In cytosol-like medium (CLM) with a free [Ca(2+)] of 200 nm, a supramaximal concentration of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) (30 microm) evoked (45)Ca(2+) release from type 3 IP(3) receptors only after a latency of 48 +/- 6 ms; this latency could not be reduced by increasing the IP(3) concentration. In CLM containing a low free [Ca(2+)] ( approximately 4 nm), 300 microm IP(3) evoked (45)Ca(2+) release after a latency of 66 +/- 11 ms; this was reduced to 14 +/- 3 ms when the [Ca(2+)] was 1 mm. Preincubation with CLM containing 100 microm Ca(2+) caused a rapid (half-time = 33 +/- 9 ms), complete, and fully reversible inhibition that could not be overcome by a high concentration of IP(3) (300 microm). Hepatic (type 2) IP(3) receptors were not inhibited by Ca(2+) once they had bound IP(3), but 100 microm Ca(2+) rapidly inhibited type 3 IP(3) receptors whether it was delivered before addition of IP(3) or at any stage during a response to IP(3). Ca(2+) increases the affinity of IP(3) for hepatic receptors by slowing IP(3) dissociation, but Ca(2+) had no effect on IP(3) binding to type 3 receptors. The rate of inhibition of type 3 IP(3) receptors by Ca(2+) was faster than the rate of IP(3) dissociation, and occurred at similar rates whether receptors had bound a high (adenophostin) or low affinity (3-deoxy-3-fluoro-IP(3)) agonist. Dissociation of agonist is not therefore required for Ca(2+) to inhibit type 3 IP(3) receptors. We conclude that type 2 and 3 IP(3) receptors are each biphasically regulated by Ca(2+), but by different mechanisms. For both, IP(3) binding causes a stimulatory Ca(2+)-binding site to be exposed allowing Ca(2+) to bind and open the channel. IP(3) binding protects type 2 receptors from Ca(2+) inhibition, but type 3 receptors are inhibited by Ca(2+) whether or not they have IP(3) bound. Increases in cytosolic [Ca(2+)] will immediately inhibit type 3 receptors, but inhibit type 2 receptors only after IP(3) has dissociated.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) mediate Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, contributing to complex regulation of numerous physiological responses. The involvement of the three IP3R genes (ITPR1, ITPR2 and ITPR3) in inherited human diseases has started to shed light on the essential roles of each receptor in different human tissues and cell types. Variants in the ITPR3 gene, which encodes IP3R3, have recently been found to cause demyelinating sensorimotor Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 1J (CMT1J).

During skeletal muscle unloading, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and especially PI3K gamma (PI3Kγ), can be activated by changes in membrane potential. Activated IP3 can increase the ability of Ca to enter the nucleus through IP3 receptors. This may contribute to the activation of transcription factors that initiate muscle atrophy processes.

Astrocytes from different brain regions respond with Ca elevations to the catecholamine norepinephrine (NE). However, whether this noradrenergic-mediated signaling is present in astrocytes from the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a dopaminergic circuit receiving noradrenergic inputs, has not yet been investigated. To fill in this gap, we applied a pharmacological approach along with two-photon microscopy and an AAV strategy to express a genetically encoded calcium indicator in VTA astrocytes.

Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are specialized regions where two or more organelle membranes come into close apposition, typically separated by only 10-30 nm, while remaining distinct and unfused. These sites play crucial roles in cellular homeostasis, signaling, and metabolism. This review focuses on ion channels, transporters, and receptors localized to MCSs, with particular emphasis on those associated with the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

The activation of IP receptor (IPR) Ca channels generates agonist-mediated Ca signals that are critical for the regulation of a wide range of biological processes. It is therefore surprising that CRISPR induced loss of all three IPR isoforms (TKO) in HEK293 and HeLa cell lines yields cells that can survive, grow and divide, albeit more slowly than wild-type cells. In an effort to understand the adaptive mechanisms involved, we have examined the activity of key Ca dependent transcription factors (NFAT, CREB and AP-1) and signaling pathways using luciferase-reporter assays, phosphoprotein immunoblots and whole genome transcriptomic studies.
