Phosphoinositide breakdown has been linked to the receptor mechanism involved in the elevation of cytosolic Ca2+. In a cell-free system prepared from [3H] inositol-labeled blowfly salivary glands, 5-hydroxytryptamine stimulated the rapid production of inositol phosphates. Within 30 s of hormone addition, there was a 100% increase in inositol trisphosphate formation, a 70% increase in inositol bisphosphate formation, and a 90% increase in inositol monophosphate formation as compared to control homogenates incubated for the same length of time. 5-Hydroxytryptamine did not stimulate inositol or glycerol phosphoinositol formation. Half-maximal activation of inositol phosphate production was obtained with 0.33 microM 5-hydroxytryptamine. Ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N',N',N',N'-tetraacetic acid, (EGTA) (0.3 mM) inhibited the basal formation of inositol phosphates and decreased the net accumulation of inositol bisphosphate and inositol trisphosphate due to hormone as compared to homogenates incubated in the absence of added Ca2+. EGTA, however, had little effect on the per cent stimulation of inositol phosphate production due to hormone. In homogenates, ATP, GTP or guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) was required for a hormone effect. Gpp(NH)p, unlike ATP or GTP, increased the basal formation of inositol phosphates. In membranes, GTP, Gpp(NH)p, or guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)trisphosphate (GTP gamma S) sustained a hormone effect whereas ATP was ineffective. GTP did not affect production while Gpp(NH)p and GTP gamma S increased inositol phosphate production. Half-maximal effects of Gpp(NH)p and GTP gamma S on hormone-stimulated inositol phosphate formation occurred at 10 microM and 100 nM, respectively. In the presence of 1 microM GTP gamma S, 5-methyltryptamine stimulated inositol phosphate formation within 2 s in membranes. These results indicate that in a cell-free system, GTP is involved in mediating the effects of Ca2+-mobilizing hormones on phosphoinositide breakdown.
