‘Quanta’ Ca2+ release and the control of Ca2+ entry by inositol phosphates ‐ a possible mechanism

Open access
Irvine, R.F.·1990·FEBS Letters

Abstract

The release of Ca 2+ from intracellular stores by sub‐optimal doses of inositol trisphosphate has been shown to be dose‐related (‘quantal’), and a simple model is proposed here to account for this phenomenon. It is suggested that there is a regulatory Ca 2+‐binding site on, or associated with, the luminal domain of the InsP 3 receptor, which allosterically controls Ca 2+ efflux, and the affinity for Ca 2+ of that site is modulated by InsP 3 binding to the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor; a similar mechanism applied to the ryanodine receptor might also explain some aspects of Ca 2+ ‐induced Ca 2+ release. The stimulated entry of Ca 2+ into a cell which occurs upon activation of inositide‐linked receptors has been variously and confusingly proposed to be regulated by InsP 3, InsP 4, and/or a ‘capacitative’ Ca 2+ pool; the mechanism of InsP, receptor action suggested here is shown to lead to a potential reconciliation of all these conflicting proposals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
