Microinjection of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate induced distinct chloride membrane currents in defolliculated Xenopus laevis oocytes. To decide whether these Cl(-)-currents were due to the injected compounds or their metabolic products, [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 or [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 were injected into oocytes and their metabolites were analyzed by HPLC. Our results indicate that Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 itself or its metabolite Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 is able to induce Cl(-)-membrane currents, most likely by increasing the cytosolic Ca(++)-concentration.
