Abstract

An investigation of the effects of a number of inositol trisphosphate analogues on the transient kinetics of Ca2+ release from cerebellar microsomes was undertaken. All the analogues investigated could release the total Ca2+ content of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) mobilizable Ca2+ store; however, their potencies were substantially reduced compared to Ins(1,4,5)P3. The concentration required to induce half-maximal Ca2+ mobilization was 0.14 μM for Ins(1,4,5)P3, 1.8 μM for 3- deoxyinositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (3-deoxyInsP3), 1.0 μM for 2,3- dideoxyinositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (2,3-dideoxyInsP3), 24 μM for 2,3,6- trideoxyinositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (2,3,6-trideoxyInsP3), and 2.9 μM for inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(2,4,5)P3). In all cases and for all concentrations tested, the inositol trisphosphate analogues induced biphasic transient release of Ca2+, which could fit to a biexponential equation assuming two independent processes. The rate constants calculated for the release process were much larger for Ins(1,4,5)P3 than the other inositol trisphosphates (the fast phase rate constant varying from 0.3 to 1.6 s-1 and the slow phase from 0.01-0.5 s-1, at concentrations between 0.03 and 20 μM Ins(1,4,5)P3). The rate constants for all other inositol trisphosphates did not appear to exceed 0.4 s-1 for the fast phase and 0.1 s-1 for the slow phase at their highest concentrations tested. The maximum amplitudes for Ca2+ release by the two phases appeared to be similar for all inositol trisphosphates (approximately 45% for the fast phase and approximately 55% for the slow phase). On comparing the rate constants for Ca2+ release at inositol trisphosphate concentrations for the analogues which all induced the same extent of Ca2+ release, it was apparent that the rates of release were independent of the extent of Ca2+ release. As the extent of Ca2+ release can be related to degree of occupancy of the binding sites, it is evident that different analogues which occupy the binding site of the receptor to the same extent can induce Ca2+ to be released at different rates. We explain this conclusion in terms of partial agonism where inositol phosphates can induce two (or more) occupied states of the channel.
