title: The effects of mastoparan on the carrot cell plasma membrane polyphosphoinositide phospholipase C.
abstract: When [3H]inositol-labeled carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells were treated with 10 or 25 microM wasp venom peptide mastoparan or the active analog Mas-7 there was a rapid loss of more than 70% of [3H]phosphatidylinositol-4-monophosphate (PIP) and [3H]phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and a 3- and 4-fold increase in [3H]inositol-1,4-P2 and [3H]inositol-1,4,5-P3, respectively. The identity of [3H]inositol-1,4,5-P3 was confirmed by phosphorylation with inositol-1,4,5-P3 3-kinase and co-migration with inositol-1,3,4,5-P4. The changes in phosphoinositides were evident within 1 min. The loss of [3H]PIP was evident only when cells were treated with the higher concentrations (10 and 25 microM) of mastoparan or Mas-7. At 1 microM Mas-7, [3H]PIP increased. The inactive mastoparan analog Mas-17 had little or no effect on [3H]PIP or [3H]PIP2 hydrolysis in vivo. Neomycin (100 microM) inhibited the uptake of Mas-7 and thereby inhibited the Mas-7-stimulated hydrolysis of [3H]PIP and [3H]PIP2. Plasma membranes isolated from mastoparan-treated cells had increased PIP-phospholipase C (PLC) activity. However, when Mas-7 was added to isolated plasma membranes from control cells, it had no effect on PIP-PLC activity at low concentrations and inhibited PIP-PLC at concentrations greater than 10 microM. In addition, guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) had no effect on the PIP-PLC activity when added to plasma membranes isolated from either the Mas-7-treated or control cells. The fact that Mas-7 did not stimulate PIP-PLC activity in vitro indicated that the Mas-7-induced increase in PIP-PLC in vivo required a factor that was lost from the membrane during isolation.
