The Physiologic Concentration of Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate in the Oocytes of Xenopus laevis

Veronica Luzzi, Christopher E. Sims, Joseph S. Soughayer, and Nancy L. Allbritton

From the Department of Physiology and Biophysics University of California, Irvine, California 92697-4560

To measure the concentration of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate ([IP3]) in small regions of single Xenopus oocytes, a biological detector cell was combined with capillary electrophoresis. This method is 10,000 times more sensitive than all existing assays enabling subcellular measurement of [IP3] in Xenopus oocytes. Upon addition of lysophosphatidic acid to an oocyte, [IP3] increased from 40 to 650 nM within 2 min. IP3 concentrations as high as 1.8 µM were measured after activation with lysophosphatidic acid, suggesting that the physiologic concentration of IP3 ranges from the tens of nanomolar to a few micromolar in Xenopus oocytes. Since the IP3 receptor in Xenopus oocytes is nearly identical to the type I receptor of mammalian cells, the range of [IP3] in most mammalian cells is likely to be similar to that in the oocyte. By selecting or engineering the appropriate detector cell, this strategy should be applicable to cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and to the discovery of new Ca2+-releasing second messengers.
