IP3R3 (IP3R-3) was identified as a third inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor subtype localized to the endoplasmic reticulum that functions as a Ca2+ channel; recombinant rat IP3R3 expressed in COS-7 cells bound IP3, inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, and inositol hexakisphosphate, and immunohistochemistry confirmed ER localization. |

BAP1 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum where it binds, deubiquitylates, and stabilizes IP3R3, thereby modulating Ca2+ release from the ER into the cytosol and mitochondria and promoting apoptosis; reduced BAP1 levels decrease IP3R3 protein levels and Ca2+ flux, impairing apoptosis after genotoxic stress. |

The F-box protein FBXL2 binds IP3R3 and targets it for ubiquitin-, p97-, and proteasome-mediated degradation, limiting Ca2+ influx into mitochondria and apoptosis; PTEN competes with FBXL2 for IP3R3 binding, and PTEN loss accelerates FBXL2-dependent IP3R3 degradation. |

TOM70, a subunit of the mitochondrial outer membrane translocase, physically interacts with IP3R3 and promotes its functional recruitment to ER-mitochondria contact sites; TOM70 depletion specifically impairs IP3-linked ER-to-mitochondria Ca2+ transfer, dampening mitochondrial respiration and inducing autophagy. |

HCV non-structural protein NS5A forms a trimeric complex with IP3R3 and FBXL2, unmasking IP3R3's degron in the absence of IP3 stimulation and promoting constitutive IP3R3 degradation to limit apoptosis and facilitate viral replication; disruption of this complex stabilizes IP3R3 and suppresses HCV replication. |
