title: Mastoparan inhibits phosphoinositide hydrolysis via pertussis toxin-insensitive [corrected] G-protein in human astrocytoma cells.
abstract: Mastoparan inhibited [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation induced by carbachol as well as cyclic AMP accumulation induced by isoproterenol in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Mastoparan inhibited GTP gamma S-induced, but not Ca2(+)-induced, [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation in membrane preparations with an IC50 of approximately 10 microM. The inhibitory effect of mastoparan on carbachol-induced [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation was resistant to pertussis toxin (IAP) treatment in intact cells. These results suggest that mastoparan inhibits phospholipase C in human astrocytoma cells via a GTP binding protein, which is not a substrate for IAP.
