title: Metabotropic receptor activation, desensitization and sequestration-II: modelling the dynamics of the pleckstrin homology domain.
abstract: Recent observations have been made regarding the generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), using chimeras of green fluorescent protein and the pleckstrin homology domain of phospholipase C-delta. In this paper a model is presented giving the quantitative relations between the green fluorescent protein-pleckstrin homology domain (GFP-PHD) construct and membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) levels as well as the concentration of IP(3), the product of hydrolysis of PIP(2). The model can correctly reproduce the dependence of cytosolic GFP-PHD fluorescence on IP(3) concentration. This model extends a previous one (Metabotropic receptor activation, desensitization and sequestration-I: modelling calcium and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate dynamics following receptor activation, in this issue) dealing with the processes governing the production of IP(3) and the subsequent calcium (Ca2+) changes in cells following activation of metabotropic receptors. This model is applied to the case of purinergic P(2)Y(2) receptor activation in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (Science 284 (1999) 1527). It is shown that it can correctly reproduce the dependence of GFP-PHD fluorescence on the concentration of P(2)Y(2) receptor ligand, as well as the temporal changes of GFP-PHD fluorescence following application of ligand.
