Interaction of stable prostaglandin endoperoxide analogs U46619 and U44069 with human platelet membranes: coupling of receptors with high-affinity GTPase and adenylate cyclase.
It has been demonstrated using a membrane preparation of human platelets that stable analogs of PGH2, U46619 and U44069, control the activity of adenylate cyclase and a high-affinity hormone-sensitive GTPase. At 10(-8)-10(-6) M, the analogs inhibit the basal activity of adenylate cyclase by 20-25%. With a further rise in U46619 and U44069 concentrations up to 10(-5)-10(-4) M, the inhibition is abolished and adenylate cyclase activity is stimulated in a dose-dependent fashion. In the presence of PGE1, only inhibitory action of U46619 was observed at all the concentrations tested. The inhibitory action of the analogs on adenylate cyclase correlates with the activation of the high-affinity hormone-sensitive GTPase. It is concluded that U46619 and U44069 inhibit human platelet adenylate cyclase via specific receptors coupled to the GTP-binding inhibitory protein.
