Isolation and characterization of vascular smooth muscle inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor.

ABSTRACT: myo-Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor of porcine aorta was purified to near homogeneity and its biochemical properties were compared with those of cerebellar InsP3 receptor of the same animal species. The aortic InsP3 receptor consisted of equal amounts of two polypeptides with slightly differing molecular masses of around 240 kDa and was found to possess a single population of InsP3-binding site (Kd of 1.2 nM). The InsP3 receptor purified from porcine cerebellum was also comprised of two polypeptides. However, the molecular mass was slightly but definitely larger, being 250 kDa, and the amounts of the two polypeptides were not equal. The aortic InsP3 receptor cross-reacted with polyclonal antibody specific to type 1 InsP3 receptor as did the cerebellar InsP3 receptor. The aortic InsP3 receptor bound to calmodulin-Sepharose in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, while the cerebellar InsP3 receptor did not. Reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis revealed two splicing variants of the type 1 InsP3 receptor in porcine aortic smooth muscle distinct from those of the type 1 InsP3 receptor of porcine cerebellum. The possible relevance of this difference to difference in calmodulin-binding property was discussed.

The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (Itpr) gene family in Xenopus: identification of type 2 and type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor subtypes.

Project description:Studies in the Xenopus model system have provided considerable insight into the developmental role of intracellular Ca2+ signals produced by activation of IP3Rs (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors). However, unlike mammalian systems where three IP3R subtypes have been well characterized, our molecular understanding of the IP3Rs that underpin Ca2+ signalling during Xenopus embryogenesis relate solely to the original characterization of the 'Xenopus IP3R' cloned and purified from Xenopus laevis oocytes several years ago. In the present study, we have identified Xenopus type 2 and type 3 IP3Rs and report the full-length sequence, genomic architecture and developmental expression profile of these additional IP3R subtypes. In the light of the emerging genomic resources and opportunities for genetic manipulation in the diploid frog Xenopus tropicalis, these data will facilitate manipulations to resolve the contribution of IP3R diversity in Ca2+ signalling events observed during vertebrate development.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate Receptor Mutations associated with Human Disease.

Project description:Calcium release into the cytosol via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) calcium channel is important for a variety of cellular processes. As a result, impairment or inhibition of this release can result in disease. Recently, mutations in all four domains of the IP3R have been suggested to cause diseases such as ataxia, cancer, and anhidrosis; however, most of these mutations have not been functionally characterized. In this review we summarize the reported mutations, as well as the associated symptoms. Additionally, we use clues from transgenic animals, receptor stoichiometry, and domain location of mutations to speculate on the effects of individual mutations on receptor structure and function and the overall mechanism of disease.

Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor microarchitecture shapes Ca2+ puff kinetics.

Project description:Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) release intracellular Ca(2+) as localized Ca(2+) signals (Ca(2+) puffs) that represent the activity of small numbers of clustered IP(3)Rs spaced throughout the endoplasmic reticulum. Although much emphasis has been placed on estimating the number of active Ca(2+) release channels supporting Ca(2+) puffs, less attention has been placed on understanding the role of cluster microarchitecture. This is important as recent data underscores the dynamic nature of IP(3)R transitions between heterogeneous cellular architectures and the differential behavior of IP(3)Rs socialized into clusters. Here, we applied a high-resolution model incorporating stochastically gating IP(3)Rs within a three-dimensional cytoplasmic space to demonstrate: 1), Ca(2+) puffs are supported by a broad range of clustered IP(3)R microarchitectures; 2), cluster ultrastructure shapes Ca(2+) puff characteristics; and 3), loosely corralled IP(3)R clusters (>200 nm interchannel separation) fail to coordinate Ca(2+) puffs, owing to inefficient triggering and impaired coupling due to reduced Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release microwave velocity (<10 nm/s) throughout the channel array. Dynamic microarchitectural considerations may therefore influence Ca(2+) puff occurrence/properties in intact cells, contrasting with a more minimal role for channel number over the same simulated conditions in shaping local Ca(2+) dynamics.

Selective determinants of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and adenophostin A interactions with type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors.

Project description:Background and purposeAdenophostin A (AdA) is a potent agonist of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3) R). AdA shares with IP(3) the essential features of all IP(3) R agonists, namely structures equivalent to the 4,5-bisphosphate and 6-hydroxyl of IP(3) , but the basis of its increased affinity is unclear. Hitherto, the 2'-phosphate of AdA has been thought to provide a supra-optimal mimic of the 1-phosphate of IP(3) .Experimental approachWe examined the structural determinants of AdA binding to type 1 IP(3) R (IP(3) R1). Chemical synthesis and mutational analysis of IP(3) R1 were combined with (3) H-IP(3) binding to full-length IP(3) R1 and its N-terminal fragments, and Ca(2+) release assays from recombinant IP(3) R1 expressed in DT40 cells.Key resultsAdenophostin A is at least 12-fold more potent than IP(3) in functional assays, and the IP(3) -binding core (IBC, residues 224-604 of IP(3) R1) is sufficient for this high-affinity binding of AdA. Removal of the 2'-phosphate from AdA (to give 2'-dephospho-AdA) had significantly lesser effects on its affinity for the IBC than did removal of the 1-phosphate from IP(3) (to give inositol 4,5-bisphosphate). Mutation of the only residue (R568) that interacts directly with the 1-phosphate of IP(3) decreased similarly (by ~30-fold) the affinity for IP(3) and AdA, but mutating R504, which has been proposed to form a cation-π interaction with the adenine of AdA, more profoundly reduced the affinity of IP(3) R for AdA (353-fold) than for IP(3) (13-fold).Conclusions and implicationsThe 2'-phosphate of AdA is not a major determinant of its high affinity. R504 in the receptor, most likely via a cation-π interaction, contributes specifically to AdA binding.

Hepatic Inositol 1,4,5 Trisphosphate Receptor Type 1 Mediates Fatty Liver.

Project description:Fatty liver is the most common type of liver disease, affecting nearly one third of the US population and more than half a billion people worldwide. Abnormalities in ER calcium handling and mitochondrial function each have been implicated in abnormal lipid droplet formation. Here we show that the type 1 isoform of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R1) specifically links ER calcium release to mitochondrial calcium signaling and lipid droplet formation in hepatocytes. Moreover, liver-specific InsP3R1 knockout mice have impaired mitochondrial calcium signaling, decreased hepatic triglycerides, reduced lipid droplet formation and are resistant to development of fatty liver. Patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, the most malignant form of fatty liver, have increased hepatic expression of InsP3R1 and the extent of ER-mitochondrial co-localization correlates with the degree of steatosis in human liver biopsies.ConclusionInsP3R1 plays a central role in lipid droplet formation in hepatocytes and the data suggest that it is involved in the development of human fatty liver disease.

Polycystin-2 activation by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ release requires its direct association with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in a signaling microdomain.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is characterized by the loss-of-function of a signaling complex involving polycystin-1 and polycystin-2 (TRPP2, an ion channel of the TRP superfamily), resulting in a disturbance in intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. Here, we identified the molecular determinants of the interaction between TRPP2 and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R), an intracellular Ca(2+) channel in the endoplasmic reticulum. Glutathione S-transferase pulldown experiments combined with mutational analysis led to the identification of an acidic cluster in the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of TRPP2 and a cluster of positively charged residues in the N-terminal ligand-binding domain of the IP(3)R as directly responsible for the interaction. To investigate the functional relevance of TRPP2 in the endoplasmic reticulum, we re-introduced the protein in TRPP2(-/-) mouse renal epithelial cells using an adenoviral expression system. The presence of TRPP2 resulted in an increased agonist-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release in intact cells and IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release in permeabilized cells. Using pathological mutants of TRPP2, R740X and D509V, and competing peptides, we demonstrated that TRPP2 amplified the Ca(2+) signal by a local Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release mechanism, which only occurred in the presence of the TRPP2-IP(3)R interaction, and not via altered IP(3)R channel activity. Moreover, our results indicate that this interaction was instrumental in the formation of Ca(2+) microdomains necessary for initiating Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release. The data strongly suggest that defects in this mechanism may account for the altered Ca(2+) signaling associated with pathological TRPP2 mutations and therefore contribute to the development of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor regulates hepatic gluconeogenesis in fasting and diabetes.

Project description:In the fasted state, increases in circulating glucagon promote hepatic glucose production through induction of the gluconeogenic program. Triggering of the cyclic AMP pathway increases gluconeogenic gene expression via the de-phosphorylation of the CREB co-activator CRTC2 (ref. 1). Glucagon promotes CRTC2 dephosphorylation in part through the protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated inhibition of the CRTC2 kinase SIK2. A number of Ser/Thr phosphatases seem to be capable of dephosphorylating CRTC2 (refs 2, 3), but the mechanisms by which hormonal cues regulate these enzymes remain unclear. Here we show in mice that glucagon stimulates CRTC2 dephosphorylation in hepatocytes by mobilizing intracellular calcium stores and activating the calcium/calmodulin-dependent Ser/Thr-phosphatase calcineurin (also known as PP3CA). Glucagon increased cytosolic calcium concentration through the PKA-mediated phosphorylation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)Rs), which associate with CRTC2. After their activation, InsP(3)Rs enhanced gluconeogenic gene expression by promoting the calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation of CRTC2. During feeding, increases in insulin signalling reduced CRTC2 activity via the AKT-mediated inactivation of InsP(3)Rs. InsP(3)R activity was increased in diabetes, leading to upregulation of the gluconeogenic program. As hepatic downregulation of InsP(3)Rs and calcineurin improved circulating glucose levels in insulin resistance, these results demonstrate how interactions between cAMP and calcium pathways at the level of the InsP(3)R modulate hepatic glucose production under fasting conditions and in diabetes.

Interactions of antagonists with subtypes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor.

Project description:Background and purposeInositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3 Rs) are intracellular Ca(2+) channels. Interactions of the commonly used antagonists of IP3Rs with IP3R subtypes are poorly understood.Experimental approachIP3-evoked Ca(2+) release from permeabilized DT40 cells stably expressing single subtypes of mammalian IP3R was measured using a luminal Ca(2+) indicator. The effects of commonly used antagonists on IP3-evoked Ca(2+) release and (3) H-IP3 binding were characterized.Key resultsFunctional analyses showed that heparin was a competitive antagonist of all IP3R subtypes with different affinities for each (IP3R3 > IP3R1 ≥ IP3R2). This sequence did not match the affinities for heparin binding to the isolated N-terminal from each IP3R subtype. 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) and high concentrations of caffeine selectively inhibited IP3R1 without affecting IP3 binding. Neither Xestospongin C nor Xestospongin D effectively inhibited IP3-evoked Ca(2+) release via any IP3R subtype.Conclusions and implicationsHeparin competes with IP3, but its access to the IP3-binding core is substantially hindered by additional IP3R residues. These interactions may contribute to its modest selectivity for IP3R3. Practicable concentrations of caffeine and 2-APB inhibit only IP3R1. Xestospongins do not appear to be effective antagonists of IP3Rs.

Three-dimensional structure of recombinant type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor.

Project description:IP3Rs (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors) are the intracellular channels that mediate release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in response to the many stimuli that evoke Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation. We characterized and purified type 1 IP3R heterologously expressed in Sf9 insect cells, and used the purified IP3R1 to determine its three-dimensional structure by electron microscopy and single-particle analysis. Recombinant IP3R1 has 4-fold symmetry with overall dimensions of approx. 19.5 nm x 19.5 nm x 17.5 nm. It comprises a small domain, which is likely to include the pore, linked by slender bridges to a large cytoplasmic domain with four petal-like regions. Our structures of recombinant IP3R1 and native cerebellar IP3R have similar appearances and dimensions. The only notable difference is the absence of a central stigma-like domain from the cytoplasmic region of recombinant IP3R1. The first structure of a recombinant IP3R is an important step towards developing three-dimensional structures of IP3R that better contribute to our understanding of the structural basis of IP3R activation.

Characterization of a flatworm inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate receptor (IP?R) reveals a role in reproductive physiology.

Project description:Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP?Rs) are intracellular Ca²? channels that elevate cytoplasmic Ca²? in response to the second messenger IP3. Here, we describe the identification and in vivo functional characterization of the planarian IP?R, the first intracellular Ca²? channel to be defined in flatworms. A single IP?R gene in Dugesia japonica encoded a 2666 amino acid protein (Dj.IP?R) that shared well conserved structural features with vertebrate IP?R counterparts. Expression of an NH?-terminal Dj.IP?R region (amino acid residues 223-585) recovered high affinity ³H-IP? binding (0.9±0.1 nM) which was abolished by a single point mutation of an arginine residue (R495L) important for IP? coordination. In situ hybridization revealed that Dj.IP?R mRNA was most strongly expressed in the pharynx and optical nerve system as well as the reproductive system in sexualized planarians. Consistent with this observed tissue distribution, in vivo RNAi of Dj.IP?R resulted in a decreased egg-laying behavior suggesting Dj.IP?R plays an upstream role in planarian reproductive physiology.
