Abstract
There have been in the last three decades repeated publications indicating that the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is regulated not only by cytosolic Ca2+ but also by intraluminal Ca2+. Although most studies indicated that a decreasing intraluminal Ca2+ level led to an inhibition of the IP3R, a number of publications reported exactly the opposite effect, i.e. an inhibition of the IP3R by high intraluminal Ca2+ levels. Although intraluminal Ca2+-binding sites on the IP3Rs were reported, a regulatory role for them was not demonstrated. It is also well known that the IP3R is regulated by a vast array of associated proteins, but only relatively recently proteins were identified that can be linked to the regulation of the IP3R by intraluminal Ca2+. The first to be reported was annexin A1 that is proposed to associate with the second intraluminal loop of the IP3R at high intraluminal Ca2+ levels and to inhibit the IP3R. More recently, ERdj5/PDIA19 reductase was described to reduce an intraluminal disulfide bridge of IP3R1 only at low intraluminal Ca2+ levels and thereby to inhibit the IP3R. Annexin A1 and ERdj5/PDIA19 can therefore explain most of the experimental results on the regulation of the IP3R by intraluminal Ca2+. Further studies are needed to provide a fuller understanding of the regulation of the IP3R from the intraluminal side. These findings underscore the importance of the state of the endoplasmic reticulum in the control of IP3R activity.

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

Abstract
Although a large number of mutations causing malfunction of complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) of the OXPHOS system is now known, their cell biological consequences remain obscure. We previously showed that the bradykinin (Bk)-induced increase in mitochondrial [ATP] ([ATP](M)) is significantly reduced in primary skin fibroblasts from a patient with an isolated complex I deficiency. The present work addresses the mechanism(s) underlying this impaired response. Luminometry of fibroblasts from 6 healthy subjects and 14 genetically characterized patients expressing mitochondria targeted luciferase revealed that the Bk-induced increase in [ATP](M) was significantly, but to a variable degree, decreased in 10 patients. The same variation was observed for the increases in mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](M)), measured with mitochondria targeted aequorin, and cytosolic [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](C)), measured with fura-2, and for the Ca(2+) content of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), calculated from the increase in [Ca(2+)](C) evoked by thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the ER Ca(2+) ATPase. Regression analysis revealed that the increase in [ATP](M) was directly proportional to the increases in [Ca(2+)](C) and [Ca(2+)](M) and to the ER Ca(2+) content. Our findings provide evidence that a pathological reduction in ER Ca(2+) content is the direct cause of the impaired Bk-induced increase in [ATP](M) in human complex I deficiency.

Abstract
Video-rate confocal microscopy of Indo-1-loaded human skeletal myotubes was used to assess the relationship between the changes in sarcoplasmic ([Ca(2+)](S)) and nuclear ([Ca(2+)](N)) Ca(2+) concentration during low- and high-frequency electrostimulation. A single stimulus of 10 ms duration transiently increased [Ca(2+)] in both compartments with the same time of onset. Rate and amplitude of the [Ca(2+)] rise were significantly lower in the nucleus (4.0- and 2.5-fold, respectively). Similarly, [Ca(2+)](N) decayed more slowly than [Ca(2+)](S) (mono-exponential time constants of 6.1 and 2.5 s, respectively). After return of [Ca(2+)] to the prestimulatory level, a train of 10 stimuli was applied at a frequency of 1 Hz. The amplitude of the first [Ca(2+)](S) transient was 25% lower than that of the preceding single transient. Thereafter, [Ca(2+)](S) increased stepwise to a maximum that equalled that of the single transient. Similarly, the amplitude of the first [Ca(2+)](N) transient was 20% lower than that of the preceding single transient. In contrast to [Ca(2+)](S), [Ca(2+)](N) then increased to a maximum that was 2.3-fold higher than that of the single transient and equalled that of [Ca(2+)](S). In the nucleus, and to a lesser extent in the sarcoplasm, [Ca(2+)] decreased faster at the end of the stimulus train than after the preceding single stimulus (time constants of 3.3 and 2.1 s, respectively). To gain insight into the molecular principles underlying the shaping of the nuclear Ca(2+) signal, a 3-D mathematical model was constructed. Intriguingly, quantitative modelling required the inclusion of a satiable nuclear Ca(2+) buffer. Alterations in the concentration of this putative buffer had dramatic effects on the kinetics of the nuclear Ca(2+) signal. This finding unveils a possible mechanism by which the skeletal muscle can adapt to changes in physiological demand.

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

Abstract
Two fluorescent off-on Ca2+ indicators based on APTRA (o-aminophenol-N,N,O-triacetic acid) as low-affinity ligand for Ca2+ and BODIPY(4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) as a fluorophore were synthesized. The new BODIPY-APTRA compounds absorb in the visible spectrum, with absorption maxima from 505 nm to 570 nm, and have fluorescence spectra that span the visible spectrum, with emission maxima ranging from 525 nm to 625 nm dependent on the substituents at the alpha-positions to the nitrogen atoms. The indicators show a large increase of the fluorescence quantum yield upon increasing Ca2+ concentration. The ground-state dissociation constants Kd estimated at 20 degrees C in 100 mM KCl aqueous buffered solution, pH 7.20, for the two complexes with Ca2+ were found to be around 100 microM.

Abstract
Extracellular agonists mobilize Ca2+ from SERCA-comprising intracellular Ca2+ stores located in both the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum. Ca2+ release from both these compartments was studied in HeLa cells stably expressing the luminescent Ca2+ indicator aequorin specifically targeted to these compartments. Changes in lumenal [Ca2+] as detected by the aequorin measurements were correlated with parallel changes in total Ca2+ content of the stores. The latencies and initial rates of Ca2+ release from the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum were quite similar. However, maximal Ca2+ release measured with Golgi-targeted aequorin terminated faster than that from the endoplasmic reticulum. The rate and extent of Ca2+ depletion from both compartments correlated well with the peak amplitude of the cytosolic [Ca2+] rise. Time-course experiments further revealed that the peak of the cytosolic Ca2+ response occurred before the lumenal [Ca2+] reached its lowest level. We conclude that both the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum contribute to the rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] upon agonist stimulation, but the kinetics of the Ca2+ release are different.

Abstract
Human mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) of the oxidative phosphorylation system is a multiprotein assembly comprising both nuclear and mitochondrially encoded subunits. Deficiency of this complex is associated with numerous clinical syndromes ranging from highly progressive, often early lethal encephalopathies, of which Leigh disease is the most frequent, to neurodegenerative disorders in adult life, including Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy and Parkinson disease. We show here that the cytosolic Ca2+ signal in response to hormonal stimulation with bradykinin was impaired in skin fibroblasts from children between the ages of 0 and 5 years with an isolated complex I deficiency caused by mutations in nuclear encoded structural subunits of the complex. Inhibition of mitochondrial Na+-Ca2+ exchange by the benzothiazepine CGP37157 completely restored the aberrant cytosolic Ca2+ signal. This effect of the inhibitor was paralleled by complete restoration of the bradykinin-induced increases in mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration and ensuing ATP production. Thus, impaired mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation during agonist stimulation is a major consequence of human complex I deficiency, a finding that may provide the basis for the development of new therapeutic approaches to this disorder.

Abstract
In muscle, ATP is required for the powerstroke of the myosin head, the detachment of actin and myosin filaments, and the reuptake of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. During contraction-relaxation, large amounts of ATP are consumed at the sites of action of the myosin-ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. The present study addresses the consequences of a reduction in mitochondrial ATP production capacity on sarcoplasmic Ca2+ handling. To this end, myotubes were cultured from patient quadriceps with a biochemically defined decrease in the maximal rate of mitochondrial ATP production and were loaded with indo 1 for imaging of sarcoplasmic Ca2+ changes in real time by confocal microscopy. Myotubes were field-stimulated with 10-ms pulses of 16 V to evoke transient rises in sarcoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]S). Three single pulses, two pulse trains (1 Hz), and one single pulse were applied in succession to mimic changing workloads. Control myotubes displayed [Ca2+]S transients with an amplitude that was independent of the strength of the stimulus. Intriguingly, the rate of sarcoplasmic Ca2+ removal (CRR) was significantly upregulated during the second and subsequent transients. In myotubes with a reduced mitochondrial ATP production capacity, the amplitude of the [Ca2+]S transients was markedly increased at higher stimulus intensities. Moreover, upregulation of the CRR was significantly decreased compared with control. Taken together, these results are in good agreement with a tight coupling between mitochondrial ATP production and sarcoplasmic Ca2+ handling. Moreover, they support the existence of a relatively long-lasting mitochondrial memory for sarcoplasmic [Ca2+] rises. This memory, which manifested itself as an increase in CRR upon recurrent stimulation, was impaired in patient myotubes with a reduced mitochondrial ATP production capacity.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores displays complex kinetic behavior. While it well established that cytosolic [Ca2+] can modulate release by acting on the InsP3 receptor directly, the role of the filling state of internal Ca2+stores in modulating Ca2+ release remains unclear. Here we have reevaluated this topic using a technique that permits rapid and reversible changes in free [Ca2+] in internal stores of living intact cells without altering cytoplasmic [Ca2+], InsP3 receptors, or sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPases (SERCAs). N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylene diamine (TPEN), a membrane-permeant, low affinity Ca2+ chelator was used to manipulate [Ca2+] in intracellular stores, while [Ca2+] changes within the store were monitored directly with the low-affinity Ca2+ indicator, mag-fura-2, in intact BHK-21 cells. 200 microM TPEN caused a rapid drop in luminal free [Ca2+] and significantly reduced the extent of the response to stimulation with 100 nm bradykinin, a calcium-mobilizing agonist. The same effect was observed when intact cells were pretreated with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid(acetoxymethyl ester) (BAPTA-AM) to buffer cytoplasmic [Ca2+] changes. Although inhibition of Ca2+ uptake using the SERCA inhibitor tBHQ permitted significantly larger release of Ca2+ from stores, TPEN still attenuated the release in the presence of tBHQ in BAPTA-AM-loaded cells. These results demonstrate that the filling state of stores modulates the magnitude of InsP3-induced Ca2+release by additional mechanism(s) that are independent of regulation by cytoplasmic [Ca2+] or effects on SERCA pumps.

Abstract
Evidence in the literature implicating both Ras-like Ras (R-Ras) and intracellular Ca(2+) in programmed cell death and integrin-mediated adhesion prompted us to investigate the possibility that R-Ras alters cellular Ca(2+) handling. Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the cholecystokinin (CCK)-A receptor were loaded with indo-1 to study the effects of constitutively active V38R-Ras and dominant negative N43R-Ras on the kinetics of the thapsigargin (Tg)- and CCK(8)-induced Ca(2+) rises using high speed confocal microscopy. In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), both 1 microm Tg, a potent and selective inhibitor of the Ca(2+) pump of the intracellular Ca(2+) store, and 100 nm CCK(8) evoked a transient rise in Ca(2+), the size of which was decreased significantly after expression of V38R-Ras. At 0.1 nm, CCK(8) evoked periodic Ca(2+) rises. The frequency of these Ca(2+) oscillations was reduced significantly in V38R-Ras-expressing cells. In contrast to V38R-Ras, N43R-Ras did not alter the kinetics of the Tg- and CCK(8)-induced Ca(2+) rises. The present findings are compatible with the idea that V38R-Ras expression increases the passive leak of Ca(2+) of the store leading to a decrease in Ca(2+) content of this store, which, in turn, leads to a decrease in frequency of the CCK(8)-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillations. The effect of V38R-Ras on the Ca(2+) content of the intracellular Ca(2+) store closely resembles that of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 observed earlier. Together with reports on the role of dynamic Ca(2+) changes in integrin-mediated adhesion, this leads us to propose that the reduction in endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) content may underlie the antiapoptotic effect of R-Ras, whereas the decrease in frequency of stimulus-induced Ca(2+) oscillations may play a role in the inhibitory effect of R-Ras on stimulus-induced cell detachment and migration.

Abstract
Fluorescence ratio imaging indicates that immobilized, aspirin-treated platelets, loaded with Fura-2, respond to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate- (InsP3)-generating agonists such as thrombin by high-frequency, irregular rises in cytosolic [Ca2+]i with spikes that vary in peak level and peak-to-peak interval. This differs from the regular [Ca2+]i oscillations observed in other, larger cells. We found that the thiol-reactive compounds thimerosal (10 microm) and U73122 (10 microm) evoked similar irregular Ca2+ responses in platelets, but in this case in the absence of InsP3 generation. Thrombin-induced spiking was acutely abolished by inhibiting phospholipase C or elevating intracellular cAMP levels, while spiking with sulfhydryl reagents was only partially blocked by cAMP elevation. Confocal laser scanning microscopy using fluo-3-loaded platelets indicated that, with all agonists or conditions, the irregular spikes were almost instantaneously raised in various regions within a single platelet. When using saponin-permeabilized platelets, we found that InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from stores was stimulated by modest Ca2+ concentrations, pointing to a mechanism of InsP3-dependent Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). This process was completely inhibitable by heparin. The Ca2+ release by InsP3, but not the CICR sensor, was negatively regulated by cAMP elevation. Thimerosal treatment did not release Ca2+ from intracellular stores, but markedly potentiated the stimulatory effect of InsP3. In contrast, U73122 caused a heparin/cAMP-insensitive Ca2+ leak from stores that differed from those used by InsP3. Taken together, these results demonstrate that InsP3 receptor channels play a crucial role in the irregular, spiking Ca2+ signal of intact platelets, even when induced by agents such as thimerosal or U73122 which do not stimulate InsP3 formation. The irregular Ca2+ release events appear to be subjected to extensive regulation by: (a) InsP3 level, (b) the potentiating effect of elevated Ca2+ on InsP3 action via CICR, (c) InsP3 channel sensitization by sulfhydryl (thimerosal) modification, (d) InsP3 channel-independent Ca2+ leak with U73122, and (e) down-regulation via cAMP elevation. The observation that individual Ca2+ peaks were generated in various parts of a platelet at similar intervals and amplitudes points to effective cooperation of the various stores in the Ca2+-release process.

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

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

Abstract
The mechanisms of agonist-induced Ca(2+) spikes have been investigated using a caged inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) and a low-affinity Ca(2+) indicator, BTC, in pancreatic acinar cells. Rapid photolysis of caged IP(3) was able to reproduce acetylcholine (ACh)-induced three forms of Ca(2+) spikes: local Ca(2+) spikes and submicromolar (<1 microM) and micromolar (1-15 microM) global Ca(2+) spikes (Ca(2+) waves). These observations indicate that subcellular gradients of IP(3) sensitivity underlie all forms of ACh-induced Ca(2+) spikes, and that the amplitude and extent of Ca(2+) spikes are determined by the concentration of IP(3). IP(3)-induced local Ca(2+) spikes exhibited similar time courses to those generated by ACh, supporting a role for Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release in local Ca(2+) spikes. In contrast, IP(3)- induced global Ca(2+) spikes were consistently faster than those evoked with ACh at all concentrations of IP(3) and ACh, suggesting that production of IP(3) via phospholipase C was slow and limited the spread of the Ca(2+) spikes. Indeed, gradual photolysis of caged IP(3) reproduced ACh-induced slow Ca(2+) spikes. Thus, local and global Ca(2+) spikes involve distinct mechanisms, and the kinetics of global Ca(2+) spikes depends on that of IP(3) production particularly in those cells such as acinar cells where heterogeneity in IP(3) sensitivity plays critical role.

Abstract
Stimulation of pancreatic acinar cells raises [Ca2+]i via Ca2+ release from inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores, generally considered to reside within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, with physiological doses of cholinergic agonists, the [Ca2+]i increase is localized to the apical (secretory) pole of the cell, leading to suggestions that zymogen (secretory) granules themselves may constitute an InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ store responsible for localized Ca2+ release. We have therefore re-investigated whether the ER in pancreatic acinar cells is capable of acting as a functional Ca2+ store in all, or only some, cellular regions. In streptolysin O-permeabilized cells, the ER accumulated up to 25 mmol of 45Ca2+ per liter ER volume by an ATP-dependent, thapsigargin-sensitive, process. This tracer Ca2+ uptake was dependent on ambient (loading) [Ca2+], as was the intra-ER free [Ca2+], assessed by imaging the fluorescence of Magfura-2 within the Ca2+ stores. Comparison of free and total intra-ER [Ca2+] indicated that 200-300 Ca2+ ions are bound within the ER lumen for every Ca2+ ion remaining free. Subcellular analysis showed that ER stores in all regions of the permeabilized cell took up Ca2+ at loading [Ca2+] between 60 nM and 1 microM. Thapsigargin released Ca2+ from stores in all cellular regions, as did InsP3. Immunofluorescence with antibodies against sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum-2b type Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase or calreticulin confirmed that ER Ca2+ stores were present throughout the cytoplasm. In summary, these results clearly show that the endoplasmic reticulum can act as a functional Ca2+ store in all regions of the acinar cell, including the apical pole.

Abstract
Melanotrope cells of Xenopus laevis display intracellular calcium oscillations which are generated at the plasma membrane and travel as a wave through the cytoplasm into the nucleus. An oscillation involves discrete increases in intracellular Ca2+ ('steps'), followed by a relatively smooth return to the basal Ca2+ level. The aim of our investigation was to determine what role these steps play in shaping the Ca2+ signal in melanotrope cells, by conducting a high resolution spatio-temporal analysis of the kinetics of the Ca2+ steps. To this end Fura-red loaded cells were analysed by confocal laser scanning microscopy using the line scanning method to achieve 6 ms time resolution. Furthermore, the kinetics of the steps were analysed in 3 different intracellular areas, to see if there are spatial differences in Ca2+ signalling kinetics. The results showed that each calcium oscillation is built up by 3-4 steps that were generated very quickly and had approximately the same size. Following each Ca2+ step, there was a slow removal of calcium before the next step boosted the overall level of Ca2+. Since the Ca2+ steps were most pronounced directly beneath the plasma membrane, they appear to be generated in this region. The speed of the Ca2+ wave near the membrane exceeded 40 microns/s, indicating an active mechanism for wave propagation. In deeper regions of the cell, the wave speed was much slower (about 8 microns/s) and the size of each step was smaller, indicating that regulation occurs within a narrower range of [Ca2+]i. Inside the nucleus, however, the calcium wave accelerated again (23 microns/s). Treatment with TRH evoked a high amplitude Ca2+ transient and increased the number of Ca2+ steps to 5 or 6. Each step had approximately the same size as the steps of the pretreatment Ca2+ oscillations. Caffeine treatment, which increased the frequency of the oscillations, had no effect on the number or the size of the Ca2+ steps, but it reduced the time needed for each step to reach its maximum height. We suggest a possible 'building block' function for the Ca2+ steps, whereby a cell generates more steps to achieve a high oscillation amplitude or accelerates the speed of the steps to increase the frequency of oscillations. Both phenomena may play a crucial role in the encoding of information transduced from an extracellular input to the intracellular target.

Abstract
Capacitative calcium entry was studied in the A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cell line by measuring 45Ca2+ influx. Entry was induced by depletion of the Ca2+ pools by either the receptor agonist [Arg]8 vasopressin (AVP) or the SR-Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (TG). TG showed a higher efficacy for calcium influx than AVP. This is probably due to a larger Ca2+ release from the pools induced by TG compared to AVP and the irreversible inhibition of the SR-Ca(2+)-ATPase by TG causing influx to persist for a longer period of time. At maximally effective concentrations signals induced by AVP and TG were synergistic in the absence but not in the presence of the intracellular calcium chelator, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA). Depolarisation with 55 mM KCl completely inhibited 45Ca2+ influx induced by TG but only slightly the one induced by AVP, both effects being less pronounced in the presence of BAPTA. [Ca2+]c signals induced by AVP and TG were both inhibited by depolarisation. In conclusion, although our results show differences between AVP- and TG- induced Ca2+ influx, they can be explained by their different mechanism of action and are in accordance with an activation of the same capacitative entry pathway by both agents.

Abstract
Continuous perfusion of immobilized electropermeabilized SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells was utilised as a novel approach to the assessment of incremental activation and inactivation of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced calcium (Ca2+) mobilisation (IICM). SH-SY5Y cells when stimulated with sub-optimal IP3 exhibited a rapid concentration dependent activation of Ca2+ mobilization followed by a partial inactivation. Although this partial inactivation allowed net Ca2+ mobilized to be stringently returned to basal levels, a concentration-dependent depletion of the store was maintained while ever perfusion with the stimulating IP3 concentration was sustained. This partial inactivation of IP3-induced quantal Ca2+ release (QCR) was only compromised if cells, with replete Ca2+ stores, were perfused with supra-maximally effective concentrations of IP3 (5-10 microM). Thus, at supra-optimal IP3 concentrations, a reproducible plateau of Ca2+ release lying 50-150 nM above the basal Ca2+ concentration was observed. Feedback on IP3R sensitivity by gross cytosolic Ca2+ levels could be eliminated as the sustained and exclusive mediator of incremental activation/inactivation cycle of IICM in SH-SY5Y cells, since released Ca2+ was perfused away from the immobilized cells. Thus, while ever the cells were continuously perfused with IP3, impressive incremental inactivation was apparent. Additionally, IP3R partial agonists were found to exhibit lower intrinsic activity for both activation and inactivation of QCR, suggesting that ligand-induced inactivation of the IP3R was more important than inactivation mechanisms reliant on either Ca2+ flux through the channel and/or calcium store depletion. Therefore, we suggest that, in perfused SH-SY5Y cells, the most parsimonious explanation of our data is that IP3 binding probably activates and then partially inactivates its receptor in a concentration-dependent fashion to produce the QCR phenomenon.

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

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that the existence of a heterogeneous population of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3)-sensitive Ca2+ stores underlies the polarized agonist-induced rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in pancreatic acinar cells (Kasai, H., Li, Y. X., and Miyashita, Y. (1993) Cell 74, 669-677; Thorn, P., Lawrie, A. M., Smith, P. M., Gallacher, D. V., and Petersen, O. H. (1993) Cell 74, 661-668). To investigate whether the apical pole of acinar cells contains Ca2+ stores which are relatively more sensitive to Ins(1,4,5)P3 than those in basolateral areas, we studied Ca2+ handling by Ca2+ stores in individual streptolysin O (SLO) permeabilized cells using the low affinity Ca2+ indicator Magfura-2 and an in situ imaging technique. The uptake of Ca2+ by intracellular Ca2+ stores was ATP-dependent. A steady-state level was reached within 10 min, and the free Ca2+ concentration inside loaded Ca2+ stores was estimated to be 70 microM. Ins(1,4,5)P3 induced Ca2+ release in a dose-dependent, "quantal" fashion. The kinetics of this release were similar to those reported for suspensions of permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells. Interestingly, the permeabilized acinar cells showed no intercellular variation in Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitivity. Although SLO treatment is known to result in a considerable loss of cytosolic factors, permeabilization did not result in a redistribution of zymogen granules, as judged by electron microscope analysis. These results suggest that Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ stores are unlikely to be redistributed as a result of SLO treatment. The effects of Ins(1,4,5)P3 were therefore subsequently studied at the subcellular level. Detailed analysis demonstrated that no regional differences in Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitivity exist in this permeabilized cell system. Therefore, we propose that additional cytosolic factors and/or the involvement of ryanodine receptors underlie the polarized pattern of agonist-induced Ca2+ signaling in intact pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
Calcium release from intracellular stores occurs in a graded manner in response to increasing concentrations of either inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate or caffeine. To investigate the mechanism responsible for this quantal release phenomenon, [Ca2+] changes inside intracellular stores in isolated single smooth muscle cells were monitored with mag-fura 2. Following permeabilization with saponin or alpha-toxin the dye, loaded via its acetoxymethyl ester, was predominantly trapped in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Low caffeine concentrations in the absence of ATP induced only partial Ca2+ release; however, after inhibiting the calcium pump with thapsigargin the same stimulus released twice as much Ca2+. When the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase was rendered non-functional by depleting its "ATP pool," submaximal caffeine doses almost fully emptied the stores of Ca2+. We conclude that quantal release of Ca2+ in response to caffeine in these smooth muscle cells is largely due to the activity of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, which appears to return a portion of the released Ca2+ back to the SR, even in the absence of ATP. Apparently the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase is fueled by ATP, which is either compartmentalized or bound to the SR.

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

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

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

Abstract
The initial release of Ca2+ from the intracellular Ca2+ stores is followed by a second phase during which the agonist-dependent Ca2+ response becomes sensitive to the extracellular Ca2+, indicating the involvement of the plasma membrane (PM) Ca2+ transport systems. The time course of activation of these transport systems, which consist of both Ca2+ extrusion and Ca2+ entry pathways, is not well established. To investigate the participation of these processes during the agonist-evoked Ca2+ response, isolated pancreatic acinar cells were exposed to maximal concentrations of an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mobilizing agonist (acetylcholine, 10 microM) in different experimental conditions. Following the increase of [Ca2+]i, there was an almost immediate activation of the PM Ca2+ extrusion system, and maximal activity was reached within less than 2s. The rate of Ca2+ extrusion was dependent on the level of [Ca2+]i, with a steep activation at values just above the resting [Ca2+]i and reached a plateau value at 700 nM Ca2+. In contrast, the PM Ca2+ entry pathway was activated with a much slower time course. There was also a delay of 3-4 s between the maximal effective depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ stores and the activation of this entry pathway. By use of digital imaging data, the PM Ca2+ transport systems were also analyzed independently in two regions of the cells, the lumenal and the basal poles. With respect to the activation of the Ca2+ entry pathways, no significant difference existed between these two regions. In contrast, the PM Ca2+ pump displayed a different pattern of activity in these regions. In the basal pole, the pump activity was more sensitive to changes of [Ca2+]i and had a higher maximal activity. Also, in the lumenal pole, the pump became saturated at values of [Ca2+]i around 700 nM, whereas at the basal pole [Ca2+]i had a biphasic effect on the pump activity, and higher [Ca2+]i inhibited the pump. It is argued that these differences in sensitivity to the levels of [Ca2+]i and the different relationship between [Ca2+]i and the rate of extrusion at the two functional poles of the pancreatic acinar cells indicate that the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase might play an important role in the polarization of the Ca2+ response.

Abstract
Rabbit pancreatic acinar cells, permeabilized by saponin treatment, were used to study the kinetics of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake and release in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3)-sensitive and -insensitive stores. Permeabilized acinar cells rapidly accumulated Ca2+ to steady-state. At steady state, approximately 60% of actively stored Ca2+ resided in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store. Kinetic analysis of the Ca2+ uptake process revealed that the initial Ca2+ uptake rate was 1.7 times higher in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive store as compared to the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store. On the other hand, the Ca2+ uptake capacity was 1.6 times higher in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store as compared to the Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive store. The Ca2+ uptake rate in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store remained virtually constant for at least 4 min, whereas in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive Ca2+ store this rate progressively declined with time. These observations are compatible with: (i) an Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store containing relatively few Ca2+ pumps but possessing a relatively high Ca2+ uptake capacity, which may reflect the presence of a substantial amount of Ca2+ binding protein; and (ii) an Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive Ca2+ store containing relatively many Ca2+ pumps but possessing a relatively low Ca2+ uptake capacity, which may reflect the presence of little if any Ca2+ binding protein. The data presented are consistent with the idea of a heterogeneous distribution of Ca2+ pumps, Ca2+ binding proteins and Ca2+ release channels between intracellular Ca2+ storage organelles.

Abstract
In current models describing agonist-induced oscillations in [Ca2+]i, Ca2+ entry is generally assumed to have a simple sustaining role, replenishing Ca2+ lost from the cell and recharging intracellular Ca2+ stores. In cells from the avian nasal gland, a model exocrine cell, we show that inhibition of Ca2+ entry by La3+, SK&F 96365, or by membrane depolarization, rapidly blocks [Ca2+]i oscillations but does so without detectable depletion of agonist-sensitive Ca2+ stores. As the rate of Mn2+ quenching during [Ca2+]i oscillations is constant, Ca2+ entry is not directly contributing to the [Ca2+]i changes and, instead, appears to be involved in inducing the repetitive release of Ca2+ from internal stores. Together, these data contradict current models in that (i) at the low agonist concentrations where [Ca2+]i oscillations are seen, generated levels of Ins(1,4,5)P3 are themselves inadequate to result in a regenerative [Ca2+]i signal, and (ii) Ca2+ entry is necessary to actually drive the intrinsic oscillatory mechanism.
