Potentiation of muscarinic-agonist-stimulated polyphosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis was demonstrated in a rat cerebral-cortical membrane preparation prelabelled with myo-[3H]inositol. Accumulation of myo-[3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate ([3H]IP2) was used to assess brain [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis as its immediate metabolite, myo-[3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, was rapidly hydrolysed to [3H]IP2. Inclusion of ATP (100 microM) and Mg2+ (5 mM) in the assay medium was necessary to demonstrate the effect of GTP analogues on carbachol-stimulated brain [3H]PPI turnover. Carbachol (100 microM) induced only a small increment in [3H]IP2 accumulation (142% of control) in 1 min. However, its effect was markedly enhanced, to 800% and 300% of control, by 100 microM-guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) respectively. GTP[S] and p[NH]ppG also stimulated [3H]IP2 accumulation by over 500% and 200% of control, respectively. The GTP-analogue-potentiated carbachol effect was antagonized by 10 microM-atropine, whereas the GTP-analogue stimulation was unaffected. This report confirms the involvement of a G (GTP-binding) protein(s) in brain PPI metabolism and provides new evidence for the role of G protein(s) in the coupling of stimulated muscarinic receptors to PPI hydrolysis in the central nervous system.

D011976 Receptors, Muscarinic One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Muscarinic receptors were originally defined by their preference for MUSCARINE over NICOTINE.
