Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate stimulates calcium release from bovine adrenal microsomes by a mechanism independent of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor.


ABSTRACT: In bovine adrenal microsomes, Ins(1,4,5)P3 binds to a specific high-affinity receptor site (Kd = 11 nM) with low affinity for two other InsP3 isomers, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and Ins(2,4,5)P3. In the same subcellular fractions Ins(1,4,5)P3 was also the most potent stimulus of Ca2+ release of all the inositol phosphates tested. Of the many inositol phosphates recently identified in angiotensin-II-stimulated adrenal glomerulosa and other cells, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 has been implicated as an additional second messenger that may act in conjunction with Ins(1,4,5)P3 to elicit Ca2+ mobilization. In the present study, an independent action of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was observed in bovine adrenal microsomes. Heparin, a sulphated polysaccharide which binds to Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors in several tissues, inhibited both the binding of radiolabelled Ins(1,4,5)P3 and its Ca2(+)-releasing activity in adrenal microsomes. In contrast, heparin did not inhibit the mobilization of Ca2+ by Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, even at doses that abolished the Ins(1,4,5)P3 response. Such differential inhibition of the Ins(1,4,5)P3- and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-induced Ca2+ responses by heparin indicates that Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 stimulates the release of Ca2+ from a discrete intracellular store, and exerts this action via a specific receptor site that is distinct from the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor.
