Calcium signalling: IP3 rises again… and again
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent results indicate that 'regulators of G-protein signalling' may contribute to the generation of receptor-specific patterns of cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations by associating with specific receptors, accelerating G-protein inactivation and responding to changes in cytosolic Ca2+.

Endogenous signalling pathways and caged IP3 evoke Ca2+ puffs at the same abundant immobile intracellular sites
The building blocks of intracellular Ca2+ signals evoked by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are Ca2+ puffs, transient focal increases in Ca2+ concentration that reflect the opening of small clusters of IP3Rs. We use total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy and automated analyses to detect Ca2+ puffs evoked by photolysis of caged IP3 or activation of endogenous muscarinic...
متن کامل19-P041 The role of IP3 signalling during embryonic wound healing in Xenopus
A major goal in regenerative medicine is to understand and ultimately facilitate our body’s ability to repair itself following injury. As a first step toward this goal, we have begun to investigate the molecular and cellular basis of embryonic wound healing, given that embryos have the capacity to heal wounds quickly and completely. Tissue repair resembles embryo morphogenesis in several ways, ...
متن کاملCaffeine protects against experimental acute pancreatitis by inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-mediated Ca2+ release
OBJECTIVE Caffeine reduces toxic Ca2+ signals in pancreatic acinar cells via inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-mediated signalling, but effects of other xanthines have not been evaluated, nor effects of xanthines on experimental acute pancreatitis (AP). We have determined effects of caffeine and its xanthine metabolites on pancreatic acinar IP3R-mediated Ca2+ signalling...
متن کاملRole of [Ca]i in the ATP-Induced Heat Sensitization Process of Rat Nociceptive Neurons
Kress, M. and S. Guenther. Role of [Ca]i in the ATP-induced heat sensitization process of rat nociceptive neurons. J. Neurophysiol. 81: 2612–2619, 1999. In inflamed tissue, nociceptors show increased sensitivity to noxious heat, which may account for heat hyperalgesia. In unmyelinated nociceptive afferents in rat skin in vitro, a drop of heat threshold and an increase in heat responses were ind...
متن کاملCalcium signalling: How do IP3 receptors work?
The intracellular receptor for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is responsible for generation and control of very complex Ca2+ signals. New experimental approaches to studying the kinetics of the IP3 receptor are now beginning to give some insight into the mechanisms behind its rather bizarre properties.
