  • Title: Ca2+/calmodulin-sensitive inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase in rat and bovine brain tissues.
    Author: Takazawa K, Passareiro H, Dumont JE, Erneux C.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1988 Jun 16; 153(2):632-41. PubMed ID: 2838022.
    Abstract:
    Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins P3) 3-kinase catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of Ins P3 to Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins P4). Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-sensitivity of Ins P3 3-kinase was measured in the crude soluble fraction from rat brain and different anatomic regions of bovine brain. Kinase activity was inhibited in the presence of EGTA (free Ca2+ below 1 nM) as compared to Ca2+ (10 microM free Ca2+) or Ca2+ (10 microM free Ca2+) and CaM (1 microM). Ca2+-sensitivity was also seen for the cAMP phosphodiesterase measured under the same assay conditions, but was not for the Ins P3 5-phosphatase. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the soluble fraction of rat brain or bovine cerebellum resolved a Ca2+/CaM-sensitive Ins P3 3-kinase (maximal stimulation at 1 microM Ins P3 substrate level was 2.0-3.0 fold).
