alpha-Adrenergic (phenylephrine) and muscarinic (carbachol) agonists and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate caused calcium release and contractions in smooth muscle strips permeabilized with Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin. The responses to phenylephrine and carbachol required or were potentiated by added GTP and could be inhibited by GDP beta S. GTP and phenylephrine also increased the contractile response of permeabilized portal vein smooth muscle to cytoplasmic Ca2+. We conclude that while the G-protein-coupled phosphatidylinositol cascade, through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced calcium release, is a major mechanism of pharmacomechanical coupling, a second G-protein-mediated pathway that modulates the calcium sensitivity of the regulatory contractile proteins also exists.
