), an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-ATPase, or repeated applications of ATP inducing Ca2+ release from inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) sensitive Ca2+ stores. The effect of ATP on Ca2+ release was, however, not abolished by preceding GPN treatment. GPN-induced Ca2+ release from lysosomes was independent of InsP3 formation or Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release, since it was unaffected by the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73, 122 or by caffeine and ruthenium red. These results suggest that Ca2+ largely accumulates in lysosomal vesicles. Moreover, these organelles seem to be part or functionally coupled with InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores.
