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
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 phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis signaling system has been shown to be altered in platelets of depressed and schizophrenic subjects. Inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), an integral component of the PI signaling system, mobilizes Ca2+
by activating Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors. To eventually investigate the role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors in depression and other mental disorders, we characterized [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding sites in crude platelet membranes prepared from small amounts of blood obtained from healthy human control subjects. We found a single, saturable binding site for [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 to crude platelet membranes, which is time dependent and modulated by pH, inositol phosphates, and heparin. Since cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and Ca2+
have been shown to be important modulators in Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors, in the present study we also determined the effects of various concentrations of CaCI2
and forskolin on Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to platelet membranes. CaCI2 modulated [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding sites in a biphasic manner: at lower concentrations it inhibited [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding, whereas at higher concentrations, it stimulated [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding. On the other hand, forskolin inhibited [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding. Our results thus suggest that the pharmacological characteristics of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to crude platelet membranes are similar to that of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors; and that both Ca2+
and cAMP modulate [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding in crude platelet membranes.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the primary storage and release site of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in many excitable cells. The SR is a tubular network, which in smooth muscle (SM) cells distributes close to cellular periphery (superficial SR) and in deeper aspects of the cell (deep SR). Recent attention has focused on the regulation of cell function by the superficial SR, which can act as a buffer and also as a regulator of membrane channels and transporters. Ca2+ is released from the SR via two types of ionic channels [ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated], whereas accumulation from thecytoplasm occurs exclusively by an energy-dependent sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump (SERCA). Within the SR, Ca2+ is bound to various storage proteins. Emerging evidence also suggests that the perinuclear portion of the SR may play an important role in nuclear transcription. In this review, we detail the pharmacology of agents that alter the functions of Ca2+ release channels and of SERCA. We describe their use and selectivity and indicate the concentrations used in investigating various SM preparations. Important aspects of cell regulation and excitation-contractile activity coupling in SM have been uncovered through the use of such activators and inhibitors of processes that determine SR function. Likewise, they were instrumental in the recent finding of an interaction of the SR with other cellular organelles such as mitochondria. Thus, an appreciation of the pharmacology and selectivity of agents that interfere with SR function in SM has greatly assisted in unveiling the multifaceted nature of the SR.

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

Abstract
Synthetic analogues of inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)), all of which included structures equivalent to the 4,5-bisphosphate of (1,4,5)IP(3), were used to probe the recognition properties of rat full-length type 1, 2 and 3 IP(3) receptors expressed in insect Spodoptera frugiperda 9 cells. Using equilibrium competition binding with [(3)H](1,4,5)IP(3) in Ca(2+)-free cytosol-like medium, the relative affinities of the receptor subtypes for (1,4,5)IP(3) were type 3 (K(d)=11+/-2 nM)>type 2 (K(d)=17+/-2 nM)>type 1 (K(d)=24+/-4 nM). (1,4,5)IP(3) binding was reversibly stimulated by increased pH, but the subtypes differed in their sensitivity to pH (type 1>type 2>type 3). For all three subtypes, the equatorial 6-hydroxy group of (1,4,5)IP(3) was essential for high-affinity binding, the equatorial 3-hydroxy group significantly improved affinity, and the axial 2-hydroxy group was insignificant; a 1-phosphate (or in its absence, a 2-phosphate) improved binding affinity. The subtypes differed in the extents to which they tolerated inversion of the 3-hydroxy group of (1,4,5)IP(3) (type 1>type 2>type 3), and this probably accounts for the selectivity of (1,4,6)IP(3) for type 1 receptors. They also differed in their tolerance of inversion, removal or substitution (by phosphate) of the 2-hydroxy group (types 2 and 3>type 1), hence the selectivity of (1,2,4,5)IP(4) for type 2 and 3 receptors. Removal of the 3-hydroxy group or its replacement by fluorine or CH(2)OH was best tolerated by type 3 receptors, and accounts for the selectivity of 3-deoxy(1,4,5)IP(3) for type 3 receptors. Our results provide the first systematic analysis of the recognition properties of IP(3) receptor subtypes and have identified the 2- and 3-positions of (1,4,5)IP(3) as key determinants of subtype selectivity.

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

Abstract
The complex changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration that follow cell stimulation reflect the concerted activities of Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and in the membranes of intracellular stores, and the opposing actions of the mechanisms that extrude Ca2+ from the cytosol. Disentangling the roles of each of these processes is hampered by the lack of adequately selective pharmacological tools. In this review, Colin Taylor and Lisa Broad summarize the more serious problems associated with some of the commonly used drugs, and describe specific situations in which the multiple effects of drugs on Ca2(+)-signalling pathways have confused analysis of these pathways.

Abstract
In this study we have analysed the effects of ethanol and divalent cations on the binding of [(3) H]-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate to rat cerebellar membranes. Rats were injected intraperitoneally, daily, with 3g of ethanol/kg of body weight for different periods of time. Repeated in vivo administration of ethanol caused a reduction of about 30% of binding in an in vitro assay carried out in the presence of 1 mM EDTA. With an IC approximately 250 nM calcium ions produced a reduction in binding to cerebellar membranes isolated from control rats. The inhibitory effect was not observed in membranes taken from animals injected with alcohol for 21 days. Magnesium and manganese ions also lowered IP binding. The metabolic degradation of IP to IP was increased by magnesium and manganese but not by calcium and was similar in control and ethanol 2 treated rats. The results indicate that ethanol repeatedly administered to rats modifies the sensitivity of the IP receptor to calcium ion, but that it does not alter the metabolic fate of IP to IP. This supports the idea that ethanol may have preferable targets within the cell.

Abstract
The binding of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] to saponin-permeabilized blood-bank-outdated human platelets, 6 days old, has been characterized (Kd = 3.8 nM; Bmax = 1.7 pmol/mg protein) and used to develop a novel radioreceptor assay which allows the measurement of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 content in resting or agonist-stimulated cells. This assay is as sensitive (0.25 pmol in a 0.25 ml volume), specific, and reproducible as previously proposed methods. In addition, obtaining large batches of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding protein by treating outdated platelets with saponin is simple and quick and uses otherwise discarded material. Moreover, the assay is considerably cheaper than commercially available kits. Using this method we confirmed that thrombin evokes a rapid, transient, and dose-dependent increase in the platelet concentration of Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Abstract
1. We have investigated the interactions between intracellular pH (pH1) and the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in isolated rat pancreatic acinar cells. The fluorescent dyes fura-2 and BCECF were used to measure [Ca2+]i and pHi, respectively. 2. Sodium acetate and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) were used to acidify and alkalinize pHi, respectively. Cytosolic acidification had no effect on [Ca2+]i in resting pancreatic acinar cells, whereas cytosolic alkalinization released Ca2+ from intracellular stores. 3. Cytosolic acidification using either acetate or a CO2-HCO3(-)-buffered medium enhanced Ca2+ signals evoked by acetylcholine (ACh) and cholecystokinin (CCK). In contrast, both NH4Cl and trimethylamine (TMA) inhibited Ca2+ signals during stimulation with either ACh or CCK. This inhibitory effect was also observed in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, and was therefore not due to changes in Ca2+ entry. 4. Calcium oscillations evoked by physiological concentrations of CCK were enhanced by cytosolic acidification and inhibited by cytosolic alkalinization. 5. In order to determine the effects of pHi upon Ca2+ handling by intracellular Ca2+ stores, intraorganellar [Ca2+] was monitored using the low affinity Ca2+ indicator mag-fura-2 in permeabilized cells. Addition of NH4Cl, which is expected to alkalinize intraorganellar pH, did not alter intraorganellar [Ca2+] in permeabilized cells, suggesting that changing intraorganellar pH does not release Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Addition of NH4Cl or acetate also did not affect the rate of Ca2+ release induced by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3). 6. Modification of extraorganellar ('cytosolic') pH did not affect the rate of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake into stores, but did modify the rate of Ca2+ release evoked by submaximal concentrations of InsP3. The rate of Ca2+ release was increased at more alkaline extraorganellar pHs. These results would suggest that manipulation of intraorganellar pH does not affect Ca2+ handling by the intracellular stores. In contrast, extraorganellar ('cytosolic') pH does affect InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from the stores. 7. In conclusion, changes in intracellular pH in pancreatic acinar cells can profoundly alter cytosolic [Ca2+]. This may shed light on earlier observations whereby cell-permeant weak acids and bases can modulate fluid secretion in epithelia.

Abstract
Subtypes of the type-1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor differ at the mRNA level in two small variably spliced segments. One segment (SI) encodes for a sequence within the InsP3-binding domain, thus its presence or absence could affect the functions of the receptor. We have used anti-peptide antibodies to confirm the existence of different subtypes of the InsP3 receptor (InsP3R) protein. The antibody against residues 322-332, within the SI region, recognized a 260 kDa polypeptide in membranes prepared from rat cerebellum or cerebral cortex. The cerebellum contained a few percent of the InsP3R protein having the SI region, whereas the cerebral cortex contained a high proportion of receptors with the SI region. These two tissues were representative of both isoforms, SI- or SI+, and displayed the same [3H]InsP3-binding characteristics. Thus, the SI region was not involved in the basic properties of the receptor. Deletion of the peptide 316-352 containing the SI segment greatly reduced InsP3 binding [Miyawaki, Furuichi, Ryou, Yoshikawa, Nakagawa, Saitoh and Mikoshiba (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 88, 4911-4915]. The antibodies against the SI region or against residues 337-349 did not modify the binding of [3H]InsP3 in the cortical membranes rich in the SI+ isoform or in cerebellar membranes. These results suggested that the SI region was not part of the binding site. The subcellular distribution of these two isoforms was then investigated in rat liver. The two isoforms were identified in different membrane fractions and they followed the same subcellular distribution. We suggest that the domain with the SI region may be involved in a function other than InsP3-induced Ca2+ release.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that the ryanodine receptor and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor play major roles in the complex mechanisms by which agonists increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration. In these mechanisms, the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase has been attributed an accessory role of refilling the intracellular Ca2+ store. In the present study, the activity of the microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase of bovine adrenal cortex was investigated. We show that the Ca(2+)-pumping activity of the Ca(2+)-ATPase is related to the ADP/ATP ratio. Our results also show that a brisk increase of the ADP/ATP ratio upon addition of exogenous ADP triggered a rapid release of Ca2+ from preloaded microsomes. ADP released Ca2+ in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 of 2.98 +/- 0.78 mM. ADP-induced Ca2+ release was not prevented by heparin, ruling out the participation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. ADP-induced Ca2+ release could not be attributed to the mere inhibition of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, since the rate of ADP-induced Ca2+ release was 20 times faster than the rate of Ca2+ release induced by a maximal concentration of thapsigargin (2 microM). ADP-induced Ca2+ release experiments performed in the presence of [32P]PO4 revealed a concomitant production of [32P]ATP. ADP-induced [32P]ATP production was dose-dependent, with an EC50 of 5.50 +/- 0.70 mM. ADP-induced [32P]ATP production was prevented by ionomycin (10 microM) and by high concentrations of extramicrosomal Ca2+. These results demonstrate that the microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase of adrenal cortex possesses a bidirectional activity that depends on ADP concentrations, the Ca2+ gradient across the microsomal membrane, and probably also ATP concentrations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The present study investigated the characteristics of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) binding sites in crude membrane preparations of rabbit aortic smooth muscle. A particular aim was to demonstrate if increases in cytoplasmic cyclic guanosine 3':5' monophosphate (cGMP), which mediates the effect of nitrovasodilators, may cause smooth muscle relaxation in part by the displacement of Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding. Negligible Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding was observed at pH < 7, while maximum binding occurred over the pH range 8-9. Saturation analysis of isotopic dilution binding data revealed an apparently homogenous population of Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding sites with a KD of 4.02 +/- 0.53 nM and a Bmax of 27.7 +/- 4.6 fmol/mg protein. Heparin, an Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor antagonist, inhibited binding with an IC50 of 11.43 +/- 2.81 micrograms/ml. The ability of other polyphosphate compounds to inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding in this preparation was also examined. D-myo-Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4), adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) inhibited Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding, although each was significantly less potent that Ins(1,4,5)P3. In contrast, cyclic guanosine 3':5' monophosphate (cGMP) did not significantly alter Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding in rabbit aortic smooth muscle. This observation suggests that competitive inhibition of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor binding is not an important consideration in cGMP-mediated vascular smooth muscle cell relaxation.

Abstract
This study concerns the detection and analysis of the highly homologous type II-like inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3R-II, -IV and -V). We have particularly investigated RBL-2H3 cells, which at the mRNA level predominantly expressed InsP3R-IV [De Smedt H. Missiaen L. Parys JB. et al. (1994) Determination of relative amounts of inositol trisphosphate receptor mRNA isoforms by ratio polymerase chain reaction. J. Biol. Chem., 269, 21691-21698]. When measured in identical experimental conditions, microsomes from RBL-2H3 cells were characterized by a much higher InsP3 binding affinity (Kd 3.8 +/- 0.8 nM, Bmax 0.40 +/- 0.08 pmol/mg protein) than microsomes from A7r5 cells (Kd 65 +/- 7 nM, Bmax 0.65 +/- 0.08 pmol/mg protein) or from cerebellum (Kd 135 +/- 14 nM, Bmax 7.35 +/- 1.13 pmol/mg protein). An affinity-purified antibody against the C-terminus of type II-like InsP3Rs detected, after SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, a 250 kD protein in RBL-2H3 and C3H10T1/2 cells, but not in other cell types. An isoform-specific antibody against the C-terminus of InsP3R-I was used to determine the presence of the various InsP3R-I splice isoforms at the protein level. The 273 kD (brain), 261 kD (peripheral tissues) and 256 kD (Xenopus oocytes) isoforms were recognized. Expression of InsP3R-I in RBL-2H3 cells was very low. Taken together, our results support the hypothesis that InsP3R isoforms may differ to a large extent in their affinity for InsP3 and suggest that RBL-2H3 cells are a useful model for the study of InsP3R-IV.

Abstract
The synergistic action of cytosolic Ca2+ and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) in releasing intracellular Ca2+ stores has been suggested to be responsible for the complex intracellular Ca2 signals observed during hormonal stimulation of many cell types. However, the ability of cytosolic Ca2+ to potentiate Ca2+ release has recently been questioned because of the observed inhibitory effects of Ca2+ chelators used in previous studies. In the present study, EGTA and BAPTA [1,2-bis-(2-amino-phenoxy)ethane- NNN'N'-tetra-acetic acid] poorly inhibited InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from permeabilized A7r5 smooth-muscle cells. Additionally, stimulatory effects of cytosolic and luminal Ca2+ were observed either in the complete absence of Ca2+ chelator or at constant Ca(2+)-free chelator concentration. These data suggest that potentiation of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release by Ca2+ in A7r5 cells reflects an interaction between Ca2+ and InsP3 receptors, rather than a decrease in chelator-dependent inhibition. The EC50 for activation of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release by cytosolic Ca2+ was unaffected by ATP, or by changing InsP3 concentration, although InsP3-induced Ca2+ release became less sensitive to the inhibitory effects of cytosolic Ca2+ as the InsP3 concentration was elevated. Increasing H+ or Mg2+ concentration shifted the Ca(2+)-activation curve towards higher Ca2+ concentrations. These data suggest that, in addition to the InsP3-binding site, the affinity of the Ca(2+)-binding site(s) on InsP3 receptors can be modulated by intracellular cations.

Abstract
The mechanism by which Ca2+ inhibits InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum of vascular smooth muscle was investigated. InsP3 binding to sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles from dog aortic smooth muscle was inhibited by 51 +/- 6% by 2 microM Ca2+ in the presence of 10 nM [3H]InsP3. Scatchard analysis indicated the presence of two InsP3-binding sites in the absence of Ca2+ (Kd = 2.5 +/- 0.9 and 49 +/- 8 nM InsP3), though the low-affinity site was more prevalent (representing 92 +/- 3% of the total number of binding sites). Ca2+ (2 microM) did not alter InsP3 binding to the high-affinity site (P > 0.05), but increased the Kd of the low-affinity site 3-fold (Kd = 155 +/- 4 nM InsP3; P < 0.001). The possibility that the apparent decrease in InsP3 affinity was caused by Ca(2+)-dependent activation of an endogenous phospholipase C could be excluded, because the Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of InsP3 binding was completely reversible and insensitive to an inhibitor of phospholipase C. Moreover, Ca2+ did not inhibit InsP3 binding to InsP3 receptor partially purified by heparin-Sepharose chromatography, though another fraction (devoid of InsP3 receptor) restored Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the partially purified InsP3 receptor. Thus Ca2+ binding to a Ca(2+)-sensitizing factor associated with the InsP3 receptor decreases the affinity of the receptor complex for InsP3. This Ca(2+)-sensitizing factor may provide a negative-feedback mechanism for regulating the rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in vascular smooth muscle after hormone activation of the phosphoinositide cascade.

Abstract
[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3- and [3H]ryanodine-binding sites were characterized in membrane fractions from guinea-pig intestinal smooth muscle (longitudinal layer) and their subcellular localization was investigated by analytical cell-fractionation techniques. Fractions collected at low centrifugal fields (N and M fractions) contained predominantly low-affinity [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding sites (KD 80 nM), whereas microsomal (P) fractions contained only high-affinity binding sites (KD 5 nM). Total sedimentable high-affinity binding sites of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 were 9-10-fold more numerous than those of [3H]ryanodine. Both high-affinity binding sites were purified in microsomal fractions, and their sub-microsomal distribution patterns after isopycnic density-gradient centrifugation were similar to those of presumed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) constituents, indicating that Ins(1,4,5)P3 and ryanodine receptors were localized primarily in ER and probably associated with rough as well as smooth ER. However, the stoichiometric ratio of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to ryanodine receptors was distinctly higher in high-density RNA-rich subfractions than in low-density RNA-poor subfractions, suggesting that Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors were somewhat concentrated in the ribosome-coated portions of ER. The low overall stoichiometric ratio of ryanodine to Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors in intestinal smooth muscle (1:9-10) might explain, at least partly, the existence of a Ca(2+)-storage compartment devoid of ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channels, but equipped with Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive channels, in saponin-permeabilized smooth-muscle cells [Iino, Kobayashi and Endo (1988) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 152, 417-422].

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3R) in Xenopus laevis oocytes were localized and their regulation by Ca2+ was investigated. Antibodies raised against the C-terminal region of the mouse cerebellar InsP3R (cAb) cross-reacted with a 255 kD protein in Western blots of Xenopus microsomal membranes. Immunolocalization of this protein in cryosections of oocytes revealed diffuse staining of the cytoplasm, intense staining of the sub-plasma membrane region of the animal hemisphere, and punctate staining in association with the germinal vesicle. In the presence of 40 microM free Ca2+, isolated oocyte membranes exhibited a high affinity binding site for Ins 1,4,5-P3 (KD = 5nM) and a binding capacity of 450 fmol/mg protein. The specific binding capacity of oocyte membranes for [3H]-Ins 1,4,5-P3 increased as the level of free Ca2+ present in binding assays was raised from < 0.1 nM to 4.0 microM, with an apparent EC50 of 60 nM. Increasing the concentration of free Ba2+ failed to facilitate [3H]-Ins1,4,5-P3 binding. Other inositol phosphates competed for Ins1,4,5-P3 binding sites with approximate IC50 values of: Ins1,3,4,5-P4 = 79 nM, Ins2,4,5-P3 = 455 nM and L-Ins1,4,5-P3 = 20 microM. In addition, 150 micrograms/ml (approximately 12 microM) heparin displaced 50% of bound [3H]-Ins1,4,5-P3, whereas caffeine (10 mM) had little effect. Functional reconstitution of solubilized InsP3Rs into lipid bilayers revealed that Ca2+ was a necessary co-agonist for activation of the InsP3R. When InsP3 (5 microM) and Ca2+ (5 microM) were applied together, conductance steps were observed. InsP3 or Ca2+ alone had little effect. These results suggest that the subcellular organization of InsP3Rs and the facilitation of InsP3 binding and channel opening by Ca2+ contribute to the Ins1,4,5-P3-mediated Ca2+ spikes, waves, and oscillations observed in Xenopus oocytes.

Abstract
Human parturition is associated with profound changes in uterine connective tissue affecting mainly the cervix, but the endocrine control of cervical ripening remains obscure. Connective tissue changes are also implicated in premature rupture of the membranes, a problem often associated with preterm delivery, and it is believed that local inflammatory infiltration may play a role in both this condition and cervical ripening, but it is difficult to define which changes precede parturition and which are a consequence of the trauma of labour. Chorioamnionitis can cause preterm labour by provoking the release of inflammatory mediators in the decidua/fetal membranes area and it is likely that activation of prostaglandin release by decidual macrophages is involved in triggering labour. However, the role of macrophages and other bone marrow derived cells in normal labour and in labour associated with chorioamnionitis needs to be defined. It is likely that treatment with a combination of antibiotics and prostaglandin synthase inhibitors and/or other anti-inflammatory drugs is the most appropriate therapeutic approach. Idiopathic preterm labour and spontaneous labour at term are probably due to changes in the sensitivity of the myometrium to endogenous agonists. Recent progress in cell signalling pathways, such as the characterization of regulatory G proteins and the cloning of hormone receptors, should clarify the mechanism of action of relaxing and contracting agents on myometrial cells and should provide the means for the development of new therapeutic agents of high effectiveness and selectivity. This approach should result in better management of both term and preterm labour.

Abstract
1. We have previously demonstrated that activation of M3 muscarinic receptors increases inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) accumulation in colonic smooth muscle. 2. In the present study, we demonstrate the existence of InsP3 and InsP4 binding sites in colonic circular smooth muscle by use of radioligand binding methods. Both [3H]-InsP3 and [3H]-InsP4 bound rapidly and reversibly to a single class of saturable sites in detergent-solubilized colonic membranes with affinities of 5.04 +/- 1.03 nM and 3.41 +/- 0.78 nM, respectively. The density of [3H]-InsP3 binding sites was 335.3 +/- 19.3 fmol mg-1 protein which was approximately 2.5 fold greater than that of [3H]-InsP4 sites (127.3 +/- 9.1 fmol mg-1 protein). 3. The two high affinity inositol phosphate binding sites exhibited markedly different pH optima for binding of each radioligand. At pH 9.0, specific [3H]-InsP3 binding was maximal, whereas [3H]-InsP4 binding was only 10% that of [3H]-InsP3. Conversely, at pH 5.0, [3H]-InsP4 binding was maximal, while [3H]-InsP3 binding was reduced to 15% of its binding at pH 9.0. 4. InsP3 was about 20 fold less potent (KI = 50.7 +/- 8.3 nM) than InsP4 in competing for [3H]-InsP4 binding sites and could compete for only 60% of [3H]-InsP4 specific binding. InsP4 was also capable of high affinity competition with [3H]-InsP3 binding (KI = 103.5 +/- 1.5 nM), and could compete for 100% of [3H]-InsP3 specific binding. 5. [3H]-InsP3 binding in subcellular fractions separated by discontinuous sucrose density gradients followed NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity, suggesting an intracellular localization for the majority of InsP3 receptors in this tissue, whereas [3H]-InsP4 binding appeared to be equally distributed between plasma membrane and intracellular membrane populations.6. These results suggest the existence of distinct and specific InsP3 and InsP4 binding sites which may represent the physiological receptors for these second messengers; differences in the subcellular distribution of these receptors may contribute to differences in their putative physiological roles.

Abstract
Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors in adrenal cortical and cerebellar membranes can be distinguished by their affinities for Ins(1,4,5)P3 as well as the potencies with which heparin and Mg2+ inhibit binding. We have found that the differences in Ins(1,4,5)P3 affinity and heparin inhibition are maintained upon receptor solubilization and purification. In contrast to this, heparin-agarose affinity purification of solubilized cerebellar receptors reduces the potency of Mg2+ inhibition to that in adrenal cortex. These results suggest that Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors in adrenal cortex are structurally distinct from those in cerebellum. Monoclonal antibodies raised against C- and N-terminal regions of mouse cerebellar Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors recognize 250-300-kDa proteins in both rat cerebellum and bovine adrenal cortex.

Abstract
Following a preincubation period of 10 min, disulfiram and its analogues FLA 46, FLA 63, FLA 99, EWP 815 and EWP 840 inhibited the breakdown of 10 microM [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 by Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase from GH3 cells, with IC50 values (in microM), for soluble/particulate enzymes respectively, of: disulfiram, 24/24; FLA 46, 23/30; FLA 63, 24/6; FLA 99, 50/48; EWP 815, 8/6; EWP 840, 11/8. The inhibition produced by FLA 99 was time-dependent in nature, although inhibition was found in the absence of a preincubation period. EWP 815 and EWP 840 were more potent inhibitors of Ins(1,4)P2 phosphatase than of Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH; 3/100 microM)-stimulated inositol phospholipid breakdown in prelabelled GH3 cells was inhibited by disulfiram (IC50 values 63/52 microM respectively), FLA 46 (89/110 microM), EWP 815 (83/71 microM) and EWP 840 (220/200 microM), without affecting basal breakdown rates. FLA 99 did not inhibit either basal or TRH-stimulated activity at any of the concentrations tested (30, 100 and 300 microM). [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to its cerebellar receptor was not inhibited by any of the compounds over a concentration range of 3-300 microM, although an increased level of binding was seen at high concentrations. FLA 99 and EWP 840 increased the basal intracellular Ca2+ concentration in GH3 cells, but with no corresponding effect on the Ca2+ response to TRH stimulation. These compounds did not increase the cellular permeability to Trypan Blue, but did affect cell proliferation. It is concluded that disulfiram and related compounds produce dramatic effects on Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism in GH3 cells.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of inositol trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release from the internal Ca2+ store, we examined the effects of heparin, phorbol ester and cyclic nucleotides on Ca2+ release induced by carbachol or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3). For monitoring changes of Ca2+ we used the fluorescent indicator, fura-2, in electropermeabilized rat pancreatic acini. An amount of 100 micrograms/ml heparin inhibited the Ca2+ release induced by 1 microM 1,4,5-IP3 in permeabilized acini. Pretreatment with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for 10 min reduced the release of Ca2+ induced by 10 microM carbachol and 1 microM 1,4,5-IP3 in permeabilized acini. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, blocked the inhibitory effect of TPA. Cytosolic calcium concentration was restored by staurosporine in TPA-treated acini. Although cyclic AMP exaggerated the amylase release induced by carbachol, cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP had no effect on the carbachol-induced release of Ca2+ in permeabilized acini. These findings suggest that protein kinase C may act at the level of the IP3 receptors or the IP3-operated Ca2+ channels of the internal Ca2+ store and indicate that cyclic nucleotides do not affect the IP3-induced release of Ca2+ in rat pancreatic acini.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor immunoreactivity in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells was monitored with a monoclonal antibody raised against the mouse cerebellar InsP3 receptor. Recognition of a protein corresponding to the InsP3 receptor (molecular mass, approximately 275 kDa) was inhibited markedly following exposure of cells to 0.1 mM carbachol. This effect was half-maximal and maximal at approximately 2 and approximately 6 h, respectively; was blocked by atropine; but was not mimicked by thapsigargin, K+, or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. However, the decrease in immunoreactivity following exposure of cells to carbachol for 5 h was blocked if the extracellular Ca2+ concentration was reduced from 1.3 mM to 200 nM. This manipulation also reduced markedly carbachol-induced increases in InsP3 concentration at 5 h. These data indicate that chronic muscarinic stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis reduces InsP3 receptor concentration in SH-SY5Y cells, perhaps via a mechanism that involves prolonged elevation of InsP3 levels.

Abstract
A group of proteins binding to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) has been identified in rat liver microsomes by a nitrocellulose blot-overlay technique. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE, blotted on nitrocellulose and incubated with [32P]IP3 followed by autoradiography. Approximately eight IP3-binding polypeptides ranging M(r) 23-50 kDA were present exclusively in microsomes; these were absent from plasma membrane and mitochondrial fractions. Binding of [32P]IP3 to these proteins was displaceable to a great extent by 5 microM unlabeled IP3 but not by 10 microM IP1, IP2, IP4, ATP, or GTP gamma S. These results suggest that liver microsomes contain multiple forms of IP3-binding proteins that can be detected by this new method.

Abstract
This review examines the ionic mechanisms underlying acetylcholine (Ach) depolarization of airway smooth muscle and suggests that multiple mechanisms are involved. Increased chloride and nonspecific cation conductance, and decreased or rapidly inactivating potassium conductances seem to be involved. Chloride ions also seem to play an important role in determining whether Ca2+ remains inside or is replenished in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The physiological role of Ach-induced depolarization is analysed and is suggested to be the promotion of the refilling of Ca2+ stores, partly through a direct refilling of SR-Ca2+ stores by way of an L-type Ca2+ channel. This refilling is promoted by Ca2+ channel agonists and is independent of the transmembrane potential. Ca(2+)-release by a variety of agonists leads to depolarization and stable membrane oscillations which depend on the action of the Ca(2+)-store uptake mechanisms in order to function. These oscillations may play a role in prolonged bronchoconstriction. Better knowledge of the control mechanisms of Cai2+ is likely to reveal new targets for the therapy of asthma and provide a better understanding of the function of airway smooth muscle.

Abstract
Molecular, biochemical and physiological evidence for the existence of releasable Ca2+ stores in neurons is strong. There are two separate molecules that function as release channels from those Ca2+ stores, the RyanR and InsP3R, and both have multiple regulatory sites for positive and negative control. Perhaps most intriguing is the biphasic, concentration-dependent action of cytosolic Ca2+ on both channels, first to stimulate release then, at higher concentration, to depress release. Whether the InsP3R and RyanR channels regulate Ca2+ release from different or identical functional compartments will need to be defined for each neuron type and perhaps even for each intracellular region within neurons since the evidence for functional separation of stores is mixed. The identification of Ca2+ storage and releasing capacity throughout all subcellular regions of neurons and the increasing evidence for a role for Ca2+ stores in neuronal plasticity suggests that the further characterization of the functional properties of Ca2+ stores will be an increasingly important and expanding area of interest in neurobiology.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) induced Ca2+ release in digitonin permeabilized rat pancreatic acinar cells is specifically inhibited by decavanadate. The Ca2+ release induced with 0.18 microM IP3 is half maximally inhibited with approximately 5 microM decavanadate. Complete inhibition is achieved with around 20 microM decavanadate. Removal of decavanadate from the permeabilized cells fully restores sensitivity towards IP3, indicating the reversibility of the inhibition. Oligovanadate, which inhibits ATP dependent Ca2+ uptake into intracellular stores, does not influence IP3 induced Ca2+ release. In order to reveal the mechanism underlying the effects of the different vanadate species, binding of IP3 to the same cellular preparations was investigated. We found that binding of IP3 to a high affinity receptor site (Kd approx. 1.2 nM) could be abolished by decavanadate but not by oligovanadate. With 0.5 microM decavanadate, IP3 binding was half maximally inhibited. A similar potency of decavanadate was also found with adrenal cortex microsomes which bind IP3 with the same affinity (Kd approx. 1.4 nM) as permeabilized pancreatic acinar cells. Labelled IP3 was displaced from these subcellular membranes with similar kinetics by unlabelled IP3 and decavanadate. The data suggest that the inhibitory action of decavanadate on IP3 induced Ca2+ release is a consequence of its effect on binding of IP3 to its receptor.

Abstract
The effect of extracellular Na+ on Ca++ influx in activated human platelets was evaluated with two methods. One method employed computer-aided subtraction of the time course of intracellular Ca++ changes in the absence of extracellular Ca++ from that observed in the presence of extracellular Ca++. The other utilized intracellular Ca++ elevation following the addition of Ca++ to a platelet suspension already activated by thrombin in the absence of extracellular Ca++. Both methods demonstrated that depletion of extracellular Na+ significantly attenuated Ca++ influx in activated platelets. That extracellular Na+ modifies the opening state of Ca++ channels was further substantiated with an experiment with Sr++ instead of Ca++. A flow cytometric study confirmed the validity of these experiments. Neither Na+/H+ exchange nor changes in the membrane potential appeared to be related to the effect of extracellular Na+ on Ca++ influx, and the mechanism by which extracellular Na+ permits Ca++ mobilization remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
We and others have shown that the binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to its receptor is pH-sensitive and can be inhibited by Mg2+. In the present study we have used 1H- and 31P-n.m.r. spectroscopy to study whether these effects results from increased ionization of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and a direct interaction with Mg2+ respectively. Under near-physiological conditions of ionic strength (100 mM-KCl), three ionizable groups were observed. The pH titration curve of the 1-phosphate was monophasic, with a pKa of 6.3. The titration curves of the 4- and 5-phosphates were biphasic, suggesting that these groups interact; the pKa values for the 4-phosphate determined by 31P-n.m.r. were 5.7 and 7.8, and for the 5-phosphate they were 5.3 and 7.9. 1H- and 31P-n.m.r. measurements suggest that Mg2+ binds weakly to Ins(1,4,5)P3 at physiological pH. Mg2+ non-competitively inhibited binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to its receptor in rat cerebellum and bovine adrenal cortex. Inhibition curves for rat cerebellum at pH 7.1 and 8.5, and also for bovine adrenal cortex at pH 8.5, appeared to be monophasic, with IC50 values (concn. of displacer giving 50% inhibition of specific binding) of 214 microM, 572 microM and 9.1 mM respectively. Scatchard analysis revealed that Mg2+ inhibited binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to bovine adrenal cortex at pH 8.5 in a non-competitive manner. Our results suggest that the previously reported pH-sensitivity of the binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3 may be caused by ionization of the phosphate groups in positions 4 and 5, and that the ability of Mg2+ to inhibit the binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3 is not mediated by direct chelation but through a site located on, or close to, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. Inhibition by Mg2+ is pH-sensitive and can vary at least 10-fold between tissues, suggesting possible receptor heterogeneity. Mg2+ may exert an important regulatory control on the release of Ca2+ by Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Abstract
Release of calcium from intracellular stores occurs by two pathways, an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-gated channel and a calcium-gated channel (ryanodine receptor). Using specific antibodies, both receptors were found in Purkinje cells of cerebellum. We have now compared the functional properties of the channels corresponding to the two receptors by incorporating endoplasmic reticulum vesicles from canine cerebellum into planar bilayers. InsP3-gated channels were observed most frequently. Another channel type was activated by adenine nucleotides or caffeine, inhibited by ruthenium red, and modified by ryanodine, characteristics of the ryanodine receptor/channel6. The open probability of both channel types displayed a bell-shaped curve for dependence on calcium. For the InsP3-gated channel, the maximum probability of opening occurred at 0.2 microM free calcium, with sharp decreases on either side of the maximum. Maximum activity for the ryanodine receptor/channel was maintained between 1 and 100 microM calcium. Thus, within the physiological range of cytoplasmic calcium, the InsP3-gated channel itself allows positive feedback and then negative feedback for calcium release, whereas the ryanodine receptor/channel behaves solely as a calcium-activated channel. The existence in the same cell of two channels with different responses to calcium and different ligand sensitivities provides a basis for complex patterns of intracellular calcium regulation.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) is a soluble intracellular messenger formed rapidly after activation of a variety of cell-surface receptors that stimulate phosphoinositidase C activity. The initial response to Ins(1,4,5)P3 is a rapid Ca2+ efflux from nonmitochondrial intracellular stores which are probably specialized subcompartments of the endoplasmic reticulum, although their exact identities remain unknown. This initial response is followed by more complex Ca2+ signals: regenerative Ca2+ waves propagate across the cell, repetitive Ca2+ spikes occur, and stimulated Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane contributes to the sustained Ca2+ signal. The mechanisms underlying these complex Ca2+ signals are unknown, although Ins(1,4,5)P3 is clearly involved. The intracellular receptor that mediates Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization has been purified and functionally reconstituted, and its amino acid sequence deduced from its cDNA sequence. These studies demonstrate that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor has an integral Ca2+ channel separated from the Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding site by a long stretch of residues some of which form binding sites for allosteric regulators, and some of which are substrates for phosphorylation. In this review, we discuss the ligand recognition characteristics of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors, and their functional properties in their native environment and after purification, and we relate these properties to what is known of the structure of the receptor. In addition to regulation by Ins(1,4,5)P3, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor is subject to many additional regulatory influences which include Ca2+, adenine nucleotides, pH and phosphorylation by protein kinases. Many of the functional and structural characteristics of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor show striking similarities to another intracellular Ca2+ channel, the ryanodine receptor. These properties of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 are discussed, and their possible roles in contributing to the complex Ca2+ signals evoked by extracellular stimuli are considered.

Abstract
High affinity Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding sites of permeabilized hepatocytes are probably the ligand recognition sites of the receptors that mediate the effects of Ins(1,4,5)P3 on intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. We have now solubilized these sites from rat liver membranes in the zwitterionic detergent, CHAPS, and shown that the solubilized sites bind Ins(1,4,5)P3 with an affinity (Kd = 7.26 +/- 0.52 nM, Hill coefficient h = 1.05 +/- 0.06) similar to that of the sites in native membranes (Kd = 6.02 +/- 1.57 nM, h = 0.99 +/- 0.02). ATP and a range of inositol phosphates (Ins(2,4,5)P3 Ins(4,5)P2, and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate) also bound with similar affinities to the native and solubilized sites. Solubilization of the liver InsP3 receptor will allow its further characterization, purification, and comparison of its properties with those of InsP3 receptors already purified from cerebellum and smooth muscle.
