Popis: SUMMARY Receptor-mediated oscillations in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) could originate either directly from an autonomous Ca2+ feedback oscillator at the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor or as a secondary consequence of IP3 oscillations driven by Ca2+ feedback on IP3 metabolism. It is challenging to discriminate these alternatives, because IP3 fluctuations could drive Ca2+ oscillations or could just be a secondary response to the [Ca2+]i spikes. To investigate this problem, we constructed a recombinant IP3 buffer using type-I IP3 receptor ligand-binding domain fused to GFP (GFP-LBD), which buffers IP3 in the physiological range. This IP3 buffer slows hormone-induced [IP3] dynamics without changing steady-state [IP3]. GFP-LBD perturbed [Ca2+]i oscillations in a dose-dependent manner: it decreased both the rate of [Ca2+]i rise and the speed of Ca2+ wave propagation and, at high levels, abolished [Ca2+]i oscillations completely. These data, together with computational modeling, demonstrate that IP3 dynamics play a fundamental role in generating [Ca2+]i oscillations and waves.
Graphical Abstract
In Brief Gaspers et al. use a genetically encoded IP3 buffer to suppress IP3 dynamics during hormonal stimulation. Using this approach, they find that positive feedback of Ca2+ on IP3 formation is an essential component, generating long-period, baseline-separated Ca2+ oscillations and intracellular Ca2+ waves.
