Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) is a Ca2+-release channel mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Three IP3R isoforms are responsible for the generation of intracellular Ca2+ signals that may spread across the entire cell or occur locally in so-called microdomains. Because of their ubiquitous expression, these channels are involved in the regulation of a plethora of cellular processes, including cell survival and cell death. To exert their proper function a fine regulation of their activity is of paramount importance. In this review, we will highlight the recent advances in the structural analysis of the IP3R and try to link these data with the newest information concerning IP3R activation and regulation. A special focus of this review will be directed towards the regulation of the IP3R by protein-protein interaction. Especially the protein family formed by calmodulin and related Ca2+-binding proteins and the pro- and anti-apoptotic/autophagic Bcl-2-family members will be highlighted. Finally, recently identified and novel IP3R regulatory proteins will be discussed. A number of these interactions are involved in cancer development, illustrating the potential importance of modulating IP3R-mediated Ca2+ signaling in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Binding of IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) to the IP3-binding core (residues 224–604) of IP3Rs (IP3 receptors) initiates opening of these ubiquitous intracellular Ca2+ channels. The mechanisms are unresolved, but require conformational changes to pass through the suppressor domain (residues 1–223). A calmodulin-binding peptide derived from myosin light chain kinase uncouples these events. We identified a similar conserved 1-8-14 calmodulin-binding motif within the suppressor domain of IP3R1 and, using peptides and mutagenesis, we demonstrate that it is essential for IP3R activation, whether assessed by IP3-evoked Ca2+ release or patch-clamp recoding of nuclear IP3R. Mimetic peptides specifically inhibit activation of IP3R by uncoupling the IP3-binding core from the suppressor domain. Mutations of key hydrophobic residues within the endogenous 1-8-14 motif mimic the peptides. Our results show that an endogenous 1-8-14 motif mediates conformational changes that are essential for IP3R activation. The inhibitory effects of calmodulin and related proteins may result from disruption of this essential interaction.

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
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
The receptors for the second messenger InsP(3) comprise a family of closely related ion channels that release Ca(2+) from intracellular stores, most prominently the endoplasmic reticulum and its extension into the nuclear envelope. The precise sub-cellular localization of InsP(3)Rs and the spatial relationships among them are important for the initiation, spatial and temporal properties and propagation of local and global Ca(2+) signals, but the spatial organization of InsP(3)Rs in Ca(2+) stores is poorly characterized. Using nuclei isolated from insect Sf9 cells and freeze-dry rotary shadowing, we have addressed this by directly visualizing the cytoplasmic domain of InsP(3)R located on the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope. Identification of approximately 15 nm structures as the cytoplasmic domain of InsP(3)R was indirectly supported by a marked increase in their frequency after transient transfections with cDNAs for rat types 1 and 3 InsP(3)R, and directly confirmed by gold labeling either with heparin or a specific anti-InsP(3)R antibody. Over-expression of InsP(3)R did not result in the formation of arrays or clusters with channels touching each other. Gold-labeling suggests that the channel amino terminus resides near the center of the cytoplasmic tetrameric quaternary structure. The combination of nuclear isolation with freeze-drying and rotary shadow techniques allows direct visualization of InsP(3)Rs in native nuclear envelopes and can be used to determine their spatial distribution and density.

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
CaM (calmodulin) has been implicated in the regulation of IP3R [IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) receptors] and a recent report suggested that CaM tightly tethered to IP3R was essential for IP3R activation [Nadif Kasri, Torok, Galione, Garnham, Callewaert, Missiaen, Parys and De Smedt (2006) J. Biol. Chem. 281, 8332-8338]. In the present study, we confirm that a CaM-binding peptide derived from MLCK (myosin light chain kinase) inhibits IP3-evoked Ca2+ release via all three IP3R subtypes. However,inhibition by MLCK peptide is not mimicked by other CaM antagonists that effectively block regulation of IP3R by CaM. Inhibition by MLCK peptide is rapid, fully reversible and occurs under conditions where there is no CaM associated with IP3R. MLCK peptide stimulates IP3 binding to IP3R1 and to its bacterially expressed N-terminal, but not after removal of the suppressor domain (residues 1-224).We suggest that MLCK peptide mimics a sequence within the suppressor domain that is similar to a1-8-14 CaM-binding motif. The peptide may thereby unzip an interdomain interaction that is essential for IP3R activation. We conclude that CaM is not essential for IP3R activation, and that MLCK peptide is a selective antagonist of the IP3R that binds directly to the N-terminal to uncouple IP3 binding from channel gating. The results of the present study highlight the importance of the suppressor domain in IP3R activation and suggest that MLCK peptide may provide a route to novel non-competitive antagonists of IP3R.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs) are a family of Ca2+ release channels localized predominately in the endoplasmic reticulum of all cell types. They function to release Ca2+ into the cytoplasm in response to InsP3 produced by diverse stimuli, generating complex local and global Ca2+ signals that regulate numerous cell physiological processes ranging from gene transcription to secretion to learning and memory. The InsP3R is a calcium-selective cation channel whose gating is regulated not only by InsP3, but by other ligands as well, in particular cytoplasmic Ca2+. Over the last decade, detailed quantitative studies of InsP3R channel function and its regulation by ligands and interacting proteins have provided new insights into a remarkable richness of channel regulation and of the structural aspects that underlie signal transduction and permeation. Here, we focus on these developments and review and synthesize the literature regarding the structure and single-channel properties of the InsP3R.

Abstract
A family of Ca(2+)-binding proteins (CaBPs) was shown to bind to the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) Ca(2+) release channel and gate it in the absence of InsP(3), establishing them as protein ligands (Yang, J., McBride, S., Mak, D.-O. D., Vardi, N., Palczewski, K., Haeseleer, F., and Foskett, J. K. (2002) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 99, 7711-7716). However, the neuronally restricted expression of CaBP and its inhibition of InsP(3)R-mediated Ca(2+) signaling when overexpressed (Kasri, N. N., Holmes, A. M., Bultynck, G., Parys, J. B., Bootman, M. D., Rietdorf, K., Missiaen, L., McDonald, F., De Smedt, H., Conway, S. J., Holmes, A. B., Berridge, M. J., and Roderick, H. L. (2004) EMBO J. 23, 312-321; Haynes, L. P., Tepikin, A. V., and Burgoyne, R. D. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 547-555) have raised questions regarding the functional implications of this regulation. We have discovered the Ca(2+)-binding protein CIB1 (calmyrin) as a ubiquitously expressed ligand of the InsP(3)R. CIB1 binds to all mammalian InsP(3)R isoforms in a Ca(2+)-sensitive manner dependent on its two functional EF-hands and activates InsP(3)R channel gating in the absence of InsP(3). In contrast, overexpression of CIB1 or CaBP1 attenuated InsP(3)R-dependent Ca(2+) signaling, and in vitro pre-exposure to CIB1 reduced the number of channels available for subsequent stimulation by InsP(3). These results establish CIB1 as a ubiquitously expressed activating and inhibiting protein ligand of the InsP(3)R.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor (IP(3)R) acts as a ligand-gated channel that mediates neuronal signals by releasing Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum. The three-dimensional (3D) structure of tetrameric IP(3)R has been demonstrated by using electron microscopy (EM) with static specimens; however, the dynamic aspects of the IP(3)R structure have never been visualized in a native environment. Here we attempt to measure the surface topography of IP(3)R in solution using atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM revealed large protrusions extending approximately 4.3 nm above a flat membrane prepared from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells overexpressing mouse type 1 IP(3)R (Sf9-IP(3)R1). The average diameter of the large protrusions was approximately 32 nm. A specific antibody against a cytosolic epitope close to the IP(3)-binding site enabled us to gold-label the Sf9-IP(3)R1 membrane as confirmed by EM. AFM images of the gold-labeled membrane revealed 7.7-nm high protrusions with a diameter of approximately 30 nm, which should be IP(3)R1-antibody complexes. Authentic IP(3)R1 immuno-purified from mouse cerebella had approximately the same dimensions as those of the IP(3)R-like protrusions on the membrane. Altogether, these results suggest that the large protrusions on the Sf9-IP(3)R1 membrane correspond to the cytosolic domain of IP(3)R1. Our study provides the first 3D representation of individual IP(3)R1 particles in an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Ca2+ exerts both a stimulatory and inhibitory effect on type-I IP3R channel activity. However, the structural determinants of Ca2+ sensing in IP3Rs are not fully understood. Previous studies by others have identified eight domains of the type-I IP3R that bind 45Ca2+ when expressed as GST-fusion proteins. We have mutated six highly conserved acidic residues within the second of these domains (aa378-450) in the full-length IP3R and measured the Ca2+ regulation of IP3-mediated Ca2+ release in COS-7 cells. 45Ca2+ flux assays measured with a maximal [IP3] (1 microM) indicate that one of the mutants retained a Ca2+ sensitivity that was not significantly different from control (E411Q), three of the mutants show an enhanced Ca2+ inhibition (D426N, E428Q and E439Q) and two of the mutants were relatively insensitive to Ca2+ inhibition (D442N and D444N). IP3 dose-response relationships indicated that the sensitivity to Ca2+ inhibition and affinity for IP3 were correlated for three of the constructs. Other mutants with enhanced IP3 sensitivity (e.g. R441Q and a type-II/I IP3R chimera) were also less sensitive to Ca2+ inhibition. We conclude that the acidic residues within the aa378-450 segment are unlikely to represent a single functional Ca2+ binding domain and do not contribute to Ca2+ activation of the receptor. The different effects of the mutations may be related to their location within two clusters of acidic residues identified in the crystal structure of the ligand-binding domain [I. Bosanac, J.R. Alattia, T.K. Mal, et al., Structure of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding core in complex with its ligand, Nature 420 (2002) 696-700]. The data support the view that all IP3R isoforms may display a range of Ca2+ sensitivities that are determined by multiple sites within the protein and markedly influenced by the affinity of the receptor for IP3.

Abstract
The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3R) are the intracellular calcium (Ca2+) release channels that play a key role in Ca2+ signaling in cells. Three InsP3R isoforms-InsP3R type 1 (InsP3R1), InsP3R type 2 (InsP3R2), and InsP3R type 3 (InsP3R3) are expressed in mammals. A single InsP3R isoform is expressed in Drosophila melanogaster (DmInsP3R) and Caenorhabditis elegans (CeInsP3R). The progress made during last decade towards understanding the function and the properties of the InsP3R is briefly reviewed in this chapter. The main emphasis is on studies that revealed structural determinants responsible for the ligand recognition by the InsP3R, ion permeability of the InsP3R, modulation of the InsP3R by cytosolic Ca2+, ATP and PKA phosphorylation and on the recently identified InsP3R-binding partners. The main focus is on the InsP3R1, but the recent information about properties of other InsP3R isoforms is also discussed.

Abstract
The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) is an intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channel that plays a crucial role in cell signaling. In Drosophila melanogaster a single InsP(3)R gene (itpr) encodes a protein (DmInsP(3)R) that is approximately 60% conserved with mammalian InsP(3)Rs. A number of itpr mutant alleles have been identified in genetic screens and studied for their effect on development and physiology. However, the functional properties of wild-type or mutant DmInsP(3)Rs have never been described. Here we use the planar lipid bilayer reconstitution technique to describe single-channel properties of embryonic and adult head DmInsP(3)R splice variants. The three mutants chosen in this study reside in each of the three structural domains of the DmInsP(3)R-the amino-terminal ligand binding domain (ug3), the middle-coupling domain (wc703), and the channel-forming region (ka901). We discovered that 1), the major functional properties of DmInsP(3)R (conductance, gating, and sensitivity to InsP(3) and Ca(2+)) are remarkably conserved with the mammalian InsP(3)R1; 2), single-channel conductance of the adult head DmInsP(3)R isoform is 89 pS and the embryonic DmInsP(3)R isoform is 70 pS; 3), ug3 mutation affects sensitivity of the DmInsP(3)Rs to activation by InsP(3), but not their InsP(3)-binding properties; 4), wc703 channels have increased sensitivity to modulation by Ca(2+); and 5), homomeric ka901 channels are not functional. We correlated the results obtained in planar lipid bilayer experiments with measurements of InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) fluxes in microsomes isolated from wild-type and heterozygous itpr mutants. Our study validates the use of D. melanogaster as an appropriate model for InsP(3)R structure-function studies and provides novel insights into the fundamental mechanisms of the InsP(3)R function.

Three mammalian InsP3R isoforms--InsP3R type 1 (InsP3R1), InsP3R type 2 (InsP3R2), and InsP3R type 3 (InsP3R3) are expressed in mammals, but the functional differences between the three mammalian InsP3R isoforms are poorly understood. Here we compared single-channel behavior of the recombinant rat InsP3R1, InsP3R2, and InsP3R3 expressed in Sf9 cells, reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers and recorded with 50 mM Ba2+ as a current carrier. We found that: 1), for all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms the size of the unitary current is 1.9 pA and single-channel conductance is 74-80 pS; 2), in optimal recording conditions the maximal single-channel open probability for all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms is in the range 30-40%; 3), in optimal recording conditions the mean open dwell time for all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms is 7-8 ms, the mean closed dwell time is approximately 10 ms; 4), InsP3R2 has the highest apparent affinity for InsP(3) (0.10 microM), followed by InsP3R1 (0.27 microM), and then by InsP3R3 (0.40 microM); 5), InsP3R1 has a high-affinity (0.13 mM) ATP modulatory site, InsP3R2 gating is ATP independent, and InsP3R3 has a low-affinity (2 mM) ATP modulatory site; 6), ATP modulates InsP3R1 gating in a noncooperative manner (n(Hill) = 1.3); 7), ATP modulates InsP3R3 gating in a highly cooperative manner (n(Hill) = 4.1). Obtained results provide novel information about functional properties of mammalian InsP3R isoforms.

Abstract
In the accompanying article, we compared main functional properties of the three mammalian inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3R) isoforms. In this article we focused on modulation of mammalian InsP3R isoforms by cytosolic Ca2+. We found that: 1), when recorded in the presence of 2 microM InsP3 and 0.5 mM ATP all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms display bell-shaped Ca2+ dependence in physiological range of Ca2+ concentrations (pCa 8-5); 2), in the same experimental conditions InsP3R3 is most sensitive to modulation by Ca2+ (peak at 107 nM Ca2+), followed by InsP3R2 (peak at 154 nM Ca2+), and then by InsP3R1 (peak at 257 nM Ca2+); 3), increase in ATP concentration to 5 mM had no significant effect of Ca2+ dependence of InsP3R1 and InsP3R2; 4), increase in ATP concentration to 5 mM converted Ca2+ dependence of InsP3R3 from "narrow" shape to "square" shape; 5), ATP-induced change in the shape of InsP3R3 Ca2+ dependence was mainly due to an >200-fold reduction in the apparent affinity of the Ca2+-inhibitory site; 6), the apparent Ca2+ affinity of the Ca2+ sensor region (Cas) determined in biochemical experiments is equal to 0.23 microM Ca2+ for RT1-Cas, 0.16 microM Ca2+ for RT2-Cas, and 0.10 microM Ca2+ for RT3-Cas; and 7), Ca2+ sensitivity of InsP3R1 and InsP3R3 isoforms recorded in the presence of 2 microM InsP3 and 0.5 mM ATP or 2 microM InsP3 and 5 mM ATP can be exchanged by swapping their Cas regions. Obtained results provide novel information about functional properties of mammalian InsP3R isoforms and support the importance of the Ca2+ sensor region (Cas) in determining the sensitivity of InsP3R isoforms to modulation by Ca2+.

Abstract
The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) is an intracellular calcium release channel that plays a crucial role in cell signaling. In Drosophila melanogaster, a single InsP3R gene (itpr) encodes a protein (DmInsP3R) that is approximately 60% conserved with mammalian InsP3Rs. The functional properties of wild-type (WT) and mutant DmInsP3Rs have recently been described [Srikanth et al., Biophys. J. 86 (2004) 3634-3646]. Here, we use the planar lipid bilayer reconstitution technique to describe single channel properties of a ka901 point mutant (G2630S) in the pore-forming region of DmInsP3R. We find that homomeric ka901 channels are not functional, but the heteromeric WT:ka901 mutant channels display increased conductance, longer channel open time and altered ion selectivity properties when compared to WT DmInsP3R. Obtained results are consistent with the gain of function phenotype observed in ka901/+ mutant flies.

Abstract
All Ca(2+) channels are regulated by Ca(2+), a feature that allows them to respond to their own activity and to the activities of neighboring Ca(2+) channels. Inhibition by Ca(2+) protects cells from potentially hazardous increases in cytosolic [Ca(2+)], and stimulation can mediate facilitation and regenerative propagation of Ca(2+) signals. Calmodulin is emerging as a key player in regulation of Ca(2+) channels by Ca(2+), but its role is more complex and more beautiful than might have been imagined.

Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca(2+)-sensor protein that plays an important role in regulating a large number of Ca(2+) channels, including the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R). CaM binds to the IP(3)R at Ca(2+)-dependent as well as at Ca(2+)-independent interaction sites. In this study, we have investigated the Ca(2+)-independent CaM-binding site for its role in the regulation of the Ca(2+)-dependent bell-shaped activation curve of the IP(3)R. Suramin, a polysulfonated napthylurea, displaced CaM in both the presence and the absence of Ca(2+). Suramin competed with CaM for binding to different peptides representing the previously identified CaM-binding sites on IP(3)R1. By interacting with the N-terminal Ca(2+)-independent CaM-binding site, suramin mimicked the functional effect of CaM and induced an allosteric but competitive inhibition of IP(3) binding. Therefore, suramin also potently inhibited IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR) from permeabilized cells predominantly expressing IP(3)R1 (L15 fibroblasts) or IP(3)R3 (Lvec fibroblasts), even though the IP(3)R3 does not contain Ca(2+)-dependent CaM-binding sites. Furthermore, we have found that CaM(1234), a CaM mutated in its four EF hands, inhibited IICR in a Ca(2+)-dependent way with the same potency as CaM. We conclude that CaM inhibits IICR via the N-terminal binding site. The inhibition requires Ca(2+) but CaM itself is not the Ca(2+) sensor for the inhibition of the IP(3)R.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor (InsP3R), a Ca2+-release channel localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, plays a critical role in generating complex cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals in many cell types. Three InsP3R isoforms are expressed in different subcellular locations, at variable relative levels with heteromultimer formation in different cell types. A proposed reason for this diversity of InsP3R expression is that the isoforms are differentially inhibited by high cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i), possibly due to their different interactions with calmodulin. Here, we have investigated the possible roles of calmodulin and bath [Ca2+] in mediating high [Ca2+]i inhibition of InsP3R gating by studying single endogenous type 1 InsP3R channels through patch clamp electrophysiology of the outer membrane of isolated Xenopus oocyte nuclei. Neither high concentrations of a calmodulin antagonist nor overexpression of a dominant-negative Ca2+-insensitive mutant calmodulin affected inhibition of gating by high [Ca2+]i. However, a novel, calmodulin-independent regulation of [Ca2+]i inhibition of gating was revealed: whereas channels recorded from nuclei kept in the regular bathing solution with [Ca2+] approximately 400 nM were inhibited by 290 muM [Ca2+]i, exposure of the isolated nuclei to a bath solution with ultra-low [Ca2+] (<5 nM, for approximately 300 s) before the patch-clamp experiments reversibly relieved Ca2+ inhibition, with channel activities observed in [Ca2+]i up to 1.5 mM. Although InsP3 activates gating by relieving high [Ca2+]i inhibition, it was nevertheless still required to activate channels that lacked high [Ca2+]i inhibition. Our observations suggest that high [Ca2+]i inhibition of InsP3R channel gating is not regulated by calmodulin, whereas it can be disrupted by environmental conditions experienced by the channel, raising the possibility that presence or absence of high [Ca2+]i inhibition may not be an immutable property of different InsP3R isoforms. Furthermore, these observations support an allosteric model in which Ca2+ inhibition of the InsP3R is mediated by two Ca2+ binding sites, only one of which is sensitive to InsP3.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) is a Ca2+ release channel that responds to the second messenger IP3. Exquisite modulation of intracellular Ca2+ release via IP3Rs is achieved by the ability of IP3R to integrate signals from numerous small molecules and proteins including nucleotides, kinases, and phosphatases, as well as nonenzyme proteins. Because the ion conduction pore composes only approximately 5% of the IP3R, the great bulk of this large protein contains recognition sites for these substances. Through these regulatory mechanisms, IP3R modulates diverse cellular functions, which include, but are not limited to, contraction/excitation, secretion, gene expression, and cellular growth. We review the unique properties of the IP3R that facilitate cell-type and stimulus-dependent control of function, with special emphasis on protein-binding partners.

Abstract
Aldosterone secretion by glomerulosa cells is stimulated by angiotensin II (ANG II), extracellular K(+), corticotrophin, and several paracrine factors. Electrophysiological, fluorimetric, and molecular biological techniques have significantly clarified the molecular action of these stimuli. The steroidogenic effect of corticotrophin is mediated by adenylyl cyclase, whereas potassium activates voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels. ANG II, bound to AT(1) receptors, acts through the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-Ca(2+)/calmodulin system. All three types of IP(3) receptors are coexpressed, rendering a complex control of Ca(2+) release possible. Ca(2+) release is followed by both capacitative and voltage-activated Ca(2+) influx. ANG II inhibits the background K(+) channel TASK and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, and the ensuing depolarization activates T-type (Ca(v)3.2) Ca(2+) channels. Activation of protein kinase C by diacylglycerol (DAG) inhibits aldosterone production, whereas the arachidonate released from DAG in ANG II-stimulated cells is converted by lipoxygenase to 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, which may also induce Ca(2+) signaling. Feedback effects and cross-talk of signal-transducing pathways sensitize glomerulosa cells to low-intensity stimuli, such as physiological elevations of [K(+)] (< or =1 mM), ANG II, and ACTH. Ca(2+) signaling is also modified by cell swelling, as well as receptor desensitization, resensitization, and downregulation. Long-term regulation of glomerulosa cells involves cell growth and proliferation and induction of steroidogenic enzymes. Ca(2+), receptor, and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and mitogen-activated kinases participate in these processes. Ca(2+)- and cAMP-dependent phosphorylation induce the transfer of the steroid precursor cholesterol from the cytoplasm to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Ca(2+) signaling, transferred into the mitochondria, stimulates the reduction of pyridine nucleotides.

Abstract
Modulation of the type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R1) by cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) plays an essential role in their signaling function, but structural determinants and mechanisms responsible for the InsP(3)R1 regulation by Ca(2+) are poorly understood. Using DT40 cell expression system and Ca(2+) imaging assay, in our previous study we identified a critical role of E2100 residue in the InsP(3)R1 modulation by Ca(2+). By using intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence measurements in the present study we determined that the putative InsP(3)R1 Ca(2+)-sensor region (E1932-R2270) binds Ca(2+) with 0.16 micro M affinity. We further established that E2100D and E2100Q mutations decrease Ca(2+)-binding affinity of the putative InsP(3)R1 Ca(2+)-sensor region to 1 micro M. In planar lipid bilayer experiments with recombinant InsP(3)R1 expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda cells we discovered that E2100D and E2100Q mutations shifted the peak of the InsP(3)R1 bell-shaped Ca(2+) dependence from 0.2 micro M to 1.5 micro M Ca(2+). In agreement with the biochemical data, we found that the apparent affinities of Ca(2+) activating and inhibitory sites of the InsP(3)R1 were 0.2 micro M for the wild-type channels and 1-2 micro M Ca(2+) for the E2100D and E2100Q mutants. The results obtained in our study support the hypothesis that E2100 residue forms a part of the InsP(3)R1 Ca(2+) sensor.

Abstract
The InsP3R proteins have three recognized domains, the InsP3-binding, regulatory/coupling, and channel domains (Mignery, G.A., and T.C. Südhof. 1990. EMBO J. 9:3893-3898). The InsP3 binding domain and the channel-forming domain are at opposite ends of the protein. Ligand regulation of the channel must involve communication between these different regions of the protein. This communication likely involves the interceding sequence (i.e., the regulatory/coupling domain). The single channel functional attributes of the full-length recombinant type-1, -2, and -3 InsP3R channels have been defined. Here, two type-1/type-2 InsP3R regulatory/coupling domain chimeras were created and their single channel function defined. One chimera (1-2-1) contained the type-2 regulatory/coupling domain in a type-1 backbone. The other chimera (2-1-2) contained the type-1 regulatory/coupling domain in a type-2 backbone. These chimeric proteins were expressed in COS cells, isolated, and then reconstituted in proteoliposomes. The proteoliposomes were incorporated into artificial planar lipid bilayers and the single-channel function of the chimeras defined. The chimeras had permeation properties like that of wild-type channels. The ligand regulatory properties of the chimeras were altered. The InsP3 and Ca2+ regulation had some unique features but also had features in common with wild-type channels. These results suggest that different independent structural determinants govern InsP3R permeation and ligand regulation. It also suggests that ligand regulation is a multideterminant process that involves several different regions of the protein. This study also demonstrates that a chimera approach can be applied to define InsP3R structure-function.

Abstract
Type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3R1s) play a major role in neuronal calcium (Ca2+) signaling. The InsP3R1s are phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA), but the functional consequences of InsP3R1 phosphorylation and the mechanisms that control the phosphorylated state of neuronal InsP3R1s are poorly understood. In a yeast two-hybrid screen of rat brain cDNA library with the InsP3R1-specific bait, we isolated the protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha). In biochemical experiments, we confirmed the specificity of the InsP3R1-PP1alpha association and immunoprecipitated the InsP3R1-PP1 complex from rat brain synaptosomes and from the neostriatal lysate. We also established that the association with PP1 facilitates dephosphorylation of PKA-phosphorylated InsP3R1 by the endogenous neostriatal PP1 and by the recombinant PP1alpaha. We demonstrated that exposure of neostriatal slices to 8-bromo-cAMP, dopamine, calyculin A, or cyclosporine A, but not to 10 nM okadaic acid, promotes the phosphorylation of neostriatal InsP3R1 by PKA in vivo. We discovered that PKA activates and PP1alpha inhibits the activity of recombinant InsP3R1 reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. We found that phosphorylation of InsP3R1 by PKA induces at least a fourfold increase in the sensitivity of InsP3R1 to activation by InsP3 without shifting the peak of InsP3R1 bell-shaped Ca2+ dependence. Based on these data, we suggest that InsP3R1 may participate in cross talk between cAMP and Ca2+ signaling in the neostriatum and possibly in other regions of the brain.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium release is a fundamental signaling mechanism in all eukaryotic cells. The ryanodine receptor (RyR) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) are intracellular calcium release channels. Both channels can be regulated by calcium and calmodulin (CaM). In this review we will first discuss the role of calcium as an activator and inactivator of the IP(3)R, concluding that calcium is the most important regulator of the IP(3)R. In the second part we will further focus on the role of CaM as modulator of the IP(3)R, using results of the voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels and the RyR as reference material. Here we conclude that despite the fact that different CaM-binding sites have been characterized, their function for the IP(3)R remains elusive. In the third part we will discuss the possible functional role of CaM in IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR) by direct and indirect mechanisms. Special attention will be given to the Ca(2+)-binding proteins (CaBPs) that were shown to activate the IP(3)R in the absence of IP(3).

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
KN-93, a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) inhibitor, concentration-dependently and reversibly inhibited inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R)-mediated [Ca(2+)](i) signaling in mouse eggs and permeabilized A7r5 smooth muscle cells, two cell types predominantly expressing type-1 IP(3)R (IP(3)R-1). KN-92, an inactive analog, was ineffective. The inhibitory action of KN-93 on Ca(2+) signaling depended neither on effects on IP(3) metabolism nor on the filling grade of Ca(2+) stores, suggesting a direct action on the IP(3)R. Inhibition was independent of CaMKII, since in identical conditions other CaMKII inhibitors (KN-62, peptide 281-309, and autocamtide-related inhibitory peptide) were ineffective and since CaMKII activation was precluded in permeabilized cells. Moreover, KN-93 was most effective in the absence of Ca(2+). Analysis of Ca(2+) release in A7r5 cells at varying [IP(3)], of IP(3)R-1 degradation in eggs, and of [(3)H]IP(3) binding in Sf9 microsomes all indicated that KN-93 did not affect IP(3) binding. Comparison of the inhibition of Ca(2+) release and of [(3)H]IP(3) binding by KN-93 and calmodulin (CaM), either separately or combined, was compatible with a specific interaction of KN-93 with a CaM-binding site on IP(3)R-1. This was also consistent with the much smaller effect of KN-93 in permeabilized 16HBE14o(-) cells that predominantly express type 3 IP(3)R, which lacks the high affinity CaM-binding site. These findings indicate that KN-93 inhibits IP(3)R-1 directly and may therefore be a useful tool in the study of IP(3)R functional regulation.
