Activation of phospholipase C associated with isolated rabbit platelet membranes by guanosine 5′-[γ-thio]triphosphate and by thrombin in the presence of GTP

Abstract: Rabbit platelets were labelled with [3H]inositol and a membrane fraction was isolated in the presence of ATP, MgCl2 and EGTA. Incubation of samples for 10 min with 0.1 microM-Ca2+free released [3H]inositol phosphates equivalent to about 2.0% of the membrane [3H]phosphoinositides. Addition of 10 microM-guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) caused an additional formation of [3H]inositol phosphates equivalent to 6.6% of the [3H]phosphoinositides. A half-maximal effect was observed with 0.4 microM-GTP[S].… Show more

“…The results reported here show that IP z , instead of IP, itself, stimulates the increase in cytoskeletal actin in saponin-permeated platelets. These findings seem to relate the accumulation ofIP z (Watson et al, 1984;Hrbolich et al, 1987;Ohta et al, 1985) during cell activation to the assembly of actin filaments (Carlsson et al, 1979;Jennings et al, 1981;Howard and Meyer, 1984), and suggest that IP 2 is the second messenger, just like IP, for Ca2+ release.…”

“…This should occur at a lower rate than PtdInsP2 hydrolysis, since PtdInsP2 content which results from the balance between its synthesis and degradation rates, never returned to control values over the period tested. Alternatively, one cannot exclude that PtdInsp is also attacked by phospolipase C, as reported for thrombin in platelet membranes [43].…”

“…All of these studies in either permeable cells or isolated membranes could be interpreted to indicate that some of the IP and IP, produced in stimulated systems might be formed via the direct breakdown of PIP or PI. Likewise, investigators working with platelet membranes and permeabilized leukemia cells concluded that there was a substantial amount of direct agonist-mediated breakdown of PIP in their systems since the addition of excess unlabeled Ins(1,4,5)P3 or (2,3)diphosphoglycerate resulted in fairly small changes in the levels of labeled Ins(1,4,5)P3 and IP2 produced (Hrbolich et al, 1987;Ali et al, 1989).…”
