ABSTRACT
Concerted openings of clustered inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) result in short, localized Ca2+ bursts, also called puffs, which are crucial regulators of Ca2+-dependent signaling processes. However, the processes regulating Ca2+ puff amplitude (average ∼0.5 ΔF/F0) and duration (at half-maximal; average ∼25-30 ms) have yet to be elucidated. A recent study in JBC by Smith and Taylor determined that Ca2+ puff amplitude is independent of IP3R cluster density and that the termination of IP3R Ca2+ puff is regulated by IP3 dissociation, illuminating the steps of this regulatory dance.
