The guanylnucleotide specificity of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (MR) inhibitory coupling to cardiac adenylate cyclase (AC) was investigated under low MgCl2 (i.e., 0.5 mM) conditions. In purified cardiac sarcolemma, carbachol maximally inhibited AC activity 60% in the presence of GTP. Carbachol-dependent inhibition in the presence of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S) or guanylylimidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] was of lesser magnitude (i.e., 30%) and was evident only during short incubation periods. Of greater interest, carbachol maximally inhibited AC activity in the presence of GDP and guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate (GDP beta S) by 35 and 60%, respectively. Control studies ruled out transphosphorylation of GDP and GDP beta S by nucleoside diphosphate kinase or guanylnucleoside triphosphate contamination as reasons for the inhibitory effects of GDP and GDP beta S. Furthermore, isoproterenol stimulated AC in the presence of GTP, GTP gamma S, and Gpp(NH)p but not in the presence of GDP or GDP beta S. Therefore, GDP and GDP beta S may serve as agonists on MR-activated Gi but not on beta-adrenergic receptor-activated Gs in these membranes. Time course studies revealed that carbachol-dependent inhibition of AC in the presence of either GTP or GDP occurred without a detectable lag period, and this inhibition was rapidly reversed by atropine. In contrast, a 1-2-min lag time was required for carbachol- and GDP beta S-dependent inhibition of AC to occur, and inhibition, once developed, was only partially and slowly reversed by atropine. Preincubation of sarcolemma with carbachol and GDP beta S, in the absence of ATP or under nonphosphorylating conditions, eliminated the lag time for inhibition of AC activity. Although it is unlikely that GDP and GDP beta S have physiological relevance of MR-Gi-AC coupling, these studies provide unique insights into this coupling mechanism in cardiac membranes.
