The discovery and development of IP3 receptor modulators: an update [PDF]
Introduction: Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are intracellular calcium (Ca2+) release channels located on the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum. The availability of the structure of the ligand-binding domain of IP3Rs has enabled the design of compatible ligands, but the limiting step remains their actual effectiveness in a biological ...

From IP3RPEP6 Inhibition of IP3 receptor channels to insights: do channel subunits collaborate or cooperate? [PDF]
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor channels are intracellular ion channels activated by IP3 and provoking Ca2+ release from ER/SR stores, playing fundamental roles in various cell functions ranging from fertilization up to cell death control ...

The IP3 receptor and Ca2+ signaling in trypanosomes [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi, and the T. brucei group of parasites cause neglected diseases that affect millions of people around the world. These unicellular microorganisms have complex life cycles involving an insect vector and a mammalian host. Both groups of pathogens possess an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)/diacylglycerol (DAG) signaling pathway, and an

IP3 receptor orchestrates maladaptive vascular responses in heart failure [PDF]
Patients with heart failure (HF) have augmented vascular tone, which increases cardiac workload, impairing ventricular output and promoting further myocardial dysfunction. The molecular mechanisms underlying the maladaptive vascular responses observed in

IP3 Receptor-Dependent Cytoplasmic Ca2+ Signals Are Tightly Controlled by Cavβ3
Summary: Voltage-gated calcium channels (Cavs) are major Ca2+ entry pathways in excitable cells. Their β subunits facilitate membrane trafficking of the channel’s ion-conducting α1 pore and modulate its gating properties. We report that one β subunit, β3,

IRBIT Suppresses IP3 Receptor Activity by Competing with IP3 for the Common Binding Site on the IP3 Receptor [PDF]
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3Rs) are IP3-gated intracellular Ca2+ channels. We previously identified an IP3R binding protein, IRBIT, which binds to the IP3 binding domain of IP3R and is dissociated from IP3R in the presence of IP3. In the present study, we showed that IRBIT suppresses the activation of IP3R by competing with IP3

Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization induced by second messenger IP3 controls many cellular events in most of the eukaryotic groups. Despite the increasing evidence of IP3-induced Ca2+ in apicomplexan parasites like Plasmodium, responsible for malaria ...

Stimulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor subtypes by analogues of IP3. [PDF]
Most animal cells express mixtures of the three subtypes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) encoded by vertebrate genomes. Activation of each subtype by different agonists has not hitherto been examined in cells expressing defined ...

Serotonergic signals enhanced hamster sperm hyperactivation
In the present study, we investigated the regulatory mechanisms underlying sperm hyperactivation enhanced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in hamsters. First, we examined the types of 5-HT receptors that regulate hyperactivation.

Structural basis for activation and gating of IP3 receptors
IP3 receptors are intracellular calcium channels involved in numerous signaling pathways. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of type-3 IP3 receptors in multiple gating conformations, including the active state revealing the molecular ...
