Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is produced in cells as a breakdown product of the diphosphorylated form of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Stimulated breakdown of phosphoinositides has been correlated with a wide variety of hormonal stimuli which mobilize intracellular calcium, and IP3 has recently been found to cause calcium release from intracellular stores, thus implicating it as a second messenger in hormonal stimulation. In this paper we have examined the effect of IP3 on protein phosphorylation, and have found that IP3 stimulates phosphorylation of a 62-kDa protein in cell lysates made from cultured monkey fibroblasts and from bovine brain. Fifty per cent maximal stimulation of phosphorylation of this protein occurred at 2.5 X 10(-7) M IP3. Other inositol phosphates (inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, inositol 1-phosphate, inositol hexaphosphate, and myo-inositol) had no effect on protein phosphorylation at 10(-6)M, although inositol 1,4-bisphosphate at higher concentrations enhanced phosphorylation of the 62-kDa protein in brain lysates. The IP3-stimulated phosphorylation was calcium-independent and did not appear to result from inhibition of an endogenous protein phosphatase. We suggest that IP3, like other second messengers, acts as a protein kinase regulator.

We have isolated additional cDNA clones encoding type II inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5-phosphatase II) resulting in a combined cDNA of 3076 nucleotides encoding a protein of 942 amino acids. The 5-phosphatase II hydrolyzed both Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2 and the phospholipid PtdIns(4,5)P2 to PtdIns(4)P both in vitro and in vivo. There are two motifs highly conserved between types I and II 5-phosphatase and several other proteins presumed to be inositol phosphatases suggesting a possible role in catalysis. The type II 5-phosphatase also contains homology to several GTPase activating proteins although no such activity for 5-phosphatase II was found. The predicted protein ends with the sequence CNPL, suggesting that it is isoprenylated as a mechanism for membrane attachment. We found evidence for isoprenylation by demonstrating incorporation of [3H]mevalonate into native but not C939S mutant 5-phosphatase II expressed in Sf9 insect cells. Furthermore, we showed that membrane localization and the activity of 5-phosphatase II toward its lipid substrate PtdIns(4,5)P2 is reduced by eliminating 5-phosphatase II isoprenylation in the mutant C939S relative to the native enzyme.

The mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores by Ins(1,4,5)P3 in suspensions of permeabilized rat hepatocytes was potentiated by preincubating intact cells with adenosine 3':5'-cyclic phosphorothioate (cpt-cAMP), or by addition of the catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) after cell permeabilization. This action of PKA involved both an enhancement in Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitivity and an increase in the size of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-releasable Ca2+ pool. Inclusion of the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid in the permeabilization medium augmented the effects of PKA. Treatment with PKA catalytic subunit also increased the rate of ATP-dependent Ca2+ sequestration. To determine whether the effects of PKA on the Ca(2+)-release mechanism were secondary to alterations in the Ca2+ load of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive stores, a method was developed using Mn2+ as a Ca2+ surrogate to examine the permeability properties of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-gated channels independent of Ca2+ fluxes. This approach utilized the ability of Mn2+ to quench the fluorescence of fura-2 compartmentalized within intracellular Ca2+ stores in an Ins(1,4,5)P3-dependent manner, with thapsigargin added to block the ATP-activated Ca2+ pump and to ensure that the Ca2+ stores were fully depleted of Ca2+. The initial rate and extent of Mn2+ quenching of compartmentalized fura-2 was increased in a dose-dependent manner by Ins(1,4,5)P3. PKA activation increased both the initial rate and the extent of Mn2+ quenching at sub-maximal Ins(1,4,5)P3 doses, but there was no effect on the quench rate in the presence of saturating Ins(1,4,5)P3. However, the amount of compartmentalized fura-2 that could be quenched by Mn2+ in the presence of maximal Ins(1,4,5)P3 was increased by PKA. These data suggest two distinct actions of PKA on the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ stores. (1) Modification of the ion-permeability properties of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor/channel through an increase in the sensitivity to Ins(1,4,5)P3 for channel opening. (2) A recruitment of Ca2+ stores from the Ins(1,4,5)P3-insensitive pool. Both actions were independent of the Ca(2+)-loading state of the stores. Imaging studies of single permeabilized hepatocytes showed that the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive stores were distributed throughout the cell and PKA enhanced the rate of Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Mn2+ quench in individual cells, without modifying the subcellular distribution of Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive stores.

Two short amino acid motifs, WXGDXNXR and PXWCDRXL, define a large family of inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases. We tested the importance of seven of these conserved amino acids to substrate binding and catalysis by mutating each to alanine in the platelet 75 kDa inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase II (5-phosphatase II). Native and mutant forms of 5-phosphatase II were expressed in baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells, and the recombinant proteins were purified by Mono Q chromatography and studied for enzyme activity. Mutants D476A, N478A, D553A, and R554A had no detectable activity using all four known substrates for this enzyme. Mutants R480A, W551A, and I555A showed greatly reduced hydrolysis of Ins(1,4,5)P3 when compared to native enzyme [Km = 75 microM, Vm = 8300 nmol of Ins(1,4,5)P3 hydrolyzed min-1 (mg of protein)-1]. Mutants W551A and I555A had a Km for Ins(1,4,5)P3 hydrolysis similar to that of the native enzyme (35 microM and 81 microM, respectively), suggesting that these amino acids do not play a role in binding substrate. By contrast, mutant R480A had both increased Km (634 microM) and decreased Vm [855 nmol of Ins(1,4,5)P3 hydrolyzed min-1 (mg of protein)-1]. As judged by measurement of Km, mutant R480A retained normal binding of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, suggesting that the arginine in motif 2 has a greater role in Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding than in Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 binding. Mutant I555A bound Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 with 8-fold reduced affinity. These mutations markedly reduced 5-phosphatase II hydrolysis of the three other substrates, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, PtdIns(4,5)P2, and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. We also tested a mutation comparable to D553A, D460A, in the 110 kDa form of the signaling inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5SIP110). 5SIP110 D460A had no detectable enzyme activity but retained the ability to bind GRB2. These results are consistent with a role for these conserved amino acids in substrate binding and catalysis.

An inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase (SIP-110) that binds the SH3 domains of the adaptor protein GRB2 was produced in Sf9 cells and characterized. SIP-110 binds to GRB2 in vitro with a stoichiometry of 1 mol of GRB2/0.7 mol of SIP-110. GRB2 binding does not affect enzyme activity implying that GRB2 serves mainly to localize SIP-110 within cells. SIP-110 hydrolyses inositol (Ins)(1,3,4,5)P4 to Ins(1, 3,4)P3. The enzyme does not hydrolyze Ins(1,4,5)P3 that is a substrate for previously described 5-phosphatases nor does it hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)(4,5)P2. SIP-110 also hydrolyzed PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 to PtdIns(3,4)P2 as did recombinant forms of two other 5-phosphatases designated as inositol polyphosphate-5- phosphatase II, and OCRL (the protein that is mutated in oculocerebrorenal syndrome). The inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase enzyme family now is represented by at least 9 distinct genes and includes enzymes that fall into 4 subfamilies based on their activities toward various 5-phosphatase substrates.

Agonist stimulation causes the endocytosis of many G protein-coupled receptors, including muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. In this study we have investigated the agonist-triggered trafficking of the M3 muscarinic receptor expressed in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. We have compared the ability of a series of agonists to generate the second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P3 with their ability to stimulate receptor endocytosis. We show that there is a good correlation between the intrinsic activity of the agonists and their ability to increase the rate constant for receptor endocytosis. Furthermore, on the basis of our results, we predict that even very weak partial agonists should under some circumstances be able to cause substantial receptor internalization. Receptor endocytosis occurs too slowly to account for the rapid desensitization of the Ca2+ response to carbachol. Instead, receptor endocytosis and recycling appear to play an important role in resensitization. After an initial agonist challenge, the response to carbachol is fully recovered when only about half of the receptors have been recycled to the cell surface, suggesting that there is a receptor reserve of about 50%. Removal of this reserve by receptor alkylation significantly reduces the extent of resensitization. Resensitization is also reduced by inhibitors of either endocytosis alone (concanavalin A) or of endocytosis and recycling (nigericin). Finally, the protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A also reduces resensitization, possibly by blocking the dephosphorylation of the receptors in an endosomal compartment.

Fc(epsilon)RI-induced Ca2+ signaling in mast cells is initiated by activation of cytosolic tyrosine kinases. Here, in vitro phospholipase assays establish that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) lipid product, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate, further stimulates phospholipase Cgamma2 that has been activated by conformational changes associated with tyrosine phosphorylation or low pH. A microinjection approach is used to directly assess the consequences of inhibiting class IA PI 3-kinases on Ca2+ responses after Fc(epsilon)RI cross-linking in RBL-2H3 cells. Injection of antibodies to the p110beta or p110delta catalytic isoforms of PI 3-kinase, but not antibodies to p110alpha, lengthens the lag time to release of Ca2+ stores and blunts the sustained phase of the calcium response. Ca2+ responses are also inhibited in cells microinjected with recombinant inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase I, which degrades inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), or heparin, a competitive inhibitor of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. This indicates a requirement for Ins(1,4,5)P3 to initiate and sustain Ca2+ responses even when PI 3-kinase is fully active. Antigen-induced cell ruffling, a calcium-independent event, is blocked by injection of p110beta and p110delta antibodies, but not by injection of 5-phosphatase I, heparin, or anti-p110alpha antibodies. These results suggest that the p110beta and p110delta isoforms of PI 3-kinase support Fc(epsilon)RI-induced calcium signaling by modulating Ins(1,4,5)P3 production, not by directly regulating the Ca2+ influx channel.

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.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) and cAMP are the two second messengers that play an important role in neuronal signaling. Here, we investigated the interactions of InsP(3)- and cAMP-mediated signaling pathways activated by dopamine in striatal medium spiny neurons (MSN). We found that in approximately 40% of the MSN, application of dopamine elicited robust repetitive Ca(2+) transients (oscillations). In pharmacological experiments with specific agonists and antagonists, we found that the observed Ca(2+) oscillations were triggered by activation of D1 class dopamine receptors (DARs). We further demonstrated that activation of phospholipase C was required for induction of dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations and that maintenance of dopamine-evoked Ca(2+) oscillations required both Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) mobilization from internal Ca(2+) stores. In "priming" experiments with a type 2 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor agonist, we have shown a likely role for calcyon in coupling D1 class DARs with Ca(2+) oscillations in MSN. In experiments with the DAR-specific agonist SKF83959, we discovered that phospholipase C activation alone could not account for dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations. We further demonstrated that direct activation of protein kinase A by 8-bromo-cAMP or inhibition of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) or calcineurin (PP2B) resulted in elevation of basal Ca(2+) levels in MSN, but not in Ca(2+) oscillations. In experiments with competitive peptides, we have shown an importance of type 1 InsP(3) receptor association with PP1alpha and with AKAP9.protein kinase A for dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations. In experiments with MSN from DARPP-32 knock-out mice, we demonstrated a regulatory role of DARPP-32 in dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations. Our results indicate that, following D1 class DAR activation, InsP(3) and cAMP signaling pathways converge on the type 1 InsP(3) receptor, resulting in Ca(2+) oscillations in MSN.

Investigation of chemically synthesized inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] analogs has led to the isolation of a novel binding protein with a molecular size of 130 kDa, characterized as a molecule with similar domain organization to phospholipase C-d1 (PLC-d1) but lacking the enzymatic activity. An isoform of the molecule was subsequently identified, and these molecules have been named PRIP (PLC-related, but catalytically inactive protein), with the two isoforms named PRIP-1 and -2. Regarding its ability to bind Ins(1,4,5)P3 via the pleckstrin homology domain, the involvement of PRIP-1 in Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated Ca2+ signaling was examined using COS-1 cells overexpressing PRIP-1 and cultured neurons prepared from PRIP-1 knock-out mice. Yeast two hybrid screening of a brain cDNA library using a unique N-terminus as bait identified GABARAP (GABAA receptor associated protein) and PP1 (protein phosphatase 1), which led us to examine the possible involvement of PRIP in GABAA receptor signaling. For this purpose PRIP knock-out mice were analyzed for GABAA receptor function in relation to the action of benzodiazepines from the electrophysiological and behavioral aspects. During the course of these experiments we found that PRIP also binds to the b-subunit of GABAA receptors and PP2A (protein phosphtase 2A). Here, we summarize how PRIP is involved in Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated Ca2+ signaling and GABAA receptor signaling based on the characteristics of binding molecules.
