Abstract
Islet-activating protein (IAP; pertussis toxin) was employed to test the hypothesis that IAP-sensitive GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) are coupled with alpha 1-adrenergic receptor in rat liver plasma membranes. The high-affinity state of the binding of alpha 2-adrenergic agonist, which is known to be coupled with IAP-sensitive G protein, was abolished in IAP-treated plasma membranes. IAP treatment of plasma membranes could also diminish the high-affinity state of the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor for the agonist. Restoration of the high-affinity state of the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor for the agonist occurred on reconstitution of the bovine brain IAP-sensitive G proteins. The alpha 1-adrenergic receptor agonist stimulated inositol triphosphate (InsP3) production from [3H]inositol-labeled liver plasma membranes in a concentration-dependent manner. IAP treatment also decreased alpha 1-adrenergic-agonist-induced InsP3 production but not completely. From these results, we concluded that there is a possibility that both IAP-sensitive and IAP-insensitive G proteins were involved in alpha 1-adrenergic-receptor-stimulated phospholipase C activation in rat liver plasma membranes.

Abstract
When rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were incubated with staphylococcal leukocidin (F and S components) in the presence of 32Pi at 37 degrees C, incorporation of 32Pi into phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) occurred after a lag phase of 10 s and reached a maximal level at 60 s of 50- and 30-fold increase, respectively, compared with that of the control in the absence of the toxin. Whereas the amount of 32P radioactivity incorporated in PIP and PIP2 decreased to control levels in a few minutes, 32P incorporation into phosphatidic acid (PA) continuously increased over 3 min. These findings suggested an early activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in rabbit PMNs by leukocidin as shown by the rapid breakdown of PIP and PIP2 accompanied by the appearance of PA. The stimulatory effect of leukocidin on some enzymatic activities of the phosphatidylinositol pathway was further investigated by using PMN cell membrane preparations. In the presence of both the F and S components, enhanced 32P incorporation was observed not only in PIP2 and PA but also in PIP. While the F component mainly enhanced 32P incorporation into PIP2 and PA, the S component alone had no effect on 32P incorporation into PIP, PIP2, and PA. The F component alone enhanced conversion of PIP to [32P]PIP2 in the presence of unlabeled PIP and [gamma-32P]ATP, through the activation of PIP kinase. PIP kinase activity was potentiated by the addition of NAD and GTP. Subsequent formation of [32P]PA was also enhanced by the F component, resulting from activation of the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. These results suggested that the F component of staphylococcal leukocidin is responsible for the enhancement of phosphoinositide metabolism in rabbit PMN cell membranes.

Abstract
From porcine thyroid cell membranes, we purified five GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins); Nos. 1 to 3 have 41-kDa alpha-subunits, and Nos. 4 and 5 have 40-kDa alpha-subunits. They were chromatographically (Mono Q) separable and served as specific substrates for islet-activating protein (pertussis toxin). G-proteins 1 and 2 were indistinguishable from porcine brain Gi1 with respect to three criteria, i.e., mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), pI of the ADP-ribosylated alpha-subunit, and immunoreactivity. G-protein 3 was identified as Gi3 by immunoreactivity. The SDS-PAGE and isoelectric focusing (IEF) analyses identified G-proteins 4 and 5 as being chromatographically heterogeneous subtypes of Gi2 in comparison with a pure porcine brain preparation. The IEF analysis also disclosed that each of the Gi1, Gi2, and Gi3 subspecies isolated in the present study has a minor component characterized by a slightly lower pI of its alpha-subunit. We conclude that porcine thyroid tissue contains at least Gi1, Gi2, and Gi3, and that each is made up of heterogeneous populations.

Abstract
The subcellular distribution of GTP binding proteins in human neutrophils and their functional coupling to the N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP) receptor was characterized to provide insight into mechanisms of cellular activation. Human neutrophils were nitrogen cavitated and fractionated on discontinuous Percoll gradients. Four subcellular fractions were obtained: cytosol, light membranes enriched for plasma membranes, specific granules and azurophilic granules. ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by pertussis toxin (PT) revealed a major substrate of 40 kDa only in plasma membrane and cytosol, and antiserum specific for Gi alpha confirmed the presence of neutrophil Gi alpha in plasma membrane and cytosol and its absence from specific granules. The cytosolic PT substrate was shown to be mostly in monomeric form by molecular sieve chromatography. The rate of the ribosyltransferase reaction was several-fold lower in cytosol compared to plasma membranes, and the extent of ADP-ribosylation was greatly augmented by supplementation with beta gamma subunits in cytosol. ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by cholera toxin (CT) revealed substrates of 52, 43 and 40 kDa in plasma membrane alone. FMLP receptors in plasma membrane were shown to be coupled to the 40 kDa substrate for CT by ligand-modulation of ADP-ribosylation, while FMLP added to specific granules did not induce ribosylation of this substrate even though FMLP receptors were found in high density in this compartment. Both 24 and 26 kDa [32P]GTP binding proteins were found to codistribute with FMLP receptors in specific granules and plasma membranes. Functional evidence for the coupling of GTP binding proteins to the FMLP receptor in specific granules was obtained by modulating [3H]FMLP binding with GTP gamma S, and by accelerating [35S]GTP gamma S binding with FMLP.

Abstract
The effects of cholera toxin or pertussis toxin and nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs on Salmonella enteritidis endotoxin stimulation of iTxB2 and i6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis in control and endotoxin tolerant rat peritoneal macrophages were determined. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin alone had no effect on basal macrophage iTxB2 or i6-keto-PGF1 alpha production, but pertussis toxin (0.1, 1.0 and 10 ng/ml) significantly inhibited endotoxin-stimulated iTxB2 and i6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis. Pretreatment with cholera toxin, which did not affect basal iTxB2 or i6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis, significantly enhanced endotoxin-induced synthesis of iTxB2 and i6-keto-PGF1 alpha. The effects of pertussis and cholera toxin with or without endotoxin were significantly (P less than 0.05) less in macrophages from endotoxin tolerant rats compared to control macrophages. GTP[gamma-S] (100 microM) significantly increased iTxB2 synthesis and significantly augmented endotoxin-stimulated iTxB2 synthesis in control macrophages (P less than 0.05). However, in macrophages from endotoxin tolerant rats the effect of GTP[gamma-S] on iTxB2 synthesis was significantly less (P less than 0.05) compared to control macrophages. Collectively, these data suggest that: (1) guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins mediate endotoxin-stimulated arachidonic acid metabolism in rat peritoneal macrophages; and (2) endotoxin tolerance induces alterations in guanine nucleotide binding protein activity.

Abstract
Multiple molecular forms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase have been characterized in various tissues and cells according to their substrate specificity, intracellular location, and calmodulin dependence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible involvement of different molecular forms of phosphodiesterase in regulating the respiratory burst and lysosomal enzyme release responses of human neutrophils. Treatment with the selective cyclic AMP-specific, cyclic GMP-insensitive phosphodiesterase inhibitors Ro 20-1724 or rolipram, or the nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), resulted in inhibition of respiratory burst stimulated by the chemoattractants formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP) (IC50 values: 0.71-17 microM) and complement fragment C5a (IC50 values: 61-93 microM), but did not inhibit phagocytosis-stimulated respiratory burst (less than 10% inhibition at 100 microM). Selective inhibitors of calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase (ICI 74,917), calmodulin-insensitive, cyclic GMP-specific phosphodiesterase (M & B 22,948), cyclic GMP-stimulated phosphodiesterase (AR-L 57), or cyclic AMP-specific, cyclic GMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase (amrinone and cilostamide) exhibited little or no inhibitory effect on FMLP- or phagocytosis-stimulated respiratory burst (0-42% inhibition at 100 microM). Regulation of neutrophil activation by phosphodiesterase was also response specific, as Ro 20-1724, rolipram and IBMX were less potent inhibitors of FMLP-induced lysosomal enzyme release (0-14% inhibition at 100 microM). Analysis of human neutrophil preparations confirmed the existence of a cyclic AMP-specific, cyclic GMP-insensitive phosphodiesterase, which was associated with the particulate fraction of the cell. These results demonstrate a role for the cyclic AMP-specific, cyclic GMP-insensitive phosphodiesterase in the regulation of human neutrophil functions, which appears to be both stimulus specific and response specific.

Abstract
The stimulation of phospholipase A2 by thrombin and type 2 (P2)-purinergic receptor agonists in Chinese hamster ovary cells is mediated by the G protein Gi. To delineate alpha chain regulatory regions responsible for control of phospholipase A2, chimeric cDNAs were constructed in which different lengths of the alpha subunit of Gs (alpha s) were replaced with the corresponding sequence of the Gi alpha subunit (alpha i2). When a carboxyl-terminal chimera alpha s-i(38), which has the last 38 amino acids of alpha s substituted with the last 36 residues of alpha i2, was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells, the receptor-stimulated phospholipase A2 activity was inhibited, although the chimera could still activate adenylyl cyclase. Thus, alpha s-i(38) is an active alpha s, but also a dominant negative alpha i molecule, indicating that the last 36 amino acids of alpha i2 are a critical domain for G protein regulation of phospholipase A2 activity.

Abstract
Mastoparan induced limited release of serotonin from intact human platelets, while neither intracellular calcium ion elevation nor arachidonic acid mobilization was observed. Cytolysis induced by mastoparan was negligible in the concentration range that induced serotonin release. In digitonin-permeabilized cells, mastoparan induced Ca(++)-independent release of serotonin and Ca(++)-dependent arachidonic acid release. Both serotonin release and arachidonic acid release were reduced by pertussis toxin, suggesting that platelet activation induced by mastoparan is mediated by GTP-binding proteins.

Abstract
G proteins play a critical role in signal transduction across cell membranes. Information about the diversity of G protein structure and function has provided valuable insights into the nature of the complex actions exerted by hormones and neurotransmitters on different cells and biological systems. A common finding of the biophysical and biochemical studies described above is that G proteins have the potential to couple neurotransmitter or hormone receptors to multiple cellular effector systems. When this occurs in a cell, it may allow a particular hormone or transmitter to regulate a variety of different cellular events simultaneously. Furthermore, it has become clear that different receptors can couple to the same G protein. When this occurs in the same cell, it may provide the basis for the convergent regulation of cell activity by various hormones or neurotransmitters. Thus, G proteins greatly diversify the manner by which hormones and neurotransmitters can regulate cells. As more information is available on the mechanisms by which G proteins recognize and interact with receptors and effector systems, we may be able to better understand the specific events involved in signal transduction and the subtle processes by which hormones and neurotransmitters can control cell activity.

Abstract
Neutrophils and other phagocytic cells of the immune system possess a superoxide-generating oxidase system which is essential for the efficient killing of microbes. The system is activated by a wide variety of stimuli, some of which operate through pathways involving protein kinase C (PKC), while others appear not to. The PKC-dependent pathway is probably the major signal transduction route for most of the stimuli. Alterations in cellular Ca2+ and diglyceride levels can have a pronounced stimulatory effect on this pathway by their ability to synergistically activate PKC. This review discusses PKC, the different interactions of this kinase with the plasmalemma that are important in superoxide production, the synergy between Ca2+ and diglyceride, and the nature of the phosphoproteins involved. Evidence supporting the existence of the PKC-independent pathway is also reviewed.

Abstract
The effect of differentiation on FMLP-stimulated InsP production and G-protein expression was investigated in U937 monocytes. FMLP (0.01-10 microM) stimulated [3H]InsP production in dimethyl sulphoxide-differentiated, but not in immature, U937 cells. Ionomycin (1 and 10 microM) stimulated [3H]InsP production equally well in both cell types. The FMLP response was blocked by pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml for 4 h) which catalysed [32P]ADP ribosylation of a 40 kDa 'Gi-like' G-protein alpha subunit in these cells. This protein was also identified immunologically using anti-peptide antibodies that detect 'Gi-like' alpha subunits (SG2) or Gi2 alpha specifically (LE2). With LE2 a 5-fold increase in Gi2 alpha levels was seen following differentiation of the cells, suggesting that FMLP receptor expression is accompanied by an increase in the G-protein with which these receptors interact.

Abstract
Mastoparan inhibited [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation induced by carbachol as well as cyclic AMP accumulation induced by isoproterenol in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Mastoparan inhibited GTP gamma S-induced, but not Ca2(+)-induced, [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation in membrane preparations with an IC50 of approximately 10 microM. The inhibitory effect of mastoparan on carbachol-induced [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation was resistant to pertussis toxin (IAP) treatment in intact cells. These results suggest that mastoparan inhibits phospholipase C in human astrocytoma cells via a GTP binding protein, which is not a substrate for IAP.

Abstract
The possible influence of spinal receptors coupled to Gi/Go regulatory proteins on chronic pain adaptive processes of neural tissues was investigated in normal and arthritic rats. Pain-suffering animals showed an enhanced immunoreactivity to substance P (ir-SP) in the lumbar spinal cord, pons-medulla oblongata region and thalamus. Norepinephrine (NE) levels were increased in the spinal cord, while serotonin (5-HT) was elevated in both spinal cord and midbrain. The intrathecal injection of 1 micrograms pertussis toxin 6 days before sacrifice of rats produced in these arthritic animals a pronounced reduction of ir-SP in the pons-medulla, midbrain and thalamus, but not in the spinal cord. The level of 5-HT was diminished in dorsal spinal cord and midbrain, whereas NE appeared unchanged. In contrast, the toxin only reduced ir-SP of normal rats in the midbrain, without altering the levels of NE or 5-HT, in all the areas analysed. These results suggest the involvement of certain spinal receptors coupled to Gi/Go transducer proteins in processes leading to the elevation of ir-SP and 5-HT in various neural structures of arthritic rats.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) stimulated by the chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) were effectively inhibited by chlorpromazine (10 microM) and azelastine (20 microM) in terms of superoxide generation, and restored by the addition of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBS) in a range of concentrations from 20 to 40 microM. The stimulation of superoxide generation by DBS was also inactivated by dodecylamine (DA) but was restored by the subsequent addition of DBS. A dose dependent competitive inhibition and activation of leukocytes was observed between azelastine (10 microM) and DBS (20 microM). The release of arachidonic acid from leukocytes activated by the chemotactic peptide was decreased by DA or chlorpromazine, but could be restored by DBS. The changes in membrane potential of leukocytes as monitored by cyanine dye were also decreased by DA, chlorpromazine or azelastine. These observations indicate that some cationic drugs reversibly inhibit membrane bound enzymes or receptors. The physiological responses of these inhibited PMNs can then be restored by appropriate anionic amphiphiles.

Abstract
The membrane fraction prepared from rat brain was incubated with 0.5 mM N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) for 10 min. 3H-labelled agonist binding to muscarinic, A1-adenosine, opiate and alpha 2-adrenergic receptors was markedly inhibited by this NEM treatment of membranes, which interfered with the subsequent ADP-ribosylation of endogenous G-proteins by pertussis toxin. This indicated that the toxin target cysteine residues of the G-protein were modified by NEM. The NEM-induced inhibition of agonist bindings was mostly reversed by reconstitution of the alpha-subunits of purified Gi or Go into the membranes. The NEM-induced inhibition, together with the reversal by the G alpha reconstitution, was due to changes in the relative number of high- to low-affinity receptors solely without change in the total (high- plus low-affinity) receptor number. Thus, in NEM-treated membranes endogenous G-proteins become uncoupled from receptors, which were coupled to either Gi alpha or Go alpha. Reconstitution of NEM pre-treated membranes showed that Go acted in preference to Gi in interaction with muscarinic receptors and vice versa in interaction with three other types of receptor. The possible involvement of Go in mediating phospholipase C activation and Gi in mediating adenylate cyclase inhibition is discussed.

Abstract
Incubation of rabbit platelets with thrombin resulted in rapid accumulations of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) in [3H]inositol-labeled platelets, increases of [3H]arachidonic acid [( 3H]AA) release, and [3H]serotonin secretion from the platelets prelabeled with these labeled compounds. The experiments using phospholipase A2 or C inhibitor suggested that not only phospholipase C but also phospholipase A2 activity plays an important role in serotonin secretion. We then studied the regulatory mechanisms of phospholipase A2 activity. Guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S), guanyl-5'-(beta,gamma-iminio)triphosphate), or AlF4- caused a significant liberation of AA in digitonin-permeabilized platelets but not in intact platelets. Thrombin-stimulated AA release was not observed in permeabilized platelets, whereas thrombin acted synergistically with GTP or GTP analogs to stimulate AA release. GTP analog-stimulated AA release was inhibited by guanosine 5'-(2-O-thio)diphosphate) and was also inhibited by decreased Mg2+ concentrations. Thrombin-induced, GTP-dependent AA release, but not IP3 formation, was diminished by 100 ng/ml of pertussis toxin, associated with ADP-ribosylation of membrane 41-kDa protein(s). Thrombin-stimulated AA release from intact platelets and GTP gamma S-stimulated release from permeabilized platelets were both markedly dependent on Ca2+. However, Ca2+ addition could not enhance AA release without GTP gamma S even when Ca2+ was increased up to 10(-4) M in permeabilized platelets. The results show that thrombin-stimulated AA release from rabbit platelets is mainly mediated by phospholipase A2 activity, not by phospholipase C activity, and that Ca2+ is an important factor to the activation of phospholipase A2 but is not the sole factor to the regulation. GTP-binding protein(s) is involved in receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase A2.

Abstract
The broad importance of receptor-activated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the physiological action of hormones, neurotransmitters and growth factors has sparked interest in the study of transmembrane signalling events responsible for activation of phospholipase C. As with receptors involved in regulation of adenylyl cyclase, ion channels and phototransmission, it is clear that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (G protein) is a necessary component of the hormone- and neurotransmitter-regulated phosphoinositide signalling mechanism. Recent evidence to support a possible second mode of regulation of phospholipase C by growth factor receptors is emerging in the form of realization that at least one isozyme of phospholipase C serves as a substrate for the tyrosine kinase activity of growth factor receptors known to stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis. In this review, José Boyer and colleagues summarize progress towards delineating the properties and identity of the G protein(s) involved in this pathway, recent advances in purification and molecular cloning of phospholipase C isozymes, and the current understanding of growth factor receptor-mediated regulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

Abstract
The mammalian myocardium responds to stretch by increasing both contractility and the release of atrial natriuretic peptide. These effects are observed in isolated perfused heart preparations as well as in vivo. That atrial natriuretic peptide release can be stimulated by activation of the phosphatidylinositol turnover pathway suggests a possible mechanism by which stretch might activate a biological response. Accordingly, experiments were performed to examine the effect of dilatation of the right atrium on the phosphatidylinositol turnover pathway measured in isolated perfused hearts. Dilatation of the right atrium caused a stimulation of the phosphatidylinositol turnover pathway as measured by an increase in the accumulation of inositol phosphates. In right atria, increases were detected after 1 minute of dilatation, and maximal increases were observed after 10 minutes. Dilatation for 10 minutes caused an increase in inositol monophosphate, inositol bisphosphate, and inositol trisphosphate from 23.3 +/- 0.9, 15.4 +/- 0.4, and 9.5 +/- 0.3 cpm/mg tissue (mean +/- SEM, n = 7) to 74.6 +/- 2.3, 20.2 +/- 1.3, and 13.6 +/- 1.5 cpm/mg tissue (n = 8), respectively (p less than 0.01 for all inositol phosphates). Smaller increases were observed in the other chambers of the hearts. Perfusion with propranolol, prazosin, and atropine (all 1 microM) did not alter the inositol phosphate response to dilatation, indicating that it was not secondary to release of norepinephrine or acetylcholine. Dilatation of the right ventricle also caused a stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation, but this was lower than after dilatation of the right atrium. These results show that the myocardium can respond to dilatation by an activation of the phosphatidylinositol turnover pathway.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Activation of NADPH oxidase in undifferentiated HL-60 leukemic cells and in HL-60 cells differentiated along the myeloid pathway with dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) or dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) was studied. Upon stimulation with a calcium ionophore, a phorbol ester, arachidonic acid or gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, Me2SO-differentiated HL-60 cells generated superoxide (O2-) at higher rates than dbcAMP-differentiated cells. Undifferentiated cells generated O2- only at low rates upon stimulation with the above agents. In cell-free systems, NADPH oxidase activity was reconstituted by combining membranes of undifferentiated or dbcAMP- or Me2SO-differentiated HL-60 cells, cytosol of Me2SO-differentiated cells and arachidonic acid. This basal O2- formation was enhanced several-fold by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP[gamma S]), a potent activator of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. In contrast, cytosol of dbcAMP-differentiated cells reconstituted O2- formation only in the presence of GTP[gamma S], and cytosol of undifferentiated cells was inactive. Submaximally stimulatory amounts of cytosolic protein of Me2SO- and dbcAMP-differentiated cells synergistically stimulated O2- formation in the presence but not in the absence of GTP[gamma S]. We conclude that differentiations of HL-60 cells with Me2SO and dbcAMP are not equivalent with respect to activation of NADPH oxidase and that two cytosolic activation factors are involved in the regulation of this effector system.

Abstract
The effect of inositol lipids on the SDS-initiated cell-free activation of NADPH oxidase in membranes of human neutrophils was investigated. In a system consisting of low density membranes, cytosol and SDS, low doses of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mono- and biphosphates and phosphatidic acid interfered with activation of the oxidase. The inhibition was relieved by increasing concentrations of the cytosol. Conversely, preincubation of multilamellar phosphoinositide vesicles with cytosol reduced its ability to support activation of the oxidase.

Abstract
Incubation of rat ovarian plasma membranes with [gamma-32P]guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) in the presence of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-trapping system results in the labeling of a single protein, Mr 33,000 +/- 3000 designated 'a' (Amir-Zaltsman, Y., Ezra, E., Walker, M., Lindner, H. R. and Salomon, Y. (1980) FEBS Lett. 122, 166-170). Based on competition with other nucleotides it is concluded that protein 'a' is preferentially phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]GTP (Km = 0.28 microM). Phosphorylation of protein 'a' does not occur at pH less than 5 and progressively increases to plateau levels at pH 7-9. Phosphorylation of protein 'a' is absolutely dependent on the presence of divalent cations 1 mM Mg2+, Ca2+, or Cd2+. At higher concentrations, 5-20 mM, Mg2+ or in the presence of 1 mM Mn2+ ions other proteins are also phosphorylated. While vanadate ions selectively prevent the labeling of protein 'a', molybdate ions were found to inhibit phosphorylation of all the membrane proteins including protein 'a'. In contrast to molybdate ions, vanadate ions were found to accelerate the dephosphorylation of phosphoprotein 'a'. We suggest that phosphoprotein 'a' is a high energy protein intermediate in which the phosphate is present as a phosphoramidate for the following reasons: (i) Guanosine diphosphate (GDP) but not guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) selectively accelerated the dephosphorylation of phosphoprotein 'a' but only in the presence of Mg2+ ions. (ii) The phosphoprotein intermediate is hydrolyzed in the presence of hydroxylamine. (iii) Phosphoprotein 'a' is labile in the presence of 1 N HCl but stable in 1 N NaOH at 37 degrees C. (iv) Phosphoprotein 'a' is heat labile. Phosphoprotein 'a' is readily digested by several proteolytic enzymes and a single cleavage peptide is generated upon treatment with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. The properties of protein 'a' were compared and found different from another phosphoprotein Mr 90,000 +/- 1000, designated 'b' that was selected arbitrarily. We propose that protein 'a' is a GTP requiring enzyme intermediate, of yet unidentified function.

Abstract
Purine release and prostaglandin (PG) outflow were simultaneously evaluated from untreated glial primary cultures of rat striatum, at rest and under field electrical stimulation. Purine release was also assayed from sister cultured cells in which a suitable pharmacological treatment with 1 x 10(-6) M dexamethasone or 1 x 10(-4) M indomethacin had produced a complete inhibition of the phospholipase A2-prostaglandin (PLA2-PG) system. Purine release from untreated cells seems to be regulated by specific receptor sites for released adenosine (Ado); A1 receptors exert an inhibitory control on purine release while A2 receptors facilitate it. PG release appears to be related to A1-mediated Ado activity, since culture treatment with 1 x 10(-10) M 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) or 1 x 10(-4) M N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), A1 receptor inhibitory agents able to increase purine release, induced a significant reduction of the evoked PG outflow. Purine amount, released from glial cells with inhibited PLA2-PG system, was remarkably greater than that one assayed from control cultured cells. In so treated cultures, no additive effect, NEM-induced, was detected, while the addition of a mixture of PGs partially reduced the increased purine outflow. An electrically evoked cAMP accumulation, significantly greater than that found in controls, was even detected in cultured cells with inhibited PLA2-PG system. Since 10 micrograms/ml adenosine deaminase (ADA) reduced while DPCPX enhanced the evoked cAMP accumulation, it seems partially due to released Ado and accounts for a prevalent A2-stimulating rather than an A1-inhibitory control on adenylate cyclase activity. Thus, in cultured glial cells, the PLA2-PG system, likely linked to A1 receptor sites, concurs to control purine release and seems to affect less directly cAMP accumulation.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and angiotensin II (AII) are thought to mediate their biological effects in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by causing alterations in cytosolic free calcium ([ Ca2+]i). In this study we examine the pathways by which PDGF and AII alter [Ca2+]i in VSMCs. Addition of PDGF resulted in a rapid, transient, concentration-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i; this rise in [Ca2+]i was blocked completely by preincubation of cells with ethylene glycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) or CoCl2, by the voltage-sensitive Ca2+-channel antagonists verapamil or nifedipine, by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), or by pertussis toxin. AII also caused an increase in [Ca2+]i; however, AII-stimulated alterations in [Ca2+]i displayed different kinetics compared with those caused by PDGF. Pretreatment of cells with 8-(diethylamine)-octyl-3,4,5-trimethyoxybenzoate hydrochloride (TMB-8), almost totally inhibited AII-induced increases in [Ca2+]i. EGTA or CoCl2 only slightly diminished AII-stimulated increases in [Ca2+]i. Nifedipine, verapamil, TPA, and pertussis toxin pretreatment were without effect on AII-induced increases in [Ca2+]i. PDGF and AII both stimulated increases in total inositol phosphate accumulation, although the one-half maximal concentration (ED50) for alterations in [Ca2+]i and phosphoinisitide hydrolysis differed by a factor of 10 for PDGF (3 X 10(-10) M for Ca2+ vs. 2.5 X 10(-9) M for phosphoinositide hydrolysis), but they were essentially identical for AII (7.5 X 10(-9) M for Ca2+ vs. 5.0 X 10(-9) M for phosphoinositide hydrolysis). PDGF stimulated mitogenesis (as measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA) in VSMCs with an ED50 similar to that for PDGF-induced alterations in phosphoinositide hydrolysis. PDGF-stimulated mitogenesis was blocked by pretreatment of cells with voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel blockers, TPA, or pertussis toxin. These results suggest that PDGF and AII cause alterations in [Ca2+]i in VSMCs by at least quantitatively distinct mechanisms. PDGF binding activates a pertussis-toxin-sensitive Ca2+ influx into cells via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels (blocked by EGTA, verapamil, and nifedipine), as well as stimulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis leading to release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. AII-induced alterations in [Ca2+]i are mainly the result of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and consequent entry of Ca2+ into the cytoplasm from intracellular stores. Our data also suggest that changes in [Ca2+]i caused by PDGF are required for PDGF-stimulated mitogenesis.

Abstract
The properties of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptors were examined in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. 9,11-Epithio-11,12-methanothromboxane A2 (STA2), a stable analogue of TXA2, stimulated the accumulation of inositol phosphates (IPs) with an EC50 of about 50 nM. The STA2-induced accumulation of IPs was inhibited concentration dependently by ONO3708, a TXA2 receptor antagonist, with an inhibition constant (Ki) of about 10 nM. Inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was accumulated more rapidly than inositol bisphosphate (IP2) in response to STA2. HPLC analysis indicated that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate accumulated in the presence of STA2. STA2 alone had no effect on the accumulation of IPs in membrane preparations but it potentiated the accumulation induced by GTP gamma S. [3H]SQ29548, a TXA2 receptor antagonist, bound specifically to TXA2 receptors, expressing a single binding site with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 10.9 nM. The competition curve for STA2 inhibition of [3H]SQ29548 binding was shifted to the right and was steeper in the presence of GTP gamma S. Pertussis toxin (IAP) elicited ADP-ribosylation of 41KD protein but had no effect on the sensitivity to GTP of the STA2 inhibition of SQ29548 binding or of STA2-induced accumulation of IPs. It is concluded from these results that the stimulation of TXA2 receptors results in activation of phospholipase C via a GTP binding protein and that the protein is not a substrate for IAP.

Abstract
Human neutrophils and HL60 cells respond to extracellular ATP by causing exocytotic secretion. Secretion is accompanied by increases in inositol phosphates and a rise in cytosol Ca2+. The responses to ATP are blocked by pertussis toxin pretreatment, indicating the involvement of a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. Other nucleotides that are active in promoting secretion are ATP gamma S, UTP, ITP and AppNHp, whilst 8-bromo-ATP, AppCH2p, ADP, AMP and adenosine are inactive.

Abstract
1. Pertussis toxin, a substance which interferes selectively with receptor-mediated signal transduction mechanisms, was injected into the locus coeruleus of rats 1, 2, 3, 6 or 10 days before the microinjection of clonidine or yohimbine into the same site. 2. Clonidine produced in control rats typical behavioural sedation and/or sleep and ECoG synchronization while yohimbine produced behavioural arousal and ECoG desynchronization. 3. The behavioural and ECoG effects of both compounds were blocked in animals pretreated with pertussis toxin. This activity was more marked from 2 to 6 days after pertussis toxin pretreatment and was restored 10 days after toxin administration. In addition, the behavioural and ECoG slow-wave sleep observed after intraperitoneal administration of clonidine (0.2 mumol kg-1) was significantly reduced by prior (3 days) microinfusion of pertussis toxin into the locus coeruleus. 4. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the behavioural and ECoG effects of clonidine and yohimbine are mediated via a guanine regulatory protein which is affected by pertussis toxin.

Abstract
The generally accepted sequence of intracellular signal transduction involves: (1) cell surface receptor-ligand interactions; (2) activation of G-proteins; (3) activation of phospholipase C, leading to inositol phosphate (IP3), and diacylglycerol production; (4) parallel mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ by IP3, and; (5) activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by diacylglycerol and Ca2+, leading to; (6) cellular responses. Human neutrophils appear to utilize this cascade, at least in general, and some, but not all, elements of the intracellular signal cascade known to be operating in intact cells also function in permeabilized cell systems. We have previously shown that permeabilized neutrophils can be induced to secrete lysosomal enzymes in response to elevated levels of Ca2+ alone and this secretion can be synergistically enhanced by the presence of guanine nucleotides. We now show that Ca2+, in the presence and absence of guanine nucleotides, can stimulate the production of soluble inositol phosphates. Furthermore, neomycin, a putative inhibitor of phospholipase C, can block Ca2(+)-induced secretion. These data thus suggest a role for phospholipase C activity or its products in the transduction process. The next enzymatic activity 'downstream' is PKC. Consequently, we looked at the role Mg-ATP, one of the substrates of PKC, plays in degranulation by permeabilized neutrophils, We found no obligatory role for this nucleotide in the secretory process. We then looked at the activity of oleoyl-acetyl-glycerol (OAG), a synthetic diacylglycerol and PKC agonist, on degranulation. We found that OAG was largely additive with Ca2+. Another PKC agonist, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), also did not display notable synergy. Finally, inhibitors of PKC activity were not capable of blocking secretion, either in the presence or absence of guanine nucleotides. Thus, while circumstantial evidence seems to point towards a requirement for phospholipase C activation and diacylglycerol production in secretion, we were unable to demonstrate the next putative step in signal transduction, namely activation of PKC.

Abstract
A major bactericidal mechanism of neutrophils involves activation of the respiratory burst oxidase to generate superoxide (O2-). The oxidase is activated rapidly, often within a minute, in response to extracellular signals such as chemoattractants, inflammatory mediators, and invading microorganisms. Increasing evidence indicates that lipases also respond rapidly, releasing potent regulatory molecules from progenitor lipids. Released molecules include potential regulators of protein kinase C--diacylglycerol (DAG), arachidonate, and sphingosine--and levels of one of these, DAG, frequently correlate with O2- production. In this author's view, the available data implicate DAG and protein kinase C as key factors in the regulation of the respiratory burst. Herein, the array of activating agonists, the generation and function of some lipid-derived mediators, and evidence pertaining to the participation of protein kinase C are reviewed.

Abstract
Activation of M2-muscarinic receptors alters the configuration of the action potential due to depression of the calcium-dependent components, the shoulder in the falling phase and the afterhyperpolarization, in isolated superior cervical ganglionic neurons of rabbits. This effect was inhibited by preincubation of the cells with pertussis toxin, or by the intracellular administration of guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP-beta-S). The muscarinic effect persisted in the cells loaded with guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S). Intracellular application of cAMP and 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine did not change the muscarinic effect. The results suggest that a GTP-binding protein is involved in the cAMP-independent, M2-muscarinic receptor-mediated regulation of action potential firing in sympathetic neurons.

Abstract
Binding of chemoattractants to specific cell surface receptors on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) initiates a variety of biologic responses, including directed migration (chemotaxis), release of superoxide anions, and lysosomal enzyme secretion. Chemoattractant receptors belong to a large class of receptors which utilize the hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides to initiate Ca2+ mobilization and cellular activation. Receptor occupancy leads to phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) yielding inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2 sn-diacylglycerol (DAG). These products synergize to initiate cell activation via calcium mobilization (IP3) and protein kinase C activation (DAG). Pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates and inactivates some GTP binding proteins (G proteins), abolishes all chemoattractant-induced responses, including Ca2+ mobilization, IP3 and DAG production, enzyme secretion, superoxide production and chemotaxis. Direct evidence for chemoattractant receptor: G protein coupling was obtained using PMN membrane preparations which contain a Ca2+-sensitive phospholipase C. Hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides at resting intracellular Ca2+ levels (100 nm) was only observed when the membranes were stimulated with the chemoattractant N-formyl-methyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) in the presence of GTP. Myeloid cells contain two distinct pertussis toxin substrates of similar molecular weight (40 and 41 kD). The 41 kD substrate resembles Gi, whereas a 40 kD substrate is physically associated with a partially purified fMet-Leu-Phe receptor preparation and may therefore represent a novel G protein involved in chemoattractant-stimulated responses. Metabolism of 1,4,5-IP3 to inositol proceeds via two distinct pathways in PMNs: (1) degradation to 1,4-IP2 and 4-IP1 or (2) conversion to 1,3,4,5-IP4, 1,3,4-IP3, 3,4-IP2 and 3-IP1. Initial formation (0-30 s) of 1,4,5-IP3 and DAG occurs at ambient intracellular Ca2+ levels, whereas formation of 1,3,4-IP3 and a second sustained phase of DAG production (30 s-10 min) require elevated cytosolic Ca2+ influx. The later peak of DAG, which is not derived from phosphoinositides, appears to be required for stimulation of respiratory burst activity. Products formed during activation can feed back to attenuate chemoattractant receptor-mediated stimulation of phospholipase C by uncoupling receptor-G protein-phospholipase C interaction.

Abstract
Both cis- and trans-unsaturated but not saturated fatty acids activated protein kinase C purified to apparent homogeneity from rat brain. Fatty-acid-induced enzyme activation was not more than additive with that by phospholipids and was potentiated by diacylglycerol. Recently, we demonstrated that cis- and trans-unsaturated fatty acids induced platelet aggregation and phosphorylation of specific proteins. Both events were potentiated by a cell-permeable diacylglycerol [(1987) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 149, 762-768]. Thus, trans-unsaturated fatty acids may provide useful experimental tools for the study of protein kinase C activation in vitro and in vivo. Our results suggest that fatty acids and diacylglycerol may synergistically be involved in hormonal stimulation of protein kinase C, as certain hormonal stimuli cause release of diacylglycerol and fatty acids from phospholipids by parallel activation of phospholipases C and A2.

Abstract
NADPH-oxidase-catalyzed superoxide (O2-) formation in membranes of HL-60 leukemic cells was activated by arachidonic acid in the presence of Mg2+ and HL-60 cytosol. The GTP analogues, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[gamma S] and guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate, being potent activators of guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), stimulated O2- formation up to 3.5-fold. The adenine analogue of GTP[gamma S], adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[gamma S]), which can serve as donor of thiophosphoryl groups in kinase-mediated reactions, stimulated O2- formation up to 2.5-fold, whereas the non-phosphorylating adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate was inactive. The effect of ATP[gamma S] was half-maximal at a concentration of 2 microM, was observed in the absence of added GDP and occurred with a lag period two times longer than the one with GTP[gamma S]. HL-60 membranes exhibited nucleoside-diphosphate kinase activity, catalyzing the thiophosphorylation of GDP to GTP[gamma S] by ATP[gamma S]. GTP[gamma S] formation was half-maximal at a concentration of 3-4 microM ATP[gamma S] and was suppressed by removal of GDP by creatine kinase/creatine phosphate (CK/CP). The stimulatory effect of ATP[gamma S] on O2- formation was abolished by the nucleoside-diphosphate kinase inhibitor UDP. Mg2+ chelation with EDTA and removal of endogenous GDP by CK/CP abolished NADPH oxidase activation by ATP[gamma S] and considerably diminished stimulation by GTP[gamma S]. GTP[gamma S] also served as a thiophosphoryl group donor to GDP, with an even higher efficiency than ATP[gamma S]. Transthiophosphorylation of GDP to GTP[gamma S] was only partially inhibited by CK/CP. Our results suggest that NADPH oxidase is regulated by a G protein, which may be activated either by exchange of bound GDP by guanosine triphosphate or by thiophosphoryl group transfer to endogenous GDP by nucleoside-diphosphate kinase.

Abstract
The effects of phorbol esters and synthetic diglycerides on thrombin- and histamine-stimulated increases in inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and cytosolic free calcium [( Ca2+]i) were studied in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HEC). Thrombin (0.003-3.0 U/ml) and histamine (10(-7)-10(-4) M) induced rapid increases in [Ca2+]i in suspended cells as monitored with the fluorescent calcium indicator fura-2. In [3H]myoinositol-labeled cells, both thrombin (3 U/ml)- and histamine (10(-4) M)-induced IP3 increases (195% +/- 6% and 98% +/- 4%, respectively) occurred in less than 15 sec and were temporally correlated with [Ca2+]i increases. Brief incubations (5-60 min) with different protein kinase C activators [4-beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (1-100 nM), mezerein (100 nM), and sn-1,2 dioctanoylglycerol (0.1-10 microM)] attenuated agonist-induced increases in [Ca2+]i. These compounds also inhibited thrombin- and histamine-stimulated IP3 formation, thus suggesting a tight coupling between phospholipase C activation and calcium flux in cultured HEC. Overall, these observations suggest that the pathway linking receptors to phospholipase C stimulation in human endothelial cells is sensitive to protein kinase C activation.

Abstract
Formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), platelet activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) are potent activators of human neutrophils. Using human neutrophils prelabelled with the fluorescent indicator dye, Quin 2, or with [32P]-orthophosphate, we examined the effects of these stimuli on intracellular free calcium concentration, [Ca2+]i, and on various indices of phosphoinositide metabolism, including [32P]-phosphatidic acid (PtdA) formation. The concentration-dependence of the observed changed in [Ca2+]i or [32P]-PtdA were then compared to stimulus-induced aggregation and enzyme release (beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) and lysozyme). FMLP, PAF and LTB4 caused a concentration-dependent elevation of [Ca2+]i, aggregation and enzyme release. However, unlike FMLP and PAF, LTB4 (less than or equal to 2.5 microM) did not cause significant formation of [32P]-PtdA. The concentration response curves for agonist-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i lie to the left of those for aggregation and enzyme release. FMLP and PAF also caused an elevation of [Ca2+]i at concentrations lower than those required to elicit [32P]-PtdA formation. These observations suggest that [Ca2+]i elevation per se cannot mediate human neutrophil functional responses to FMLP, PAF and LTB4. Consequently there may exist other mediator(s) that act in concert with [Ca2+]i or are triggered by [Ca2+]i elevation to promote human neutrophil activation. Both the elevation of [Ca2+]i and the formation of these putative mediator(s) in response to LTB4 apparently occur independently of inositol phospholipid hydrolysis.

Abstract
G-proteins act as transducers between cell surface receptors activated by extracellular signals and enzymatic effectors which control the concentrations of cytosolic signal molecules such as cAMP, cGMP, inositol phosphates and calcium. The receptor/G-protein-induced changes of the intracellular concentration of such signal molecules correlates with activity changes of various voltage-dependent ion channels. In some instances, cytosolic signal molecules appear to interact directly with ion channels, thereby causing an alteration of ion channel activity. In other instances, signal molecules affect the function of ion channels by activating protein kinases which, in turn, phosphorylate either proteins constituting extracellular signal- and voltage-dependent ion channels or non-identified membranous regulatory components. Recent findings suggest a third, membrane-confined mechanism which does not involve cytosolic signal molecules but a close control of voltage-dependent ion channels by G-proteins. Ion channels that are modulated by extracellular signals according to this newly discovered principle include those for calcium and potassium in neuronal, cardiac and endocrine cells. G-proteins involved in the hormonal stimulation of potassium and calcium channels belong to the family of Gi-type G-proteins which are functionally uncoupled from activating receptors by pertussis toxin. In addition, the cholera toxin-sensitive G-protein, Gs, may directly stimulate cardiac calcium channels. Hormonal inhibition of calcium channels is possibly mediated by Go which, like G-proteins of the Gi-family, is functionally impaired by pertussis toxin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
