Abstract
Several inositol trisphosphate isomers and inositol tetrakisphosphate activate a rat brain phosphoprotein phosphatase, using phosphohistone as well as phosphorylase kinase as substrate. Inositol mono- and bisphosphate have no effect. The protein phosphatase may correspond to type-1 since it is associated with the particulate fraction and is inhibited by heparin. Evidence is presented for the target of inositol phosphate being the catalytic subunit of the protein phosphatase. A parallelism is observed between the ability of the several inositol trisphosphates to activate the protein phosphatase and reported data indicating their ability to release calcium in permeabilized cells.Entities:
