title: Bombesin activation of phospholipase C beta 1 in rat acinar pancreatic cells involves the pertussis toxin-sensitive G alpha i3 protein.
abstract: Bombesin stimulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins P3) formation in rat sonicated pancreatic acinar cells was inhibited by an antibody directed against the pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive GTP-binding G alpha i3 protein but not by an anti-G alpha q-11 antibody. After solubilization and gel filtration, [125I-Tyr4]bombesin binding sites were recovered in a peak of protein of 67 approximately 90 kDa with a maximal enrichment corresponding to a molecular mass of 83-kDa. Results obtained from the non-hydrolysable GTP analog guanosine-5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S) binding, PTX-stimulated ADP-ribosylation and immunoblotting showed that the 83-kDa fraction contained the G alpha i3 protein but not the G alpha q-11 protein. Furthermore, GTP gamma S increased the bombesin binding dissociation constant (KD) from 0.32 to 0.60 nM, while the anti-G alpha i3 antibody decreased the maximal binding capacity (Bmax) from 50 to 25 fmol/mg protein without affecting the KD. Mixing solubilized bombesin binding sites with a phospholipase C (PLC) preparation from rat pancreas reconstituted a bombesin-stimulated PLC activity which was markedly inhibited by the anti-G alpha i3 antibody but unaffected by the anti-G alpha q-11 antibody. In addition, this stimulation was inhibited by an anti-PLC beta 1 antibody. This result supports the involvement of the PLC beta 1 isoform in bombesin receptor activation.
