Abstract
The Ca2+-mobilizing action of thrombin was demonstrated in a cell-free platelet membrane system consisting of open sheets of plasma membrane plus sealed membrane vesicles that accumulate Ca2+ and release Ca2+ in response to IP3. Thrombin plus GTP, acting on plasma membrane (not vesicles), produced a soluble factor (destroyed by alkaline phosphatase) that released Ca2+ from the vesicles. This effect of thrombin/GTP was blocked by a monoclonal antibody that binds to vesicles and prevents Ca2+ release by IP3. Pertussis toxin plus NAD ADP-ribosylated plasma membrane polypeptides of 39 and 41 kDa and blocked Ca2+ release by thrombin/GTP, but not by IP3.Entities:
