Abstract
Type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R1) is the predominant Ca2+-release channel in neurons. IP3R1 mediates Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol and thereby is involved in many physiological processes. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of full-length rat IP3R1 reconstituted in lipid nanodisc and detergent solubilized in the presence of phosphatidylcholine determined in ligand-free, closed states by single-particle electron cryo-microscopy. Notably, both structures exhibit the well-established IP3R1 protein fold and reveal a nearly complete representation of lipids with similar locations of ordered lipids bound to the transmembrane domains. The lipid-bound structures show improved features that enabled us to unambiguously build atomic models of IP3R1 including two membrane associated helices that were not previously resolved in the TM region. Our findings suggest conserved locations of protein-bound lipids among homotetrameric ion channels that are critical for their structural and functional integrity despite the diversity of structural mechanisms for their gating. 3D structure of full-length rat type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor reconstituted in lipid nanodisc is determined using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. The study suggests conserved locations of protein-bound lipids among structurally diverse, homo-tetrameric ion channels.

Ca 2+-regulated Ca 2+ channels with an RCK gating ring control plant symbiotic associations. Nat Commun 2019; 10:3703. [PMID: 31420535 PMCID: PMC6697748 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-11698-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2019] [Accepted: 07/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
A family of plant nuclear ion channels, including DMI1 (Does not Make Infections 1) and its homologs CASTOR and POLLUX, are required for the establishment of legume-microbe symbioses by generating nuclear and perinuclear Ca2+ spiking. Here we show that CASTOR from Lotus japonicus is a highly selective Ca2+ channel whose activation requires cytosolic/nucleosolic Ca2+, contrary to the previous suggestion of it being a K+ channel. Structurally, the cytosolic/nucleosolic ligand-binding soluble region of CASTOR contains two tandem RCK (Regulator of Conductance for K+) domains, and four subunits assemble into the gating ring architecture, similar to that of large conductance, Ca2+-gated K+ (BK) channels despite the lack of sequence similarity. Multiple ion binding sites are clustered at two locations within each subunit, and three of them are identified to be Ca2+ sites. Our in vitro and in vivo assays also demonstrate the importance of these gating-ring Ca2+ binding sites to the physiological function of CASTOR as well as DMI1. CASTOR is a Lotus japonicus ion channel required for nuclear Ca2+ spiking and establishing rhizobial and mycorrhizal symbioses. Here, via structural and functional analysis, Kim et al. show that CASTOR is a Ca2+-selective channel activated via Ca2+ binding to a soluble gating ring consisting of tandem RCK domains.

Role of KCa3.1 Channels in Modulating Ca 2+ Oscillations during Glioblastoma Cell Migration and Invasion. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19102970. [PMID: 30274242 PMCID: PMC6213908 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19102970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2018] [Revised: 09/21/2018] [Accepted: 09/25/2018] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Cell migration and invasion in glioblastoma (GBM), the most lethal form of primary brain tumors, are critically dependent on Ca2+ signaling. Increases of [Ca2+]i in GBM cells often result from Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), promoted by a variety of agents present in the tumor microenvironment and able to activate the phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate PLC/IP3 pathway. The Ca2+ signaling is further strengthened by the Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) currents sustained by Orai/STIM channels, meant to replenish the partially depleted ER. Notably, the elevated cytosolic [Ca2+]i activates the intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K (KCa3.1) channels highly expressed in the plasma membrane of GBM cells, and the resulting K+ efflux hyperpolarizes the cell membrane. This translates to an enhancement of Ca2+ entry through Orai/STIM channels as a result of the increased electromotive (driving) force on Ca2+ influx, ending with the establishment of a recurrent cycle reinforcing the Ca2+ signal. Ca2+ signaling in migrating GBM cells often emerges in the form of intracellular Ca2+ oscillations, instrumental to promote key processes in the migratory cycle. This has suggested that KCa3.1 channels may promote GBM cell migration by inducing or modulating the shape of Ca2+ oscillations. In accordance, we recently built a theoretical model of Ca2+ oscillations incorporating the KCa3.1 channel-dependent dynamics of the membrane potential, and found that the KCa3.1 channel activity could significantly affect the IP3 driven Ca2+ oscillations. Here we review our new theoretical model of Ca2+ oscillations in GBM, upgraded in the light of better knowledge of the KCa3.1 channel kinetics and Ca2+ sensitivity, the dynamics of the Orai/STIM channel modulation, the migration and invasion mechanisms of GBM cells, and their regulation by Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
Store-operated channels activated in response to intracellular calcium store depletion represent the main pathway of calcium entry from the extracellular space in nonelectroexcitable cells. Adapter proteins organize the components of this system into integral complex. We studied the influence of adapter proteins of the Homer family on endogenous store-operated calcium Imin channels in A431 cells. Monomeric Homer 1a proteins increase activity of Imin channels, but did not modulate their electrophysiological properties. Recombinant Homer 1c protein did not block the induced calcium currents.

Importance of Altered Levels of SERCA, IP 3R, and RyR in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell. Biophys J 2017; 112:265-287.

Abstract
Calcium cycling between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and the cytosol via the sarco-/endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase (SERCA) pump, inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R), and Ryanodine receptor (RyR), plays a major role in agonist-induced intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) dynamics in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Levels of these calcium handling proteins in SR get altered under disease conditions. We have developed a mathematical model to understand the significance of altered levels of SERCA, IP3R, and RyR on the intracellular calcium dynamics of VSMC and to understand how variation in protein levels that arise due to diabetes contribute to different VSMC behavior and thus vascular disease. SR is modeled as a single continuous entity with homogeneous intra-SR calcium. Model results show that agonist-induced intracellular calcium dynamics can be modified by changing the levels of SERCA, IP3R, and/or RyR. Lowering SERCA level will enable intracellular calcium oscillations at low agonist concentrations whereas lowered levels of IP3R and RyR need higher agonist concentration for intracellular calcium oscillations. This research suggests that reduced SERCA level is the main factor responsible for the reduced intracellular calcium transients and contractility in VSMCs.

Abstract
Lipid droplets are found in most organisms where they serve to store energy in the form of neutral lipids. They are formed at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane where the neutral-lipid-synthesizing enzymes are located. Recent results indicate that lipid droplets remain functionally connected to the ER membrane in yeast and mammalian cells to allow the exchange of both lipids and integral membrane proteins between the two compartments. The precise nature of the interface between the ER membrane and lipid droplets, however, is still ill-defined. Here, we probe the topology of lipid droplet biogenesis by artificially targeting proteins that have high affinity for lipid droplets to inside the luminal compartment of the ER. Unexpectedly, these proteins still localize to lipid droplets in both yeast and mammalian cells, indicating that lipid droplets are accessible from within the ER lumen. These data are consistent with a model in which lipid droplets form a specialized domain in the ER membrane that is accessible from both the cytosolic and the ER luminal side.

Abstract
A new approach is presented for the application of single-molecule imaging to membrane receptors through the use of vesicles derived from cells expressing fluorescently labeled receptors. During the isolation of vesicles, receptors remain embedded in the membrane of the resultant vesicles, thus allowing these vesicles to serve as nanocontainers for single-molecule measurements. Cell-derived vesicles maintain the structural integrity of transmembrane receptors by keeping them in their physiological membrane. It was demonstrated that receptors isolated in these vesicles can be studied with solution-based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and can be isolated on a solid substrate for single-molecule studies. This technique was applied to determine the stoichiometry of α3β4 nicotinic receptors. The method provides the capability to extend single-molecule studies to previously inaccessible classes of receptors.

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

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

Abstract
InsP(3)-mediated calcium release through the type 2 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R2) in cardiac myocytes results in the activation of associated CaMKII, thus enabling the kinase to act on downstream targets, such as histone deacetylases 4 and 5 (HDAC4 and HDAC5). The CaMKII activity also feedback modulates InsP(3)R2 function by direct phosphorylation and results in a dramatic decrease in the receptor-channel open probability (P(o)). We have identified S150 in the InsP(3)R2 core suppressor domain (amino acids 1-225) as the specific residue that is phosphorylated by CaMKII. Site-directed mutagenesis reveals that S150 is the CaMKII phosphorylation site responsible for modulation of channel activity. Nonphosphorylatable (S150A) and phosphomimetic (S150E) mutations were studied in planar lipid bilayers. The InsP(3)R2 S150A channel showed no decrease in activity when treated with CaMKII. Conversely, the phosphomimetic (S150E) channel displayed a very low P(o) under normal recording conditions in the absence of CaMKII (2 μM InsP(3) and 250 nM [Ca(2+)](FREE)) and mimicked a WT channel that has been phosphorylated by CaMKII. Phopho-specific antibodies demonstrate that InsP(3)R2 Ser-150 is phosphorylated in vivo by CaMKIIδ. The results of this study show that serine 150 of the InsP(3)R2 is phosphorylated by CaMKII and results in a decrease in the channel open probability.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) play a fundamental role in generating Ca2+ signals that trigger many cellular processes in virtually all eukaryotic cells. Thus far, the three-dimensional (3D) structure of these channels has remained extremely controversial. Here, we report a subnanometer resolution electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) structure of a fully functional type 1 IP3R from cerebellum in the closed state. The transmembrane region reveals a twisted bundle of four α helices, one from each subunit, that form a funnel shaped structure around the 4-fold symmetry axis, strikingly similar to the ion-conduction pore of K+ channels. The lumenal face of IP3R1 has prominent densities that surround the pore entrance and similar to the highly structured turrets of Kir channels. 3D statistical analysis of the cryo-EM density map identifies high variance in the cytoplasmic region. This structural variation could be attributed to genuine structural flexibility of IP3R1.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R), an intracellular calcium channel, has three isoforms with >65% sequence homology, yet the isoforms differ in their function and regulation by post-translational modifications. We showed previously that InsP(3)R-1 is functionally modified by O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) (Rengifo, J., Gibson, C. J., Winkler, E., Collin, T., and Ehrlich, B. E. (2007) J. Neurosci. 27, 13813-13821). We now report the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on InsP(3)R-2 and InsP(3)R-3. Analysis of AR4-2J cells, a rat pancreatoma cell line expressing predominantly InsP(3)R-2, showed no detectable O-GlcNAcylation of InsP(3)R-2 and no significant functional changes despite the presence of the enzymes for addition (O-β-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase) and removal (O-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase) of the monosaccharide. In contrast, InsP(3)R-3 in Mz-ChA-1 cells, a human cholangiocarcinoma cell line expressing predominantly InsP(3)R-3, was functionally modified by O-GlcNAcylation. Interestingly, the functional impact of O-GlcNAcylation on the InsP(3)R-3 channel was opposite the effect measured with InsP(3)R-1. Addition of O-GlcNAc by O-β-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase increased InsP(3)R-3 single channel open probability. Incubation of Mz-ChA-1 cells in hyperglycemic medium caused an increase in the InsP(3)-dependent calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum. The dynamic and inducible nature of O-GlcNAcylation and the InsP(3)R isoform specificity suggest that this form of modification of InsP(3)R and subsequent changes in intracellular calcium transients are important in physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
Homers are adapter proteins that play a significant role in the organization of calcium signaling protein complexes. Previous functional studies linked Homer proteins to calcium influx in nonexcitable cells. These studies utilized calcium imaging or whole-cell current recordings. Because of limited resolution of these methods, an identity of Homer-modulated ion channels remained unclear. There are several types of plasma membrane calcium influx channels in A431 cells. In the present study, we demonstrated that Homer dissociation resulted in specific activation of I(min) channels but not of I(max) channels in inside-out patches taken from A431 cells. In contrast, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate activated both I(min) and I(max) channels in inside-out patches. Short (1a) and long (1c) forms of Homer had different effects on I(min) channel activity. Homer 1a but not Homer 1c activated I(min) in the patches. This study indicates that I(min) channels are specifically regulated by Homer proteins in A431 cells.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder. Familial AD (FAD) mutations in presenilins have been linked to calcium (Ca(2+)) signaling abnormalities. To explain these results, we previously proposed that presenilins function as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) passive Ca(2+) leak channels. To directly investigate the role of presenilins in neuronal ER Ca(2+) homeostasis, we here performed a series of Ca(2+) imaging experiments with primary neuronal cultures from conditional presenilin double-knock-out mice (PS1(dTAG/dTAG), PS2(-/-)) and from triple-transgenic AD mice (KI-PS1(M146V), Thy1-APP(KM670/671NL), Thy1-tau(P301L)). Obtained results provided additional support to the hypothesis that presenilins function as ER Ca(2+) leak channels in neurons. Interestingly, we discovered that presenilins play a major role in ER Ca(2+) leak function in hippocampal but not in striatal neurons. We further discovered that, in hippocampal neurons, loss of presenilin-mediated ER Ca(2+) leak function was compensated by an increase in expression and function of ryanodine receptors (RyanRs). Long-term feeding of the RyanR inhibitor dantrolene to amyloid precursor protein-presenilin-1 mice (Thy1-APP(KM670/671NL), Thy1-PS1(L166P)) resulted in an increased amyloid load, loss of synaptic markers, and neuronal atrophy in hippocampal and cortical regions. These results indicate that disruption of ER Ca(2+) leak function of presenilins may play an important role in AD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Store-operated channels are major calcium influx pathways in nonexitable cells. Homer scaffold proteins are well known for their role in regulating calcium signaling. Here we report on a detailed single-channel level characterization of native store-operated channels regulated by Homer scaffold proteins in A431 carcinoma cells. By applying the single-channel patch-clamp technique, we found that different types of store-operated calcium channels have different sensitivities to Homer proteins.

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

Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominantly inherited, neurodegenerative disease caused by an expansion of polyglutamine tracts in the cytosolic protein ataxin-2 (Atx2). Cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) are predominantly affected in SCA2. The cause of PC degeneration in SCA2 is unknown. Here we demonstrate that mutant Atx2-58Q, but not wild-type (WT) Atx2-22Q, specifically associates with the cytosolic C-terminal region of type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R1), an intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channel. Association with Atx2-58Q increased the sensitivity of InsP(3)R1 to activation by InsP(3) in planar lipid bilayer reconstitution experiments. To validate physiological significance of these findings, we performed a series of experiments with an SCA2-58Q transgenic mouse model that expresses human full-length Atx2-58Q protein under the control of a PC-specific promoter. In Ca(2+) imaging experiments, we demonstrated that stimulation with 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) resulted in higher Ca(2+) responses in 58Q PC cultures than in WT PC cultures. DHPG-induced Ca(2+) responses in 58Q PC cultures were blocked by the addition of ryanodine, an inhibitor of the ryanodine receptor (RyanR). We further demonstrated that application of glutamate induced more pronounced cell death in 58Q PC cultures than in WT PC cultures. Glutamate-induced cell death of 58Q PC cultures was attenuated by dantrolene, a clinically relevant RyanR inhibitor and Ca(2+) stabilizer. In whole animal experiments, we demonstrated that long-term feeding of SCA1-58Q mice with dantrolene alleviated age-dependent motor deficits (quantified in beam-walk and rotarod assays) and reduced PC loss observed in untreated SCA2-58Q mice by 12 months of age (quantified by stereology). Results of our studies indicate that disturbed neuronal Ca(2+) signaling may play an important role in SCA2 pathology and also suggest that the RyanR constitutes a potential therapeutic target for treatment of SCA2 patients.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited, progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by an expanded polyglutamine tract in huntingtin protein (Htt). Medium spiny striatal neurons (MSNs) are primarily affected in HD. Mutant huntingtin protein (Htt(exp)) specifically binds to and activates type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R1), an intracellular Ca(2+) release channel. Htt(exp)-InsP(3)R1 association is mediated by a cytosolic C-terminal tail of InsP(3)R1 (a 122-aa-long IC10 fragment). To evaluate an importance of Htt(exp) association with InsP(3)R1 for HD pathology, we generated lentiviral and adeno-associated viruses expressing GFP-IC10 fusion protein and performed a series of experiments with YAC128 HD transgenic mouse. Infection with Lenti-GFP-IC10 virus stabilized Ca(2+) signaling in cultured YAC128 MSNs and protected YAC128 MSNs from glutamate-induced apoptosis. Intrastriatal injections of AAV1-GFP-IC10 significantly alleviated motor deficits and reduced MSN loss and shrinkage in YAC128 mice. Our results demonstrate an importance of InsP(3)R1-Htt(exp) association for HD pathogenesis and suggested that InsP(3)R1 is a potential therapeutic target for HD. Our data also support potential use of IC10 peptide as a novel HD therapeutic agent.

Abstract
IP(3) (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) receptors (IP(3)Rs) regulate the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores in response to IP(3). Little is known about regulation of the expression of IP(3)Rs and their role during the activation of CD4 T cells. In this study we show that mouse naive CD4 T cells express IP(3)R1, IP(3)R2, and IP(3)R3, but that gene expression of IP(3)R3 primarily is down-regulated upon activation due to loss of the Ets-1 transcription factor. Down-regulation of IP(3)R expression in activated CD4 T cells is associated with the failure of TCR ligation to trigger Ca(2+) release in these cells. We also show that down-regulation of specific IP(3)Rs in activated CD4 T cells correlates with the requirement of IP(3)R-mediated Ca(2+) release only for the induction of, but not for the maintenance of, IL-2 and IFN-gamma expression. Interestingly, while inhibition of IP(3)R function early during activation blocks IL-2 and IFN-gamma production, it promotes the production of IL-17 by CD4 T cells. Thus, IP(3)Rs play a key role in the activation and differentiation of CD4 T cells. The immunosuppressive effect of pharmacological blockers of these receptors may be complicated by promoting the development of inflammatory CD4 T cells.

Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), is an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a polyglutamine expansion in ataxin-3 (ATX3; MJD1) protein. In biochemical experiments, we demonstrate that mutant ATX3(exp) specifically associated with the type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R1), an intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channel. In electrophysiological and Ca(2+) imaging experiments, we show that InsP(3)R1 was sensitized to activation by InsP(3) in the presence of mutant ATX3(exp). We found that feeding SCA3-YAC-84Q transgenic mice with dantrolene, a clinically relevant stabilizer of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling, improved their motor performance and prevented neuronal cell loss in pontine nuclei and substantia nigra regions. Our results indicate that deranged Ca(2+) signaling may play an important role in SCA3 pathology and that Ca(2+) signaling stabilizers such as dantrolene may be considered as potential therapeutic drugs for treatment of SCA3 patients.

Abstract
Sustained elevation of intracellular calcium by Ca2+ release–activated Ca2+ channels is required for lymphocyte activation. Sustained Ca2+ entry requires endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ depletion and prolonged activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)/Ca2+ release channels. However, a major isoform in lymphocyte ER, IP3R1, is inhibited by elevated levels of cytosolic Ca2+, and the mechanism that enables the prolonged activation of IP3R1 required for lymphocyte activation is unclear. We show that IP3R1 binds to the scaffolding protein linker of activated T cells and colocalizes with the T cell receptor during activation, resulting in persistent phosphorylation of IP3R1 at Tyr353. This phosphorylation increases the sensitivity of the channel to activation by IP3 and renders the channel less sensitive to Ca2+-induced inactivation. Expression of a mutant IP3R1-Y353F channel in lymphocytes causes defective Ca2+ signaling and decreased nuclear factor of activated T cells activation. Thus, tyrosine phosphorylation of IP3R1-Y353 may have an important function in maintaining elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels during lymphocyte activation.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is a membrane channel that conducts calcium ions from the intracellular calcium stores. Despite a wealth of information on the cytoplasmic regulation of the IP3R, little is known about its regulation on the luminal side of the calcium stores. Here, we report studies on the IP3R intraluminal loop L3-2 and a conserved N-terminal region of chromogranin B. The IP3R loop is an important part of the channel's pore-forming region, and the chromogranin peptide has been shown to competitively inhibit calcium signaling by IP3R. Using the NMR titration approach, we showed that a part of the L3-2 is involved in a specific interaction with the chromogranin B peptide. Further NMR resonance assignments revealed that the 14th-20th residues of L3-2 are the keys to the binding to the chromogranin B peptide. Through detailed analysis of the data, we suggest a mechanism of IP3R regulation by chromogranin B involving conformational exchanges of the L3-2 region. Our report presents the findings of the first study on the interaction between the luminal loop of the IP3 receptor and its regulator at residue-resolution. The approaches described here should help to guide further studies on the interactions between the IP3R and other luminal side regulators.

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

Abstract
EKODE, an epoxy-keto derivative of linoleic acid, was previously shown to stimulate aldosterone secretion in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of exogenous EKODE on cytosolic [Ca(2+)] increase and aimed to elucidate the mechanism involved in this process. Through the use of the fluorescent Ca(2+)-sensitive dye Fluo-4, EKODE was shown to rapidly increase intracellular [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](i)) along a bell-shaped dose-response relationship with a maximum peak at 5 microM. Experiments performed in the presence or absence of Ca(2+) revealed that this increase in [Ca(2+)](i) originated exclusively from intracellular pools. EKODE-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase was blunted by prior application of angiotensin II, Xestospongin C, and cyclopiazonic acid, indicating that inositol trisphosphate (InsP(3))-sensitive Ca(2+) stores can be mobilized by EKODE despite the absence of InsP(3) production. Accordingly, EKODE response was not sensitive to the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122. EKODE mobilized a Ca(2+) store included in the thapsigargin (TG)-sensitive stores, although the interaction between EKODE and TG appears complex, since EKODE added at the plateau response of TG induced a rapid drop in [Ca(2+)](i). 9-oxo-octadecadienoic acid, another oxidized derivative of linoleic acid, also increases [Ca(2+)](i), with a dose-response curve similar to EKODE. However, arachidonic and linoleic acids at 10 microM failed to increase [Ca(2+)](i) but did reduce the amplitude of the response to EKODE. It is concluded that EKODE mobilizes Ca(2+) from an InsP(3)-sensitive store and that this [Ca(2+)](i) increase is responsible for aldosterone secretion by glomerulosa cells. Similar bell-shaped dose-response curves for aldosterone and [Ca(2+)](i) increases reinforce this hypothesis.

Abstract
Type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R1) is a widely expressed intracellular calcium-release channel found in many cell types. The operation of IP(3)R1 is regulated through phosphorylation by multiple protein kinases. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) has been found involved in calcium signaling in distinct cell types, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we present evidence that ERK1/2 and IP(3)R1 bind together through an ERK binding motif in mouse cerebellum in vivo as well as in vitro. ERK-phosphorylating serines (Ser 436) was identified in mouse IP(3)R1 and Ser 436 phosphorylation had a suppressive effect on IP(3) binding to the recombinant N-terminal 604-amino acid residues (N604). Moreover, phosphorylation of Ser 436 in R(224-604) evidently enhance its interaction with the N-terminal "suppressor" region (N223). At last, our data showed that Ser 436 phosphorylation in IP(3)R1 decreased Ca(2+) releasing through IP(3)R1 channels.

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

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is an intracellular Ca2+ channel involved in various cellular signaling. Type 3 IP3R (IP3R3) retains ligand-gated Ca2+ channel properties differing from other subtypes in terms of IP3-binding affinity and regulation of its channel activity by effector molecules. In this study, we found the natural Pro335 --> Leu polymorphism of mouse IP3R3 between BALB/c and C57BL/6J. We investigated the functional differences between Pro335IP3R3 and Leu335IP3R3 with purified receptors reconstituted into proteoliposomes as well as with soluble ligand binding domains. Pro335IP3R3 exhibited significantly higher IP3-binding affinity and IP3-induced Ca2+ release than those of Leu335IP3R3 in both forms of the receptor. Moreover, the polymorphic change caused differences in the effect of external Ca2+ on IP3-induced Ca2+ release. The Pro335 --> Leu substitution alters the conformation of soluble ligand binding domain as revealed by intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism spectra with or without Ca2+. The results indicate that the polymorphism of IP3R3 causes changes in receptor function, presumably affecting intracellular Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
The type 2 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R2) was identified previously as the predominant isoform in cardiac ventricular myocytes. Here we reported the subcellular localization of InsP(3)R2 to the cardiomyocyte nuclear envelope (NE). The other major known endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-release channel (ryanodine receptor) was not localized to the NE, indicating functional segregation of these channels and possibly a unique role for InsP(3)R2 in regulating nuclear calcium dynamics. Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that the NE InsP(3)R2 associates with Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIdelta (CaMKIIdelta), the major isoform expressed in cardiac myocytes. Recombinant InsP(3)R2 and CaMKIIdelta(B) also co-immunoprecipitated after co-expression in COS-1 cells. Additionally, the amino-terminal 1078 amino acids of the InsP(3)R2 were sufficient for interaction with CaMKIIdelta(B) and associated upon mixing following separate expression. CaMKII can also phosphorylate InsP(3)R2, as demonstrated by (32)P labeling. Incorporation of CaMKII-treated InsP(3)R2 into planar lipid bilayers revealed that InsP(3)-mediated channel open probability is significantly reduced ( approximately 11 times) by phosphorylation via CaMKII. We concluded that the InsP(3)R2 and CaMKIIdelta likely represent two central components of a multiprotein signaling complex, and this raises the possibility that calcium release via InsP(3)R2 in the myocyte NE may activate local CaMKII signaling, which may feedback on InsP(3)R2 function.

Abstract
The domain structure of proteins synthesized from a single gene can be remodeled during tissue development by activities at the RNA level of gene expression. The impact of higher order RNA processing on changing patterns of protein domain selection may be explored by systematically profiling single-gene transcriptomes. itpr1 is one of three mammalian genes encoding receptors for the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3). Some phenotypic variations of InsP3 receptors have been attributed to hetero-oligomers of subunit isoforms from itpr1, itpr2, and itpr3. However, itpr1 itself is subject to alternative RNA splicing, with 7 sites of transcript variation, 6 within the ORF. We have identified 17 itpr1 subunit species expressed in mammalian brain in ensembles that change with tissue differentiation. Statistical analyses of populations comprising >1,300 full-length clones suggest that subunit variation arises from a variably biased stochastic splicing mechanism. Surprisingly, the protein domains of this highly allosteric receptor appear to be assembled in a partially randomized way, yielding stochastic arrays of subunit species that form tetrameric complexes in single cells. Nevertheless, functional expression studies of selected subunits confirm that splicing regulation is connected to phenotypic variation. The potential for itpr1 subunits to form hetero-tetramers in single cells suggests the expression of a developmentally regulated continuum of molecular forms that could display diverse properties, including incremental sensitivities to agonist activation and varying patterns of Ca2+ mobilization. These studies illuminate the extent to which itpr1 molecular phenotype is induced by higher order RNA processing.

Abstract
NADH regulates the release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum by modulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R), accounting for the augmented calcium release of hypoxic cells. We report selective binding of IP3R to GAPDH, whose activity leads to the local generation of NADH to regulate intracellular calcium signaling. This interaction requires cysteines 992 and 995 of IP3R and C150 of GAPDH. Addition of native GAPDH and NAD+ to WT IP3R stimulates calcium release, whereas no stimulation occurs with C992S/995S IP3R that cannot bind GAPDH. Thus, the IP3R/GAPDH interaction likely enables cellular energy dynamics to impact calcium signaling.

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

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3R) play a key role in intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signaling. Three mammalian InsP3R isoforms--InsP3R type 1 (InsP3R1), InsP3R type 2 (InsP3R2), and InsP3R type 3 (InsP3R3) are expressed in mammals, but the functional differences between the three mammalian InsP3R isoforms are poorly understood. Here we compared single-channel behavior of the recombinant rat InsP3R1, InsP3R2, and InsP3R3 expressed in Sf9 cells, reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers and recorded with 50 mM Ba2+ as a current carrier. We found that: 1), for all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms the size of the unitary current is 1.9 pA and single-channel conductance is 74-80 pS; 2), in optimal recording conditions the maximal single-channel open probability for all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms is in the range 30-40%; 3), in optimal recording conditions the mean open dwell time for all three mammalian InsP3R isoforms is 7-8 ms, the mean closed dwell time is approximately 10 ms; 4), InsP3R2 has the highest apparent affinity for InsP(3) (0.10 microM), followed by InsP3R1 (0.27 microM), and then by InsP3R3 (0.40 microM); 5), InsP3R1 has a high-affinity (0.13 mM) ATP modulatory site, InsP3R2 gating is ATP independent, and InsP3R3 has a low-affinity (2 mM) ATP modulatory site; 6), ATP modulates InsP3R1 gating in a noncooperative manner (n(Hill) = 1.3); 7), ATP modulates InsP3R3 gating in a highly cooperative manner (n(Hill) = 4.1). Obtained results provide novel information about functional properties of mammalian InsP3R isoforms.

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

Abstract
Huntington's disease is caused by polyglutamine expansion (exp) in huntingtin (Htt). Htt-associated protein-1 (HAP1) was the first identified Htt-binding partner. The type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R1) is an intracellular Ca2+ release channel that plays an important role in neuronal function. Recently, we identified a InsP3R1-HAP1A-Htt ternary complex in the brain and demonstrated that Httexp, but not normal Htt, activates InsP3R1 in bilayers and facilitates InsP3R1-mediated intracellular Ca2+ release in medium spiny striatal neurons [MSN; T.-S. Tang et al. (2003) Neuron, 39, 227-239]. Here we took advantage of mice with targeted disruption of both HAP1 alleles (HAP1 -/-) to investigate the role of HAP1 in functional interactions between Htt and InsP3R1. We determined that: (i) HAP1 is expressed in the MSN; (ii) HAP1A facilitates functional effects of Htt and Htt(exp) on InsP3R1 in planar lipid bilayers; (iii) HAP1 is required for changes in MSN basal Ca2+ levels resulting from Htt or Htt(exp) overexpression; (iv) HAP1 facilitates potentiation of InsP3R1-mediated Ca2+ release by Htt(exp) in mouse MSN. Our present results indicate that HAP1 plays an important role in functional interactions between Htt and InsP3R1.

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

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) plays an essential role in Ca2+ signaling during lymphocyte activation. Engagement of the T cell or B cell receptor by antigen initiates a signal transduction cascade that leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of IP3R by Src family nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases, including Fyn. However, the effect of tyrosine phosphorylation on the IP3R and subsequent Ca2+ release is poorly understood. We have identified tyrosine 353 (Tyr353) in the IP3-binding domain of type 1 IP3R (IP3R1) as a phosphorylation site for Fyn both in vitro and in vivo. We have developed a phosphoepitope-specific antibody and shown that IP3R1-Y353 becomes phosphorylated during T cell and B cell activation. Furthermore, tyrosine phosphorylation of IP3R1 increased IP3 binding at low IP3 concentrations (<10 nm). Using wild-type IP3R1 or an IP3R1-Y353F mutant that cannot be tyrosine phosphorylated at Tyr353 or expressed in IP3R-deficient DT40 B cells, we demonstrated that tyrosine phosphorylation of Tyr353 permits prolonged intracellular Ca2+ release during B cell activation. Taken together, these data suggest that one function of tyrosine phosphorylation of IP3R1-Y353 is to enhance Ca2+ signaling in lymphocytes by increasing the sensitivity of IP3R1 to activation by low levels of IP3.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R) play a key role in intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) signaling. Three InsP(3)R isoforms are expressed in mammals. Type 1 InsP(3)R (InsP(3)R1) is a predominant neuronal isoform. Neuronal InsP(3)R1 is one of the major substrates of protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation. In our previous study (Tang, T. S., Tu, H., Wang, Z., and Bezprozvanny, I. (2003) J. Neurosci. 23, 403-415) we discovered a direct association between InsP(3)R1 and protein phosphatase 1 alpha (PP1 alpha). In functional experiments we demonstrated that phosphorylation by PKA activates InsP(3)R1 and that dephosphorylation by PP1 alpha inhibits InsP(3)R1. To extend these findings, here we investigated the possibility of InsP(3)R1-PKA association. In a series of biochemical experiments we demonstrate the following findings. 1) InsP(3)R1 and PKA associate in the brain. 2) InsP(3)R1-PKA association is mediated by the AKAP9 (Yotiao) multi-functional PKA anchoring protein. 3) InsP(3)R1-AKAP9 association is mediated via the leucine/isoleucine zipper (LIZ) motif in the InsP(3)R1 coupling domain and the fourth LIZ motif in AKAP9. 4) The InsP(3)R association with AKAP9 is specific for type 1 InsP(3)R. 5) Both the SII(+) and the SII(-) coupling domain splice variants of InsP(3)R1 bind to AKAP9. 6) Binding to AKAP9 promotes association of neuronal InsP(3)R1 with the NR1 NMDA receptor; and 7) neuronal InsP(3)R1 associate with PP1 directly via carboxy-terminus and indirectly via AKAP9. The obtained results advance our understanding of cross-talk between cAMP and InsP(3)/Ca(2+) signaling pathways in the brain.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by polyglutamine expansion (exp) in huntingtin (Htt). The type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-triphosphate receptor (InsP3R1) is an intracellular calcium (Ca2+) release channel that plays an important role in neuronal function. In a yeast two-hybrid screen with the InsP3R1 carboxy terminus, we isolated Htt-associated protein-1A (HAP1A). We show that an InsP3R1-HAP1A-Htt ternary complex is formed in vitro and in vivo. In planar lipid bilayer reconstitution experiments, InsP3R1 activation by InsP3 is sensitized by Httexp, but not by normal Htt. Transfection of full-length Httexp or caspase-resistant Httexp, but not normal Htt, into medium spiny striatal neurons faciliates Ca2+ release in response to threshold concentrations of the selective mGluR1/5 agonist 3,5-DHPG. Our findings identify a novel molecular link between Htt and InsP3R1-mediated neuronal Ca2+ signaling and provide an explanation for the derangement of cytosolic Ca2+ signaling in HD patients and mouse models.

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

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

Abstract
The type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R1) is an intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channel that plays an important role in neuronal function. In yeast two-hybrid screen of rat brain cDNA library with the InsP(3)R1 carboxy-terminal bait we isolated multiple clones of neuronal cytoskeletal protein 4.1N. We mapped the 4.1N-interaction site to a short fragment (50 amino acids) within the carboxy-terminal tail of the InsP(3)R1 and the InsP(3)R1-interaction site to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of 4.1N. We established that InsP(3)R1 carboxy-terminal binds selectively to the CTDDelta alternatively spliced form of the 4.1N protein. In biochemical experiments we demonstrated that 4.1N and InsP(3)R1 specifically associate in vitro. We showed that both 4.1N and InsP(3)R1 were enriched in synaptic locations and immunoprecipitated the 4.1N-InsP(3)R1 complex from rat brain synaptosomes. In biochemical experiments we demonstrated a possibility of InsP(3)R1-4.1N-CASK-syndecan-2 quaternary complex formation. From our findings we hypothesize that InsP(3)R1-4.1N association may play a role in InsP(3)R1 localization or Ca(2+) signaling in neurons.

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

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is a ubiquitously expressed intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channel on the endoplasmic reticulum. IP3Rs play key roles in controlling Ca(2+) signals that activate numerous cellular functions including T cell activation, neurotransmitter release, oocyte fertilization and apoptosis. There are three forms of IP3R, all of which are ligand-gated channels activated by the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Channel function is modulated via cross-talk with other signaling pathways including those mediated by kinases and phosphatases. In particular IP3Rs are known to be regulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylation. In the present study we show that PKA and the protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A are components of the IP3R1 macromolecular signaling complex. PKA phosphorylation of IP3R1 increases channel activity in planar lipid bilayers. These studies indicate that regulation of IP3R1 function via PKA phosphorylation involves components of a macromolecular signaling complex.

Abstract
Modulation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptors (InsP(3)R) by cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) plays an essential role in Ca(2+) signalling, but structural determinants and mechanisms responsible for the InsP(3)R regulation by Ca(2+) are poorly understood. In the present study, we expressed rat InsP(3)R type 1 (InsP(3)R1) in Spodoptera frugiperda cells using a baculovirus-expression system and reconstituted the recombinant InsP(3)R1 into planar lipid bilayers for functional analysis. We observed only minor effects of 0.5 mM of calmodulin (CaM) antagonist W-7 on the Ca(2+) dependence of InsP(3)R1. Based on a previous analysis of mouse InsP(3)R1 [Yamada, Miyawaki, Saito, Nakajima, Yamamoto-Hino, Ryo, Furuichi and Mikoshiba (1995) Biochem J. 308, 83-88], we generated the Trp(1577)-->Ala (W1577A) mutant of rat InsP(3)R1 which lacks the high-affinity Ca(2+)[bond]CaM-binding site. We found that the W1577A mutant displayed a bell-shaped Ca(2+) dependence similar to the wild-type InsP(3)R1 in planar lipid bilayers. Activation of B cell receptors resulted in identical Ca(2+) signals in intact DT40 cells lacking the endogenous InsP(3)R and transfected with the wild-type InsP(3)R1 or the W1577A mutant cDNA subcloned into a mammalian expression vector. In the planar lipid bilayer experiments, we showed that both wild-type InsP(3)R1 and W1577A mutant were equally sensitive to inhibition by exogenous CaM. From these results, we concluded that the interaction of CaM with the high-affinity Ca(2+)[bond]CaM-binding site in the coupling domain of the InsP(3)R1 does not play a direct role in biphasic modulation of InsP(3)R1 by cytosolic Ca(2+) or in InsP(3)R1 inhibition by CaM.

Abstract
The type 1 inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R1) plays a critical role in Ca2+ signaling in cells. Neuronal and nonneuronal isoforms of the InsP3R1 differ by alternative splicing in the coupling domain of the InsP3R1 (SII site). Deletion of 107 amino acids from the coupling domain of the InsP3R1 results in epileptic-like behaviors in opisthotonos (opt) spontaneous mouse mutant. Using Spodoptera frugiperda cells expression system, we compared single-channel behavior of recombinant InsP3R1-SII(+), InsP3R1-SII(-), and InsP3R1-opt channels in planar lipid bilayers. The main results of our study are: 1) the InsP3R1-SII(-) has a higher conductance (94 pS) and the InsP3R1-opt has a lower conductance (64 pS) than the InsP3R1-SII(+) (81 pS); 2) the bell-shaped Ca2+-dependence peaks at 200-300 nM Ca2+ for all three InsP3R1 isoforms; 3) the bell-shaped Ca2+-dependence is wider for the InsP3R1-SII(+) and narrower for the InsP3R1-SII(-) and InsP3R1-opt; 4) the apparent affinity for ATP is sixfold lower for the InsP3R1-SII(-) (1.4 mM) and 20-fold lower for the InsP3R1-opt (5.3 mM) than for the InsP3R1-SII(+) (0.24 mM); 5) the InsP3R1-SII(-) is approximately twofold more active than the InsP3R1-SII(+) in the absence of ATP. Obtained results provide novel information about the molecular determinants of the InsP3R1 function.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptors (InsP(3)Rs) are intracellular Ca(2+) channels gated by the second messenger InsP(3). Here we describe a novel approach for recording single-channel currents through recombinant InsP(3)Rs in mammalian cells that applies patch-clamp electrophysiology to nuclei isolated from COS-7 cells transiently transfected with the neuronal (SII(+)) and peripheral (SII(-)) alternatively-spliced variants of the rat type 1 InsP(3)R. Single channels that were activated by InsP(3) and inhibited by heparin were observed in 45% of patches from nuclei prepared from transfected cells overexpressing recombinant InsP(3)Rs. In contrast, nuclei from cells transfected with the vector alone had InsP(3)-dependent channel activity in only 1.5% of patches. With K(+) (140 mM) as the permeant ion, recombinant SII(+) and SII(-) channels had slope conductances of 370 pS and 390 pS, respectively. The recombinant channels were 4-fold more selective for Ca(2+) over K(+), and their open probabilities were biphasically regulated by cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)]. This approach provides a powerful new methodology to study the permeation and gating properties of recombinant mammalian InsP(3)Rs in a native mammalian membrane environment at the single-channel level.

Abstract
Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase I (cGKI) affects the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-dependent release of intracellular calcium by phosphorylation of IRAG (inositol 1,4,5-trisphophate receptor-associated cGMP kinase substrate). IRAG is present in a macromolecular complex with the InsP(3) receptor type I (InsP(3)RI) and cGKIbeta. The specificity of the interaction between these three proteins was investigated by using the yeast two-hybrid system and by co-precipitation of expressed proteins. The amino-terminal region containing the leucine zipper (amino acids 1-53) of cGKIbeta but not that of cGKIalpha or cGKII interacted with the sequence between amino acids 152 and 184 of IRAG in vitro and in vivo most likely through electrostatic interaction. cGKIbeta did not interact with the InsP(3)RI, but co-precipitated the InsP(3)RI in the presence of IRAG indicating that IRAG bound to the InsP(3)RI and to cGKIbeta. cGKIbeta phosphorylated up to four serines in IRAG. Mutation of these four serines to alanine showed that cGKIbeta-dependent phosphorylation of Ser(696) is necessary to decrease calcium release from InsP(3)-sensitive stores. These results show that cGMP induced reduction of cytosolic calcium concentrations requires cGKIbeta and phosphorylation of Ser(696) of IRAG.
