Abstract
We developed new biochemical approaches to demonstrate the presence of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3)-gated calcium channels in presynaptic plasma membranes (SPM) and their involvement in the presynaptic receptor-mediated Ca2+ influx into nerve terminals. In perfusion experiments using SPM vesicles preloaded with 45Ca2+, InsP3 elicited the release of 45CA2+ into perfusates in a saturable manner. The InsP3- evoked 45Ca2+ release from resealed SPM vesicles was more potent than that from resealed vesicles using any other subcellular fractions. Here we also report the involvement of InsP3-gated mechanisms in the presynaptic receptor-mediated Ca2+ influx into synaptosomes (nerve terminals) by use of such resealed vesicles reconstituted with purified Gi1.Entities:
