Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal ∼220-amino acid region of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor (IP(3)R)/Ca(2+) release channel has been referred to as the suppressor/coupling domain because it is required for both IP(3) binding suppression and IP(3)-induced channel gating. Measurements of IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) fluxes of mutagenized mouse type 1 IP(3)R (IP(3)R1) showed that the residues responsible for IP(3) binding...
