title: Demonstration of inositol phosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase activity in rabbit neutrophils: absence of a role for protein kinase C.
abstract: Rabbit peritoneal neutrophils, permeabilized with Triton X-100, contain inositol phosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase activity capable of converting [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) to [3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate. This activity is found predominantly associated with the soluble component of fractionated neutrophils. It is comprised of specific and nonspecific activities toward Ins-1,4,5-P3 which can be separated by cation exchange chromatography. Treatment of neutrophils with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) prior to permeabilization does not affect the rate of Ins-1,4,5-P3 breakdown by these cells. In addition, activation of endogenous protein kinase C in a soluble fraction prepared from neutrophils does not affect the specific inositol phosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase activity of this fraction. Taken together, these results provide evidence that activation of protein kinase C in the neutrophil does not affect its 5-phosphomonoesterase activity. Unlike platelets, the phosphorylation of a 5-phosphomonoesterase, if it occurs, may not play a role in the inhibitory effects of PMA on neutrophil responsiveness.
