After fertilization in Xenopus laevis, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) mass increased from 53 to 261 fmol/cell and returned to near basal by 10 min after insemination. IP3 was also elevated over control egg levels during first mitosis and first cleavage. Because IP3 levels and the fertilization calcium wave decline at about the same time and because calcium ionophore or pricking the egg increased IP3, the fertilization calcium wave may be due to calcium-induced IP3 production. In addition, the onset of sperm motility was associated with an increase, whereas the acrosomal reaction was accompanied by a decrease in IP3 mass. Combining our published data with this report, the first chronology of the levels of IP3 from the induction of meiosis (maturation) through fertilization and cleavage in one cellular system is summarized. These data suggest an in vivo dose response for IP3 and calcium release. A small (17 fmol/cell) IP3 change during the induction of meiosis may not be associated with a calcium change. Larger IP3 changes at cleavage (40 fmol/cell) and mitosis (125 fmol/cell) are associated with localized small calcium increases, whereas the largest IP3 change (208 fmol/cell) is associated with the large calcium increase at fertilization.
