| Abstract | The increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration that follows mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate Ins(1,4,5)P3 has been reported to modulate the sensitivity of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors. We have examined the effects of cytosolic Ca2+ on Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization in permeabilized hepatocytes. Increasing the free Ca2+ concentration in the medium ([Ca2+]m) caused a concentration-dependent increase in the sensitivity of the stores to Ins(1,4,5)P3; the concentration of Ins(1,4,5)P3 that caused half-maximal Ca2+ mobilization (EC50) decreased from 261 +/- 11 nM (n = 3) to 50 +/- 4 nM (n = 8) as [Ca2+]m was increased from approximately 7 nM to 1.6 microM. The EC50 for this effect of Ca2+ was approximately 250 nM. In addition, higher [Ca2+]m (> 600 nM) reduced the extent of Ca2+ release induced by a maximal concentration of Ins(1,4,5)P3; elevating [Ca2+]m to 2.6 microM reduced the proportion of Ca2+ releasable by Ins(1,4,5)P3 by 94 +/- 8% (n = 3). Both effects of Ca2+ were independent of Ca2(+)-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation. When elevated [Ca2+]m was returned to control levels, the sensitization of Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated Ca2+ mobilization reversed completely, whereas the reduction in the size of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool was reversed by only 59 +/- 12% (n = 5) after 20 s and was not further reversed after 100 s. The two distinct effects of Ca2+ on Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated Ca2+ release combined to control the amount of Ca2+ released by a submaximal concentration of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in a biphasic manner. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
