Abstract
Our current understanding of the interaction between bacteria and macrophages, cells of the immune system that play a major role in the defense against infection, is summarized. Cell-surface structures of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria that account for these interactions are described in detail. Besides surface structures, soluble bacterial molecules, toxins that are derived from pathogenic bacteria, are also shown to modulate macrophage functions. In order to affect macrophage functions, bacterial surface structures have to be recognized by the macrophage and toxins have to be taken up. Subsequently, signal transduction mechanisms are initiated that enable the macrophage to respond to the invading bacteria. To destroy bacteria, macrophages employ many strategies, among which antigen processing and presentation to T cells, phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and different bactericidal mechanisms are considered to be the main weapons.

Abstract
It has been proposed that an abnormality in the regulation of cytosolic-free Ca2+ may be the cause of some forms of insulin resistance. In support of this proposition, it was reported that phospholipase C-catalyzed hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by liver plasma membranes from obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) was abnormally augmented (Thakker et al., J. Biol. Chem. 264, 7169-7175). The objective of this investigation was to determine if a novel antidiabetic agent, pioglitazone, ameliorated hepatic insulin resistance in KKA(y) mice and to identify any alterations in PIP2-phospholipase C activity of liver plasma membranes that may accompany changes in insulin sensitivity. Treatment of KKA(y) mice for 4 days with pioglitazone (20 mg/kg per day) decreased blood glucose and insulin and improved a variety of indices of hepatic insulin resistance, but did not alter the rate of PIP2 hydrolysis by liver plasma membranes. Acute treatment of isolated liver plasma membranes with pioglitazone (1-100 microM) also failed to alter PIP2-phospholipase C activity. Furthermore, the specific activity, Ca(2+)-requirement, pH-dependence and sensitivity to guanosine 5'-thiotriphosphate of the PIP2-phospholipase C in KKA(y) liver membranes were indistinguishable from those of C57BL/6J (normal) mice. Among C57BL/6J and KKA(y) mice fed either a control or pioglitazone-supplemented diet, there was no correlation between PIP2-phospholipase C activity in isolated liver membranes and either glucose or insulin concentrations in the circulation. These data indicate that an alteration in PIP2-phospholipase C activity of liver plasma membranes is neither a cause nor an obligatory consequence of insulin resistance in KKAy mice or its amelioration by pioglitazone. Alterations of liver membrane phospholipase C activity in NIDDM, therefore, may reflect diabetic pathology other than the insulin resistance associated with this disease.

Abstract
Guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins play key intermediary roles in regulating zona pellucida-mediated acrosomal exocytosis in mouse and bull sperm. Since human sperm possess a Gi-like protein and undergo the acrosome reaction in response to the human zona pellucida, we investigated whether this G protein plays a regulatory role in this exocytotic process. Zonae pellucidae isolated from eggs that had been inseminated but had shown no signs of fertilization after retrieval for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer were pooled into groups of greater than or equal to 50 in order to reduce variability in biological responses due to the possible presence of ZP that had undergone modifications associated with the polyspermy block. Acid-solubilized zonae pellucidae were incubated with capacitated sperm, and the sperm then assessed for the acrosome reaction using both the P. sativum agglutinin and chlortetracycline fluorescence assays; both assays gave similar results. Sperm incubated with solubilized zonae pellucidae at a final concentration of 2, 4, or 6 ZP/microliter underwent acrosomal exocytosis to a similar extent as compared with A-23187. Sperm were incubated with 1 microgram/ml pertussis toxin during capacitation to functionally inactivate the Gi-like protein. Pertussis toxin treatment of sperm did not affect sperm motility and the ability of the cells to bind to structurally intact zonae pellucidae. Pertussis toxin, however, completely inhibited the percentage acrosome reactions induced by solubilized zonae pellucidae. By contrast, the A-23187-induced acrosome reaction was insensitive to PT treatment. Pertussis toxin inhibition of the zona pellucida-induced acrosome reaction occurred in a concentration-dependent manner with maximal effects observed at 100 ng/ml PT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal (HNE) and nonanal on the activity of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C of rat neutrophils have been studied in parallel with their action on neutrophil oriented migration. Concentrations of HNE ranging from 10(-7) to 10(-5) M significantly stimulated the oriented migration of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes. HNE stimulated both the basal and GTP gamma S-induced phospholipase C activity when used at concentrations between 10(-8) and 10(-6) M. Nonanal was devoid both of chemotactic activity and of any action on phospholipase C activity. The effect of GTP gamma S on the stimulation of phospholipase C induced by HNE was higher when the lowest dose of the aldehyde was used; the finding of an additive effect between 10(-8) M HNE and 2 x 10(-5) M GTP gamma S suggests that the two compounds may share a final common pathway of action. These results suggest that the chemotactic activity of HNE might be mediated, like that of other more well-known chemoattractants, by the stimulation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C.

Abstract
Treatment of hepatocytes with agonists which act via the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), results in increases of cytosolic free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) which are manifest as a series of discrete [Ca2+]i transients or oscillations. With increasing agonist dose [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency increases and the initial latent period decreases, but the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i oscillations remains constant. Studies of these [Ca2+]i oscillations at the subcellular level have indicated that the [Ca2+]i changes do not occur synchronously throughout the cell, but initiate at a specific subcellular domain, adjacent to a region of the plasma membrane, and then propagate through the cell as a [Ca2+]i wave. For a given ceil, the locus of [Ca2+]i wave initiation is constant for every oscillation in a series and is also identical when the cell is sequentially stimulated with different agonists or when the phospholipase C-linked G protein is activated directly using AIF4-. The kinetics of the [Ca2+]i waves indicate that a Ca(2+)-activated mechanism is involved in propagating the oscillatory [Ca2+]i increases throughout the cell, and the data appear to be most consistent with a process of Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release. It is proposed that the ability to propagate [Ca2+]i oscillations into regions of the cell distal to the region in which the signal transduction apparatus is localized could serve an important function in allowing all parts of the cell to respond to the stimulus.

Abstract
Crude nerve-ending preparations from rat brain were labeled with either [(32)P]phosphate or myo[2-(3)H]inositol in order to observe effects of guanosine 5?-[?-thio]triphosphate (GTP?S) and other nucleotides on phosphoinositides, phosphatidate and inositol phosphates. This system exhibited typical responses to muscarinic agonists, including acetylcholine-a decrease in net labeling of [(32)P]polyphosphoinositides, an increase in labeling of [(32)P]phosphatidate, and a stimulation of [(3)H]inositol phosphate formation. GTP?S and other nucleotides may not readily penetrate intact synaptosomal membranes to cause activation of phospholipase C via an interaction with G proteins, and, as might be expected, there was no indication that G-protein interaction occurred in these preparations. However, other effects were observed. GTP?S decreased net [(32)P] incorporation in phosphatidylinositol (PI) and polyphosphoinositides in a dose-dependent manner. GTP?S also caused an initial marked stimulation of [(32)P] labeling of phosphatidate, suggesting a possible inhibition in the conversion of phosphatidic acid to PI. Other nucleotides [GTP, ATP, Gpp(NH)p, GMP] produced qualitatively similar effects on phosphoinositides. Thus GTP?S and other nucleotides, at physiologically relevant concentrations, may influence phosphoinositide turnover via extracellular or other mechanisms, in addition to the proposed interaction of GTP with G-proteins within membranes.

Abstract
The receptors involved in the regulation of phospholipase C by hormones, neurotransmitters and other ligands have seven transmembrane-spanning hydrophobic regions (seven-helix motif) and no known enzymatic activity. Furthermore these receptors can be isolated as complexes with guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins. Guanine nucleotides affect the binding of hormones that stimulate phospholipase C and it has been possible to see activation of GTPase activity in membranes upon addition of these ligands. Further indirect evidence for a Gp (p stands for phospholipase C activation) protein is the finding that in membranes agonist activation of phospholipase C requires the presence of GTP gamma S a non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP. Furthermore, fluoride is able to activate phospholipase C but its inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-4' kinase (PI-4' kinase) can interfere with efforts to demonstrate this in intact cells. There are four major isozymes of phospholipase C that have been cloned and sequenced. Recently it was found that phospholipase C-gamma as well as PI-3'-kinase are substrates for phosphorylation on tyrosine residues by the EGF and PDGF receptors. The PI-3' kinase is able to convert phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) but the function of this lipid is unknown since it is not a substrate for any known phospholipase C. While much has been learned about the structure and regulation of the phosphoinositide specific kinases and phosphodiesterase enzymes this is a relatively new field in which we can expect many advances during the next few years.

Abstract
The effects of some 4-hydroxyalkenals, carbonylic products of lipid peroxidation, on hepatic phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-phospholipase C (PL-C) activity were investigated. The enzymatic activity was assayed in vitro by measuring the hydrolysis of [3H]PIP2 added as exogenous substrate to liver membranes. 4-Hydroxyhexenal (HEE), 4-hydroxyoctenal (HOE) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) were able to stimulate both the basal and the GTPgammaS induced PL-C activity, whereas 4-hydroxyundecenal was inactive. HOE was the most active compound, being able to accelerate PIP2 breakdown at concentrations between 10(-12) and 10(-6) M, while in the case of HEE the effective doses ranged from 10(-11) to 10(-7) M and from 10(-9) to 10(-6) M in the case of HNE. 4-Hydroxynonenal was able to increase also bombesin stimulated PL-C activity. As these aldehydes accelerated PIP2 breakdown at doses which can be actually reached in tissues, the effects shown in vitro are likely to occur in vivo.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) ion concentrations that are achieved intracellularly upon membrane depolarization or activation of phospholipase C stimulate adenylate cyclase via calmodulin (CaM) in brain tissue. In the present study, this range of Ca2+ concentrations produced unanticipated inhibitory effects on the plasma membrane adenylate cyclase activity of GH3 cells. Ca2+ concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.8 microM exerted an increasing inhibition on enzyme activity, which reached a plateau (35-45% inhibition) at around 1 microM. This inhibitory effect was highly cooperative for Ca2+ ions, but was neither enhanced nor dependent upon the addition of CaM (1 microM) to EGTA-washed membranes. The inhibition was greatly enhanced upon stimulation of the enzyme by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and/or GTP. Prior exposure of cultured cells to pertussis toxin did not affect the inhibition of plasma membrane adenylate cyclase activity by Ca2+, although in these membranes, hormonal (somatostatin) inhibition was significantly attenuated. Maximally effective concentrations of Ca2+ and somatostatin produced additive inhibitory effects on adenylate cyclase. The addition of phosphodiesterase inhibitors demonstrated that inhibitory effects of Ca2+ were not mediated by Ca2(+)-dependent stimulation of a phosphodiesterase activity. These observations provide a mechanism for the feedback inhibition by elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels on cAMP-facilitated Ca2+ entry into GH3 cells, as well as inhibitory crosstalk between Ca2(+)-mobilizing signals and adenylate cyclase activity.

Abstract
Endothelial cells have the capacity to metabolize several important lipids; this includes the ability to store and then metabolize arachidonate, as well as the capacity to synthesize platelet-activating factor (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). Arachidonate is predominantly metabolized via cyclooxygenase to PGI2 although the spectrum of prostaglandins may vary depending upon the source of the endothelial cell. Biosynthesis of eicosanoids and PAF are likely to be an important physiologic function of the endothelial cell as these potent lipids appear to have a role in maintaining vascular tone and mediating interactions of the endothelium with circulating inflammatory cells. In addition to production of eicosanoids and PAF, endothelial cells metabolize exogenous arachidonate and arachidonate metabolites and other fatty acids such as linoleate to bioactive compounds (HODEs). There is also evidence that small amounts of arachidonate are metabolized via a lipoxygenase. The physiologic significance of these minor lipid pathways is not known at this time. Production of eicosanoids and PAF is not a constitutive function of the endothelial cell. Lipid biosynthesis by endothelial cells is one component of the early activation response that occurs in response to stimulation with pro-inflammatory and vasoactive hormones or to pathologic agents such as oxidants and bacterial toxins. A central mechanism for activation of the relevant pathways is a rise in cellular calcium concentrations that can be mediated by hormone-receptor-binding or by direct permeabilization of the cell membrane to calcium (Fig. 3). Regulatory mechanisms distal to the calcium signal are unknown, but current evidence suggests that calcium directly or indirectly activates phospholipases that release arachidonate from phospholipids and hydrolyze a specific phospholipid to the immediate precursor of PAF. There is evidence that protein kinase C may, in part, regulate this process, but the role of other potential regulatory components, such as other protein kinases or G-proteins is not known. As noted above, the most direct mechanism for initiation of PAF biosynthesis and arachidonate release would be activation of a phospholipase A2 as shown in Fig. 3. Activation of other phospholipases (e.g. phospholipase C) may contribute to the total amount of arachidonate released, although the magnitude of that contribution is not yet known. In addition to generation of PAF and eicosanoids, activation of endothelial cell phospholipases generates second messengers that are important in intracellular signaling (Fig. 4). Activation of phospholipase C, in response to hormonal stimulation, generates diacylglycerol and inositol phosphates from phosphatidylinositol. Each of these is a potent intracellular second messenger.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
In AtT-20 cells somatostatin inhibits the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) through the activation of GTP binding proteins (G proteins) linked to second messengers such as calcium and cyclic AMP (cAMP). Recently, it has been proposed that there may be G proteins that regulate directly the exocytotic machinery. We have investigated whether somatostatin could inhibit secretion at a step distal to second messengers through a GTP binding protein. For these studies two experimental paradigms were used: (1) intact cells stimulated by calcium ionophores and (2) digitonin-permeabilized cells exposed to buffers of increasing Ca2+ concentrations. Somatostatin inhibited by 70% the ACTH release caused by the calcium ionophore ionomycin without modifying the ionophore-induced elevation in cytosolic [Ca2+]. This effect was cAMP independent because (1) it was observed in the presence of high concentrations of membrane-permeant cAMP analogues, and (2) it was not accompanied by a change in cAMP levels. The effect was also independent of the levels of activators of protein kinase C because it could be produced in the presence of high concentrations of phorbol esters. The action of somatostatin was prevented by pertussis toxin. In digitonin-permeabilized AtT-20 cells somatostatin inhibited release induced by calcium buffers in a GTP-dependent manner. These two observations indicate the involvement of a G protein. It is proposed that a G protein coupled to somatostatin receptors inhibits the intracellular machinery of secretion at a step distal to second messengers, perhaps at the exocytotic site.

Abstract
In addition to stimulation of cyclic AMP, parathyroid hormone (PTH) may influence cellular events by utilizing other pathways of hormone action, such as the generation of inositol phosphates (IPs). We sought to examine this potential action of PTH by assessing the formation of inositol phosphates in PTH-sensitive ROS 17/2.8 cells. The polyphosphoinositides were labeled by growing the cells with [3H]inositol following which cell homogenates were prepared. The nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide, GTP gamma S, and calcium ion, alone and together, stimulated all three IPs, IP1, IP2, and IP3. IP1 formation was linear over 30 minutes but IP2 and IP3 accumulated more rapidly peaking by 5 minutes for all agonist conditions. The proportion of total P as IP3 was enhanced when the cells were grown with retinoic acid (1 microM) or when the assay was conducted at pH 4.5. In addition, the lower pH was associated with much more enzyme activity. PTH agonists, bPTH-(1-84) and bPTH-(1-34), both caused a small but significant stimulation of IP3 formation. When bPTH-(1-84), and the analog bPTH-(3-34)amide, that inhibits PTH-mediated adenylate cyclase activity were present together, there was additive stimulation of IP3 formation compared with that with either agent alone. The results demonstrate that inositol phosphate formation can be stimulated directly in a membrane preparation of ROS cells by GTP gamma S, calcium ion, and PTH and that the enzyme mediating this activity, phospholipase C, is regulated by a guanine nucleotide binding protein.

Abstract
The properties of phospholipase C (PL-C) in the plasma membranes (PM) and the cytosol of osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells, UMR-106, were analyzed to see if separate enzymes or similar enzymes were involved in signalling, transduction, and arachidonate release. The cytosolic PL-C displayed substrate affinities in the order of phosphatidylinositol (PI) greater than phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) or phosphatidylinoisitol-4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Hydrolysis of PI, PIP, and PIP2 by cytosolic PL-C was not affected by GTP or GTP gamma S and other nucleotides. PI hydrolysis by PM and cytosolic PL-C was undetectable in the presence of 500 microM EGTA and displayed two activity plateaus at various concentrations of Ca2+. The Km for Ca2+ in the PL-C activity of the first plateau was 0.08 microM. Significant hydrolysis of PIP2 by cytosolic PL-C was observed in the absence of Ca2+. In contrast to the enzyme(s) predominant in the cytosol, the order of substrate affinities for PM PL-C was PIP2 greater than PIP greater than PI. Only PIP2 hydrolysis by PM PL-C was stimulated by both GTP and GTP gamma S in a dose-dependent manner. PIP2 hydrolysis by PL-C of the PM was not observed in the absence of Ca2+, serving to further discriminate this enzyme activity from that of the cytosol. PIP2 hydrolysis by PL-C of the PM also was biphasic in the dependence on Ca2+. At resting cytosolic Ca2+ levels, the Vmax of the high affinity activity already had been achieved. Guanine nucleotide stimulation of PIP2 hydrolysis by PM PL-C was characterized by increased maximum activity with an unchanged Km for Ca2+ or for PIP2. The pH optimum of PIP2 hydrolysis was similar between cytosolic and PM forms of PL-C. PIP2 hydrolysis with production of IP3 (PL-C activity) in UMR-106 cells treated with [2-3H]-myoinositol was stimulated by PTH, and this stimulation was not inhibited by pertussis toxin. These data suggest that UMR-106 cells possess at least two distinct PL-C activities, one predominant in the cytosol and activated by increasing cytosolic Ca2+ with PI as the substrate. The second enzyme, a GTP-activated PIP2-specific PL-C in the plasma membranes may play an important role in hormone-induced PIP2 hydrolysis mediated through guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins and may participate in the hormonal regulation of osteoblast cytosolic Ca2+ and bone remodeling functions.

Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated degradation of polyphosphoinositides (phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP] was found to be present in rat heart ventricular soluble and total membrane fractions (100,000g supernatant and pellet). Distribution of polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activity between the membrane and soluble fraction was approximately 63 and 33% of total activity, respectively, whereas, phosphatidylinositol (PI) degradation could be detected only in the soluble fraction. Optimal PIP2-PLC activity occurred at a pCa2+ of 4.5. A similar peak in PIP-PLC activity could be demonstrated in soluble and membrane preparations; however, the rate of PIP degradation in the soluble fraction continued to increase at the highest calcium level tested (pCa2+ 3). With the exception of Sr2+, other noncalcium polycations did not support homogenate PIP2-PLC activity. In the presence of Ca2+, addition of Mg2+, La3+, or Sr2+ (10(-3) M) inhibited PIP2-PLC while Mn2+ and Gd3+ stimulated activity. In both the total membrane and soluble fractions, maximal polyphosphoinositide degradation occurs at pH 5.5 and 6.8. The detergents deoxycholate, cholate, and saponin exert a biphasic effect on PIP2-PLC activity (stimulating at lower concentrations and inhibiting at higher concentrations). The deoxycholate effect is observed in both the cytosolic and membrane fractions. Neutral and cationic detergents inhibit PIP2-PLC activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Similar to cytosolic PI-PLC activity, PIP2-PLC appears to depend on intact sulfhydryl groups. In the presence of a mixture of all three inositol phospholipids or the three phosphoinositides plus noninositol phospholipids, polyphosphoinositides are preferentially degraded.

Abstract
Platelet activation (cytosolic [Ca2+] increase, aggregation and ATP secretion) was induced with A1F-4. This agent presumably interacts with a G protein which appears to mediate the coupling of the receptors for Ca mobilizing hormones and phospholipase C. All the A1F-4 evoked responses were inhibited by treatment with forskolin or prostacyclin, agents known to increase cellular cAMP. Thus the G protein-phospholipase C system appears to be the site of cAMP inhibition. Unexpectedly forskolin and prostacyclin also inhibited secretion and aggregation induced by the activators of protein kinase C, diglyceride and phorbol ester, suggesting that cAMP can also inhibit directly the protein kinase C dependent responses.

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
LiCl stimulated the formation of inositol monophosphate in PC12 cells that had been exposed to nerve growth factor (NGF) for 4-5 days. Half-maximal accumulation was observed at approximately 8 mM LiCl. Stimulation of formation of inositol bisphosphate plus inositol trisphosphate was half-maximal at approximately 1 mM LiCl. With membranes isolated from PC12 cells differentiated with NGF, the hydrolysis of added phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was stimulated by LiCl in a biphasic manner, with the first stimulation half-maximal at approximately 0.7 mM and the second half-maximal at approximately 15 mM LiCl. The apparent Km for PIP2 was lowered in the presence of 1.1 mM LiCl from approximately 200 to approximately 70 microM. Membranes from cells grown in the absence of NGF did not respond to LiCl. Although observations with intact cells are difficult to interpret without ambiguity, the results obtained with isolated membranes support our interpretation of the stimulatory action of lithium in the intact PC12 cells.

Abstract
Recently, it has been suggested that a mouse sperm-associated protein with properties similar to the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein Gi plays an intermediary role in the zona pellucida-induced acrosome reaction (Endo, Y., Lee, M. A., and Kopf, G. S. 1987. Dev. Biol. 119, 210-216). In the present study experiments were designed to characterize further the role of this Gi-like protein in mediating this physiological event. Sperm capacitated in the presence of islet-activating protein (IAP) were inhibited from undergoing the acrosome reaction induced by either solubilized zonae pellucidae or purified ZP3. This inhibitory effect was observed with IAP concentrations previously shown to ADP-ribosylate the alpha-subunit of the Gi-like protein and inhibit the acrosome reaction induced by mechanically isolated, structurally intact zonae pellucidae. Inhibition occurred as a consequence of the inability of the sperm to progress from a capacitated, acrosome-intact state (B pattern) to an intermediate stage prior to the completion of the acrosome reaction (S pattern), as assessed with a chlortetracycline fluorescence assay. These inhibitory effects of IAP on the sperm acrosome reaction were confirmed by electron microscopy. In contrast, the acrosome reaction induced either spontaneously or nonspecifically by A-23187 was completely insensitive to IAP. Since the inhibitory effects of IAP on the acrosome reaction were at the level of the B to S transition, a transition normally accompanied by a loss in a transmembrane pH gradient, the effects of IAP on the loss of this gradient was assessed with the pH-sensitive fluorescent probe, 9-amino-3-chloro-7-methoxyacridine. The IAP-induced inhibition of the B to S transition was accompanied by a parallel retention of the transmembrane pH gradient. 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB), a muscarinic cholinergic antagonist which has been demonstrated to specifically inhibit the zona-induced acrosome reaction at the B to S transition, also prevented the loss of this transmembrane pH gradient. The similarity of the effects of both IAP and QNB on sperm-zona interactions suggested that the IAP- and QNB-sensitive sites were either closely related or identical. Experiments designed to test these possibilities suggested that both sites were not identical. Finally, it was demonstrated that the acceleration of the zona-induced B to S transition observed with biologically active phorbol esters was insensitive to IAP, suggesting that the site of phorbol ester action is downstream from or independent of the IAP-sensitive site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The reaction time of Ca2+ release from cytoplasmic stores induced by microinjection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), calcium ionophore A23187, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and cyclic guanosine 5'-monophosphate (cGMP) in Oryzias latipes eggs in Ca2+-free medium was measured by the luminescence of aequorin injected into the egg. Microinjection of IP3 or calcium ionophore induced rapid Ca2+ release without a time lag, while microinjection of either Ca2+ or cGMP required a time lag of 5-30 sec for Ca2+ release. Following microinjection of both IP3 and Ca2+, Ca2+ release commenced in a cytoplasmic region close to the egg surface. These results suggest that in the medaka egg, cytoplasmic Ca2+ induces Ca2+ release from cytoplasmic stores indirectly, probably via a membrane factor such as IP3.

Abstract
We have shown previously that calcium and guanine nucleotides stimulate the activity of a phosphoinositide (PI) phosphodiesterase in membranes from rat cerebral cortex and that their effects are additive. To understand further guanine nucleotide- and calcium-stimulated PI phosphodiesterase activity, we have investigated the pH sensitivity and effects of inhibitors on the two modes of stimulation. NaF stimulates PI hydrolysis in brain membranes with an EC50 of 2 mM and a maximal effect at 10 mM, suggesting that a guanine nucleotide binding protein can regulate PI phosphodiesterase. Neomycin inhibited guanylylimidodiphosphate (GppNHp)-stimulated PI phosphodiesterase activity in a concentration-dependent manner, with 90% inhibition at 0.3 mM. Neomycin was not as effective at inhibiting calcium-dependent PI hydrolysis (32% inhibition at 0.3 mM). Chloroquine also had a greater inhibitory effect against GppNHp-stimulated PI phosphodiesterase activity compared to calcium-dependent activity. Guanine nucleotide- and NaF-dependent activations of PI phosphodiesterase were strongly pH-dependent, with greatest stimulation observed at pH 5-6 and inhibition at more alkaline pH. Calcium-stimulated PI hydrolysis was not as sensitive to changes in pH and had a peak of activity at pH 9. Our findings of different pH optima and differential sensitivity to inhibitors suggest that calcium and guanine nucleotides may regulate PI phosphodiesterase in rat cortical membranes through independent mechanisms.

Abstract
The GTPase activities of rabbit platelet membrane were stimulated by platelet activating factor (PAF) in a receptor-mediated manner. The activities of the GTPase were investigated in the platelets which had been pretreated with tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA), dibutyryl cAMP, and PAF. The specific binding of PAF to intact platelet cells was also determined in these treated cells. In platelets which had been pretreated with PAF and then specifically desensitized to PAF, higher concentrations were required for stimulation of the receptor-coupled GTPase. In addition the extent of stimulation of the GTPase by PAF was also decreased. By contrast thrombin stimulation of GTPase activity was unaffected by this process. In platelets pretreated with high levels of dibutyryl cAMP (greater than 4 mM), the specific binding of PAF was reduced to nearly 50% of the control. Although this specific binding apparently was not inhibited by lower concentrations of dibutyryl cAMP (less than 2 mM), PAF could stimulate the receptor-coupled GTPase only to a much lower extent in these treated cells. TPA had virtually no effect on PAF specific binding. However, higher concentrations were needed for stimulation of the GTPase. On the other hand, the extent of PAF stimulation of the GTPase was not altered. Interestingly in the TPA-treated platelet membrane, thrombin stimulated GTPase activity to a higher level than that in untreated platelet membrane. Thus, TPA, dibutyryl cAMP, and desensitization affected the PAF receptor binding and the receptor-coupled GTPase activities in a characteristic fashion. The molecular mechanisms of these effects are discussed.

Abstract
We have studied the involvement of GTP-binding proteins in the stimulation of phospholipase C from rat pancreatic acinar cells. Pretreatment of permeabilized cells with activated cholera toxin inhibited both cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP) and GTP gamma S but not carbachol (CCh)-induced production of inositol trisphosphate. Pertussis toxin had no effect. Neither vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, a stimulator of adenylyl cyclase, nor the cAMP-analogue, 8-bromo cAMP, mimicked the inhibitory effect of cholera toxin on agonist-induced phospholipase C activation. This indicates that inhibition by cholera toxin could not be attributed to a direct interaction of cholera toxin activated Gs with phospholipase C or to an elevation of cAMP. In isolated rat pancreatic plasma membranes cholera toxin ADP-ribosylated a 40 kDa protein, which was inhibited by CCK-OP but not by CCh. We conclude from these data that both CCK- and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors functionally couple to phospholipase C by two different GTP-binding proteins.

Abstract
Stimulation of murine bone marrow derived macrophages with NaF, prelabeled with [1-14C]oleate and [3H]inositol, increased the production of inositol phosphates and the release of 1,2-[14C]diacylglycerol (DAG). Moreover, NaF also induced activation of protein kinase C. These results indicate that bone marrow derived macrophages exhibit a phosphatidyl-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity, sensitive to NaF, which might be modulated by G-proteins. Activation of protein kinase C could have been mediated by NaF-induced release of DAG.

Abstract
NIH3T3 cells were transfected with activated Ha-ras and the corresponding proto-oncogene was subjected to transcriptional control by recombination in vitro with MMTV-LTR. Induction of p21ras expression in quiescent cells by dexamethasone causes an increased turnover of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate with a concomitant rise in inositol phosphates, and an activation of the Na+/H+-antiporter. Addition of serum growth factors to dexamethasone treated cells does not result in an additional stimulation of phosphatidylinositol metabolism or Na+/H+-exchange. There is also a desensitization to exogenous growth factors of the intracellular Ca2+-mobilizing system, leading to a depression of the transitory increase in cytosolic Ca2+ after addition of serum growth factors. None of these effects are seen after expression of the Ha-ras proto-oncogene. Results are discussed as indicating a constitutive growth factor independent activation of growth factor signal transduction by the activated Ha-ras.

Abstract
Activation of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors increases [Ca+2]i and phosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase (phospholipase C) activity in the pinealocyte. In this report the receptor involved in the stimulation of phospholipase C activity was further characterized, and the role of Ca2+ in this effect was investigated in some detail. Phospholipase C activity was estimated by measuring the production of [3H]inositol phosphates by [3H]inositol-labelled dispersed pinealocytes in suspension culture. Norepinephrine stimulated [3H]inositol monophosphate production severalfold; this was blocked by alpha 1-adrenergic antagonists, including prazosin, WB 4101, and phenoxybenzamine, but by neither an alpha 2- nor a beta-adrenergic antagonist, confirming that an alpha 1-adrenoceptor is involved in the regulation of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. Treatment with the Ca2+ chelator, EGTA, or with inorganic Ca2+ blockers, including Co2+, Mn2+, and La3+, reduced the norepinephrine-stimulated response, suggesting that the alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation of phospholipase C activity is Ca2+ dependent. However, phospholipase C activity was not increased by elevating intracellular Ca2+ with either the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or with depolarizing concentrations of K+. These results indicate that although Ca2+ is necessary for alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation of phospholipase C activity, an increase in [Ca2+]i alone is not sufficient to stimulate the activity of this enzyme, and that effects which A23187 and depolarizing concentrations of K+ have on pineal function probably do not involve stimulation of phospholipase C activity.

Abstract
Catecholamines specifically stimulated the rapid formation of inositol phosphates, bisphosphates and trisphosphates in a concentration-dependent manner in FRTL-5 thyroid cells. Further analysis by high performance liquid chromatography revealed the presence of two isomers of inositol trisphosphate, 1,4,5- and 1,3,4-trisphosphate, suggesting that the 1,4,5-trisphosphate of inositol is further metabolized to the 1,3,4-trisphosphate isomer. The alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonist, prazosin, inhibited the effects of epinephrine, while the alpha 2-adrenoreceptor antagonist, yohimbine, was without effect. Treatment of FRTL-5 cells with pertussis toxin (to inhibit Ni) did not abolish the epinephrine effect on inositol trisphosphate formation. Carbachol, N6-[L-2-phenylisopropyl]-adenosine and forskolin were without effect on phosphoinositide metabolism. Both epinephrine and the calcium ionophore A23187 stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux from 45Ca2+-loaded FRTL-5 cells. The time-course of the epinephrine effect indicates that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation (t1/2 approximately 1 s) precedes both the efflux of 45Ca2+ (t1/2 approximately 30 s) as well as the reduction of cyclic AMP levels (t1/2 approximately 90 s) in response to epinephrine. These results strongly suggest that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate has the appropriate properties to act as a second messenger by which alpha 1-adrenergic hormones, through mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and activation of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, reduce cyclic AMP levels in FRTL-5 cells.

Abstract
Rat aortic smooth muscle homogenates and membrane preparations contain a phospholipase C which hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2). We discovered that guanyl-5'yl-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) activated the hydrolysis of exogenous PIP2 but not of phosphatidylinositol (PI) in rat aortic membranes. Further, maximal Gpp(NH)p-dependent hydrolysis was dependent on physiological levels of calcium. Also, magnesium inhibited PIP2 hydrolysis and catalyzed the dephosphorylation of PIP2 to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP). The results imply that PIP2 is the primary substrate of the nucleotide-regulated phospholipase C in rat aorta and that calcium and magnesium are physiological regulators of this activity.

Abstract
Cortical slices from rat brain were used to study carbachol-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis. Omission of calcium during incubation of slices with [3H]inositol increased its incorporation into receptor-coupled phospholipids. Carbachol-stimulated hydrolysis of [3H]inositol phospholipids in slices was dose-dependent, was affected by the concentrations of calcium and lithium present and resulted in the accumulation of mostly [3H]inositol-1-phosphate. Incubation of slices with N-ethylmaleimide or a phorbol ester reduced the response to carbachol. Membranes prepared from cortical slices labeled with [3H]inositol retained the receptor-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis reaction. The basal rate of inositol phospholipid hydrolysis was higher than in slices and addition of carbachol further stimulated the process. Addition of GTP stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis, suggesting the presence of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein coupled to phospholipase C. Carbachol and GTP-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in membranes was detectable following a 3 min assay period. In contrast to slices, increased levels of inositol bisphosphate and inositol trisphosphate were detected following incubation of membranes with carbachol. These results demonstrate that agonist-responsive receptors are present in cortical membranes, that the receptors may be coupled to phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate, rather than phosphatidylinositol, hydrolysis and that a guanine nucleotide-binding protein may mediate the coupling of receptor activation to inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in brain.

Abstract
A phospholipase C exhibiting preferential hydrolytic activity for polyphosphoinositides was partially purified from the deoxycholate extract of human platelet membranes by Q-Sepharose and Heparin-Sepharose column chromatographies. The activity of this purified phospholipase C free of the GTP gamma S-binding activity was stimulated at a similar level by addition of purified rat brain Gi or Go. These results suggest that GTP-binding proteins may interact directly with a solubilized membrane phospholipase C to stimulate its activity.

Abstract
Guanine nucleotides are thought to mediate the interaction of the receptors for calcium-mobilizing hormones and phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. In the present study the characteristics of guanine nucleotide-dependent phospholipase C activation were studied in [3H]inositol-labeled permeabilized hepatocytes. The nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate stimulated the production of inositol phosphates by phospholipase C. The effect was concentration-dependent with half-maximal and maximal stimulation occurring with 0.6 and 10 microM GTP gamma S, respectively. The guanine nucleotide-induced stimulation of phosphoinositide breakdown was selective for phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate over phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate. The individual inositol phosphates formed after maximal GTP gamma S exposure were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was rapidly produced, followed by the formation of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate. Ethanol is known to activate hormone-sensitive phospholipase C in intact rat hepatocytes. Ethanol (0.3 M) was ineffective in altering the characteristics of GTP gamma S-stimulated phospholipase C activation, in both digitonin-treated and sonicated hepatocytes. The metabolism of the various inositol phosphate isomers was unaffected by ethanol. The findings demonstrate the potential for the use of permeabilized hepatocytes in the analysis of phospholipase C activation by guanine nucleotides. Ethanol does not activate phospholipase C by altering this process.

Abstract
The addition of bradykinin to NG108-15 cells resulted in an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) and the formation of inositol monophosphate, inositol bisphosphate, and inositol trisphosphate in these cells. The bradykinin-stimulated formation of inositol polyphosphates in plasma membrane preparations was dependent on the presence of GTP or guanosine-5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S) but not of GDP. GTP gamma S, unlike GTP, increased the basal formation of inositol polyphosphate in NG108-15 membranes. Iontophoretic injection of GTP gamma S into single cells induced increases in [Ca2+]i. These effects of bradykinin and GTP gamma S on [Ca2+]i and the formation of inositol phosphates in the intact cells and membranes were not affected by treatment of the cells with pertussis toxin or cholera toxin. Data on binding of bradykinin to membrane preparations indicated the presence of two classes of binding sites with Kd values of 0.80 +/- 0.26 and 9.63 +/- 0.13 nM. Approximately 74% of the receptors were in the high affinity state. In the presence of guanyl-5'-yl-imidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p], the high affinity sites in the membrane preparations were converted to low affinity sites with no change in the total receptor number. These toxin treatments had no effect on binding of bradykinin to its receptors. Thus, these results indicate that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, which is not a substrate of pertussis toxin or cholera toxin, is involved in mediating the effects of bradykinin on membrane-bound phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C to induce the increase of cytosolic calcium.

Abstract
Guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S) and thrombin stimulate the activity of phospholipase C in platelets that have been permeabilized with saponin and whose inositol phospholipids have been prelabeled with [3H]inositol. Ca2+ has opposite effects on the formation of [3H]inositol phosphates induced by thrombin or GTP gamma S. While the action of GTP gamma S on the formation of [3H]inositol phosphates is inhibited by Ca2+, action of thrombin is stimulated by Ca2+. Guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S), which inhibits the function of GTP-binding proteins, also inhibits the effect of GTP gamma S on phospholipase C stimulation but, surprisingly, increases the effect of thrombin. Ca2+ increases the inhibitory effect of GDP beta S on GTP gamma S activation of phospholipase C, but Ca2+ further enhances the stimulatory effect of GDP beta S on the thrombin activation of phospholipase C. This indicates that two mechanisms are responsible for the activation of phospholipase C in platelets. A GTP-binding protein is responsible for regulation of phospholipase C induced by GTP gamma S, while the effect of thrombin on the stimulation of phospholipase C is independent of GTP-binding proteins. However, the effect of thrombin may be modulated by the action of an inhibitory GTP-binding protein.

Abstract
Many hormones, neurotransmitters or other signaling molecules exert their biological activities through the stimulation of a specific phospholipase C. Once activated, this enzyme hydrolyzes polyphosphoinositide into inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol, two products known to regulate the cytosolic calcium concentration and the activity of protein kinase C, respectively. The molecular mechanisms leading to the activation of phospholipase C after the binding of the signal molecule to its specific receptor remain unclear. Yet, recent studies demonstrated that at least three molecules were implicated: the receptor, the phospholipase C and a GTP binding protein. In this review, we have summarized the properties of such systems and, more particularly, those of the vasopressin-sensitive phospholipase C present in WRK1 cells. The existence of many functional and structural analogies for the receptors which regulate adenylate cyclase activity is discussed.

Abstract
To identify guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G-proteins) in sea urchin eggs and to investigate their role in signal transduction at fertilization, we used cholera toxin (CTX) and pertussis toxin (PTX), which catalyze the specific ADP-ribosylation of G-proteins. Cell surface complex, consisting of plasma membranes and adhering cortical vesicles, was prepared from eggs of Lytechinus variegatus and incubated with 32P-labeled NAD in the presence of CTX or PTX. CTX catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of a 47-kDa polypeptide, whereas PTX catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of a 40-kDa polypeptide. Microinjection of approximately 30 micrograms/ml whole CTX or approximately 20 micrograms/ml CTX subunit A into intact eggs caused exocytosis of cortical vesicles. However, if the eggs were first injected with EGTA (0.6-1.4 mM), injection of CTX did not cause exocytosis. Eggs injected with 0.8-2.8 mM cAMP or 1.0-4.0 mM adenosine 3':5'-monophosphotioate cyclic Sp-isomer (cAMP-S), a hydrolysis-resistant analog of cAMP, did not undergo exocytosis. These results suggest that a CTX-sensitive G-protein is involved in regulating Ca2+ release and exocytosis of cortical vesicles in sea urchin eggs.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase (PL-C) appears to be a key element in the adrenergic regulation of pineal cyclic AMP levels. In the present study, the rat pineal enzyme was characterized using exogenous [3H]phosphatidylinositol (0.5 mM) as substrate. Half the enzyme activity was found in the cytosolic fraction, but the highest specific concentration was associated with the membrane fraction. Two pH optima (5.5 and 7.5) of enzyme activity were observed for the membrane fraction but only one in the cytosol fraction (pH 5.5). Enzyme activity in both fractions was Ca2+ dependent. In the case of the membrane protein in pH 7.5, the enzyme activity was sensitive to changes in Ca2+ in the 10-100 nM range. Addition of an equimolar concentration of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate nearly completely inhibited the hydrolysis of [3H]phosphatidylinositol; other phospholipids (1.0 mM) were less potent. This may reflect our present finding that [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate is a better substrate than [3H]phosphatidylinositol for the enzyme. Stimulus deprivation (2 weeks of constant light or superior cervical ganglionectomy) reduced the cytosolic activity by 30% and had no effect on the membrane-associated enzyme.
