DuringXenopusfertilization, the initial intracellular calcium ((Ca2+)i) release at the sperm-egg binding site (hot spot) has not been described without the use of inhibitors, nor related to underlying ER structure. Without inhibitors, we now report that sperm induce an initial hot spot after sperm addition toXenopuseggs that was ~25 µm. This area is consistent with the size of ER patches and clusters of IP3 receptors that have enhanced activity. Furthermore, we find a new mechanism for the fertilization (Ca2+)iwave; instead of outward diffusion of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), we find that the wave was generated by an outward, clockwise rotation of a ~63 µm disk of elevated (Ca2+)imoving very rapidly at ~65 µm/s. We also suggest a new mechanism for the acceleration of the fertilization (Ca2+)iwave as the disk accelerated and was joined by other rotating disks (some rotating counterclockwise) at a time when the speed of the (Ca2+)iwave increases. To examine the role of phosphatidic acid (PA) in the release of (Ca2+)iduringXenopusfertilization, we find that two inhibitors of PA production delayed the appearance of fertilization hot spots by ~9–12 min but did not reduce the size of hot spots and actually accelerated the later (Ca2+)iwave. Surprisingly, global addition of PA toXenopuseggs induced localized hot spots at a time and size that was similar to those induced after sperm addition. In contrast, sperm induce a rapid (Ca2+)iwave (~4 µm/s) within ~30 s after hot spot appearance, whereas hot spots induced by PA required an ~32 min to induce a very slow (~1 µm/s) (Ca2+)iwave with a lower peak of (Ca2+)i. Thus, PA may not be required for the initial release of (Ca2+)iat the sperm-egg binding site, but mimics sperm by inducing a similarly sized localized (Ca2+)irelease. As compared with sperm, PA may induce a weak, slow (Ca2+)iwave by slowly increasing IP3 receptor clustering. Addition of PA toXenopusoocytes, or Ca2+ionophore to eitherXenopusoocytes or eggs, did not induce hot spots but a global (Ca2+)iwave that rapidly moved at ~12 µm/s.
