IP₃ receptors in cell survival and apoptosis: Ca²⁺ release and beyond
2007
Joseph, Suresh K | Hajnóczky, György
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP₃Rs) serve to discharge Ca²⁺ from ER stores in response to agonist stimulation. The present review summarizes the role of these receptors in models of Ca²⁺-dependent apoptosis. In particular we focus on the regulation of IP₃Rs by caspase-3 cleavage, cytochrome c, anti-apoptotic proteins and Akt kinase. We also address the evidence that some of the effects of IP₃Rs in apoptosis may be independent of their ion-channel function. The role of IP₃Rs in delivering Ca²⁺ to the mitochondria is discussed from the perspective of the factors determining inter-organellar dynamics and the spatial proximity of mitochondria and ER membranes.
