Abstract
In hepatocytes, as in other cell types, Ca(2+) signaling is subject to complex regulations, which result largely from the intrinsic characteristics of the different inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) isoforms and from their interactions with other proteins. Although sigma1 receptors (Sig-1Rs) are widely expressed in the liver, their involvement in hepatic Ca(2+) signaling remains unknown. We here report that in this cell type Sig-1R interact with type 1 isoforms of the InsP(3) receptors (InsP(3)R-1). These results obtained by immunoprecipitation experiments are confirmed by the observation that Sig-1R proteins and InsP(3)R-1 colocalize in hepatocytes. However, Sig-1R ligands have no effect on InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release in hepatocytes. This can be explained by the rather low expression level expression of InsP(3)R-1. In contrast, we find that Sig-1R ligands can inhibit agonist-induced Ca(2+) signaling via an inhibitory effect on InsP(3) synthesis. We show that this inhibition is due to the stimulation of PKC activity by Sig-1R, resulting in the well-known down-regulation of the signaling pathway responsible for the transduction of the extracellular stimulus into InsP(3) synthesis. The PKC sensitive to Sig-1R activity belongs to the family of conventional PKC, but the precise molecular mechanism of this regulation remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
Sustained elevation of intracellular calcium by Ca2+ release–activated Ca2+ channels is required for lymphocyte activation. Sustained Ca2+ entry requires endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ depletion and prolonged activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)/Ca2+ release channels. However, a major isoform in lymphocyte ER, IP3R1, is inhibited by elevated levels of cytosolic Ca2+, and the mechanism that enables the prolonged activation of IP3R1 required for lymphocyte activation is unclear. We show that IP3R1 binds to the scaffolding protein linker of activated T cells and colocalizes with the T cell receptor during activation, resulting in persistent phosphorylation of IP3R1 at Tyr353. This phosphorylation increases the sensitivity of the channel to activation by IP3 and renders the channel less sensitive to Ca2+-induced inactivation. Expression of a mutant IP3R1-Y353F channel in lymphocytes causes defective Ca2+ signaling and decreased nuclear factor of activated T cells activation. Thus, tyrosine phosphorylation of IP3R1-Y353 may have an important function in maintaining elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels during lymphocyte activation.

Abstract
In the present study we investigated the effects of K and other univalent cations on [3H]InsP3 [[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3] binding to sheep cerebellar microsomes. In equilibrium binding experiments performed over 4 s at pH 7.1 and 20 degrees C, the addition of K to the binding medium decreased the affinity and increased the total number of binding sites for InsP3 in a dose-dependent manner. At low InsP3 concentration (0.5 nM) these effects resulted in a biphasic dose-response curve, with maximal binding at about 75 mM K. In contrast, the dose-response curve calculated for InsP3 at the physiological concentration of 5 mM, was linear up to 200 mM K. Univalent inorganic cations stimulated [3H]InsP3 binding to various extents, with the following descending order of efficiency at 75 mM: Cs approximately Rb approximately K>Na>Li. The effect of K on InsP3R affinity was rapidly reversed upon cation removal. We were therefore also able to demonstrate that K increased Bmax (maximal specific binding) by pre-treating microsomes with K before measuring [3H]InsP3 binding in the absence of that cation. The increase in Bmax was reversible, but this reversal occurred less rapidly than the change in affinity. These results are consistent with a process by which K reversibly converted very low-affinity sites into sites with higher affinity, making them detectable in competitive binding experiments. They suggest that interconversion between these two affinity states constitutes the basis of a K-controlled regulatory mechanism for cerebellar InsP3R.

Abstract
A fundamental mechanism that is believed to contribute to neuronal injury and death following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in cellular calcium homeostasis. Of primary importance to these homeostatic mechanisms are intracellular calcium stores located on the endoplasmic reticulum. These intracellular stores play an important role in maintaining normal levels of calcium and calcium-mediated signaling through these stores is critical to several physiological processes in neurons. Using an in vitro model of stretch-induced traumatic injury and fura-2 digital calcium imaging, we investigated alterations in calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) and inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP(3))-linked signaling through intracellular calcium stores in populations of cultured rat cortical neurons. Caffeine, which stimulates CICR, produced a rapid elevation of intracellular free calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in 70% of uninjured neurons. Fifteen min after injury the population of caffeine-responsive neurons was reduced to 30%. The IP(3)-linked muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonists, CDD-0097 HCl and McN-A-343, produced elevations in [Ca(2+)](i) in 91% and 70% of uninjured neurons, respectively. Following injury the population of responders was reduced to 19% and 26%, respectively. Differential responses to agonists were also noted after injury, in which the majority of neurons within a given culture well were unresponsive to agonists while others elicited a normal elevation of calcium. These results suggest disruptions in intracellular calcium store-mediated signaling and altered calcium signaling population dynamics following injury. These alterations could affect normal neurotransmission in the brain and may contribute to some of the pathology of TBI.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors are tetrameric intracellular Ca(2+) channels, the opening of which is regulated by both IP(3) and Ca(2+). We suggest that all IP(3) receptors are biphasically regulated by cytosolic Ca(2+), which binds to two distinct sites. IP(3) promotes channel opening by controlling whether Ca(2+) binds to the stimulatory or inhibitory sites. The stimulatory site is probably an integral part of the receptor lying just upstream of the pore region. Inhibition of IP(3) receptors by Ca(2+) probably requires an accessory protein, which has not yet been unequivocally identified, but calmodulin is a prime candidate. We speculate that one lobe of calmodulin tethers it to the IP(3) receptor, while the other lobe can bind Ca(2+) and then interact with a second site on the receptor to cause inhibition.

Abstract
Three isoforms of the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] receptor have been identified. Each receptor isoform has been functionally characterized using many different techniques. Although these receptor isoforms possess high homology, interesting differences in their Ca2+ dependence, Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitivity and subcellular distribution exist, implying distinct cellular roles. Indeed, interplay among the isoforms might be necessary for a cell to control spatial and temporal aspects of cytosolic Ca2+ signals, which are important for many cellular processes. In this review isoform-specific functions, primarily at the single-channel level, will be highlighted and these properties will be correlated with Ca2+ signals in intact cells.

Abstract
Three different genes encode the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R), an intracellular Ca2+ channel involved in cellular Ca2+ signaling. The IP3-binding characteristics of the various IP3R isoforms differ, but until now no specific activators or inhibitors of IP3 binding have been described. We compared the effects of oxidizing reagents, in particular thimerosal, and of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) on IP3 binding to the various IP3R isoforms. We therefore expressed the N-terminal 581 amino acids of the three IP(3)R isoforms as recombinant proteins in the soluble fraction of Escherichia coli (ligand-binding sites [lbs] 1, 2, and 3) as well as the full-length IP3R1 and IP3R3 in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells. Thimerosal (100 microM) stimulated IP3 binding to lbs-1 (1.4-fold) and lbs-3 (2.5-fold), but had no effect on lbs-2. Thimerosal acted on lbs-1 and lbs-3 by decreasing the Kd for IP3 binding (from 46 +/- 4 nM to 20 +/- 2 nM and from 54 +/- 21 nM to 19 +/- 7 nM for lbs-1 and -3, respectively) without modifying the Bmax. Similarly, IP3 binding to microsomes of Sf9 insect cells overexpressing the full-length IP3R1 was 1.2-fold stimulated by thimerosal. Thimerosal, however, did not affect IP3 binding to Sf9-IP3R3 microsomes, suggesting that in situ thimerosal will only directly affect ligand binding to the type 1 isoform. cADPR (50 microM) stimulated IP3 binding to Sf9-IP3R1 microsomes (1.5-fold), but not to Sf9-IP3R3 microsomes. In addition, cADPR inhibited IP3 binding to lbs-1 and lbs-2 by decreasing the affinity for IP3 1.8- and 2.8-fold, respectively, while IP3 binding to lbs-3 was not affected. These results suggest that a regulatory site for cADPR is present in the ligand-binding domain of IP3R1 and 2, but not of IP3R3.

Abstract
Using an in vitro traumatic injury model, we examined the effects of mechanical (stretch) injury on intracellular Ca2+ store-mediated signaling in cultured cortical neurons using fura-2. We previously found that elevation of [Ca2+](i) by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin, was abolished 15 min post-injury. In the current studies, pre-injury inhibition of phospholipase C with neomycin sulfate maintained Ca2+-replete stores 15 min post-injury, suggesting that the initial injury-induced store depletion may be due to increased inositol trisphosphate production. Thapsigargin-stimulated elevation of [Ca2+](i) returned with time after injury and was potentiated at 3 h. Stimulation with thapsigargin in Ca2+-free media revealed that the size of the Ca2+ stores was normal at 3 h post-injury. However, Ca2+ influx triggered by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores (capacitative Ca2+ influx) was enhanced 3 h after injury. Enhancement was blocked by inhibitors of cytosolic phospholipase A2 and cytochrome P450 epoxygenase. Since intracellular Ca2+ store-mediated signaling plays an important role in neuronal function, the observed changes may contribute to dysfunction produced by traumatic brain injury. Additionally, our results suggest that capacitative Ca2+ influx may be mediated by both conformational coupling and a diffusible messenger synthesized by the combined action of cytosolic PLA2 and P450.

Abstract
The regulation of the phospholipase C (PLC) and the expression of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) in terms of mRNA, proteins, and binding capacity were examined in the rat myometrium and endometrium at midgestation (Day 12) and at term (Day 21) comparatively to the estrogen-treated tissues (Day 0). In both uterine tissues, the production of inositol phosphates mediated by carbachol as well as by AlF(4)(-) was enhanced with advancing gestation. (3)[H]IP(3) binding sites in membranes also increased during pregnancy (Day 21 > Day 12 > Day 0). The mRNAs encoding for three isoforms of IP(3)R as well as their corresponding proteins, IP(3)R-1, IP(3)R-2, and IP(3)R-3 were coexpressed, albeit to different extents, in the myometrium and endometrium. The expression of IP(3)Rs increased with advancing gestation, except for IP(3)R-2 that increased only in the endometrium at term. Thus, the pregnancy-related upregulation of the PLC cascade coincided with an increase in the expression of IP(3)Rs. The difference noted between the two uterine tissues suggests that IP(3)Rs may have cell-specific functions.

Abstract
In a previous study we have shown that cultured neural crest cells exhibit spontaneous calcium transients and that these events are required for neurogenesis. In this study, we examine the mechanism that generates these calcium transients. Extracellular Ca(2+) modulates calcium transient activity. Lanthanum (La(3+)), a general calcium channel antagonist and zero extracellular Ca(2+), reduces the percentage of cells exhibiting calcium transients (26.2 and 40. 5%, respectively) and decreases calcium spiking frequency (4.5 to 1. 0 and 2.5 to 1.0 spikes/30 min, respectively). Intracellular calcium stores also contribute to the generation of calcium transients. Depleting the calcium stores of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) reduces the percentage of active cells (15.7%) and calcium spiking frequency (2.8 to 1.5 spikes/30 min). Ryanodine (100 microM), which blocks calcium release regulated by the ryanodine receptor (RyR), had no effect on calcium transient activity. Blocking inositol 1,4, 5-triphosphate receptor (IP(3)R)-dependent calcium release, with elevated extracellular Mg(2+) (20 mM), abolished calcium transient activity. Mg(2+) did not block caffeine-sensitive calcium release (RyR-dependent) or voltage dependent calcium channels. Mg(2+) also suppressed thimerosal-induced calcium oscillations (IP(3)R-dependent). Small increases in the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), increases the percentage of active cells and the calcium spiking frequency, while larger increases in [Ca(2+)](i) block the transients. Reducing intracellular IP(3) levels reduces the percentage of active cells and the calcium spiking frequency. We conclude that the mechanism for generating spontaneous calcium transients in cultured neural crest cells fits the model for IP(3)R-dependent calcium excitability of the ER.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor is essential for Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. There are three InsP3 receptor types which are targets for several types of regulation. Ca2+, phosphorylation, and protein-protein interactions may contribute to the complex pattern of the Ca2+ signal in stimulated cells. Furthermore, the 3 receptor types could have different affinities for InsP3. We compared the affinities of the type 1 receptor from the cerebellum with the liver type 2 receptor both in their membrane environment and after isolation by immunoprecipitation. Measurements of [3H]InsP3 binding in a cytosol-like medium revealed that the Kd of the liver receptor (45 +/- 5 nM, N = 14) was higher than the Kd of the cerebellar receptor (28 +/- 3 nM, N = 9). Solubilization and immunopurification of the liver InsP3 receptor resulted in a 10-fold increase in its affinity for InsP3. The affinity of the cerebellar receptor did not change under these conditions. Therefore, the extraction of the liver and the cerebellar receptors from their membrane environments induced an inversion of their relative affinities. Treatment of liver membranes with low concentrations of detergents also increased the affinity for InsP3 binding. These data indicate that the type 1 and the type 2 InsP3 receptors have different affinities for InsP3 and that the properties of the type 2 receptor are strongly regulated by hydrophobic interactions within its membrane environment.

Abstract
Calcium influx and elevation of intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i), with subsequent activation of degradative enzymes, is hypothesized to cause cell injury and death after traumatic brain injury. We examined the effects of mild-to-severe stretch-induced traumatic injury on [Ca2+]i dynamics in cortical neurons cultured on silastic membranes. [Ca2+]i was rapidly elevated after injury, however, the increase was transient with neuronal [Ca2+]i returning to basal levels by 3 h after injury, except in the most severely injured cells. Despite a return of [Ca2+]i to basal levels, there were persistent alterations in calcium-mediated signal transduction through 24 h after injury. [Ca2+]i elevation in response to glutamate or NMDA was enhanced after injury. We also found novel alterations in intracellular calcium store-mediated signaling. Neuronal calcium stores failed to respond to a stimulus 15 min after injury and exhibited potentiated responses to stimuli at 3 and 24 h post-injury. Thus, changes in calcium-mediated cellular signaling may contribute to the pathology that is observed after traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
We have characterized in detail the Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of [(3)H]Ins(1,4,5)P(3) ([(3)H]InsP(3)) binding to sheep cerebellar microsomes, over a short duration (3 s), with the use of a perfusion protocol. This procedure prevented artifacts previously identified in studies of this Ca(2+) effect. In a cytosol-like medium at pH 7.1 and 20 degrees C, a maximal inhibition of approx. 50% was measured. Both inhibition and its reversal were complete within 3 s. Ca(2+) decreased the affinity of the receptor for InsP(3) by approx. 50% (K(d) 146+/-24 nM at pCa 9 and 321+/-56 nM at pCa 5.3), without changing the total number of binding sites. Conversely, increasing the [(3)H]InsP(3) concentration from 30 to 400 nM tripled the IC(50) for Ca(2+) and decreased the maximal inhibition by 63%. This is similar to a partial competitive inhibition between InsP(3) binding and inhibitory Ca(2+) binding and is consistent with InsP(3) and Ca(2+) converting InsP(3) receptor into two different states with different affinities for these ligands. Mn(2+) and Sr(2+) also inhibited [(3)H]InsP(3) binding but were respectively only 1/10 and 1/200 as effective as Ca(2+). No inhibition was observed with Ba(2+). This selectivity is the same as that previously reported for the inhibitory Ca(2+) site of InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) flux, suggesting that the same site is used by Ca(2+) to convert cerebellar InsP(3) receptor to a low-affinity state and to inhibit its channel activity. Our results also suggest a mechanism by which InsP(3) counteracts this Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition.

Abstract
A recombinant protein (Lbs-1) containing the N-terminal 581 amino acids of the mouse type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R-1), including the complete IP3-binding site, was expressed in the soluble fraction of E. coli. The characteristics of IP3 binding to this protein were similar as observed previously for the intact IP3R-1. Ca2+ dose-dependently inhibited IP3 binding to Lbs-1 with an IC50 of about 200 nM. This effect represented a decrease in the affinity of Lbs-1 for IP3, because the Kd increased from 115 +/- 15 nM in the absence to 196 +/- 18 nM in the presence of 5 microM Ca2+. The maximal effect of Ca2+ on Lbs-1 (5 microM Ca2+, 42.0 +/- 6.4% inhibition) was similar to the maximal inhibition observed for microsomes of insect Sf9 cells expressing full-length IP3R-1 (33.8 +/- 10.2%). Conceivably, the two contiguous Ca2+-binding sites (residues 304-450 of mouse IP3R-1) previously found by us (Sienaert, I., Missiaen, L., De Smedt, H., Parys, J.B., Sipma, H., and Casteels, R. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 25899-25906) mediate the effect of Ca2+ on IP3 binding to IP3R-1. Calmodulin also dose-dependently inhibited IP3 binding to Lbs-1 with an IC50 of about 3 microM. Maximal inhibition (10 microM calmodulin, 43.1 +/- 5.9%) was similar as observed for Sf9-IP3R-1 microsomes (35.8 +/- 8.7%). Inhibition by calmodulin occurred independently of Ca2+ and was additive to the inhibitory effect of 5 microM Ca2+ (together 74.5 +/- 5.1%). These results suggest that the N-terminal ligand-binding region of IP3R-1 contains a calmodulin-binding domain that binds calmodulin independently of Ca2+ and that mediates the inhibition of IP3 binding to IP3R-1.

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