title: Inositol(3,4)bisphosphate and inositol(1,3)bisphosphate in GH4 cells--evidence for complex breakdown of inositol(1,3,4)trisphosphate.
abstract: Analysis of inositol bisphosphates in GH4 cells labelled with [3H]myo-inositol shows that these cells contain three detectable inositol bisphosphates: inositol(1,4)bisphosphate, and two novel inositol bisphosphates. These latter inositol bisphosphates were degraded by periodate oxidation, borohydride reduction and alkaline phosphatase dephosphorylation; each yielded single non-cyclic alditols, ribitol and threitol, indicating that they must be respectively inositol(1,3)bisphosphate and inositol(3,4) bisphosphate. These two inositol bisphosphates are putative breakdown products of inositol(1,3,4)trisphosphate, and their occurrence suggests a complex route of hydrolysis of inositol(1,3,4)trisphosphate in intact cells.
