title: Regulation of the localization and activity of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase B in intact cells by proteolysis.
abstract: IP3K (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase) catalyses the Ca2+-regulated phosphorylation of the second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P3, thereby inactivating the signal to release Ca2+ and generating Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Here we have investigated the localization and activity of IP3KB and its modulation by proteolysis. We found that the N- and C-termini (either side of residue 262) of IP3KB localized predominantly to the actin cytoskeleton and ER (endoplasmic reticulum) respectively, both in COS-7 cells and in primary astrocytes. The functional relevance of this was demonstrated by showing that full-length (actin-localized) IP3KB abolished the histamine-induced Ca2+ response in HeLa cells more effectively than truncated constructs localized to the ER or cytosol. The superior efficacy of full-length IP3KB was also attenuated by disruption of the actin cytoskeleton. By transfecting COS-7 cells with double-tagged IP3KB, we show that the translocation from actin to ER may be a physiologically regulated process caused by Ca2+-modulated constitutive proteolysis in intact cells.
