title: P2-purinergic agonists activate phospholipase C in a guanine nucleotide- and Ca2+-dependent manner in FRTL-5 thyroid cell membranes.
abstract: Various adenine nucleotides activated phospholipase C of FRTL-5 cell membranes in the following order of activity, ATP gamma S greater than ATP greater than AppNp greater than AppCp = ADP greater than MeSATP. This order was well consistent with that observed in intact cells. Such activation occurred only in the presence of appropriate concentrations of GTP gamma S and Ca2+, in a way similar to the norepinephrine-induced activation. NaF, a non-specific GTP-binding protein (G-protein) activator, also stimulated the enzyme. These adenine nucleotides, norepinephrine and NaF-induced activations were inhibited by GDP beta S. We conclude that a G-protein is involved in the adenine nucleotides-induced activation of phospholipase C via P2-purinergic receptor in FRTL-5 cells.
