Abstract
The major physiological stimuli of aldosterone secretion are angiotensin II (AII) and extracellular K(+), whereas cortisol production is primarily regulated by corticotropin (ACTH) in fasciculata cells. AII triggers Ca(2+) release from internal stores that is followed by store-operated and voltage-dependent Ca(2+) entry, whereas K(+)-evoked depolarization activates voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels. ACTH acts primarily through the formation of cAMP and subsequent protein phosphorylation by protein kinase A. Both Ca(2+) and cAMP facilitate the transfer of cholesterol to mitochondrial inner membrane. The cytosolic Ca(2+) signal is transferred into the mitochondrial matrix and enhances pyridine nucleotide reduction. Increased formation of NADH results in increased ATP production, whereas that of NADPH supports steroid production. In reality, the control of adrenocortical function is a lot more sophisticated with second messengers crosstalking and mutually modifying each other's pathways. Cytosolic Ca(2+) and cGMP are both capable of modifying cAMP metabolism, while cAMP may enhance Ca(2+) release and voltage-activated Ca(2+) channel activity. Besides, mitochondrial Ca(2+) signal brings about cAMP formation within the organelle and this further enhances aldosterone production. Maintained aldosterone and cortisol secretion are optimized by the concurrent actions of Ca(2+) and cAMP, as exemplified by the apparent synergism of Ca(2+) influx (inducing cAMP formation) and Ca(2+) release during response to AII. Thus, cross-actions of parallel signal transducing pathways are not mere intracellular curiosities but rather substantial phenomena, which fine-tune the biological response. Our review focuses on these functionally relevant interactions between the Ca(2+) and the cyclic nucleotide signal transducing pathways hitherto described in the adrenal cortex.

Abstract
The localized control of second messenger levels sculpts dynamic and persistent changes in cell physiology and structure. Inositol trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] 3-kinases (ITPKs) phosphorylate the intracellular second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P(3). These enzymes terminate the signal to release Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum and produce the messenger inositol tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4)]. Independent of their enzymatic activity, ITPKs regulate the microstructure of the actin cytoskeleton. The immune phenotypes of ITPK knockout mice raise new questions about how ITPKs control inositol phosphate lifetimes within spatial and temporal domains during lymphocyte maturation. The intense concentration of ITPK on actin inside the dendritic spines of pyramidal neurons suggests a role in signal integration and structural plasticity in the dendrite, and mice lacking neuronal ITPK exhibit memory deficits. Thus, the molecular and anatomical features of ITPKs allow them to regulate the spatiotemporal properties of intracellular signals, leading to the formation of persistent molecular memories.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase (IP3 3-kinase/IP(3)K) plays an important role in signal transduction in animal cells by phosphorylating inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP(4)). Both IP(3) and IP(4) are critical second messengers which regulate calcium (Ca(2+)) homeostasis. Mammalian IP3Ks are involved in many biological processes, including brain development, memory, learning and so on. It is widely reported that Ca(2+) is a canonical second messenger in higher plants. Therefore, plant IP3K should also play a crucial role in plant development. Recently, we reported the identification of plant IP3K gene (AtIpk2beta/AtIP3K) from Arabidopsis thaliana and its characterization. Here, we summarize the molecular cloning, biochemical properties and biological functions of IP3Ks from animal, yeast and plant. This review also discusses potential functions of IP3Ks in signaling crosstalk, inositol phosphate metabolism, gene transcriptional control and so on.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) initiates Ca(2+) release and is responsible for cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillations. InsP(3) oscillations have also been observed in some cells. One of the enzymes controlling InsP(3) catabolism, the InsP(3) 3-kinase, is stimulated by Ca(2+); this regulation is presumably part of the reason for InsP(3) oscillations that have been observed in some cells. Here, we investigate the possible role of Ca(2+)-activated InsP(3) catabolism on the characteristics of the InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) oscillations. Numerical simulations show that if it is assumed that the Ca(2+)-independent InsP(3) catabolism is predominant, Ca(2+) oscillations remain qualitatively unchanged although the relative amplitude of the oscillations in InsP(3) concentrations becomes minimal. We tested this prediction in hepatocytes by masking the Ca(2+)-dependent InsP(3) catabolism by 3-kinase through the injection of massive amounts of InsP(3) 5-phosphatase, which is not stimulated by Ca(2+). We find that in such injected hepatocytes, Ca(2+) oscillations generated by modest agonist levels are suppressed, presumably because of the decreased dose in InsP(3), but that at higher doses of agonist, oscillations reappear, with characteristics similar to those of untreated cells at low agonist doses. Altogether, these results suggest that oscillations in InsP(3) concentration due to Ca(2+)-stimulated InsP(3) catabolism do not play a major role for the oscillations in Ca(2+) concentration.

Abstract
The level of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in the cytoplasm is tightly regulated by two enzymes, the inositol 1,4,5,5-phosphatase and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase. Two isoforms of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase have been identified, the A form and the B form. The regulatory properties of the two isoforms were compared following overexpression and purification of the proteins from a v-src transformed mammalian cell line. The highly purified, recombinant inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinases were differentially regulated by calcium/calmodulin and via phosphorylation by protein kinase C or the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Both enzymes had similar affinities for inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (Km 2-5 mu M). Calcium/calmodulin stimulated the activity of isoform A about 2.5-fold, whereas the activity of isoform B was increased 20-fold. The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase A to the extent of 0.9 mol/mol and isoform B to 1 mol/mol. Protein kinase C phosphorylated isoform A to the extent of 2 mol/mol and isoform B to 2.7 mol/mol. Phosphorylation of isoform A by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase caused a 2.5-fold increase in its activity when assayed in the absence of calcium/calmodulin, whereas phosphorylation by protein kinase C decreased activity by 72%. The activity of isoform B in the absence of calcium/calmodulin was not affected by phosphorylation using either kinase. When assayed in the presence of calcium/calmodulin, phosphorylation of isoform A by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase increased activity 1.5-fold, whereas phosphorylation of isoform B decreased activity by 45%. Phosphorylation of either isoform A or B by protein kinase C resulted in a 70% reduction of calcium/calmodulin-stimulated activity. Differential expression and regulation of the two inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase isoforms provides multiple mechanisms for regulating the cytosolic level of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in cells.

Abstract
A series of key amino acids involved in Ins(1,4,5)P3 (InsP3) binding and catalytic activity of rat brain InsP3 3-kinase has been identified. The catalytic domain is at the C-terminal end and restricted to a maximum of 275 amino acids [Takazawa and Erneux (1991) Biochem. J. 280, 125-129]. In this study, newly prepared 5'-deletion and site-directed mutants have been compared both for InsP3 binding and InsP3 3-kinase activity. When the protein was expressed from L259 to R459, the activity was lost but InsP3 binding was conserved. Another deletion mutant that had lost only four amino acids after L259 had lost InsP3 binding, and this finding suggests that these residues (i.e. L259DCK262) are involved in InsP3 binding. To further support the data, we have produced two mutants by site-directed mutagenesis on residues C261 and K262. The two new enzymes were designated M4 (C261S) and M5 (K262A). M4 showed similar Vmax and Km values for InsP3 and ATP to wild-type enzyme. In contrast, M5 was totally inactive but had kept the ability to bind to calmodulin-Sepharose. C-terminal deletion mutants that had lost five, seven or nine amino acids showed a large decrease in InsP3 binding and InsP3 3-kinase activity. One mutant that had lost five amino acids (M2) was purified to apparent homogeneity: Km values for both substrates appeared unchanged but Vmax was decreased approx. 40-fold compared with the wild-type enzyme. The results indicate that (1) a positively charged amino acid residue K262 is essential for InsP3 binding and (2) amino acids at the C-terminal end of the protein are necessary to act as a catalyst in the InsP3 3-kinase reaction.

Abstract
D-myo-Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 5-phosphatase and 3-kinase are thought to be critical regulatory enzymes in the control of InsP3 and Ca2+ signaling. In brain and many other cells, type I InsP3 5-phosphatase is the major phosphatase that dephosphorylates InsP3 and D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. The type I 5-phosphatase appears to be associated with the particulate fraction of cell homogenates. Molecular cloning of the human brain enzyme identifies a C-terminal farnesylation site CVVQ. Post-translational modification of this enzyme promotes membrane interactions and changes in specific activity. We have now compared the cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) responses induced by ATP, thapsigargin, and ionomycin in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells transfected with the intact InsP3 5-phosphatase and with a mutant in which the C-terminal cysteine cannot be farnesylated. [Ca2+]i was also measured in cells transfected with an InsP3 3-kinase construct encoding the A isoform. The Ca2+ oscillations detected in the presence of 1 microM ATP in control cells were totally lost in 87.5% of intact (farnesylated) InsP3 5-phosphatase-transfected cells, while such a loss occurred in only 1.1% of the mutant InsP3 5-phosphatase-transfected cells. All cells overexpressing the InsP3 3-kinase also responded with an oscillatory pattern. However, in contrast to control cells, the [Ca2+]i returned to base-line levels in between a couple of oscillations. The [Ca2+]i responses to thapsigargin and ionomycin were identical for all cells. The four cell clones compared in this study also behaved similarly with respect to capacitative Ca2+ entry. In permeabilized cells, no differences in extent of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release nor in the threshold for InsP3 action were observed among the four clones and no differences in the expression levels of the various InsP3 receptor isoforms could be shown between the clones. Our data support the contention that the ATP-induced increase in InsP3 concentration in transfected CHO-K1 cells is essentially restricted to the site of its production near the plasma membrane, where it can be metabolized by the type I InsP3 5-phosphatase. This enzyme directly controls the [Ca2+]i response and the Ca2+ oscillations in intact cells.

Abstract
D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] 3-kinase, the enzyme responsible for production of D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, was activated 3- to 5-fold in homogenates of rat brain cortical slices after incubation with carbachol. The effect was reproduced in response to UTP in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A, the major isoform present in rat and human neuronal cells. In ortho-32P-labelled cells, the phosphorylated 53 kDa enzyme could be identified after receptor activation by immunoprecipitation. The time course of phosphorylation was very similar to that observed for carbachol (or UTP)-induced enzyme activation. Enzyme phosphorylation was prevented in the presence of okadaic acid. Calmodulin (CaM) kinase II inhibitors (i.e. KN-93 and KN-62) prevented phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Identification of the phosphorylation site in transfected CHO cells indicated that the phosphorylated residue was Thr311. This residue of the human brain sequence lies in an active site peptide segment corresponding to a CaM kinase II-mediated phosphorylation consensus site, i.e. Arg-Ala-Val-Thr. The same residue in Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A was also phosphorylated in vitro by CaM kinase II. Phosphorylation resulted in 8- to 10-fold enzyme activation and a 25-fold increase in sensitivity to the Ca2+:CaM complex. In this study, direct evidence is provided for a novel regulation mechanism for Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase (isoform A) in vitro and in intact cells.

Abstract
Transformation of Rat-1 fibroblasts with the v-src oncogene leads to a 6- to 8-fold enhancement of the activity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase in cytosolic extracts [Johnson, Wasilenko, Mattingly, Weber and Garrison (1989) Science 246, 121-124]. This study confirms these results using another v-src-transformed Rat-1 cell line (B31 cells) and investigates the molecular mechanism by which pp60v-src activates Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. The mRNA and protein levels for two rat isoforms of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase were determined in the v-src-transformed cell line. Both the mRNA and protein levels for isoform A were elevated in v-src-transformed Rat-1 cells while those for isoform B were not significantly affected. Moreover, stable expression of either form of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase in the B31 v-src-transformed Rat-1 cell line did not result in tyrosine phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A or B. These results suggest that at least one mechanism by which the v-src oncogene increases the activity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase in the Rat-1 transformed fibroblast is by increasing the level of expression of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A.

Abstract
D-myo-Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is a critical second messenger involved in signal transduction, i.e., calcium homeostasis. InsP3-kinase directly regulates the levels of InsP3 and D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4). InsP3 3-kinase is a calmodulin (CaM)-dependent enzyme and is also a target for phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC). Molecular cloning of cDNA's encoding proteins presenting InsP3 3-kinase activity establish the existence of distinct isoenzymes (at least three: A, B and C). These isoforms are differentially expressed and regulated by calcium/CaM. Site-directed mutagenesis and chemical modification of InsP3 3-kinase A led to the identification of three charged residues involved in ATP/Mg2+ binding among the catalytic domain and a hydrophobic residue taking part of the CaM binding site.

Abstract
The activation of a monovalent cation current was studied in rat megakaryocytes using patch clamp techniques combined with photometric measurements of intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and Na+. ADP evoked a release of [Ca2+]i and transiently activated a monovalent cation-selective channel, which, at negative potentials and under physiological conditions, would be expected to carry an inward Na+ current. The single channel conductance, estimated by noise analysis from whole cell currents at -50 to -60 mV was 9 picosiemens. Thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i increases failed to stimulate the monovalent cation current, suggesting that neither [Ca2+]i nor the depletion of internal Ca2+ stores were activators of this conductance. However, buffering of [Ca2+]i changes with 1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid showed that both activation and inactivation of the current were accelerated by a rise in [Ca2+]i. The monovalent cation conductance was activated by internal perfusion with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, both in the presence and in the absence of a rise in [Ca2+]i. Internal perfusion with inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate, the poorly metabolizable isomer of inositol trisphosphate, similarly activated the monovalent cation current, whereas 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate neither activated a current nor modified the ADP-induced monovalent current. Heparin, added to the pipette, blocked activation of the channel by ADP. The intracellular concentration of Na+, monitored by sodium-binding benzofuran isopthalate, increased by 10-20 mM in response to ADP under pseudophysiological conditions. We conclude the existence of a novel nonselective cation channel in the plasma membrane of rat megakaryocytes, which is activated by IP3 and can lead to increases in cytosolic Na+ after stimulation by ADP.

Abstract
Stimulation of bovine iris sphincter muscle with carbachol (10 microM) increased accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 (InsP3) and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 (InsP4) by 86 and 32% respectively. Addition of isoproterenol (5 microM) to muscle pretreated with carbachol reduced the 3H-radioactivity in InsP3 by 30% and increased that of InsP4 by 41%. InsP3 3-kinase was predominantly localized in the soluble fraction (110,000 g supernatant) of the iris sphincter. The enzyme was purified from this fraction by sequential chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, calmodulin (CAM)-agarose affinity, and Mono-Q anion-exchange columns. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 1.94 mumol/min per mg protein with a purification of 114-fold, compared with the cytosolic fraction of the muscle. SDS/PAGE showed the enzyme to be associated with a protein band corresponding to 50 kDa. In the presence of 10 microM Ca2+, CaM dose-dependently stimulated the enzyme. InsP3 3-kinase specifically phosphorylated InsP3 with an apparent K(m) of 0.56 microM and a Vmax. of 2.5 mumol/min per mg protein. The stimulatory effect of CaM was due to a change in Vmax. and not in its K(m). The enzyme was maximally active at pH 7.0-7.5. Phosphorylation of the purified InsP3 3-kinase with protein kinase A increased its activity; in contrast, phosphorylation with protein kinase C inhibited the enzyme activity. Treatment of the intact iris sphincter with isoproterenol or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate resulted in stimulation of InsP3 3-kinase activity in the soluble fraction and this activation was preserved on SDS/PAGE and renaturation. These results indicate that the bovine iris sphincter contains a Ca-CaM-dependent InsP3 3-kinase which can be differentially regulated, both in vitro and in intact muscle, by protein kinases A and C.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) is catalysed by InsP3 3-kinase. A method is presented for a rapid purification of the enzyme from human platelets. The purified enzyme was identified as a polypeptide of M(r) 69,000-70,000 after SDS/PAGE. It had a specific activity of 1.45 +/- 0.1 mumol/min per mg, and the degree of stimulation by Ca2+/calmodulin was 17-fold at saturating calmodulin and 10 microM free Ca2+. The Km for InsP3 and for ATP was 2.0 microM and 2.5 mM respectively. Human platelet InsP3 3-kinase was not recognized by immunodetection with anti-(InsP3 3-kinase A) or anti-(InsP3 3-kinase B) antibodies. These data provide the first biochemical evidence for the existence of a novel InsP3 3-kinase isoenzyme in human platelets, which is distinct from previously reported InsP3 3-kinase A and InsP3 3-kinase B.

Abstract
Recombinant rat brain inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] 3-kinase was expressed in Escherichia coli as a beta-galactosidase fusion product. It could be adsorbed onto calmodulin-Sepharose and eluted in Ca(2+)-free medium as a 48-kDa protein. Purification could be achieved in a single step. Molecular evidence for a calmodulin-binding domain on Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase can be shown by the following approaches. (a) Inhibition of Ca2+/calmodulin stimulation by a synthetic peptide based on a candidate calmodulin-binding domain. The inhibition was mimicked by a well-characterized peptide derived from the sequence of smooth muscle myosin light-chain kinase calmodulin-binding site. (b) The construction of two mutants by site-directed mutagenesis of Trp165 to Gly or Arg. Both mutants displayed kinase activity but were no longer Ca2+/calmodulin sensitive, supporting, therefore, the role of Trp165 in calmodulin binding.

Abstract
Rat liver inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins (1,4,5)P3] 3-kinase was purified in high yield by a three-step procedure reliant upon chromatography on heparin and calmodulin agarose. Purified enzyme was stable in the presence of the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulphonate (CHAPS) (0.1-0.5%) and the sulphydryl reducing reagent dithiothreitol (DTT). The purified enzyme was activated 2-3-fold by Ca2+ (1 microM) in the presence of calmodulin. Pyrophosphate and heparin were identified as inhibitors of the enzyme.

Abstract
The generation of inositol phosphates upon muscarinic-receptor activation was studied in [3H]inositol-loaded exocrine cells from the nasal salt glands of the duck Anas platyrhynchos, and the metabolism of different inositol phosphates in vitro was studied in tissue homogenates, with particular reference to the possible interaction of changes in intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) with the metabolic processes. In intact cells, there was a rapid (within 15 s) generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, followed by an accumulation of their breakdown products, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and inositol bis- and monophosphates. Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase was demonstrated in tissue homogenates, with the rate of phosphorylation increasing 2-fold at free Ca2+ concentrations greater than 1 microM. However, addition of calmodulin or the presence of the calmodulin inhibitor W-7 (up to 100 microM) had no effect. 3-Kinase activity increased proportionally with the initial Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration up to 1 microM, but a 10-fold higher substrate concentration produced only a doubling in the phosphorylation rate. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was dephosphorylated to Ins(1,3,4)P3, which accumulated in the homogenate assays as well as in intact cells. Depending on its concentration, Ins(1,3,4)P3 was phosphorylated [in part to Ins(1,3,4,6)P4] or dephosphorylated. To investigate the Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the 3-kinase in intact cells, excess quin2 was used to buffer the receptor-mediated transient changes in [Ca2+]i in [3H]inositol-loaded cells. These experiments revealed that increasing [Ca2+]i from less than 100 to approx. 400 nM (i.e. within the physiological range) has no effect on the partitioning of Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism (phosphorylation versus dephosphorylation) and on the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. This indicates that activation of the 3-kinase by physiologically relevant Ca2+ concentrations may not play a major role in the generation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 signals upon receptor activation in these cells. The latter are mainly achieved by the receptor-mediated increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the cell and its phosphorylation by the 3-kinase in a substrate-concentration-dependent manner.

Abstract
OKA2 and CL-A significantly inhibit the ability of angiotensin II, ATP and vasopressin to raise [Ca2+]i in rat hepatocytes, with a partial inhibition of the initial spike, and a complete inhibition of the following plateau. In contrast, the [Ca2+]i response to thapsigargin, which releases intracellular calcium stores through a mechanism independent of inositol phosphates, is much less affected. The ability of angiotensin II to stimulate Ins(1,4,5)P3 production is also reduced by OKA, with kinetics consistent with the inhibited [Ca2+]i response. Since OKA and CL-A are potent and selective inhibitors of phosphoprotein phosphatases, these results provide further evidence that agonist-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 signalling can be inhibited by protein phosphorylation.

Abstract
In order to identify the amino acid residues involved in calmodulin (CaM) binding and catalytic activity, rat brain inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase was expressed in Escherichia coli as a beta-galactosidase fusion protein [clone C5; Takazawa, Vandekerckhove, Dumont & Erneux (1990) Biochem. J. 272, 107-112]. Three deletion mutants in the plasmid of clone C5 were generated using convenient restriction enzymes. The results show that the removal of 34 amino acids from the C-terminal end of InsP3 3-kinase resulted in an inactive protein which still interacted with CaM-Sepharose in a Ca2(+)-dependent way. The catalytic domain is thus located at the C-terminal end of the protein. A series of 5' deletion mutants was prepared and used to produce proteins with the same C-terminal end but shortened N-termini, varying in length by over 80 amino acids. Assay of InsP3 3-kinase activity in bacterial extracts indicated that a maximum of 275 amino acids in the C-terminal region may be sufficient for the construction of a catalytically active domain. Affinity chromatography on CaM-Sepharose of 5' and 3' deletion mutants revealed that the sequence stretching from Ser-156 to Leu-189 is involved in CaM binding and enzyme stimulation.

Abstract
The organization of multicellular organisms depends on cell-cell communication. The signal molecules are often soluble components in the extracellular fluid, but also include odors and light. A large array of surface receptors is involved in the detection of these signals. Signals are then transduced across the plasma membrane so that enzymes at the inner face of the membrane are activated, producing second messengers, which by a complex network of interactions activate target proteins or genes. Vertebrate cells have been used to study hormone and neurotransmitter action, vision, the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Sensory transduction in lower eukaryotes is predominantly used for other functions, notably cell attraction for mating and food seeking. By comparing sensory transduction in lower and higher eukaryotes general principles may be recognized that are found in all organisms and deviations that are present in specialised systems. This may also help to understand the differences between cell types within one organism and the importance of a particular pathway that may or may not be general. In a practical sense, microorganisms have the advantage of their easy genetic manipulation, which is especially advantageous for the identification of the function of large families of signal transducing components.

Abstract
The distribution of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase was studied in the adult rat brain, using polyclonal antibodies raised against the purified 50,000-Da rat brain enzyme by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, in addition to enzymatic assay. Immunohistochemically, the enzyme was detected in neurons, where it was localized in the dendrites and at the periphery of the cell bodies. Using selective toxin lesions, the highest enzyme levels were found in the dendrites of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells and in neurons in the dorsal portion of the lateral septum, regions both involved in long-term potentiation; and in the dendrites of Purkinje cell subpopulations in the cerebellum, a region involved in long-term depression. High levels were found in neurons in the cortex; in the anterior olfactory nucleus; in the striatum (caudate, putamen, olfactory tubercle, Calleja islets and accumbens); in the central nucleus of the amygdala; in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and in the subiculum. The enzyme was not detected in other brain regions. By Western blot, a 50,000-Da immunoreactive band was present in the cortex, caudate-putamen and cerebellum. This band was most highly stained in the hippocampus. InsP3 3-kinase activity, stimulated by calcium/calmodulin, corresponded to 6172-2638 pmol of InsP4 produced/min/mg protein in the hippocampus followed by frontal and parietotemporal cortex and cerebellum. This activity was below 400 in the brainstem and spinal cord.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This review assimilates information on the regulation of the metabolism of those inositol phosphates and diacylglycerols that respond to receptor activation. Particular emphasis is placed on the regulation of specific enzymes, the occurrence of isoenzymes, and metabolic compartmentalization; the overall aim is to demonstrate the significance of these activities in relation to the physiological impact of the various cell signalling processes.

Abstract
Culture of glomerular mesangial cells in the absence of insulin decreased the degree of contraction of individual cells in response to vasoconstrictive agonists, angiotensin II, platelet-activating factor and endothelin 1, as compared with cells cultured in the presence of insulin (0.7 nM). This change was associated with a decreased sensitivity of the intracellular Ca2+ response to vasoactive agents in fura-2-loaded cells and with an increase in the basal level of prostanoid [prostaglandins (PG) E1 and E2] production estimated by radioimmunoassay. Addition of exogenous PGE2 to insulin-exposed cells decreased the contractile response to that observed in insulin-deficient cells. Inclusion of 8-bromo cyclic AMP had a similar effect. In 45Ca2(+)-release studies it was shown that, in saponin-permeabilized insulin-exposed cells, preincubation with exogenous PGE2 or 8-bromo cyclic AMP decreased the sensitivity of 45Ca2+ release in response to Ins(1,4,5)P3, as demonstrated by an increase in the EC50 (concn. giving half-maximal effect) to 0.182 +/- 0.024 microM and 0.457 +/- 0.031 microM respectively, as compared with untreated permeabilized cells (EC50 0.091 +/- 0.021 microM). A similar decrease in Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive 45Ca2+ release was seen in permeabilized cells from insulin-free conditions of culture (EC50 0.20 +/- 0.061 microM). As altered glomerular haemodynamics are found in insulinopaenic diabetic conditions, it is proposed that a decrease in intracellular Ca2+ availability in response to vasoactive agonists and consequent decrease in mesangial-cell contractility contributes to the hyperfiltration seen in this condition.

Abstract
Many cells generate oscillations in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ('free Ca') when stimulated with Ca-mobilizing hormones. The frequency of repetitive free-Ca transients in a rat hepatocyte is a function of hormone concentration and can be depressed by phorbol esters. We show here that the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors staurosporine and sphingosine can reverse the effects of phorbol dibutyrate on the frequency of free-Ca transients induced by phenylephrine or vasopressin. An important feature of the hepatocyte free-Ca oscillator is that the transient's time course, particularly the rate of fall of free Ca from peak to resting, depends on the species of agonist, and is measurably different for phenylephrine, vasopressin, angiotensin II or ATP. We show here that the rate of fall of free Ca in transients induced by phenylephrine or vasopressin is markedly decreased after treatment of the cells with a PKC inhibitor. A receptor-controlled oscillator model is discussed, in which PKC provides negative feedback during the falling phase of free-Ca transients.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase catalyses the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of InsP3 to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4). InsP3 3-kinase was purified from rat brain by Blue-Sepharose, phosphocellulose and calmodulin (CaM)-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was stimulated by Ca2+/CaM by 3-6-fold as compared with the activity measured in the presence of EGTA. Rat brain InsP3 3-kinase activity was associated with two silver-stained bands of about equal activity which migrated with an apparent Mr of 50,000 on SDS/polyacrylamide gels. InsP3 3-kinase activity from rat brain could be immunoprecipitated by an antiserum against the SDS/PAGE-purified 50,000-Mr protein doublet. InsP3 kinase activity from bovine brain and the InsP3 5-phosphatase activity from rat brain were not immunoprecipitated. On Western blot, the human brain crude InsP3 3-kinase reacted specifically, but less strongly than the rat brain enzyme, with the antiserum.

Abstract
1. The Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) independent activity of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase in macrophages could be separated from the dependent activity by serial column chromatography, gel filtration, Orange A and DEAE-5PW. 2. An InsP3 analog which has an aminobenzoyl group on the 2nd carbon of the inositol ring inhibited the conversion of [3H]InsP3 to [3H]InsP4 (inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate) in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration required for half-maximal inhibition (IC50) with the Ca2+/CaM independent enzyme activity was also dependent on the free Ca2+ concentration, as with the dependent activity. 3. These results suggest that a conformational change in the enzyme occurs in response to a change in free Ca2+ concentration, and thus the potency to recognize the InsP3 analog would change, even when the Ca2+/CaM independent enzyme activity was used.

Abstract
Single-cell fluorescence image analysis has been used to characterize the mitogen-induced increases in intracellular free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) in control and protein kinase C-depleted Swiss 3T3 cells. More than 80% of the control cells exhibited fast, transient responses to bombesin, vasopressin, or prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). In contrast, the [Ca2+]i responses induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were markedly more heterogeneous, slower, and often biphasic, with fewer cells (60-70%) responding. The peak [Ca2+]i values obtained in response to each mitogen showed substantial variation between cells. Brief pretreatment of the cells with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) reduced the [Ca2+]i responses to bombesin, but did not affect the responses to PDGF. Long-term pretreatment of the cells with TPA to down-modulate protein kinase C resulted in substantially prolonged [Ca2+]i responses to bombesin, vasopressin, and PGF2 alpha, but had no such effect on the responses to PDGF. We conclude that differences between the [Ca2+]i responses to bombesin and PDGF, previously reported using cell populations, reflect differences occurring in individual cells, and that the [Ca2+]i responses to bombesin, vasopressin, and PGF2 alpha (but not PDGF) are subject to feedback inhibition via protein kinase C.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase pp60v-src, encoded by the v-src oncogene, seems to regulate phosphatidylinositol metabolism. The effect of pp60v-src on control points in inositol phosphate production was examined by measuring the amounts of inositol polyphosphates in Rat-1 cells expressing wild-type or mutant forms of the protein. Expression of v-src-resulted in a five- to sevenfold elevation in the steady-state amount of an isomer of inositol tetrakisphosphate, whereas the concentrations of inositol trisphosphates or other inositol tetrakisphosphates were not affected. The activity of a key enzyme in the formation of inositol tetrakisphosphates, inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate 3-kinase, was increased six- to eightfold in cytosolic extracts prepared from the v-src-transformed cells, suggesting that this enzyme may be one target for the pp60v-src kinase and that it may participate in the synthesis of novel, higher order inositol phosphates.

Abstract
The hydrophobic reagents DCCD and EEDQ, each of which reacts with protein carboxyl groups, were found to inhibit both passive Ca2+ uptake by plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat liver and agonist-induced Ca2+ uptake by hepatocytes. The data raise the possibility that the Ca2+ inflow pathway(s) in liver has a specific requirement for a reactive carboxyl group or groups.

Abstract
Adrenocortical microsomes possess a single population of Ins(1,4,5)P3-specific binding sites [IC50 5.9 +/- 0.9 nM; Palmer, Hughes, Lee & Wakelam (1988) Cell. Signalling 1, 147-156]. Competition studies showed that Ins(1:2-cyclic,4,5)P3 exhibits a 21-fold lower affinity for the site than Ins(1,4,5)P3 (IC50 124 +/- 16 nM). The affinity of the binding sites for Ins(1,4,5)P3 was not influenced by the non-hydrolysable GTP analogues GTP gamma S and Gpp[NH]p or by preincubation of the binding protein with a preparation of partially purified protein kinase C in the presence of ATP and TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate). These observations are discussed with reference to the identify and function of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding site.
