Abstract
The endomembrane system consists of organellar membranes in the biosynthetic pathway [endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and secretory vesicles] as well as those in the degradative pathway (early endosomes, macropinosomes, phagosomes, autophagosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes). These endomembrane organelles/vesicles work together to synthesize, modify, package, transport, and degrade proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, regulating the balance between cellular anabolism and catabolism. Large ion concentration gradients exist across endomembranes: Ca2+ gradients for most endomembrane organelles and H+ gradients for the acidic compartments. Ion (Na+, K+, H+, Ca2+, and Cl-) channels on the organellar membranes control ion flux in response to cellular cues, allowing rapid informational exchange between the cytosol and organelle lumen. Recent advances in organelle proteomics, organellar electrophysiology, and luminal and juxtaorganellar ion imaging have led to molecular identification and functional characterization of about two dozen endomembrane ion channels. For example, whereas IP3R1-3 channels mediate Ca2+ release from the ER in response to neurotransmitter and hormone stimulation, TRPML1-3 and TMEM175 channels mediate lysosomal Ca2+ and H+ release, respectively, in response to nutritional and trafficking cues. This review aims to summarize the current understanding of these endomembrane channels, with a focus on their subcellular localizations, ion permeation properties, gating mechanisms, cell biological functions, and disease relevance.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) acts as a second messenger and constitutes a complex and large information exchange system between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria; this process is involved in various life activities, such as energy metabolism, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Increasing evidence has suggested that alterations in Ca2+ crosstalk between the ER and mitochondria, including alterations in ER and mitochondrial Ca2+ channels and related Ca2+ regulatory proteins, such as sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), and calnexin (CNX), are closely associated with the development of kidney disease. Therapies targeting intracellular Ca2+ signaling have emerged as an emerging field in the treatment of renal diseases. In this review, we focused on recent advances in Ca2+ signaling, ER and mitochondrial Ca2+ monitoring methods and Ca2+ homeostasis in the development of renal diseases and sought to identify new targets and insights for the treatment of renal diseases by targeting Ca2+ channels or related Ca2+ regulatory proteins.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are ubiquitously expressed large-conductance Ca2+-permeable channels predominantly localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes of virtually all eukaryotic cell types. IP3Rs work as Ca2+ signaling hubs through which diverse extracellular stimuli and intracellular inputs are processed and then integrated to result in delivery of Ca2+ from the ER lumen to generate cytosolic Ca2+ signals with precise temporal and spatial properties. IP3R-mediated Ca2+ signals control a vast repertoire of cellular functions ranging from gene transcription and secretion to the more enigmatic brain activities such as learning and memory. IP3Rs open and release Ca2+ when they bind both IP3 and Ca2+, the primary channel agonists. Despite overwhelming evidence supporting functional interplay between IP3 and Ca2+ in activation and inhibition of IP3Rs, the mechanistic understanding of how IP3R channels convey their gating through the interplay of two primary agonists remains one of the major puzzles in the field. The last decade has seen much progress in the use of cryogenic electron microscopy to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of ligand binding, ion permeation, ion selectivity and gating of the IP3R channels. The results of these studies, summarized in this review, provide a prospective view of what the future holds in structural and functional research of IP3Rs.

PFI-3 induces vasorelaxation with potency to reduce extracellular calcium influx in rat mesenteric artery. PeerJ 2023; 11:e15407. [PMID: 37250720 PMCID: PMC10225122 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background PFI-3 is a small-molecule inhibitor that targets the bromodomains (BRDs) of Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1). This monomeric compound, which has high selectivity and potent cellular effects, has recently been developed. Although PFI-3 has been reported as a potential therapeutic agent targeting thrombomodulin, its role in the regulation of vascular function remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of PFI-3 on arterial vessel tone. Methods A microvascular tension measurement device (DMT) was utilized to identify alterations in vascular tension within the mesenteric artery. To detect variations in cytosolic [Ca2+]i, a Fluo-3/AM fluorescent probe and fluorescence microscope were employed. Additionally, whole-cell patch clamp techniques were utilized to evaluate the activity of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) in cultured arterial smooth muscle cells (A10 cells). Results PFI-3 exerted a dose-dependent relaxation effect on rat mesenteric arteries with both intact and denuded endothelium after phenylephrine (PE)- and high-K+-induced constriction. PFI-3-induced vasorelaxation was not affected by the presence of L-NAME/ODQ or K+ channel blockers (Gli/TEA). PFI-3 abolished Ca2+-induced contraction on endothelium-denuded mesenteric arteries preincubated by PE in Ca2+-free solution. Incubation with TG had no impact on PFI-3-induced vasorelaxation pre-contracted by PE. PFI-3 reduced Ca2+-induced contraction on endothelium-denuded mesenteric arteries pre-incubated by KCl (60 mM) in Ca2+-free solution. PFI-3 declined extracellular calcium influx in A10 cells detected by Fluo-3/AM fluorescent probe and fluorescence microscope. Furthermore, we observed that PFI-3 decreased the current densities of L-type VDCC by whole-cell patch clamp techniques. Conclusions PFI-3 blunted PE and high K+-induced vasoconstriction independent of endothelium on rat mesenteric artery. The vasodilatory effect of PFI-3 may be attributed to its inhibition of VDCCs and receptor-operated calcium channels (ROCCs) on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Abstract
Polycystin-2 (TRPP2, PKD2, PC2) is the product of the PKD2 gene, whose mutations cause Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). PC2 belongs to the superfamily of TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) proteins that generally function as Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels implicated in Ca2+ signaling. PC2 localizes to various cell domains with distinct functions that likely depend on interactions with specific channel partners. Functions include receptor-operated, nonselective cation channel activity in the plasma membrane, intracellular Ca2+ release channel activity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and mechanosensitive channel activity in the primary cilium of renal epithelial cells. Here we summarize our current understanding of the properties of PC2 and how other transmembrane and cytosolic proteins modulate this activity, providing functional diversity and selective regulatory mechanisms to its role in the control of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
Trans-4-methoxy-β-nitrostyrene (T4MN) induced more potent vasorelaxant effects in resistance arteries from hypertensive rats than its parent drug, β-nitrostyrene 1-nitro-2-phenylethene (NPe). To better understand the influence of insertion of the electron-releasing methoxy group in the aromatic ring of NPe, we investigated vasorelaxant effects of T4MN in isolated pulmonary artery and compared them with those of NPe in view of the potential interest of T4MN in pulmonary arterial hypertension. T4MN and NPe both caused concentration-dependent vasorelaxation in pulmonary artery rings pre-contracted with either phenylephrine (1 µmol/L) or KCl (60 mmol/L), an effect unaffected by endothelium removal. In endothelium-intact preparations pre-contracted with phenylephrine, the vasorelaxant effect of T4MN was more potent than that of NPe. However, unlike NPe, this effect was significantly reduced following pretreatment with 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) (10 µmol/L, a guanylate cyclase inhibitor) or tetraethylammonium (5 mmol/L, a potassium channel blocker). T4MN abolished the CaCl2 -induced contractions in pulmonary artery preparations stimulated with phenylephrine (PHE) under Ca2+ -free conditions in the presence of verapamil, to preferentially activate receptor-operated calcium channels. From these findings, we propose that T4MN evokes endothelium-independent vasorelaxant effects in isolated rat pulmonary artery, partially by inhibiting Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels, as well as by activating soluble guanylate cyclase and potassium channels. The present results suggest the therapeutic potential of T4MN in treating pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Inositol-1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor-1 and -3 and Ryanodine Receptor-3 May Increase Ooplasmic Ca<sup>2+</sup> During Quail Egg Activation. J Poult Sci 2021; 59:175-181.

Abstract
We previously reported that egg activation in Japanese quail is driven by two distinct types of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i): transient elevations in [Ca2+]i induced by phospholipase Czeta 1 (PLCZ1) and long-lasting spiral-like Ca2+ oscillations by citrate synthase (CS) and aconitate hydratase 2 (ACO2). Although the blockade of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (ITPRs) before microinjections of PLCZ1, CS, and ACO2 cRNAs only prevented transient increases in [Ca2+]i, a microinjection of an agonist of ryanodine receptors (RYRs) induced spiral-like Ca2+ oscillations, indicating the involvement of both ITPRs and RYRs in these events. In this study, we investigated the isoforms of ITPRs and RYRs responsible for the expression of the two types of [Ca2+]i increases. RT-PCR and western blot analyses revealed that ITPR1, ITPR3, and RYR3 were expressed in ovulated eggs. These proteins were degraded 3 h after the microinjection of PLCZ1, CS, and ACO2 cRNAs, which is the time at which egg activation was complete. However, degradation of ITPR1 and ITPR3, but not RYR3, was initiated 30 min after a single injection of PLCZ1 cRNA, corresponding to the time of the initial Ca2+ wave termination. In contrast, RYR3 degradation was observed 3 h after the microinjection of CS and ACO2 cRNAs. These results indicate that ITPRs and RYR3 differentially mediate in creases in [Ca2+]i during egg activation in Japanese quail, and that downregulation of ITPRs and RYR3-mediated events terminate the initial Ca2+ wave and spiral-like Ca2+ oscillations, respectively.

Abstract
This study was designed to assess bisphenol A (BPA)-induced vascular toxicity, the effectiveness of green tea extract and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) against BPA toxicity, and possible underlying mechanisms. In isolated rat aorta, contractile and relaxant responses as well as malondialdehyde levels were evaluated. Cell viability and effects on the protein levels of apoptotic (bax, bcl2, and caspase-3), autophagic (LC3), and cell adhesion molecules were calculated using the MTT method and western blotting in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). BPA increased aorta MDA levels (p < .0001) and decreased vascular responses to KCl [20 and 40 mM (p < .0001), 80 mM (p < .001)], phenylephrine [10-8 , 10-6 , and 10-5 M (p < .001), 10-7 and 10-4 M (p < .0001)], and acetylcholine [10-6 M (p < .01), 10-5 and 10-4 M (p < .0001)]. In HUVECs, BPA enhanced the levels of LC3A/B, bax/bcl2 ratio, cleaved caspase-3, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. Green tea extract, EGCG, and vitamin E co-treatment with BPA diminished the toxic effects of BPA. These findings provide evidence that green tea extract and EGCG possess beneficial effects in preventing BPA-induced vascular toxicity through increasing the antioxidant activities and the regulation of signaling pathways.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) is a huge tetrameric intracellular Ca2+ channel that mediates cytoplasmic Ca2+ signaling. The structural basis of the gating in IP3R has been studied by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, focusing on the domain rearrangements triggered by IP3 binding. Here, we conducted molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the three N-terminal domains of IP3R responsible for IP3 binding (IBC/SD; two domains of the IP3 binding core, IBCβ and IBCα, and suppressor domain, SD) as a model system to study the initial gating stage. The response upon removal of IP3 from the IP3-bound form of IBC/SD was traced in MD trajectories. The two IBC domains showed an immediate response of opening after removal of IP3, and SD showed a simultaneous opening motion indicating a tight dynamic coupling with IBC. However, when IBC remained in a more closed form, the dynamic coupling broke and SD exhibited a more amplified closing motion independently of IBC. This amplified SD motion was caused by the break of connection between SD and IBCβ at the hinge region, but was suppressed in the native tetrameric state. The analyses using Motion Tree and the linear response theory clarified that in the open form, SD and IBCα moved collectively relative to IBCβ with a response upon IP3 binding within the linear regime, whereas in the closed form, such collectiveness disappeared. These results suggest that the regulation of dynamics via the domain arrangement and multimerization is requisite for large-scale allosteric communication in IP3R gating machinery.

Abstract
Of the established Ca2+-mobilizing messengers, NAADP is arguably the most tantalizing. It is the most potent, often efficacious at low nanomolar concentrations, and its receptors undergo dramatic desensitization. Recent studies have identified a new class of calcium-release channel, the two-pore channels (TPCs), as the likely targets for NAADP regulation, even though the effect may be indirect. These channels localized at endolysosomes, where they mediate local Ca2+ release, and have highlighted a new role of acidic organelles as targets for messenger-evoked Ca2+ mobilization. Three distinct roles of TPCs have been identified. The first is to effect local Ca2+ release that may play a role in endolysosomal function including vesicular fusion and trafficking. The second is to trigger global calcium release by recruiting Ca2+-induced Ca2+-release (CICR) channels at lysosomal-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) junctions. The third is to regulate plasma membrane excitability by the targeting of Ca2+ release from appropriately positioned subplasma membrane stores to regulate plasma membrane Ca2+-activated channels. In this review, I discuss the role of nicotinic acid adenine nucleotide diphosphate (NAADP)-mediated Ca2+ release from endolysosomal stores as a widespread trigger for intracellular calcium signaling mechanisms, and how studies of TPCs are beginning to enhance our understanding of the central role of lysosomes in Ca2+ signaling.

Mechanisms underlying the vasorelaxant effect of trans-4-methoxy-β-nitrostyrene in the rat mesenteric resistance arteries. Eur J Pharmacol 2019; 853:201-209.

Abstract
Trimebutine maleate (TMB), a widely prescribed drug for functional gastrointestinal disorders, has been reported to regulate smooth muscle contractility by modulating multiple ion channel activities in the gastrointestinal tract. However, its action on isolated aorta has not yet been reported. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro vasorelaxant properties and the underlying pharmacological mechanisms of TMB in isolated rat thoracic aortic rings. Vascular activity experiments were performed on thoracic aorta isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats in vitro, including endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings. TMB (10-10 -10-5 mol/L) induced relaxation in endothelium-intact aortic rings precontracted by phenylephrine with a potency similar to that of carbachol. TMB-induced relaxation was not altered by glibenclamide and atropine in endothelium-intact aortic rings. However, L-NAME and endothelium denudation significantly reduced but not completely reversed the vasorelaxant effect of TMB. Also, TMB-induced relaxation wasn't affected by diclofenac in endothelium-intact aortic rings. TMB at 10-5 mol/L significantly reduced the CaCl2 -induced contractions in endothelium-intact aortic rings stimulated with KCl, but not stimulated with phenylephrine under Ca2+ free conditions. Moreover, TMB at 10-5 mol/L effectively attenuated Bay-K8644-induced contractions in aortic rings. These results suggest that TMB-induced relaxation was mediated by both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent manner in isolated rat thoracic aorta. The mechanism of TMB-induced relaxation at low concentrations is partially related to NO- and endothelium-dependent but unrelated to prostanoids formation. However, inhibition of Ca2+ influx through voltage-operated calcium channels and L-type Ca2+ channel blocking effect appears to be involved in the mechanism of vasorelaxant effect of TMB at high concentrations.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are widely expressed intracellular channels that release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We review how studies of IP3Rs removed from their intracellular environment (‘ex cellula’), alongside similar analyses of ryanodine receptors, have contributed to understanding IP3R behaviour. Analyses of permeabilized cells have demonstrated that the ER is the major intracellular Ca2+ store, and that IP3 stimulates Ca2+ release from this store. Radioligand binding confirmed that the 4,5-phosphates of IP3 are essential for activating IP3Rs, and facilitated IP3R purification and cloning, which paved the way for structural analyses. Reconstitution of IP3Rs into lipid bilayers and patch-clamp recording from the nuclear envelope have established that IP3Rs have a large conductance and select weakly between Ca2+ and other cations. Structural analyses are now revealing how IP3 binding to the N-terminus of the tetrameric IP3R opens the pore ∼7 nm away from the IP3-binding core (IBC). Communication between the IBC and pore passes through a nexus of interleaved domains contributed by structures associated with the pore and cytosolic domains, which together contribute to a Ca2+-binding site. These structural analyses provide evidence to support the suggestion that IP3 gates IP3Rs by first stimulating Ca2+ binding, which leads to pore opening and Ca2+ release.

Abstract
Inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are ubiquitous Ca2+-permeable channels that mediate release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum to regulate numerous processes including cell division, cell death, differentiation and fertilization. IP3R is activated by both IP3 and its permeant ion Ca2+. At high concentrations, however, Ca2+ inhibits activity ensuring precise spatiotemporal control over intracellular Ca2+. Despite extensive characterization of IP3R, the mechanisms by which these molecules control channel gating have remained elusive. Here, we present structures of full-length human type 3 IP3R in ligand-bound and ligand-free states. Multiple IP3-bound structures demonstrate that the large cytoplasmic domain provides a platform for propagation of long-range conformational changes to the ion conduction gate. Structures in the presence of Ca2+ reveal two Ca2+ binding sites that induce the disruption of numerous interactions between subunits, thereby inhibiting IP3R. These structures thus begin to provide a mechanistic basis for understanding the regulation of IP3R.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) plays an important role in the regulation of vascular function. Identifying the mechanisms of VSM contraction has been a major research goal in order to determine the causes of vascular dysfunction and exaggerated vasoconstriction in vascular disease. Major discoveries over several decades have helped to better understand the mechanisms of VSM contraction. Ca2+ has been established as a major regulator of VSM contraction, and its sources, cytosolic levels, homeostatic mechanisms and subcellular distribution have been defined. Biochemical studies have also suggested that stimulation of Gq protein-coupled membrane receptors activates phospholipase C and promotes the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids into inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). IP3 stimulates initial Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and is buttressed by Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent, receptor-operated, transient receptor potential and store-operated channels. In order to prevent large increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c), Ca2+ removal mechanisms promote Ca2+ extrusion via the plasmalemmal Ca2+ pump and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, and Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and the coordinated activities of these Ca2+ handling mechanisms help to create subplasmalemmal Ca2+ domains. Threshold increases in [Ca2+]c form a Ca2+-calmodulin complex, which activates myosin light chain (MLC) kinase, and causes MLC phosphorylation, actin-myosin interaction, and VSM contraction. Dissociations in the relationships between [Ca2+]c, MLC phosphorylation, and force have suggested additional Ca2+ sensitization mechanisms. DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms, which directly or indirectly via mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylate the actin-binding proteins calponin and caldesmon and thereby enhance the myofilaments force sensitivity to Ca2+. PKC-mediated phosphorylation of PKC-potentiated phosphatase inhibitor protein-17 (CPI-17), and RhoA-mediated activation of Rho-kinase (ROCK) inhibit MLC phosphatase and in turn increase MLC phosphorylation and VSM contraction. Abnormalities in the Ca2+ handling mechanisms and PKC and ROCK activity have been associated with vascular dysfunction in multiple vascular disorders. Modulators of [Ca2+]c, PKC and ROCK activity could be useful in mitigating the increased vasoconstriction associated with vascular disease.

Abstract
2-Nitro-1-phenyl-1-propanol (NPP) is a nitro alcohol that is known as an intermediate in the synthesis of sympathomimetic agents, such as norephedrine. The present study investigated the vasoactive effects of NPP on rat aorta. In endothelium-intact aortic rings, NPP fully relaxed contractions that were induced by phenylephrine, KCl, and U-46619. The relaxant effects of NPP on phenylephrine-elicited contractions remained unaffected by NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), indomethacin, propranolol, tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine, and glibenclamide. Conversely, pretreatment with 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), cis-N-(2-phenylcyclopentyl)-azacyclotridec-1-en-2-amine hydrochloride (MDL-12,330A), and N-[2-(P-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide dihydrochloride (H-89) reduced the ability of NPP to relax contractions that were elicited by phenylephrine. NPP inhibited the vasoconstrictor response that was induced by Ca2+ in aortic rings that were stimulated by pharmacomechanical or electromechanical coupling with phenylephrine and 60 mmol/L KCl, respectively, and after the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. Such effects of NPP were significantly reversed by pretreatment with the guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ and weakly influenced by the adenylyl cyclase inhibitor MDL-12,330A. In Ca2+ -free medium, NPP inhibited transient contractions that were induced by phenylephrine but not caffeine. In homogenates of aortic rings, NPP increased cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) and cyclic adenosine 3'-5'-monophosphate levels, but this effect was statistically significant only for cGMP. In conclusion, in contrast to the vasoconstrictor amine norephedrine, NPP is a vasodilator in rat aorta, and its relaxant effects are likely attributable to cGMP production.

Abstract
2-Nitro-1-phenyl-1-propanol (NPP) is a nitro alcohol with vasodilator activity in the rat aorta. The present study investigated the vasodilator properties of NPP in small vessels of the mesenteric bed, which, contrary to the aorta, contains resistance vessels. Using myography, isometric contractions were recorded in rings of second- and third-order branches from the rat mesenteric artery. NPP relaxed mesenteric ring preparations that were contracted with phenylephrine, U-46619, and KCl (40mM), resulting in significantly different EC50 values (0.41μM [0.31-0.55μM], 0.16μM [0.10-0.24μM], and 4.50μM [1.86-10.81μM], respectively). NPP-induced vasodilation decreased as the extracellular K+ concentration increased. The pharmacological blockade of K+ channels with tetraethylammonium, BaCl2, CsCl, and apamin also blunted NPP-induced vasorelaxation. In contrast, NPP-induced vasodilation was resistant to indomethacin, L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and endothelium removal, indicating that neither prostaglandins nor the endothelial release of nitric oxide is involved in the relaxant effects of NPP. Conversely, 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), cis-N-(2-phenylcyclopentyl)-azacyclotridec-1-en-2-amine hydrochloride (MDL-12,330A), and H-89 reduced NPP-induced vasodilation. Under Ca2+-free conditions, NPP did not alter transient contractions that were evoked by caffeine, but it reduced transient contractions that were evoked by phenylephrine. In mesenteric rings that were loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Fluo-4 AM and stimulated with phenylephrine, NPP blunted both contractions and fluorescence signals that were related to cytosolic Ca2+ levels. In conclusion, the vasodilatory actions NPP on mesenteric vessel resistance involved the participation of cyclic nucleotides and the opening of K+ channels.

Abstract
As an intracellular Ca(2+) release channel at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, the ubiquitous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor (InsP3R) plays a crucial role in the generation, propagation and regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) signals that regulate numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes. This review provides a concise account of the fundamental single-channel properties of the InsP3R channel: its conductance properties and its regulation by InsP3 and Ca(2+), its physiological ligands, studied using nuclear patch clamp electrophysiology.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) type 2 (IP3R2) is an intracellular Ca²⁺-release channel located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). IP3R2 is characterized by a high sensitivity to both IP3 and ATP and is biphasically regulated by Ca²⁺. Furthermore, IP3R2 is modulated by various protein kinases. In addition to its regulation by protein kinase A, IP3R2 forms a complex with adenylate cyclase 6 and is directly regulated by cAMP. Finally, in the ER, IP3R2 is less mobile than the other IP3R isoforms, while its functional properties appear dominant in heterotetramers. These properties make the IP3R2 a Ca²⁺ channel with exquisite properties for setting up intracellular Ca²⁺ signals with unique characteristics. IP3R2 plays a crucial role in the function of secretory cell types (e.g. pancreatic acinar cells, hepatocytes, salivary gland, eccrine sweat gland). In cardiac myocytes, the role of IP3R2 appears more complex, because, together with IP3R1, it is needed for normal cardiogenesis, while its aberrant activity is implicated in cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmias. Most importantly, its high sensitivity to IP3 makes IP3R2 a target for anti-apoptotic proteins (e.g. Bcl-2) in B-cell cancers. Disrupting IP3R/Bcl-2 interaction therefore leads in those cells to increased Ca²⁺ release and apoptosis. Intriguingly, IP3R2 is not only implicated in apoptosis but also in the induction of senescence, another tumour-suppressive mechanism. These results were the first to unravel the physiological and pathophysiological role of IP3R2 and we anticipate that further progress will soon be made in understanding the function of IP3R2 in various tissues and organs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vardenafil was reported to relax rat pulmonary artery through endothelium-dependent mechanisms. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate other related mechanisms for this effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS Endothelium-intact and denuded artery rings were suspended in order to record isometric tension. In the rings with or without endothelium, the concentration-response curves for vardenafil were generated. In the rings without endothelium the contractile response induced by phenylephrine (Phe) or KCl was assessed in the presence or absence of vardenafil. In the last set of experiments, pulmonary artery rings were exposed to calcium-free isotonic depolarizing solution and the contractile response induced by the addition of calcium was evaluated in the presence or absence of vardenafil, nifedipine, verapamil or 1H-[1,2,4] oxadiazolo[4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ). RESULTS Vardenafil attenuated pulmonary artery contraction induced by phenylephrine in the presence and absence of endothelium. In addition, vardenafil attenuated both Phe or KCl-induced contraction but, it's effect on the KCl dose-response curve was more significant. Vardenafil also inhibited the contractile response induced by calcium in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of nifedipine or verapamil did not significantly alter this effect while ODQ incubation significantly inhibited vardenafil-induced relaxation. CONCLUSION From these findings, it was proposed that vardenafil relaxed rat pulmonary artery through inhibiting calcium influx.

Abstract
The ability of cells to maintain low levels of Ca(2+) under resting conditions and to create rapid and transient increases in Ca(2+) upon stimulation is a fundamental property of cellular Ca(2+) signaling mechanism. An increase of cytosolic Ca(2+) level in response to diverse stimuli is largely accounted for by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) present in the endoplasmic reticulum membranes of virtually all eukaryotic cells. Extensive information is currently available on the function of IP3Rs and their interaction with modulators. Very little, however, is known about their molecular architecture and therefore most critical issues surrounding gating of IP3R channels are still ambiguous, including the central question of how opening of the IP3R pore is initiated by IP3 and Ca(2+). Membrane proteins such as IP3R channels have proven to be exceptionally difficult targets for structural analysis due to their large size, their location in the membrane environment, and their dynamic nature. To date, a 3D structure of complete IP3R channel is determined by single-particle cryo-EM at intermediate resolution, and the best crystal structures of IP3R are limited to a soluble portion of the cytoplasmic region representing ∼15% of the entire channel protein. Together these efforts provide the important structural information for this class of ion channels and serve as the basis for further studies aiming at understanding of the IP3R function.

Abstract
Reconstitution of ion channels into planar lipid bilayers (also called black lipid membranes or BLM) is the most widely used method to conduct physiological studies of intracellular ion channels, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca(2+)) channels. The two main types of Ca(2+) release channels in the ER membrane are ryanodine receptors (RyanRs) and inositol(1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs). Use of the BLM reconstitution technique enabled the initial description of the functional properties of InsP3R and RyanR at the single-channel level more than 20 years ago. Since then, BLM reconstitution methods have been used to study physiological modulation and to perform structure-function analysis of these channels, and to study pathological changes in the function of InsP3R and RyanR in various disease states. The BLM technique has also been useful for studies of other intracellular Ca(2+) channels, such as ER Ca(2+) leak presenilin channels and NAADP-gated lysosomal Ca(2+) channels encoded by TPC2. In this article, basic protocols used for BLM studies of ER Ca(2+) channels are introduced.

Abstract
Few tools are available to determine the structure of large integral membrane proteins such as intracellular Ca(2+) release channels, RyRs and IP3Rs. Single particle cryo-EM can readily determine the structure of such channels to intermediate resolution, and can be used to quantitatively assess conformational variability. However, due to the, often low, image contrast of these cryospecimens, methods for validation are critical to insure the accuracy of such structures, and to put limits on their interpretability. The low-resolution structure of RyR has been well established for some time, but high-resolution has been slow to emerge. The structure of IP3R channel by cryo-EM had a number of false-starts, but improved validation methods have recently lead to a demonstrably accurate reconstruction.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is a ubiquitous intracellular calcium (Ca2+) channel which has a major role in controlling Ca2+ levels in neurons. A variety of computational models have been developed to describe the kinetic function of IP3R under different conditions. In the field of computational neuroscience, it is of great interest to apply the existing models of IP3R when modeling local Ca2+ transients in dendrites or overall Ca2+ dynamics in large neuronal models. The goal of this study was to evaluate existing IP3R models, based on electrophysiological data. This was done in order to be able to suggest suitable models for neuronal modeling. Altogether four models (Othmer and Tang, 1993; Dawson etal., 2003; Fraiman and Dawson, 2004; Doi etal., 2005) were selected for a more detailed comparison. The selection was based on the computational efficiency of the models and the type of experimental data that was used in developing the model. The kinetics of all four models were simulated by stochastic means, using the simulation software STEPS, which implements the Gillespie stochastic simulation algorithm. The results show major differences in the statistical properties of model functionality. Of the four compared models, the one by Fraiman and Dawson (2004) proved most satisfactory in producing the specific features of experimental findings reported in literature. To our knowledge, the present study is the first detailed evaluation of IP3R models using stochastic simulation methods, thus providing an important setting for constructing a new, realistic model of IP3R channel kinetics for compartmental modeling of neuronal functions. We conclude that the kinetics of IP3R with different concentrations of Ca2+ and IP3 should be more carefully addressed when new models for IP3R are developed.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) are a family of tetrameric intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channels that are located on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane of virtually all mammalian cell types, including smooth muscle cells (SMC). Here, we have reviewed literature investigating IP(3)R expression, cellular localization, tissue distribution, activity regulation, communication with ion channels and organelles, generation of Ca(2+) signals, modulation of physiological functions, and alterations in pathologies in SMCs. Three IP(3)R isoforms have been identified, with relative expression and cellular localization of each contributing to signaling differences in diverse SMC types. Several endogenous ligands, kinases, proteins, and other modulators control SMC IP(3)R channel activity. SMC IP(3)Rs communicate with nearby ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) channels and mitochondria to influence SR Ca(2+) release and reactive oxygen species generation. IP(3)R-mediated Ca(2+) release can stimulate plasma membrane-localized channels, including transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and store-operated Ca(2+) channels. SMC IP(3)Rs also signal to other proteins via SR Ca(2+) release-independent mechanisms through physical coupling to TRP channels and local communication with large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channels. IP(3)R-mediated Ca(2+) release generates a wide variety of intracellular Ca(2+) signals, which vary with respect to frequency, amplitude, spatial, and temporal properties. IP(3)R signaling controls multiple SMC functions, including contraction, gene expression, migration, and proliferation. IP(3)R expression and cellular signaling are altered in several SMC diseases, notably asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension. In summary, IP(3)R-mediated pathways control diverse SMC physiological functions, with pathological alterations in IP(3)R signaling contributing to disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND INFORMATION In endocrine cells, IP(3)R (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor), a ligand-gated Ca2+ channel, plays an important role in the control of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. There are three subtypes of IP(3)R that are distributed differentially among cell types. RINm5F cells express almost exclusively the IP(3)R-3 subtype. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of PKA (protein kinase A) on the activity of IP(3)R-3 in RINm5F cells. RESULTS We show that immunoprecipitated IP(3)R-3 is a good substrate for PKA. Using a back-phosphorylation approach, we show that endogenous PKA phosphorylates IP(3)R-3 in intact RINm5F cells. [(3)H]IP(3) (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) binding affinity and IP(3)-induced Ca2+ release activity were enhanced in permeabilized cells that were pre-treated with forskolin or PKA. The PKA-induced enhancement of IP(3)R-3 activity was also observed in intact RINm5F cells stimulated with carbachol and epidermal growth factor, two agonists that use different receptor types to activate phospholipase C. CONCLUSION The results of the present study reveal a converging step where the cAMP and the Ca2+ signalling systems act co-operatively in endocrine cell responses to external stimuli.

Abstract
Secretagogue-stimulated intracellular Ca(2+) signals are fundamentally important for initiating the secretion of the fluid and ion component of saliva from parotid acinar cells. The Ca(2+) signals have characteristic spatial and temporal characteristics, which are defined by the specific properties of Ca(2+) release mediated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R). In this study we have investigated the role of adenine nucleotides in modulating Ca(2+) release in mouse parotid acinar cells. In permeabilized cells, the Ca(2+) release rate induced by submaximal [InsP(3)] was increased by 5 mM ATP. Enhanced Ca(2+) release was not observed at saturating [InsP(3)]. The EC(50) for the augmented Ca(2+) release was ∼8 μM ATP. The effect was mimicked by nonhydrolysable ATP analogs. ADP and AMP also potentiated Ca(2+) release but were less potent than ATP. In acini isolated from InsP(3)R-2-null transgenic animals, the rate of Ca(2+) release was decreased under all conditions but now enhanced by ATP at all [InsP(3)]. In addition the EC(50) for ATP potentiation increased to ∼500 μM. These characteristics are consistent with the properties of the InsP(3)R-2 dominating the overall features of InsP(3)R-induced Ca(2+) release despite the expression of all isoforms. Finally, Ca(2+) signals were measured in intact parotid lobules by multiphoton microscopy. Consistent with the release data, carbachol-stimulated Ca(2+) signals were reduced in lobules exposed to experimental hypoxia compared with control lobules only at submaximal concentrations. Adenine nucleotide modulation of InsP(3)R in parotid acinar cells likely contributes to the properties of Ca(2+) signals in physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Activation of cells by many extracellular agonists leads to the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP₃). IP₃ is a global messenger that easily diffuses in the cytosol. Its receptor (IP₃R) is a Ca(2+)-release channel located on intracellular membranes, especially the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The IP₃R has an affinity for IP(3) in the low nanomolar range. A prime regulator of the IP₃R is the Ca(2+) ion itself. Cytosolic Ca(2+) is considered as a co-agonist of the IP₃R, as it strongly increases IP(3)R activity at concentrations up to about 300 nM. In contrast, at higher concentrations, cytosolic Ca(2+) inhibits the IP₃R. Also the luminal Ca(2+) sensitizes the IP₃R. In higher organisms three genes encode for an IP₃R and additional diversity exists as a result of alternative splicing mechanisms and the formation of homo- and heterotetramers. The various IP₃R isoforms have a similar structure and a similar function, but due to differences in their affinity for IP₃, their variable sensitivity to regulatory parameters, their differential interaction with associated proteins, and the variation in their subcellular localization, they participate differently in the formation of intracellular Ca(2+) signals and this affects therefore the physiological consequences of these signals.

Abstract
The monoterpene (-)-borneol is present in essential oils of several medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate (-)-borneol effects on rat thoracic aorta artery rings. The cumulative addition of (-)-borneol (10(-9) -3 × 10(-4) M) on a phenylephrine-induced pre-contraction (10(-6) M) promoted a vasorelaxant effect in a concentration-dependent manner and independent of vascular endothelium. A similar effect was obtained on KCl-induced pre-contractions (80 mM). (-)-Borneol (10(-5) -3 × 10(-4 ) M) inhibited contractions induced by cumulative addition of CaCl2 (10(-6) -3 × 10(-2) M) in depolarizing medium without Ca(2+) in a concentration-dependent manner. On S-(-) Bay K 8644-induced pre-contractions (10(-7) M), (-)-borneol did not induce significant changes compared with KCl-induced pre-contractions. In a Ca(2+) -free medium, (-)-borneol (10(-5) , 10(-4) or 10(-3) M) interfered in calcium mobilization from phenylephrine (10(-6) M)- or caffeine (20 mM)-sensitive intracellular stores. The involvement of K(+) channels was evaluated by tetraethylammonium (3 mM), 4-aminopyridine (1 mM) and glibenclamide (10(-5) M) pre-treatment, and (-)-borneol-induced vasorelaxation was markedly attenuated. Thus, this vasorelaxant effect can probably be attributed to calcium influx blockade through voltage-operated calcium channels (CaV L), calcium mobilization from intracellular stores and potassium channels activation.

Abstract
Of the established Ca(2+) mobilizing messengers, NAADP is arguably the most tantalizing. It is the most potent, often efficacious at low nanomolar concentrations. Recent studies have identified a new class of calcium release channel, the two-pore channels (TPCs), as the likely targets for NAADP. These channels are endolysosomal in localization where they mediate local Ca(2+) release, and have highlighted a new role of acidic organelles as targets for messenger-evoked Ca(2+) mobilization. Three distinct roles of TPCs have been identified. The first is to effect local Ca(2+) release that may play a role in endolysosomal function including vesicular fusion and trafficking. The second is to trigger global calcium release by recruiting Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) channels at lysosomal-ER junctions. The third is to regulate plasma membrane excitability by the targeting of Ca(2+) release from appropriately positioned subplasma membrane stores to regulate plasma membrane Ca(2+)-activated channels. In this review, I discuss the role of NAADP-mediated Ca(2+) release from endolysosomal stores as a widespread trigger for intracellular calcium signaling mechanisms, and how studies of TPCs are beginning to enhance our understanding of the central role of lysosomes in Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a molecule capable of initiating the release of intracellular Ca(2+) required for many essential cellular processes. Recent evidence links two-pore channels (TPCs) with NAADP-induced release of Ca(2+) from lysosome-like acidic organelles; however, there has been no direct demonstration that TPCs can act as NAADP-sensitive Ca(2+) release channels. Controversial evidence also proposes ryanodine receptors as the primary target of NAADP. We show that TPC2, the major lysosomal targeted isoform, is a cation channel with selectivity for Ca(2+) that will enable it to act as a Ca(2+) release channel in the cellular environment. NAADP opens TPC2 channels in a concentration-dependent manner, binding to high affinity activation and low affinity inhibition sites. At the core of this process is the luminal environment of the channel. The sensitivity of TPC2 to NAADP is steeply dependent on the luminal [Ca(2+)] allowing extremely low levels of NAADP to open the channel. In parallel, luminal pH controls NAADP affinity for TPC2 by switching from reversible activation of TPC2 at low pH to irreversible activation at neutral pH. Further evidence earmarking TPCs as the likely pathway for NAADP-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release is obtained from the use of Ned-19, the selective blocker of cellular NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release. Ned-19 antagonizes NAADP-activation of TPC2 in a non-competitive manner at 1 μM but potentiates NAADP activation at nanomolar concentrations. This single-channel study provides a long awaited molecular basis for the peculiar mechanistic features of NAADP signaling and a framework for understanding how NAADP can mediate key physiological events.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) and their relatives, ryanodine receptors, are the channels that most often mediate Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores. Their regulation by Ca(2+) allows them also to propagate cytosolic Ca(2+) signals regeneratively. This brief review addresses the structural basis of IP(3)R activation by IP(3) and Ca(2+). IP(3) initiates IP(3)R activation by promoting Ca(2+) binding to a stimulatory Ca(2+)-binding site, the identity of which is unresolved. We suggest that interactions of critical phosphate groups in IP(3) with opposite sides of the clam-like IP(3)-binding core cause it to close and propagate a conformational change toward the pore via the adjacent N-terminal suppressor domain. The pore, assembled from the last pair of transmembrane domains and the intervening pore loop from each of the four IP(3)R subunits, forms a structure in which a luminal selectivity filter and a gate at the cytosolic end of the pore control cation fluxes through the IP(3)R.

Abstract
Optical single-channel recording is a novel tool for the study of individual Ca2+-permeable channels within intact cells under minimally perturbed physiological conditions. As applied to the functioning and spatial organization of IP3Rs, this approach complements our existing knowledge, which derives largely from reduced systems - such as reconstitution into lipid bilayers and patch clamping of IP3Rs on the membrane of excised nuclei - where the spatial arrangement and interactions among IP3Rs via CICR are disrupted. The ability to image the activity of single IP3R channels with millisecond resolution together with localization of their positions with a precision of a few tens of nanometers both raises several intriguing questions and holds promise of answers. In particular, what mechanism underlies the anchoring of puffs and blips to static locations; why do these Ca2+ release events appear to involve only a very small fraction of the IP3Rs within a cell; and how can we reconcile the relative immotility of functional IP3Rs with numerous studies reporting free diffusion of IP3R protein in the ER membrane?

Abstract
Great insight has been gained into the structure and function of the inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) by studies employing mutagenesis of the cDNA encoding the receptor. Notably, early studies using this approach defined the key constituents required for InsP(3) binding in the N-terminus and the membrane spanning regions in the C-terminal domain responsible for channel formation, targeting and function. In this article we evaluate recent studies which have used a similar approach to investigate key residues underlying the in vivo modulation by select regulatory factors. In addition, we review studies defining the structural requirements in the channel domain which comprise the conduction pathway and are suggested to be involved in the gating of the channel.

Abstract
The versatility of Ca(2+) as an intracellular messenger derives largely from the spatial organization of cytosolic Ca(2+) signals, most of which are generated by regulated openings of Ca(2+)-permeable channels. Most Ca(2+) channels are expressed in the plasma membrane (PM). Others, including the almost ubiquitous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)R) and their relatives, the ryanodine receptors (RyR), are predominantly expressed in membranes of the sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Targeting of these channels to appropriate destinations underpins their ability to generate spatially organized Ca(2+) signals. All Ca(2+) channels begin life in the cytosol, and the vast majority are then functionally assembled in the ER, where they may either remain or be dispatched to other membranes. Here, by means of selective examples, we review two issues related to this trafficking of Ca(2+) channels via the ER. How do cells avoid wayward activity of Ca(2+) channels in transit as they pass from the ER via other membranes to their final destination? How and why do some cells express small numbers of the archetypal intracellular Ca(2+) channels, IP(3)R and RyR, in the PM?

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sodium aescinate (SA) is used as a vasoactive drug in clinical treatment. This study was designed to investigate the effects of SA on rat isolated thoracic aorta and the possible mechanisms. METHODS Isometric tension was recorded in response to drugs in organ bath. RESULTS The effects of SA obeyed an all-or-nothing response. SA in relatively low dose (> or = 50 microg/ml) had an endothelium-independent contractile effect in rat aorta (P<0.01), which depended on extracellular Ca(2+) influx via L-type Ca(2+) channel (P<0.05). SA in relatively high dose (> or = 100 microg/ml) also induced vasoconstriction in Ca(2+)-free medium (P<0.01), which was independent of the activity of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R), ryanodine receptor (RYR), and protein kinase C (PKC). SA in relatively high dose (> or = 100 microg/ml) dilated both endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings precontracted by phenylephrine (PE) or KCl (each P<0.01). SA inhibited extracellular Ca(2+) influx induced by PE or KCl (each P<0.01) and had no activation effect on K(+) channels on vascular smooth muscle. The relaxant effect of SA partly depended on the activity of NO synthase but not on the activity of cyclooxygenase. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, this study indicated that SA had dual effects on vascular tension in rat isolated thoracic aorta.

Abstract
Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are intracellular Ca2+ channels that are regulated by IP3 and Ca2+ and are modulated by many additional signals. These properties allow them to initiate and, via Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, regeneratively propagate Ca2+ signals evoked by receptors that stimulate formation of IP3. The ubiquitous expression of IP3R highlights their importance, but it also presents problems when attempting to resolve the behavior of defined IP3R. DT40 cells are a pre-B-lymphocyte cell line in which high rates of homologous recombination afford unrivalled opportunities to disrupt endogenous genes. DT40-knockout cells with both alleles of each of the three IP3R genes disrupted provide the only null-background for analysis of homogenous recombinant IP3R. We review the properties of DT40 cells and consider three areas where they have contributed to understanding IP3R behavior. Patch-clamp recording from the nuclear envelope and Ca2+ release from intracellular stores loaded with a low-affinity Ca2+ indicator address the mechanisms leading to activation of IP(3)R. We show that IP3 causes intracellular IP3R to cluster and re-tune their responses to IP3 and Ca2+, better equipping them to mediate regenerative Ca2+ signals. Finally, we show that DT40 cells reliably count very few IP3R into the plasma membrane, where they mediate about half the Ca2+ entry evoked by the B-cell antigen receptor.

Abstract
The inositol trisphosphate receptor (IPR) plays an important role in controlling the dynamics of intracellular Ca(2+). Single-channel patch-clamp recordings are a typical way to study these receptors as well as other ion channels. Methods for analyzing and using this type of data have been developed to fit Markov models of the receptor. The usual method of parameter fitting is based on maximum-likelihood techniques. However, Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques are becoming more popular. We describe the application of the Bayesian methods to real experimental single-channel data in three ion channels: the ryanodine receptor, the K(+) channel, and the IPR. One of the main aims of all three studies was that of model selection with different approaches taken. We also discuss the modeling implications for single-channel data that display different levels of channel activity within one recording.

Abstract
In many cell types, the inositol trisphosphate receptor is one of the important components controlling intracellular calcium dynamics, and an understanding of this receptor is necessary for an understanding of calcium oscillations and waves. Based on single-channel data from the type-I inositol trisphosphate receptor, and using a Markov chain Monte Carlo approach, we show that the most complex time-dependent model that can be unambiguously determined from steady-state data is one with three closed states and one open state, and we determine how the rate constants depend on calcium. Because the transitions between these states are complex functions of calcium concentration, each model state must correspond to a group of physical states. We fit two different topologies and find that both models predict that the main effect of [Ca(2+)] is to modulate the probability that the receptor is in a state that is able to open, rather than to modulate the transition rate to the open state.
