beta-amyloid (A beta) peptides are known to disrupt calcium homeostasis in cells. In the present study, the effects of A beta(25-35) upon the activity of soluble Ins(1,4,5)P3-5-phosphatase have been investigated. A beta(25-35) inhibited, and dithiothreitol (DTT) increased the activity of soluble rat cerebellar Ins(1,4,5)P3-5-phosphatase. The change in activity was not accompanied by an obvious change in the sensitivity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3-5-phosphatase to inhibition by glucose-6-phosphate or phytic acid. A beta(35-25) also inhibited soluble Ins(1,4,5)P3-5-phosphatase activity, but at a lower potency than A beta(25-35). It is concluded that A beta(25-35) affects the metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 although the potency is not sufficiently high to contribute to any significant extent to the effects of this peptide upon calcium homeostasis.
