Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a second messenger
for Ca2+ mobilization via the ryanodine receptor (RyR) from
islet microsomes for insulin secretion (Takasawa, S., Nata, K.,
Yonekura, H., and Okamoto, H. (1993) Science 259, 370-373). In the present study, FK506, an immunosuppressant that
prolongs allograft survival, as well as cADPR were found to induce the
release of Ca2+ from islet microsomes. After islet
microsomes were treated with FK506, the Ca2+ release by
cADPR from microsomes was reduced. cADPR as well as FK506 bound to
FK506-binding protein 12.6 (FKBP12.6), which we also found occurs
naturally in islet microsomes. When islet microsomes were treated with
cADPR, FKBP12.6 dissociated from the microsomes and moved to the
supernatant, releasing Ca2+ from the intracellular stores.
The microsomes that were then devoid of FKBP12.6 did not show
Ca2+ release by cADPR. These results strongly suggest that
cADPR may be the ligand for FKBP12.6 in islet RyR and that the binding
of cADPR to FKBP12.6 frees the RyR from FKBP12.6, causing it to release Ca2+.
Glucose is the primary stimulus of insulin secretion and synthesis
in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans (1-3). Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR)1 is generated in pancreatic islets
by glucose stimulation, serving as a second messenger for
Ca2+ mobilization in the endoplasmic reticulum to secrete
insulin (4-6). cADPR activates the ryanodine receptor (RyR) of a
variety of cells to release Ca2+ from the intracellular
stores (4, 6-16). RyRs have been purified from both skeletal and
cardiac muscle (17, 18), and FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) and
FK506-binding protein 12.6 (FKBP12.6) were copurified with type 1 RyR
from striated muscle and with type 2 RyR from cardiac muscle,
respectively (19, 20). FKBP12 and FKBP12.6 were shown to bind
selectively to type 1 and type 2 RyR, respectively (21). It was
reported that the type 1 RyR was activated by dissociation of FKBP12
from the RyR by the addition of FK506 to release Ca2+
(22).
In the present study, we show that cADPR binds to FKBP12.6, that
FKBP12.6 is present in islet microsomes, and that when cADPR was added
to islet microsomes, FKBP12.6 was dissociated from the microsomes to
release Ca2+.

Microsomes were prepared as described
previously (4, 6). In brief, 2,000 islets from Wistar male rats
(240-280 g) were homogenized with a Pellet mixer (Treff, Degersheim,
Switzerland) in 0.2 ml of acetate intracellular medium composed of 250 mM potassium acetate, 250 mM
N-methylglucamine, 1 mM MgCl2, and
20 mM Hepes (pH 7.2) supplemented with 0.5 mM
ATP, 4 mM phosphocreatine, creatine phosphokinase (2 units/ml), 2.5 mM benzamidine, and 0.5 mM
phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. After the homogenates had been
centrifuged for 45 s at 13,000 × g, the
microsomes were prepared by Percoll density gradient centrifugation at
20,000 × g for 40 min at 10 °C. Release of
Ca2+ was monitored in 0.6 ml of intracellular medium
composed of 250 mM potassium gluconate, 250 mM
N-methylglucamine, 1 mM MgCl2, and
20 mM Hepes (pH 7.2) supplemented with 1 mM
ATP, 4 mM phosphocreatine, creatine phosphokinase (2 units/ml), 2.5 mM benzamidine, 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 7 µg/ml bovine brain calmodulin (6),
and 3 µM Fluo 3 with the addition of 30 µl of the islet microsome fraction (10 µg of protein) (4, 6). FK506 or cADPR (4, 6)
was added into the incubation, and Fluo 3 fluorescence was measured at
490 nm excitation and 535 nm emission with a JASCO CAF-110
intracellular ion analyzer (Tokyo, Japan) at 37 °C (6). Total
accumulated Ca2+ in islet microsomes was estimated by the
increase of Fluo 3 fluorescence caused by the addition of 200 nM ionomycin (Sigma) to the Ca2+ release medium
containing the microsomes, and the ambient free Ca2+
concentration ([Ca2+]) was calculated using the following
equation, as described previously (6): [Ca2+] = Kd × (F 1 µl of rat islet cDNA library
(2 × 106 plaque-forming unit) (23, 24) was used as a
template for PCR (23-25). The sequences of sense and antisense primers
were 5 RT-PCR was performed as described previously (23,
24). The oligonucleotides corresponding to 48-68
(5 Rat islet microsomes (100 µg of
protein) were chromatographed on 20% SDS-polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis (30) and transferred to Immobilon P. The membrane was
incubated with a monoclonal antibody against human FKBP12 or with an
anti-FKBP12.6 antiserum, which also reacts with rat FKBP12 (see Fig.
4A). The monoclonal antibody was diluted at 0.2 µg/ml, and
the antiserum was diluted 2000 times with 5% milk powder. After
rinsing, the membrane was incubated with a sheep anti-mouse antibody
labeled with horseradish peroxidase or with a goat anti-rabbit antibody
labeled with horseradish peroxidase and developed using the ECL
reagents as described (6, 25).
The cDNA encoding rat FKBP12.6 was
subcloned into a pMALc2 vector and recombinant maltose binding protein
(MBP)-FKBP12.6 fusion protein was expressed in the cytoplasm of
Escherichia coli. The fusion protein was purified to
homogeneity by amylose resin chromatography. MBP-FKBP12.6 fusion
protein (100 nM) was incubated with the indicated concentrations of FK506 or cADPR in the presence of
[proryl-3H]dihydro-FK506 (0.5 µCi) or
[3H]cADPR (0.5 µCi) that was prepared from
[3H]NAD+ by Aplysia kurodai
ADP-ribosyl cyclase (4, 6) in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline at
25 °C for 30 min. MBP-FKBP12.6 was precipitated with amylose resin,
and the radioactivity of the precipitate was measured with a Beckman
scintillation spectrometer (LS-6500). Kd values were
calculated using DeltaGraph® Pro 3 (DeltaPoint, Inc.). The binding
specificity of FKBP12.6 was examined as described above using 100 nM of [proryl-3H]dihydro-FK506 or
[3H]cADPR with 100 µM of cADPR, FK506,
NAD+, ATP, ADP-ribose, nicotinamide,
D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, and
ryanodine as competitors.
We have previously shown that islet microsomes release
Ca2+ in response to cADPR (4). In the present study, we
found that FK506, one of the most widely used immunosuppressive agents,
induced the release of Ca2+ from islet microsomes. The
dose-response curve of FK506 on the Ca2+ release from islet
microsomes was concentration-dependent, with half-maximal
release occurring at 2 µM, and maximal Ca2+
release occurring at 10 µM (Fig.
1A). In addition, as shown in Fig.
1B, after the islet microsomes were treated with FK506, the Ca2+ release by cADPR from the microsomes was reduced
depending on the concentration of FK506; the maximal reduction was seen
at 5-25 µM FK506. Because cADPR and FK506 appear to
induce the release of Ca2+ by a common mediator, we next
tried to determine if this occurs by a targeting of the same ligand.
The cellular target for FK506 is thought to be FKBP12 and FKBP12.6.
Therefore, we isolated FKBP12 and FKBP12.6 cDNAs from a rat islet
cDNA library. As shown in Fig. 2A, rat
FKBP12 is composed of 108 amino acids and highly conserved with human
(31, 32), mouse (26), bovine (33), and rabbit (19) FKBP12. Rat FKBP12.6
is also a 108-amino acid protein and completely conserved with human
(27, 28) and bovine (33) FKBP12.6. RT-PCR analyses revealed that FKBP12
and FKBP12.6 mRNAs were ubiquitously expressed in rat tissues
including pancreatic islets and streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced
insulinomas (Fig. 2B); FKBP12 mRNA was detected in
RINm5F cells, but FKBP12.6 mRNA was not. RINm5F cells, rat
insulinoma-derived immortal cells, which do not release
Ca2+ in response to cADPR (34), synthesize and secrete very
little insulin and show negligible sensitivity to glucose (35).
Streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced insulinomas contain as much insulin
mRNA as normal islets (36-38) and retain the sensitivity to
glucose (39). Therefore, it is FKBP12.6 rather than FKBP12 that plays a
role in the CD38-cADPR signaling (5) in insulin secretion by glucose in
islets, because CD38, which catalyzes the synthesis and degradation of
cADPR (23, 40, 41), a second messenger for Ca2+
mobilization in glucose-induced insulin secretion in islets (4, 5), is
expressed in islets and streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced insulinomas
but not in RINm5F cells (23, 24). We then isolated microsomes from rat
islets and carried out immunoblot analyses. As shown in Fig. 2
(C and D), although islet microsomes did not contain FKBP12 (Fig. 2C, lane 4), the microsomes
contained FKBP12.6 (Fig. 2D, lanes 5 and
6), suggesting that FKBP12.6 is the target for FK506 and/or
cADPR to release Ca2+ from islet microsomes.
Next, we examined the binding of FKBP12.6 to cADPR. The recombinant rat
FKBP12.6 bound to FK506 at a Kd value of 32 nM. As shown in Fig. 3A, cADPR
was found to bind to FKBP12.6 at a Kd value of 35 nM. The cADPR binding was inhibited by FK506 and neither
structurally nor functionally related analogues of cADPR inhibited the
cADPR binding to FKBP12.6 (Fig. 3B). These results indicate
that FKBP12.6 acts as a cADPR-binding protein and strongly suggest that
cADPR is the actual ligand for FKBP12.6 because FK506 does not normally
exist in mammalian cells.
It was reported that FKBP12/12.6 bound to RyR tightly and that by the
addition of FK506, FKBP12/12.6 were dissociated from RyR to form
FK506-FKBP12/12.6 complexes (19, 22, 33). In addition, the open
probability of the type 1 RyR Ca2+ channel was greatly
increased when FKBP12 was released from the RyR by the addition of
FK506 (22). As shown in Fig. 4, after treatment of islet
microsomes with cADPR, FKBP12.6 was not detected in the microsomes but
was recovered in the supernatant (Fig. 4A), and
Ca2+ release from the microsome treated by cADPR or FK506
was reduced. FK506 as well as cADPR then had almost no effect in
releasing Ca2+ from the 1 µM cADPR-pretreated
microsomes (Fig. 4B). Our recent experiment indicated that
type 2 RyR is expressed in rat islets.2
From these results, it is strongly suggested that when cADPR binds to
FKBP12.6 in islet microsome RyR and causes the dissociation of FKBP12.6
from the RyR to form FKBP12.6-cADPR complex, the channel activity of
the RyR is thereby increased to release Ca2+ from the
endoplasmic reticulum. As described previously (6), the RyR can also be
activated by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein
kinase II. The interaction between the dissociation of FKBP12.6 from
RyR and the phosphorylation of RyR by
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II
remains to be elucidated.
