Fc epsilon RI-stimulated Ca(2+)-dependent secretion from rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells permeabilized with Staphylococcal alpha-toxin: Fc epsilon RI-operated signals are not mimicked by the actions of GTP gamma S.
1. RBL-2H3 cells permeabilized with alpha-toxin responded to dinitrophenol (30-40 mol/mol)-conjugated human serum albumin, as antigen, to secrete [14C]serotonin in the micromolar range of free Ca2+. 2. Calcium ion alone did not cause substantial secretion. 3. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) (100 microM) in combination with Ca2+ produced only negligible [14C]serotonin secretion. 4. GTP gamma S, in the presence of cytochalasin D, caused optimal secretion of [14C]serotonin in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner.
