title: G-proteins mediate inhibition and activation of Ca(2+)-induced exocytosis from SLO-permeabilized peptidergic nerve endings.
abstract: In SLO-permeabilized isolated nerve endings from the rat neurohypophysis, GTP, guanosine 5'[y-thio]triphosphate (GTPyS) and guanosine 5'(beta y-imido]triphosphate (GMPPNP) inhibit the Ca(2+)-evoked vasopressin release. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin enhances the inhibitory effects of both GTP-analogues. Omission of Mg2+ overcomes the effect of GMPPNP and reverses the inhibitory effect of GTP and GTPyS. In the absence of Mg2+, GTP and GTPyS now potentiate Ca(2+)-evoked secretion.
