title: G regulatory proteins and muscarinic receptor signal transduction in mucous acini of rat submandibular gland.
abstract: The involvement of G regulatory proteins in muscarinic receptor signal transduction was examined in electrically permeabilized rat submandibular acinar cells. The guanine nucleotide analog, GTP gamma S, caused the dose dependent hydrolysis of membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to release IP3. This response was insensitive to pertussis toxin treatment and was duplicated by NaF but not by GDP beta S. Enhanced IP3 synthesis was observed with a combination of GTP gamma S and carbachol. Exogenous IP3, as well as carbachol and GTP gamma S, provoked the release of sequestered 45Ca2+ from non-mitochondrial stores. In intact cells, carbachol significantly reduced the level of cyclic AMP induced by the beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol, to 69% of its normal value. Pertussis toxin abolished this inhibitory action of carbachol on cyclic nucleotide levels. These results suggest that muscarinic receptors are coupled to two separate G regulatory proteins in submandibular mucous acini-the pertussis toxin-insensitive Gp of the phosphoinositide transduction pathway associated with elevated cytosolic calcium levels, and the pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi inhibitory protein of the adenylate cyclase complex.
