    Abstract:
    The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) is a Ca(2+) release channel that plays a pivotal role in regulating intracellular Ca(2+) levels in resting cells. Three isoforms of IP(3)Rs have been identified, and they all possess a large regulatory domain that covers about 60% of the protein. This regulation is accomplished by interaction with small molecules, posttranslational modifications, and mostly protein-protein interactions. In our search for new binding partners of the IP(3)R, we found that 90-kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) binds to the IP(3)R. This interaction increased on stimulation of HEK293T6.11 cells with insulin but not with G(q) protein-coupled receptor (G(q)PCR) agonists. Moreover, the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) disrupted the interaction between Hsp90 and the IP(3)R. Pretreatment of HEK293T6.11 cells with GA greatly increased the intracellular Ca(2+) release induced by a G(q)PCR agonist. Insulin alone did not induce any intracellular Ca(2+) release. However, insulin diminished the intracellular Ca(2+) release induced by a G(q)PCR agonist. Interestingly, GA abolished the inhibitory effect of insulin on G(q)PCR-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release. Furthermore, in our search for a mechanistic explanation to this phenomenon, we found that inhibition of kinases activated downstream of the insulin receptor greatly increased the interaction between Hsp90 and the IP(3)R. Of greater interest, we found that the simultaneous inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin and the Src kinase almost completely disrupted the interaction between Hsp90 and the IP(3)R. These results demonstrate that insulin promotes the interaction of Hsp90 with the IP(3)R to dampen its Ca(2+) release activity by a complex mechanism involving mammalian target of rapamycin and the Src kinase.
