Abstract
We have studied the effects of fluoride, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and carbachol on phospholipase C and polyphosphoinositide synthesis. The experimental system consisted of membranes from rat brain cortex, with exogenous [3H]phosphatidylinositol ([3H]PtdIns) as substrate. In such systems, we have not found evidence to support carbachol and/or GTP[S] stimulation of PtdIns phosphorylation. Fluoride inhibited synthesis of PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4,5)P2 from PtdIns. Consequently, under conditions where breakdown of polyphosphoinositides by phospholipase C was dependent on PtdIns kinase activity, fluoride inhibited activation by GTP[S] plus carbachol of phospholipase C. When conditions allowed direct breakdown of PtdIns and precluded PtdIns kinase activity, the stimulatory effects of fluoride and GTP[S] plus carbachol on phospholipase C activity were additive.Entities:
