RESUMO
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-evoked Ca2+ signals display great spatiotemporal malleability. This malleability depends on diversity in both the cellular organization and in situ functionality of IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) that regulate Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recent experimental data imply that these considerations are not independent, such that—as with other ion channels—the local organization of IP3Rs impacts their functionality, and reciprocally IP3R activity impacts their organization within native ER membranes. Here, we (i) review experimental data that lead to our understanding of the “functional architecture” of IP3Rs within the ER, (ii) propose an updated terminology to span the organizational hierarchy of IP3Rs observed in intact cells, and (iii) speculate on the physiological significance of IP3R socialization in Ca2+ dynamics, and consequently the emerging need for modeling studies to move beyond gridded, planar, and static simulations of IP3R clustering even over short experimental timescales.
