    Abstract

    In brain and many other tissues, Type I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 5-phosphatase is the major isozyme hydrolysing the calcium-mobilizing second messenger InsP3. We recently reported the cloning and expression of dog thyroid InsP3 5-phosphatase. During the course of this cloning, screening of a human brain cDNA library allowed us to isolate a cDNA clone D1 with 91% sequence identity with the thyroid sequence. When clone D1 was expressed in Escherichia coli, the fusion protein had InsP3 5-phosphatase activity. M(r) estimates of the recombinant enzyme made by immunodetection, activity assay after SDS/PAGE or silver staining were consistent with the calculated molecular mass. In situ hybridization on human cerebellum sections localised the mRNA for this enzyme to the Purkinje cells.
