CELL BIOLOGY AND SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION

Inositol Trisphosphate Metabolism in Subcellular Fractions of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Mesophyll Cells

Phosphatases in cytosolic fractions, vacuoles, and vacuolar membranes from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves were found to dephosphorylate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). 1,4-inositol bisphosphate (1,4-IP2) is the main product of IP3 dephosphorylation by the cytosolic fraction. The activity was strictly Mg2+ dependent. In contrast, IP3 dephosphorylation activity of both the soluble vacuolar and the tonoplast fractions was inhibited up to 50% by Mg2+. When vacuolar membranes were incubated with IP3, 1,4-IP2 was produced only under neutral and slightly alkaline conditions. Under acidic conditions, however, dephosphorylation yielded putative 4,5-inositol bisphosphate. Li+ (20 mM) and Ca2+ (100 [mu]M) strongly inhibited activity in the soluble vacuolar fraction but had only a slight effect on the activities of the cytosolic and tonoplast fractions.
