The inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is an intracellular Ca2+ release channel expressed predominately on the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum. IP3R1 can be cleaved by caspase or calpain into at least two receptor fragments. However, the functional consequences of receptor fragmentation are poorly understood. Our previous work has demonstrated that IP3R1 channels, formed following either enzymatic fragmentation or expression of the corresponding complementary polypeptide chains, retain tetrameric architecture and are still activated by IP3 binding, despite the loss of peptide continuity. In the current study, we demonstrate that region specific receptor fragmentation modifies channel regulation. Specifically, the agonist-evoked temporal Ca2+ release profile and protein kinase A modulation of Ca2+ release is markedly altered. Moreover, we also demonstrate that activation of fragmented IP3R1 can result in a distinct functional outcome. Our work suggests that proteolysis of IP3R1 may represent a novel form of modulation of IP3R1 channel function and increases the repertoire of Ca2+ signals achievable through this channel.
