The influence of 1-D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) breakdown by InsP3 5-phosphatase in determining the time course of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores was investigated with flash photolytic release of a stable InsP3 derivative, 5-thio-InsP3, from a photolabile caged precursor. The potency and Ca(2+)-releasing properties of the biologically active D isomers of 5-thio-InsP3 and InsP3 itself were compared by photolytic release in guinea pig hepatocytes. After a light flash, cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) showed an initial delay before rising quickly to a peak and declining more slowly to resting levels, with time course and amplitude generally similar to those seen with photolytic release of InsP3. Differences were a three- to eightfold lower potency of 5-thio-InsP3 in producing Ca2+ release, much longer delays between photolytic release and Ca2+ efflux with low concentrations of 5-thio-InsP3 than with InsP3, and persistent reactivation of Ca2+ release, producing periodic fluctuations of cytosolic [Ca2+]i with high concentrations of 5-thio-InsP3 but not InsP3 itself. The lower potency of 5-thio-InsP3 may be a result of a lower affinity for closed receptor/channels or a lower open probability of liganded receptor/channels. The longer delays with 5-thio-InsP3 at low concentration suggest that metabolism of InsP3 by 5-phosphatase may reduce the concentration sufficiently to prevent receptor activation and may have a similar effect on InsP3 concentration during hormonal activation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
