To test the hypothesis that inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) mediates adaptation and excitation in invertebrate photoreceptors, we measured its formation on a rapid time scale in squid retinas. For squid, excitation and adaption occurs within 0.1 and 1-2 s respectively. We could detect an elevation in InsP3 within 200 ms of a bright flash. This increase is about 240% over dark basal levels and is maintained for at least 2 min after a flash. The increase probably occurs in the photoreceptors, which are the only neurons in squid retinas. Analysis by h.p.l.c. indicates that the light-regulated isomer is Ins(1,4,5)P3, which is formed by the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PtdInsP2).
为了验证肌醇三磷酸(InsP3)介导无脊椎动物光感受器的适应性和兴奋性这一假设,我们在乌贼视网膜中以快速时间尺度测量了其形成过程。对于乌贼而言,兴奋和适应分别在0.1秒和1 - 2秒内发生。在明亮闪光后200毫秒内,我们能够检测到InsP3的升高。这种增加比黑暗基础水平高出约240%,并且在闪光后至少维持2分钟。这种增加可能发生在光感受器中,光感受器是乌贼视网膜中唯一的神经元。高效液相色谱分析表明,光调节的异构体是Ins(1,4,5)P3,它由磷脂酰肌醇二磷酸(PtdInsP2)水解形成。
