We have previously reported that phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase of intact platelet may be activated by either elevating intracellular cAMP content or lowering cytosolic Ca2+ (Thrombos. Res. 44, 155, 1986). Further studies were conducted to elucidate properties of platelet PI-kinase, especially possible regulation by A-kinase or Ca2+. The activity of the enzyme in platelet homogenate was markedly inhibited by a very low Ca2+, while Mg2+ was absolutely required for the activity. The activity was not affected by the presence of A-kinase catalytic subunit or protein kinase inhibitor but it was inhibited by cAMP as well as other compounds containing adenosine. These results suggest that the platelet PI-kinase is not regulated directly by A-kinase but by Ca2+ and that the regulation by Ca2+ may act as a negative feedback system in activated platelets.
