In this study the mechanisms involved in alpha 1-adrenergic receptor-mediated Ca2+ mobilization at the level of the plasma membrane were investigated. Stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux from saponin-permeabilized DDT1 MF-2 cells was observed with the addition of either the alpha 1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine and guanosine-5'-triphosphate or the nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide guanylyl-imidodiphosphate. In the presence of [32P]NAD, pertussis toxin was found to catalyze ADP-ribosylation of a Mr = 40,500 (n = 8) peptide in membranes prepared from DDT1 MF-2 cells, possibly the alpha-subunit of Ni. However, stimulation of unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux by phenylephrine was not affected by previous treatment of cells with 100 ng/ml pertussis toxin. These data suggest that the putative guanine nucleotide-binding protein which couples the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor to Ca2+ mobilization in DDT1 MF-2 cells is not a pertussis toxin substrate and may possibly be an additional member of the guanine nucleotide binding protein family.
