Abstract
We have examined the influence of guanine nucleotides on Ca2(+)-dependent amylase secretion from SLO permeabilized rat pancreatic acini. GTP gamma S (100 microM) stimulated Ca2+ dependent amylase release, decreasing the EC50 for Ca2+ from 1.4 to 0.8 microM. By contrast, GDP (1mM) and dGDP (1mM) inhibited the maximal Ca2(+)-dependent secretory response. Measurement of IP3 liberation showed that Ca2+ stimulation did not increase the activity of phospholipase C (PLC) postulated to be linked to a G-protein termed Gp; GDP and dGDP must therefore be exerting their inhibitory action via a GTP-binding protein distinct from the PLC-linked Gp.Entities:
