title: Chemical and functional analysis of components of adenylyl cyclase from human platelets treated with phorbolesters.
abstract: Human platelets, prelabeled with [32P]phosphate were treated with tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) for 5 min at 37 degrees C. Phosphorylation of the components of adenylyl cyclase was determined in membranes using specific antibodies against G-proteins and the catalytic moiety. Less than 0.01 mol of [32P]phosphate/mol could be detected in immunoprecipitates using antibodies against sequences within the alpha-subunit of the GTP binding protein Gi. TPA, however, caused the incorporation of 0.67-1.1 mol of [32P]phosphate per mol of catalyst while 0.13-0.2 mol were found in the absence of TPA. Lack of modification of the alpha-subunit of Gi was also indicated by the results of reconstitution experiments with purified Gi alpha from bovine brain: adenylyl cyclase in membranes from untreated platelets was significantly more inhibited by added G1 alpha, than that from TPA treated cells. While beta, gamma-subunits were like-wise inhibitory no difference dependent on platelet-pretreatment could be observed.
