Abstract
Electrically permeabilized cells of rat parotid gland, prelabelled with [3H]-inositol, synthesized [3H]-inositol phosphates (IP3 and IP2) when stimulated with alpha 1-adrenergic, muscarinic-cholinergic, and substance P receptor-agonists. Non-hydrolyzable analogues of GTP (GTP gamma S and GppNHp) also stimulated [3H]-IP3 formation by permeabilized cells and they potentiated the stimulation by receptor-agonists. These effects of guanine nucleotides occurred only with GTP analogues and only in permeabilized cells indicating an intracellular site of action. NaF stimulated [3H]-IP3 accumulation, an effect that was not entirely attributable to the ability of F- to inhibit (1,4,5)IP3 degradation. These results suggest that a guanine nucleotide-dependent regulatory protein couples Ca2+-mobilizing receptors to phospholipase C in parotid gland.Entities:
