Calcium
Calcium is stored in the endoplasmic reticulum
CGB
Changes in intracellular calcium signaling
occur in many diseases
Huntington’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease
Schizophrenia
Heart Failure
Bile Duct Obstruction
Polycystic Kidney Disease
InsP3R are concentrated
in cerebellar Purkinje cells

What we have learned already
Structure changes during activity
surprisingly large conformational changes
suggests there is a mechanical gate
Good idea where InsP3 binds
the shape of the binding pocket will suggest
classes of compounds to test as
agonists and antagonists
Disease-related changes in calcium signaling
Chromogranin B levels are
lower in brain tissue from
patients with schizophrenia
Loss of InsP3R from bile duct
epithelia is found in diseases
that block the bile duct

What we hope to learn
Can we design new channel openers and closers?
Where do the regulatory factors bind?
Can these regulatory proteins be used
as pharmacological agents?
Can the structure tell us why the InsP3Rs cluster
and go to distinct places in the cell?
