Phosphatidyl inositol-phospholipase C in squid photoreceptor membrane is activated by stable metarhodopsin via GTP-binding protein, Gq
Phosphatidyl inositol-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) in squid retina was studied by immunoblotting and its activities were determined using [3H]phosphatidyl inositol bisphosphate ([3H]PIP2) as substrate. PI-PLC activity was found mostly in soluble fraction when the retina homogenate was treated with 400 mM KCl, but was associated with rhabdomal membranes under low salt conditions (20 mM Hepes). A pro...
متن کاملNeutrophil phospholipase D is activated by a membrane-associated Rho family small molecular weight GTP-binding protein.
Phospholipase D in human neutrophil lysates is activated by GTP gamma S (guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)), implying the participation of a GTP-binding protein. Reconstitution of GTP gamma S-dependent activity requires protein factors in both the plasma membrane and the cytosol (Olson, S. C., Bowman, E. P., and Lambeth, J. D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 17236-17242). The location of the GTP-b...
متن کاملLight- and GTP-activated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate in squid photoreceptor membranes.
Light stimulates the hydrolysis of exogenous, [3H]inositol-labeled phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) added to squid photoreceptor membranes, releasing inositol trisphosphate (InsP3). At free calcium levels of 0.05 microM or greater, hydrolysis of the labeled lipid is stimulated up to 4-fold by GTP and light together, but not separately. This activity is the biochemical counterpart of...
متن کاملInositol trisphosphate production in squid photoreceptors. Activation by light, aluminum fluoride, and guanine nucleotides.
The light-stimulated production of inositol triphosphate (IP3), via hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2), can be demonstrated in an in vitro preparation of isolated distal segments of squid photoreceptors. The retina is labeled with [3H]inositol (Szuts, E. Z., Wood, S. F., Reid, M. S., and Fein, A. (1986) Biochem. J. 240, 929-932), and the rhodopsin-containing distal segments ...
متن کاملCoupling of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor to phospholipase C by a GTP-binding protein distinct from the inhibitory or stimulatory GTP-binding protein.
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulated a rapid rise in inositol trisphosphate (IP3) formation and prolactin release from 7315c tumor cells. The potencies (half-maximal) of TRH in stimulating IP3 formation and prolactin release were 100 +/- 30 and 140 +/- 30 mM, respectively. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (for up to 24 h) had no effect on either process. Pretreatment of ...
