Abstract: | Incubation of the serum-deprived cultures of NIH/3T3 cells with bombesin or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induced the phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphoinositides. Protein kinase C-activating 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and pertussis toxin inhibited the bombesin-induced phospholipase C reactions. AlF4-, a direct activator of GTP-binding proteins (G proteins), also induced the phospholipase C reactions and TPA inhibited the AlF4- -induced reactions. These results suggest that a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein is involved in the coupling of the bombesin receptor to the phospholipase C and that the coupling of the G protein to the phospholipase C is inhibited by protein kinase C. In contrast, neither TPA nor pertussis toxin inhibited the PDGF-induced phospholipase C reactions, indicating that a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein is not involved in the coupling of the PDGF receptor to the phospholipase C and that this coupling is insensitive to protein kinase C. These results suggest that the regulatory mechanism of the PDGF receptor for the phospholipase C activation is different from that of the bombesin receptor. |
