The main phototransduction cascade in invertebrate visual cells involves the turnover of phosphatidylinositol, an important biochemical mechanism common to many signal-transduction systems. Light-activated rhodopsin stimulates guanine nucleotide exchange on the Gq class of G-protein, which activates phospholipase C to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Subsequently, inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding proteins continue the signal cascade. Here, we report on the first inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding proteins demonstrated in an invertebrate visual system with our investigation of the photosensitive rhabdoms of squid. We screened the ability of proteins to interact with inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate by affinity column chromatography with an inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate analogue. We detected an inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding affinity in phospholipase C, receptor kinase and five other proteins in the cytosolic fraction and, surprisingly, rhodopsin in the membrane fraction. A binding assay with (3)H-labelled inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate demonstrated the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate affinity of each of the purified proteins. Since rhodopsin, receptor kinase and phospholipase C are involved upstream of phosphatidylinositol turnover in the signal cascade, our result suggests that phosphatidylinositol turnover is important in feedback pathways in the signalling system.

We have reported that two inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding proteins, with molecular masses of 85 and 130 kDa, were purified from rat brain; the former protein was found to be the ∆1-isoenzyme of phospholipase C (PLC-∆1) and the latter was an unidentified novel protein [Kanematsu, Takeya, Watanabe, Ozaki, Yoshida, Koga, Iwanaga and Hirata (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 6518-6525]. Here we describe the isolation of the full-length cDNA for the 130 kDa Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding protein, which encodes 1096 amino acids. The predicted sequence of the 130 kDa protein had 38.2% homology to that of PLC-∆1. Three known domains of PLC-∆1 (pleckstrin homology and putative catalytic X and Y domains) were located at residues 110-222, 377-544 and 585-804 with 35.2%, 48.2% and 45.8% homologies respectively. However, the protein showed no PLC activity to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol. The 130 kDa protein expressed by transfection in COS-1 cells bound Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the same way as the molecule purified from brain. Thus the 130 kDa protein is a novel Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding protein homologous to PLC-∆1, but with no catalytic activity. The functional significance of the 130 kDa protein is discussed.

The two-pore-domain K+ channel, TASK-1, was recently shown to be a target of receptor-mediated regulation in neurons and in adrenal glomerulosa cells. Here, we demonstrate that TASK-1 expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes is inhibited by different Ca2+-mobilizing agonists. Lysophosphatidic acid, via its endogenous receptor, and ANG II and carbachol, via their heterologously expressed ANG II type 1a and M1 muscarinic receptors, respectively, inhibit TASK-1. This effect can be mimicked by guanosine 5′- O-(3-thiotriphosphate), indicating the involvement of GTP-binding protein(s). The phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 reduced the receptor-mediated inhibition of TASK-1. Downstream signals of phospholipase C action (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, and diacylglycerol) do not mediate the inhibition. Unlike the Gq-coupled receptors, stimulation of the Gi-activating M2 muscarinic receptor coexpressed with TASK-1 results in an only minimal decrease of the TASK-1 current. However, additional coexpression of phospholipase C-β2 (which is responsive also to Giβγ-subunits) renders M2 receptor activation effective. This indicates the significance of phospholipase C activity in the receptor-mediated inhibition of TASK-1.

In airway smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from mouse lung slices, ≥10 μM ATP induced Ca2+oscillations that were accompanied by airway contraction. After ∼1 min, the Ca2+oscillations subsided and the airway relaxed. By contrast, ≥0.5 μM adenosine 5′- O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (nonhydrolyzable) induced Ca2+oscillations in the SMCs and an associated airway contraction that persisted for >2 min. Adenosine 5′- O-(3-thiotriphosphate)-induced Ca2+oscillations occurred in the absence of external Ca2+but were abolished by the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor inhibitor xestospongin. Adenosine, AMP, and α,β-methylene ATP had no effect on airway caliber, and the magnitude of the contractile response induced by a variety of nucleotides could be ranked in the following order: ATP = UTP > ADP. These results suggest that the SMC response to ATP is impaired by ATP hydrolysis and mediated via P2Y2or P2Y4receptors, activating phospholipase C to release Ca2+via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. We conclude that ATP can serve as a spasmogen of airway SMCs and that Ca2+oscillations in SMCs are required to sustain airway contraction.

We have recently reported that, in SH-SY5Y cells, mu-opioid receptor occupancy activates phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein. In the present study we have further characterized the mechanisms involved in this process. Fentanyl (0.1 microM) caused a monophasic increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate mass formation, with a peak (20.5 +/- 3.6 pmol/mg of protein) at 15 s. Incubation in Ca(2+)-free buffer abolished this response, while Ca2+ replacement 1 min later restored the stimulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation (20.1 +/- 0.6 pmol/mg of protein). In addition, nifedipine (1 nM-0.1 mM), an L-type Ca(2+)-channel antagonist, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation, with an IC50 of 60.3 +/- 1.1 nM. Elevation of endogenous beta/gamma subunits by selective activation of delta-opioid and alpha 2 adrenoceptors failed to stimulate phospholipase C. Fentanyl also caused a dose-dependent (EC50 of 16.2 +/- 1.0 nM), additive enhancement of carbachol-induced inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation. In summary, we have demonstrated that in SH-SY5Y cells activation of the mu-opioid receptor allows Ca2+ influx to activate phospholipase C. However, the possible role of this mechanism in the process of analgesia remains to be elucidated.
