Phosphorylation of the neuron-specific substrate of protein kinase C (PKC), B-50 (GAP-43), was studied parallel with noradrenaline release in rat brain synaptosomes. Both could be evoked by treating the synaptosomes with high K+ or veratridine. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate enhanced depolarization-induced B-50 phosphorylation and noradrenaline release. To investigate the involvement of PKC-mediated B-50 phosphorylation in noradrenaline release, we applied a variety of kinase inhibitors. Prior to measuring the effects of these inhibitors in intact synaptosomes, we determined their effectivity and specificity in a membrane phosphorylation assay. H-7 most specifically inhibited PKC-dependent phosphorylation, whereas calmidazolium inhibited calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. Polymyxin B affected both protein kinase systems. Only polymyxin B effectively inhibited noradrenaline release in the intact synaptosomes. We conclude that PKC as well as calmodulin-dependent processes are important for the release event. Data are discussed in view of the presumed function of B-50 as a calmodulin-binding protein.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
