Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding protein is a ubiquitous protein involved in the Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; signalling processes in a variety of organisms &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:12442173&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Overall Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type 1 InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein does not belong to a superfamily of proteins.  The receptor is thought to span the membrane 6 times, leaving the C-terminus in the cytoplasm.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

=== Binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; Ligand: Mechanism and Structural Components===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; &amp;lt;scene name=&#039;Sandbox_170/1n4k/8&#039;&amp;gt;ligand&amp;lt;/scene&amp;gt; sits between the two domains of the protein.  Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsible for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Since the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand is highly charged, it is very likely to interact with the positively charged amino acids present in the N-terminus InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding domain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In all likelihood, the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site has been found to be made up of multiple sequences present throughout the N-terminal area of the protein.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  This makes the tertiary structure of the protein and proper folding absolutely integral to the function: if the protein does not fold correctly, then the multiple sequences of the protein making up the binding region cannot come together to be at all functional in binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&lt;br /&gt;

== Function ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Role in Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; regulation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate functions to increase the cytosolic concentration of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:10378086&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is formed at the plasma membrane, diffuses into the cytosol, and binds to the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor which is found in the membrane of intracellular Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; stores.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The release of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; can propagate to other cells and can help to coordinate the functionality of organ systems.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Areas of the body rich in the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor are the cerebellum and, more specifically, the endoplasmic reticulum, and even the plasma membrane and nuclei of some tissues.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Recent results also suggest that InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptors work in intrinsic Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; channel activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulation of receptor activity ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sequences within the receptor protein have been found to interact with accessory proteins.  Additionally, there are sites for ATP binding and for phosphorylation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  All of these interactions would play a role in the regulation of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor protein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The stimulatory activity of ATP likely occurs through consensus adenine nucleotide-binding motifs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The inhibitory effect of ATP is thought to arise through its charged nature, acting as a competitive antagonist at the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein can autophosphorylate itself and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  These kinases include cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and others.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein kinases are thought to interact with the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor by controlling the sensitivity to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in different tissues as well as affecting the sensitivity of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; itself to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulation of receptor activity ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sequences within the receptor protein have been found to interact with accessory proteins.  Additionally, there are sites for ATP binding and for phosphorylation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  All of these interactions would play a role in the regulation of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor protein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The stimulatory activity of ATP likely occurs through consensus adenine nucleotide-binding motifs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The inhibitory effect of ATP is thought to arise through its charged nature, acting as a competitive antagonist at the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein can autophosphorylate itself and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  These kinases include cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and others.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein kinases are thought to interact with the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor by controlling the sensitivity to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in different tissues as well as affecting the sensitivity of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; itself to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; &amp;lt;scene name=&#039;Sandbox_170/1n4k/8&#039;&amp;gt;ligand&amp;lt;/scene&amp;gt; sits between the two domains of the protein.  Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsible for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Since the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand is highly charged, it is very likely to interact with the positively charged amino acids present in the N-terminus InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding domain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in Insp&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In all likelihood, the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site has been found to be made up of multiple sequences present throughout the N-terminal area of the protein.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  This makes the tertiary structure of the protein and proper folding absolutely integral to the function: if the protein does not fold correctly, then the multiple sequences of the protein making up the binding region cannot come together to be at all functional in binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&lt;br /&gt;

== Function ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Role in Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; regulation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate functions to increase the cytosolic concentration of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:10378086&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is formed at the plasma membrane, diffuses into the cytosol, and binds to the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor which is found in the membrane of intracellular Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; stores.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The release of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; can propagate to other cells and can help to coordinate the functionality of organ systems.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Areas of the body rich in the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor are the cerebellum and, more specifically, the endoplasmic reticulum, and even the plasma membrane and nuclei of some tissues.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Recent results also suggest that InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptors work in intrinsic Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; channel activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulation of receptor activity ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sequences within the receptor protein have been found to interact with accessory proteins.  Additionally, there are sites for ATP binding and for phosphorylation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  All of these interactions would play a role in the regulation of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor protein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The stimulatory activity of ATP likely occurs through consensus adenine nucleotide-binding motifs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The inhibitory effect of ATP is thought to arise through its charged nature, acting as a competitive antagonist at the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein can autophosphorylate itself and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  These kinases include cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and others.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein kinases are thought to interact with the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor by controlling the sensitivity to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in different tissues as well as affecting the sensitivity of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; itself to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding protein is a ubiquitous protein involved in the Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; signalling processes in a variety of organisms &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:12442173&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Overall Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type 1 InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein does not belong to a superfamily of proteins.  The receptor is thought to span the membrane 6 times, leaving the C-terminus in the cytoplasm.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

The receptor is thought to span the membrane 6 times, leaving the C-terminus in the cytoplasm.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

=== Binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; Ligand: Mechanism and Structural Components===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsible for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Since the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand is highly charged, it is very likely to interact with the positively charged amino acids present in the N-terminus InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding domain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in Insp&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In all likelihood, the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site has been found to be made up of multiple sequences present throughout the N-terminal area of the protein.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  This makes the tertiary structure of the protein and proper folding absolutely integral to the function: if the protein does not fold correctly, then the multiple sequences of the protein making up the binding region cannot come together to be at all functional in binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&lt;br /&gt;

== Function ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Role in Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; regulation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate functions to increase the cytosolic concentration of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:10378086&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is formed at the plasma membrane, diffuses into the cytosol, and binds to the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor which is found in the membrane of intracellular Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; stores.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The release of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; can propagate to other cells and can help to coordinate the functionality of organ systems.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Areas of the body rich in the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor are the cerebellum and, more specifically, the endoplasmic reticulum, and even the plasma membrane and nuclei of some tissues.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Recent results also suggest that InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptors work in intrinsic Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; channel activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulation of receptor activity ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sequences within the receptor protein have been found to interact with accessory proteins.  Additionally, there are sites for ATP binding and for phosphorylation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  All of these interactions would play a role in the regulation of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor protein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The stimulatory activity of ATP likely occurs through consensus adenine nucleotide-binding motifs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The inhibitory effect of ATP is thought to arise through its charged nature, acting as a competitive antagonist at the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein can autophosphorylate itself and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  These kinases include cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and others.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein kinases are thought to interact with the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor by controlling the sensitivity to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in different tissues as well as affecting the sensitivity of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; itself to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding protein is a ubiquitous protein involved in the Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; signalling processes in a variety of organisms &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:12442173&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overall Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type 1 InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein does not belong to a superfamily of proteins.  The receptor is thought to span the membrane 6 times, leaving the C-terminus in the cytoplasm.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; Ligand: Mechanism and Structural Components===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsible for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Since the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand is highly charged, it is very likely to interact with the positively charged amino acids present in the N-terminus InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding domain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in Insp&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In all likelihood, the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site has been found to be made up of multiple sequences present throughout the N-terminal area of the protein.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  This makes the tertiary structure of the protein and proper folding absolutely integral to the function: if the protein does not fold correctly, then the multiple sequences of the protein making up the binding region cannot come together to be at all functional in binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&lt;br /&gt;

== Function ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Role in Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; regulation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate functions to increase the cytosolic concentration of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:10378086&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is formed at the plasma membrane, diffuses into the cytosol, and binds to the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor which is found in the membrane of intracellular Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; stores.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The release of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; can propagate to other cells and can help to coordinate the functionality of organ systems.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Areas of the body rich in the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor are the cerebellum and, more specifically, the endoplasmic reticulum, and even the plasma membrane and nuclei of some tissues.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Recent results also suggest that InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptors work in intrinsic Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; channel activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulation of receptor activity ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sequences within the receptor protein have been found to interact with accessory proteins.  Additionally, there are sites for ATP binding and for phosphorylation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  All of these interactions would play a role in the regulation of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor protein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The stimulatory activity of ATP likely occurs through consensus adenine nucleotide-binding motifs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The inhibitory effect of ATP is thought to arise through its charged nature, acting as a competitive antagonist at the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein can autophosphorylate itself and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  These kinases include cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and others.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein kinases are thought to interact with the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor by controlling the sensitivity to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in different tissues as well as affecting the sensitivity of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; itself to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The mechanism of the Ins&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; protein has been mentioned, but this section will describe it in more detail.  &lt;br /&gt;

The presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate functions to increase the cytosolic concentration of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:10378086&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is formed at the plasma membrane, diffuses into the cytosol, and binds to the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor which is found in the membrane of intracellular Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; stores.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The release of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; can propagate to other cells and can help to coordinate the functionality of organ systems.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Areas of the body rich in the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor are the cerebellum and, more specifically, the endoplasmic reticulum, and even the plasma membrane and nuclei of some tissues.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Recent results also suggest that InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptors work in intrinsic Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; channel activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulation of receptor activity ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sequences within the receptor protein have been found to interact with accessory proteins.  Additionally, there are sites for ATP binding and for phosphorylation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  All of these interactions would play a role in the regulation of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor protein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The stimulatory activity of ATP likely occurs through consensus adenine nucleotide-binding motifs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The inhibitory effect of ATP is thought to arise through its charged nature, acting as a competitive antagonist at the IP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein can autophosphorylate itself and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  These kinases include cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and others.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein kinases are thought to interact with the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor by controlling the sensitivity to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in different tissues as well as affecting the sensitivity of IP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; itself to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding protein is a ubiquitous protein involved in the Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; signalling processes in a variety of organisms &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:12442173&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Overall Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type 1 InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein does not belong to a superfamily of proteins.  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The stimulatory activity of ATP likely occurs through consensus adenine nucleotide-binding motifs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The inhibitory effect of ATP is thought to arise through its charged nature, acting as a competitive antagonist at the IP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-binding site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R protein can autophosphorylate itself and is a substrate for multiple protein kinases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  These kinases include cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and others.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein kinases are thought to interact with the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor by controlling the sensitivity to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in different tissues as well as affecting the sensitivity of IP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; itself to Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding protein is a ubiquitous protein involved in the Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; signalling processes in a variety of organisms &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:12442173&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Overall Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type one InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsile for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in Insp&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Additionally, there are sites for ATP binding and for phosphorylation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  All of these interactions would play a role in the regulation of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; receptor protein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very important property of the receptor is that it is regulated by Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; concentrations.  Lower concentrations make the receptor more sensitive to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; while high concentrations can inhibit the receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Also, the receptor itself can bind Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; itself at more than one site.  A Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding site within the ligand binding domain may even suggest that these Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; binding sites are involved in the effects Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; has on InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding to its ligand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of regulation by ATP on the receptor is very similar to that of Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.  Increased ATP concentrations increase receptor activity whereas higher concentrations decrease receptor activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;functionref&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Overall Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type one InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding protein is a ubiquitous protein involved in the Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; signalling processes in a variety of organisms &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PMID:12442173&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Overall Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type one InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

=== Binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; Ligand ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsile for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in Insp&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mainpaper&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The structures of the two domains can be seen in the image below.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsile for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in Insp&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;

=== Domain Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A possible option for this kind of binding domain would be the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; binding suppressor domain present at the N-terminus which reduces the binding affinity for the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; ligand.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The structures of the two domains can be seen in the image below.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Binding the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; Ligand ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highly basic amino acid residues are present on both domains and are responsile for the binding of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In binding, water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding between InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and its receptor as well as interactions between protein side chains and phosphorous.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Coordination of phosphorous groups is mediated by residues in both the β-domain and α-domain.  The hydroxyl groups of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; play a small role in binding to InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;  Additionally, 9 out of 12 Arg/Lys residues play a very important role in ligand binding and salt bridges to stabilize between the domain regions.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The non-basic residues T266, T267, G268, and Y567 are also integral in Insp&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; coordination: if T267, G268 or Y567 residues are mutated then there will be a significant reduction in ligand binding.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding protein is a ubiquitous protein involved in the Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; signalling processes in a variety of organisms &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R) protein discussed here is the mouse type one InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R, also called InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1.  This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The protein fold of the β-domain can also be called the β-trefoil.  This element is present in other proteins as well, including fibroblast growth factors and mannose receptors.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In the case of the InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R β-trefoil, the structure was found to be very similar to the β-trefoil of the mannose receptor.  In the β-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, three of six two-stranded hairpins come together to form a barrel and the other three form a triangular cap for the barrel.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The α-domain of InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R shows a high degree of homology with an element called an armidillo repeat fold found in proteins such as β-catenin and importins.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  In β-catenin and importins, the armadillo repeat functions as a motif for protein-protein interactions.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Within the α-domain of mouse InsP&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;R1, there are two large, highly conserved surfaces.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;  Both regions are rich in aromatic residues, indicating that they may function as interaction sites for parts of the receptor or other cellular proteins.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[1]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
