Abstract: | The metabolism of exogenously added d-myo-1-3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) has been examined in microsomal membrane and soluble fractions of carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells grown in suspension culture. When 3H]IP3 was added to a microsomal membrane fraction, 3H]IP2 was the primary metabolite consisting of approximately 83% of the total recovered 3H] by paper electrophoresis. 3H]IP was only 6% of the 3H] recovered, and 10% of the 3H]IP3 was not further metabolized. In contrast, when 3H]IP3 was added to the soluble fraction, approximately equal amounts of 3H]IP2 and 3H]IP were recovered. Ca2+ (100 micromolar) tended to enhance IP3 dephosphorylation but inhibited the IP2 dephosphorylation in the soluble fraction by about 20%. MoO42− (1 millimolar) inhibited the dephosphorylation of IP3 by the microsomal fraction and the dephosphorylation of IP2 by the soluble fraction. MoO42−, however, did not inhibit the dephosphorylation of IP3 by the soluble fraction. Li+ (10 and 50 millimolar) had no effect on IP3 metabolism in either the soluble or membrane fraction; however, Li+ (50 millimolar) inhibited IP2 dephosphorylation in the soluble fraction about 25%. |
