title: Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate-induced Ca(2+) release. Interactions among distinct Ca(2+) mobilizing mechanisms in starfish oocytes.
abstract: An intracellular mechanism activated by nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP(+)) contributes to intracellular Ca(2+) release alongside inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-P(3)) and ryanodine receptors. The NAADP(+)-sensitive mechanism has been shown to be operative in sea urchin eggs, ascidian eggs, and pancreatic acinar cells. Furthermore, most mammalian cell types can synthesize NAADP(+), with nicotinic acid and NADP(+) as precursors. In this contribution, NAADP(+)-induced Ca(2+) release has been investigated in starfish oocytes. Uncaging of injected NAADP(+) induced Ca(2+) mobilization in both immature oocytes and in oocytes matured by the hormone 1-methyladenine (1-MA). The role of extracellular Ca(2+) in NAADP(+)-induced Ca(2+) mobilization, which was minor in immature oocytes, was instead essential in mature oocytes. Thus, the NAADP(+)-sensitive Ca(2+) pool, which is known to be distinct from those sensitive to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate or cyclic ADPribose, apparently migrated closer to (or became part of) the plasma membrane during the maturation process. Inhibition of both Ins-P(3) and ryanodine receptors, but not of either alone, substantially inhibited NAADP(+)-induced Ca(2+) mobilization in both immature and mature oocytes. The data also suggest that NAADP(+)-induced Ca(2+) mobilization acted as a trigger for Ca(2+) release via Ins-P(3) and ryanodine receptors.
