Abstract
Oomycetes are pathogens of plants and animals, which cause billions of dollars of global losses to the agriculture, aquaculture and forestry sectors each year. These organisms superficially resemble fungi, with an archetype being Phytophthora infestans, the cause of late blight of tomatoes and potatoes. Comparison of the physiology of oomycetes with that of other organisms, such as plants and animals, may provide new routes to selectively combat these pathogens. In most eukaryotes, myo-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate is a key second messenger that links extracellular stimuli to increases in cytoplasmic Ca2+, to regulate cellular activities. In the work presented in this study, investigation of the molecular components of myo-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate signaling in oomycetes has unveiled similarities and differences with that in other eukaryotes. Most striking is that several oomycete species lack detectable phosphoinositide-selective phospholipase C homologues, the enzyme family that generates this second messenger, but still possess relatives of myo-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate-gated Ca2+-channels.

Abstract
Inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) 3-kinases (Itpks) catalyze the phosphorylation of inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate into inositol(1,3,4,5)tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4). Three isoenzymes Itpka/b and c have been identified in human, rat and mouse. They share a catalytic domain relatively well conserved at the C-terminal end and a quite isoenzyme specific regulatory domain at the N-terminal end of the protein. Activity determined in cell homogenates with Ins(1,4,5)P3 and ATP as substrate is generally very low compared to Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase, except in a few tissues such as brain, testis, thymus or intestine. Activity is very much Ca(2+) sensitive and increased in the presence of Ca(2+)/calmodulin (CaM) as compared to EGTA alone. When challenged after receptor activation, activity could be further activated several fold, e.g. in rat brain cortical slices stimulated by carbachol or in human astrocytoma cells stimulated by purinergic agonists. Two of the three isoenzymes show an unexpected cytoskeletal localization for Itpka/b or at the leading edge for Itpkb. This is explained by the presence of an F-actin binding site at the N-terminal part of the two isoenzymes. This interaction confers to Itpka the properties of an F-actin bundling protein with two major consequences: i) it can reorganize the cytoskeletal network, particularly in dendritic spines, and ii) can provide an opportunity for Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 to act very locally as second messenger.

Regulation of NGF-driven neurite outgrowth by Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase is specifically associated with the two isoenzymes Itpka and Itpkb in a model of PC12 cells. FEBS J 2015; 282:2553-69.

Abstract
Four inositol phosphate kinases catalyze phosphorylation of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3 ] to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 ]: these enzymes comprise three isoenzymes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase (Itpk), referred to as Itpka, Itpkb and Itpkc, and the inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK). The four enzymes that act on Ins(1,4,5)P3 are all expressed in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, a model that is used to study neurite outgrowth induced by nerve growth factor (NGF). We compared the effect of over-expression of the four GFP-tagged kinases on NGF-induced neurite outgrowth. Our data show that over-expression of the Itpka and Itpkb isoforms inhibits NGF-induced neurite outgrowth, but over-expression of Itpkc and IPMK does not. Surprisingly, over-expression of the N-terminal F-actin binding domain of Itpka, which lacks catalytic activity, was as effective at inhibiting neurite outgrowth as the full-length enzyme. Neurite length was also significantly decreased in cells over-expressing Itpka and Itpkb but not Itpkc or IPMK. This result did not depend on the over-expression level of any of the kinases. PC12 cells over-expressing GFP-tagged kinase-dead mutants Itpka/b have shorter neurites than GFP control cells. The decrease in neurite length was never as pronounced as observed with wild-type GFP-tagged Itpka/b. Finally, the percentage of neurite-bearing cells was increased in cells over-expressing the membranous type I Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. We conclude that Itpka and Itpkb inhibit neurite outgrowth through both F-actin binding and localized Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase activity. Itpkc and IPMK do not influence neurite outgrowth or neurite length in this model.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase regulation by Ca2+/calmodulin involves multiple protein–protein interactions, which form a highly hydrophobic interface and defines a new calmodulin-binding motif. The structural data support that calmodulin binds to an autoinhibitory segment facilitating the kinase activity.

Abstract
The levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] in the cytoplasm are tightly regulated by two enzymes, Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and type I Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. The catalytic domain of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase (isoenzymes A, B and C) is restricted to approximately 275 amino acids at the C-terminal end. We were interested in understanding the catalytic mechanism of this key family of enzymes in order to exploit this in inhibitor design. We expressed the catalytic domain of rat Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A in Escherichia coli as a His- and S-tagged fusion protein. The purified enzyme was used in an Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase assay to phosphorylate a series of inositol phosphate analogues with three or four phosphate groups. A synthetic route to D-2-deoxy-Ins(1,4,5)P3 was devised. D-2-Deoxy-Ins(1,4,5)P3 and D-3-deoxy-Ins(1,4,6)P3 were potent inhibitors of the enzyme, with IC50 values in the micromolar range. Amongst all analogues tested, only D-2-deoxy-Ins(1,4,5)P3 appears to be a good substrate of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Therefore, the axial 2-hydroxy group of Ins(1,4,5)P3 is not involved in recognition of the substrate nor does it participate in the phosphorylation mechanism of Ins(1,4,5)P3. In contrast, the equatorial 3-hydroxy function must be present in that configuration for phosphorylation to occur. Our data indicate the importance of the 3-hydroxy function in the mechanism of inositol trisphosphate phosphorylation rather than in substrate binding.

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
Mammalian cells produce a variety of inositol phosphates (InsPs), including Ins(1,4,5)P3 that serves both as a second messenger and as a substrate for inositol polyphosphate kinases (IPKs), which further phosphorylate it. We report the structure of an IPK, the human Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase-A, both free and in complexes with substrates and products. This enzyme catalyzes transfer of a phosphate from ATP to the 3-OH of Ins(1,4,5)P3, and its X-ray crystal structure provides a template for understanding a broad family of InsP kinases. The catalytic domain consists of three lobes. The N and C lobes bind ATP and resemble protein and lipid kinases, despite insignificant sequence similarity. The third lobe binds inositol phosphate and is a unique four-helix insertion in the C lobe. This lobe embraces all of the phosphates of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in a positively charged pocket, explaining the enzyme's substrate specificity and its inability to phosphorylate PtdIns(4,5)P2, the membrane-resident analog of Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase, and more generally inositol polyphosphate kinases (Ipk), play important roles in signal transduction in animal cells; however, their functions in plant cells remain to be elucidated. Here, we report the molecular cloning of a cDNA (AtIpk2beta) from a higher plant, Arabidopsis. Arabidopsis AtIpk2beta is a 33-kD protein that exhibits weak homology ( approximately 25% identical amino acids) with Ipk proteins from animals and yeast and lacks a calmodulin binding site, as revealed by sequence analysis and calmodulin binding assays. However, recombinant AtIpk2beta phosphorylates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate and also converts it to inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P(5)]. AtIpk2beta also phosphorylates inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate to Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P(5). Thus, the enzyme is a D3/D6 dual-specificity inositol phosphate kinase. AtIpk2beta complements a yeast ARG82/IPK2 mutant lacking a functional ArgR-Mcm1 transcription complex. This complex is involved in regulating Arg metabolism-related gene expression and requires inositol polyphosphate kinase activity to function. AtIpk2beta was found to be located predominantly in the nucleus of plant cells, as demonstrated by immunolocalization and fusion to green fluorescent protein. RNA gel blot analysis and promoter-beta-glucuronidase reporter gene studies demonstrated AtIpk2beta gene expression in various organs tested. These data suggest a role for AtIpk2beta as a transcriptional control mediator in plants.

Abstract
In seeking genetic factors that may control the extended behavioural maturation of adult honeybees we found that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) 3-kinase, a key enzyme in the IP(3)-mediated signalling cascade, is differentially expressed in brains of naive, newly emerged bees and experienced foragers. DNA sequencing yielded a contig of 21.5 kb spanning the honeybee IP(3)K locus and a 3' flanking gene similar to a transcription factor NFR-kappa-B. The IP(3)K locus gives rise to three differentially expressed major transcripts produced by alternative splicing that encode proteins with identical, highly conserved C-termini and distinct, non-conserved N-terminal domains. The type A transcript is dominant in the adult brain and its level of expression increases threefold during the first 4 days of adult development. The type B message is expressed in brains of naive bees, but is also found in the thorax and abdomen, whereas transcript C is expressed largely in non-neural tissues and in the antenna. In contrast to type A message, the brain levels of transcript B decrease during the first 4 days of adult life. Our data are evaluated in the context of the contrasting behavioural phenotypes of immature and experienced worker honeybees.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] 3-kinase catalyses the phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4). cDNAs encoding two isoenzymes of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 3-kinase (3-kinases A and B) have been described previously. In the present study, we report the cloning of a full-length 2052 bp cDNA encoding a third human isoenzyme of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 3-kinase family, referred to as isoform C. This novel enzyme has a calculated molecular mass of 75. 207 kDa and a K(m) for Ins(1,4,5)P(3) of 6 microM. Northern-blot analysis showed the presence of a transcript of approx. 3.9 kb in various human tissues. Inositol trisphosphate 3-kinase C demonstrates enzymic activity when expressed in DH5alphaF' bacteria or COS-7 cells. Calcium alone decreases the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 3-kinase activity of the 3-kinase C isoenzyme in transfected COS-7 cells. This inhibitory effect is reversed in the presence of calmodulin. The recombinant bacterial 3-kinase C can be adsorbed on calmodulin-Sepharose in the presence of calcium. The present data show that Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 3-kinase C: (i) shares a conserved catalytic domain of about 275 amino acids with the two other mammalian isoforms, (ii) could be purified on a calmodulin-Sepharose column and (iii) could be distinguished from the A and B isoenzymes by the effects of calcium and of calmodulin.

Abstract
A segment of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase responsible for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) binding was characterized and confirmed by three different approaches employing the fully active expressed catalytic domain of the enzyme. Part of this moiety was protected from limited tryptic proteolysis by InsP(3). Sequencing of two fragments of 16 and 21 kDa, generated in the absence or presence of InsP(3), respectively, identified segment Glu-271 to Arg-305 as being protected. 15 monoclonal antibodies, all binding to epitopes within this region, inhibited enzyme activity and interfered with inositol phosphate binding. Detailed enzyme kinetic parameters of 32 site-directed mutants revealed residues Arg-276 and Lys-303 in this segment and Arg-322, located nearby, as directly involved in and five other closely neighbored residues, all located within a segment of 73 amino acids, as also influencing InsP(3) binding. Part of this region is similar in sequence to an InsP(3) binding segment in InsP(3) receptors. Combined with the finding that mutants influencing only ATP binding all lie outside this region, these data indicate that an InsP(3) binding core domain is inserted between two segments acting together in ATP binding and phosphate transfer.

Abstract
Based on the partial peptide sequence of inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate 3-kinase purified with 135 000-fold enrichment from chicken erythrocytes, cDNA-fragments were cloned by RT-PCR using degenerate oligonucleotides. Subsequent hybridization screening of an embryonic chicken cDNA library and 5'-RACE yielded a cDNA-contig of 2418 bp, encoding a 452 amino acid protein. The amino acid sequence shows the highest degree of homology with A-isoforms of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase (65% identities), whereas homology towards B and C isoforms was lower (57% and 52% amino acid identities respectively). These findings reveal a new tissue-specific pattern of A-isoform expression, a form which so far has only been found in brain and testes. Two overlapping lambda-genomic clones for chicken inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase, isolated by hybridization screening, covered 18 499 bp of genomic sequence. This contig included four exons: three of them were present in all cDNA clones, whereas one was only represented in a single cDNA clone. In addition, the sequence of the latter differed from the other cDNAs by an in-frame deletion of 72 bp within the coding region for the catalytic domain of the enzyme. This divergent cDNA suggests the existence of alternative splice products, at least in embryonic tissue.A comparison of the position of introns, with the respective introns known from the corresponding gene from Caenorhabditis elegans, revealed a high degree of conservation of intron positions between vertebrates and invertebrates. Functional data for the enzyme suggests that the conserved exons represent defined functional protein modules.

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
We have expressed rat myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) 3-kinase B as both a full-length, recombinant, non-fusion protein and a full-length, recombinant, fusion protein with maltose-binding protein (MBP) in Escherichia coli. The fusion protein with MBP is soluble, binds calmodulin and is enzymically active whereas the non-fusion protein is insoluble and does not bind calmodulin unless co-expressed with bacterial chaperone proteins (either GroES and GroEL, or DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE). However, soluble, calmodulin-binding non-fusion IP3 3-kinase B is enzymically inactive. The catalytic domain of the enzyme has previously been shown to reside near the C-terminus; the results we present suggest an auto-regulatory role for the N-terminus.

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
In an earlier study a mutant Dictyostelium cell-line (plc-) was constructed in which all phospholipase C activity was disrupted and nonfunctional, yet these cells had nearly normal Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels (Drayer, A.L., Van Der Kaay, J., Mayr, G.W, Van Haastert, P.J.M. (1990) EMBO J. 13, 1601-1609). We have now investigated if these cells have a phospholipase C-independent de novo pathway of Ins(1,4,5)P3 synthesis. We found that homogenates of plc- cells produce Ins(1,4,5)P3 from endogenous precursors. The enzyme activities that performed these reactions were located in the particulate cell fraction, whereas the endogenous substrate was soluble and could be degraded by phytase. We tested various potential inositol polyphosphate precursors and found that the most efficient were Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, and Ins(1,4,5,6)P4. The utilization of Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5, which can be formed independently of phospholipase C by direct phosphorylation of inositol (Stephens, L.R. and Irvine, R.F. (1990) Nature 346, 580-582), provides Dictyostelium with an alternative and novel pathway of de novo Ins(1,4,5)P3 synthesis. We further discovered that Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 was converted to Ins(1,4,5)P3 via both Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and Ins(1,4,5,6)P4. In the absence of calcium no Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation could be observed; half-maximal activity was observed at low micromolar calcium concentrations. These reaction steps could also be performed by a single enzyme purified from rat liver, namely, the multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase. These data indicate that organisms as diverse as rat and Dictyostelium possess enzyme activities capable of synthesizing the second messengers Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 via a novel phospholipase C-independent pathway.

Abstract
The dephosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) to inositol 1,4-bisphosphate is catalyzed by InsP3 5-phosphatase. The coding region of human brain type I InsP3 5-phosphatase was expressed as a fusion protein with the maltose-binding protein (MBP) in Escherichia coli, using the pMAL-cR1 vector. The relative molecular mass of the purified fusion protein (MBP-InsP3-5-phosphatase) was approximately M(r) 85,000 as analysed by SDS/PAGE. The yield was about 10 mg fusion protein/l lysate. After cleavage from MBP with factor Xa, the specific activity of recombinant 5-phosphatase was 120-250 mumol.mg-1.min-1. The molecular mass of purified protein by SDS/PAGE was M(r) 43,000. The activity was inactivated by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. The possibility that protein kinase C might phosphorylate InsP3 5-phosphatase was tested on the purified 43,000 M(r) protein. In this study, we show that recombinant 5-phosphatase is not a substrate of protein kinase C.

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
Chemical modification by phenylglyoxal, an arginine-specific reagent, of both native and recombinant rat brain inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] 3-kinase A was accompanied by irreversible inhibition of enzyme activity. This effect was prevented in the presence of the substrate ATP but not Ins(1,4,5)P3. The modification reaction obeyed pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. Complete inhibition of activity corresponded to incorporation of 1.2 mol of phenylglyoxal per mol of protein. A single [14C]phenylglyoxal-modified peptide was isolated following alpha-chymotrypsin digestion of the radiolabelled Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and reverse-phase HPLC. ATP prevented the incorporation of radioactivity to this peptide. The peptide sequence (i.e. QWREGISSSTTL) corresponded to amino acids 315 to 326 of rat brain Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A. An estimate of the radioactivity of the different phenylthiohydantoin amino acid derivative showed the modified amino acid to be Arg-317. The data directly identify a reactive arginine residue as part of the ATP-binding site. Arg-317 is located within a sequence segment which is conserved among the catalytic domain of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase isoenzymes A and B in human and rat species.

Abstract
Many short-lived proteins which are devoid of proteolytic activity contain PEST sequences which are segments along the polypeptide chain that are rich in proline (P), glutamate (E), serine (S) and threonine (T). These designated PEST sequences are believed to be putative intramolecular signals for rapid proteolytic degradation. Calmodulin is a ubiquitous, 17 kDa, acidic Ca(2+)-binding protein which plays an important role in the regulation of many physiological processes through its interaction with a wide range of calmodulin-binding proteins. Several calmodulin-binding proteins are known to contain PEST sequences and are susceptible to proteolysis by endogenous neutral proteases such as calpain I and calpain II. In this report, we discuss the functions of PEST sequences in calmodulin-binding proteins and assess the correlation between calmodulin-binding proteins and PEST sequences.

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
We determined the amino acid sequence responsible for the calmodulin (CaM)-binding ability of mouse type 1 Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor (IP3R1). We expressed various parts of IP3R1 from deleted cDNA and examined their CaM-binding ability. It was shown that the sequence stretching from Lys-1564 to Arg-1585 is necessary for the binding. The full-length IP3R1 with replacement of Trp-1576 by Ala lost its CaM-binding ability. Antibody against residues 1564-1585 of IP3R1 inhibited cerebellar IP3R1 from binding CaM. The fluorescence spectrum of the peptide that corresponds to residues 1564-1585 shifted when Ca(2+)-CaM was added. From the change in the fluorescence spectrum, we estimated the dissociation constant (KD) between the peptide and CaM to be 0.7 microM. The submicromolar value of KD suggests an actual interaction between CaM and IP3R1 within cells. The CaM-binding ability of other types of IP3Rs was also examined. A part of the type 2IP3R, including the region showing sequence identity with the CaM-binding domain of IP3R1, also bound CaM, while the expressed full-length type 3 IP3R did not.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 (InsP3) to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 (InsP4) is catalysed by InsP3 3-kinase. Molecular-biological data have shown the presence of two human isoenzymes of InsP3 3-kinase, namely InsP3 3-kinases A and B. We have isolated from a rat thymus cDNA library a 2235 bp cDNA (clone B15) encoding rat InsP3 3-kinase B. Northern-blot analysis of mRNA isolated from rat tissues (thymus, testis, brain, spleen, liver, kidney, heart, lung and intestine) revealed that a rat InsP3 3-kinase B probe hybridized to a 6 kb mRNA in lung, thymus, testis, brain and heart. In contrast, Northern-blot analysis of the same tissues probed under stringent conditions with a rat InsP3 3-kinase A probe hybridized to a 2 kb mRNA only in brain and a 1.8-2.0 kb mRNA species in testis. Northern-blot analysis of three human cell lines (HL-60, SH-SY5Y and HTB-138) probed with a human InsP3 3-kinase B probe showed the presence of a 6 kb mRNA in all cell lines, except in the human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y), where two mRNA species of 5.7 and 6 kb were detected. Using the same blot, no hybridization signal could be seen with a human InsP3 3-kinase A probe. Altogether, our data are consistent with the notion that the two InsP3 3-kinase isoenzymes, A and B, are specifically expressed in different tissues and cells.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase (InsP3 3-kinase) plays a crucial role in calcium homeostasis by regulating InsP3 levels. We have reported the highest concentrations of InsP3 3-kinase in the dendrites of cerebellar Purkinje cells and hippocampal pyramidal cells of the CA1 sector of the Ammon's horn. We here investigate its subcellular localization by pre- and post-embedding immunoelectron microscopic study. In both populations of neurons, the major structure expressing a high level of InsP3 3-kinase is the dendritic spines.

Abstract
Details of the widely employed PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis receptor-stimulated signalling pathway continue to be elucidated rapidly. However, it has recently become apparent that numerous other inositol lipids and phosphates are widespread and are likely to have important cellular functions. In this review, we focus particularly on three rapidly progressing areas: the synthesis and possible functions of 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids, particularly phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate; the roles of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate in coordinating intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and Ca2+ influx in stimulated cells; and the metabolism and possible functions of other inositol polyphosphates and of inositol polyphosphate pyrophosphates.

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 brain inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase A was expressed in Escherichia coli in order to identify the amino acid residues involved in substrate ATP/Mg2+ binding. Two amino acid regions that are conserved in the catalytic domain of InsP3 3-kinase isoenzymes A and B had characteristics consistent with two ATP/Mg(2+)-binding motives. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed on residues Lys-197, Lys-207 and Asp-414 to generate three mutant enzymes, referred to as C5 K197I, C5 K207I and C5 D414N. Comparison of the wild-type and mutant proteins with regard to enzymic activity revealed that C5 K197I exhibited 10% of control enzyme activity, C5 D414N was totally inactive and C5 K207I was fully active. The reduced levels of enzyme activity for C5 K197I and C5 D414N were correlated with an altered ability of the mutant enzymes to bind ATP/Mg2+, as determined by ATP-agarose affinity chromatography. Neither Ca2+/calmodulin binding nor InsP3 binding appeared to be affected. Mutant C5 K207I showed the same characteristics as the wild-type enzyme. Taken together, these results strongly indicated (i) that amino acid residues Lys-197 and Asp-414 are necessary for InsP3 3-kinase activity and form part of the ATP/Mg(2+)-binding domain, and (ii) that amino acid residues Lys-197, Lys-207 and Asp-414 are not involved in either InsP3 binding or enzyme stimulation by Ca2+/calmodulin.

Abstract
As a result of its interaction with a specific receptor, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) mobilizes intracellular calcium. The metabolism of InsP3 is rather complex: InsP3 3-kinase produces Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4), a putative second messenger also involved in the intraneuronal calcium homeostasis. The distribution of the messenger RNA coding for the recently cloned InsP3 3-kinase was studied in the developing rat brain by using oligonucleotides derived from the rat cDNA sequence and in situ hybridization combined with Northern blot analysis. In addition, the locations of the enzyme were determined by immunohistochemistry in combination with Western blot analysis. By Northern blot and Western blot analyses on rat brain, the kinase was not detected in the embryo, was first found slightly at birth, and reached adult levels around 2-3 postnatal weeks. These findings were confirmed in the different positive regions by in situ hybridization conducted at the macroscopic level. At the cellular level, the mRNA was found exclusively in the neuronal populations previously demonstrated in the adult. The levels of transcripts per neuron were however higher in the adult than in the neonate brain. The enzyme mRNA could be detected first at postnatal day 0, (birth, P0) in the perikarya of the cerebellar Purkinje cells, followed at P4 by the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells and granule cells of the dentate gyrus and finally, at P9, by a majority of the neurons in the cortical layers II-III and V, especially in the frontal cortex and cingulate cortex; claustrum; caudate, putamen, accumbens, olfactory tubercle and calleja islets; anterior olfactory nucleus; taenia tecta; piriform piriform cortex; dorsolateral septum; bed nucleus stria terminalis; amygdala; hippocampal CA2-4 sectors and subiculum. By immunohistochemistry, the enzyme was initially found in the periphery of the cell bodies of the neonatal neurons; was progressively enriched in the developing dendritic arborization during the first postnatal weeks where it remained exclusively localized in the adult. In conclusion, in the developing brain, InsP3 3-kinase was first detected at birth, and thereafter its concentrations increased to reach adult levels around 2-3 postnatal weeks. At the cellular level, the kinase was exclusively found in the neurons. The small amounts of transcripts found per neuron in the neonate increase during synaptogenesis and the protein became progressively enriched in the developing dendritic arborization, where it is localized in the adult.
