title: A subtype of opioid kappa-receptor is coupled to inhibition of Gi1-mediated phospholipase C activity in the guinea pig cerebellum.
abstract: PLC activity was stimulated either by 1-100 microM of GTP or by 100-3,000 microM Ca2+ in lysed synaptosomal membranes of the guinea pig cerebellum. The kappa-opioid receptor agonist selectively inhibited the PLC activity stimulated by 100 microM GTP, but not by 100-3,000 microM Ca2+. Pretreatment of membranes with PTX abolished such a kappa-agonist-induced inhibition of PLC activity. The reconstitution of Gi1, but not of Go purified from porcine brains with PTX-treated membranes showed a complete recovery of the kappa-agonist-inhibition of PLC activity. These findings suggest that a novel subtype kappa-receptor mediates inhibition of PLC through inhibiting the intrinsic activity of PTX-substrate G-proteins.
