Abstract excerpt
The three isoforms of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) exhibit distinct IP(3) sensitivities and cooperativities in calcium (Ca(2+)) channel function. The determinants underlying this isoform-specific channel gating mechanism have been localized to the N-terminal suppressor region of IP(3)R. We determined the 1.9 Å crystal structure of the suppressor domain from type 3 IP(3)R (IP(3)R3(SUP), amino...
