We have expressed the N-terminal 581 amino acids of type 1 myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R1), IP3R2 and IP3R3 as recombinant proteins [ligand-binding site 1 (lbs-1), lbs-2, lbs-3] in the soluble fraction of Escherichia coli. These recombinant proteins contain the complete IP3-binding domain and bound IP3 and adenophostin A with high affinity. Ca2+ and calmodulin were previously found to maximally inhibit IP3 binding to lbs-1 by 42±6 and 43±6% respectively, and with an IC50 of approx. 200 nM and 3 μM respectively [Sipma, De Smet, Sienaert, Vanlingen, Missiaen, Parys and De Smedt (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 12157-12562]. We now report that Ca2+ inhibited IP3 binding to lbs-3 with an IC50 of approx. 700 nM (37±4% inhibition at 5 μM Ca2+), while IP3 binding to lbs-2 was not affected by increasing [Ca2+] from 100 nM to 25 μM. Calmodulin (10 μM) inhibited IP3 binding to lbs-3 by 37±4%, while IP3 binding to lbs-2 was inhibited by only 11±2%. The inhibition of IP3 binding to lbs-3 by calmodulin was dose-dependent (IC50≈ 2 μM). We conclude that the IP3-binding domains of the various IP3R isoforms differ in binding characteristics for IP3 and adenophostin A, and are differentially modulated by Ca2+ and calmodulin, suggesting that the various IP3R isoforms can have different intracellular functions.

The type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R1) is an intracellular Ca2+ channel protein that plays crucial roles in generating complex Ca2+ signalling patterns. IP3R1 consists of three domains: a ligand-binding domain, a regulatory domain and a channel domain. In order to investigate the function of these domains in its gating machinery and the physiological significance of specific cleavage by caspase 3 that is observed in cells undergoing apoptosis, we utilized various IP3R1 constructs tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Expression of GFP-tagged full-length IP3R1 or IP3R1 lacking the ligand-binding domain in HeLa and COS-7 cells had little effect on cells’ responsiveness to an IP3-generating agonist ATP and Ca2+ leak induced by thapsigargin. On the other hand, in cells expressing the caspase-3-cleaved form (GFP–IP3R1-casp) or the channel domain alone (GFP–IP3R1-ES), both ATP and thapsigargin failed to induce increase of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. Interestingly, store-operated (−like) Ca2+ entry was normally observed in these cells, irrespective of thapsigargin pre-treatment. These findings indicate that the Ca2+ stores of cells expressing GFP–IP3R1-casp or GFP–IP3R1-ES are nearly empty in the resting state and that these proteins continuously leak Ca2+. We therefore propose that the channel domain of IP3R1 tends to remain open and that the large regulatory domain of IP3R1 is necessary to keep the channel domain closed. Thus cleavage of IP3R1 by caspase 3 may contribute to the increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentration often observed in cells undergoing apoptosis. Finally, GFP–IP3R1-casp or GFP–IP3R1-ES can be used as a novel tool to deplete intracellular Ca2+ stores.
