The regulation of bombesin-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) activity in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts was examined. Increasing protein-tyrosine phosphorylation by using pervanadate to inhibit tyrosine phosphatases was found to stimulate protein kinase C (PKC)-independent [3H]phosphatidylbutanol ([3H]PtdBut) accumulation within 5 min, which continued to increase up to 30 min. The stimulation of PLD activity in response to submaximal [bombesin] could be decreased by approx. 50% by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, whereas pretreatment with genistein and the PKC inhibitor Ro-31-8220 completely abolished the generation of [3H]PtdBut in response to a maximal concentration of bombesin. The addition of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) into permeabilized cells resulted in an increase in [3H]PtdBut, which was abolished by depletion of cellular ATP. The additional presence of 30 microM GTP[S] did not increase the stimulation of PLD activity by any [bombesin] tested, whereas it was synergistic with that stimulated in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These findings suggest that bombesin-stimulated PLD activity is indirectly regulated by G-proteins, possibly through a kinase intermediate. Furthermore, activation of protein tyrosine kinases is proposed to account for the PKC-independent arm of bombesin-stimulated PLD activity. No evidence was obtained for a form of PLD directly regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007211	Indoles	Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
D007529	Isoflavones	3-Phenylchromones. Isomeric form of FLAVONOIDS in which the benzene group is attached to the 3 position of the benzopyran ring instead of the 2 position.	3-Benzylchroman-4-One,3-Benzylidene-4-Chromanone,Homoisoflavone,Homoisoflavones,Isoflavone,Isoflavone Derivative,3-Benzylchroman-4-Ones,3-Benzylidene-4-Chromanones,Isoflavone Derivatives,3 Benzylchroman 4 One,3 Benzylchroman 4 Ones,3 Benzylidene 4 Chromanone,3 Benzylidene 4 Chromanones,Derivative, Isoflavone,Derivatives, Isoflavone
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010712	Phosphatidic Acids	Fatty acid derivatives of glycerophosphates. They are composed of glycerol bound in ester linkage with 1 mole of phosphoric acid at the terminal 3-hydroxyl group and with 2 moles of fatty acids at the other two hydroxyl groups.	Ammonium Phosphatidate,Diacylglycerophosphates,Phosphatidic Acid,Acid, Phosphatidic,Acids, Phosphatidic,Phosphatidate, Ammonium
D010739	Phospholipase D	An enzyme found mostly in plant tissue. It hydrolyzes glycerophosphatidates with the formation of a phosphatidic acid and a nitrogenous base such as choline. This enzyme also catalyzes transphosphatidylation reactions. EC 3.1.4.4.	Lecithinase D,Phosphatidylcholine Phosphohydrolase
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.

D001839	Bombesin	A tetradecapeptide originally obtained from the skins of toads Bombina bombina and B. variegata. It is also an endogenous neurotransmitter in many animals including mammals. Bombesin affects vascular and other smooth muscle, gastric secretion, and renal circulation and function.	Bombesin 14,Bombesin Dihydrochloride,Dihydrochloride, Bombesin

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
