Activation of adenylate cyclase in human platelet membranes by guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate is inhibited by cyclic-AMP-dependent phosphorylation. Slow activation occurs in the absence of ATP.


ABSTRACT: Incubation of platelet membranes with guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate causes a slow increase in GS (stimulatory GTP-binding protein) activation of adenylate cyclase. Mg2+ is necessary for this slow activation. This process is inhibited in the presence of ATP, and inhibition is greater if cyclic AMP is also included in the incubation. Adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate instead of ATP in the incubation facilitates the slow activation in the presence of cyclic AMP, and incubation of membranes with cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor decreased inhibition of the slow activation of adenylate cyclase by ATP and cyclic AMP. A protein of 45 kDa in platelet membranes is phosphorylated in a cyclic-AMP-dependent manner. The transition from a reversibly activated form of GS to an irreversibly activated form is substantially slower in the presence of ATP and cyclic AMP. We propose that guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate-activated GS may exist in phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated forms, and that the non-phosphorylated form is the more active of the two species. The non-phosphorylated form of GS may correspond to the irreversibly activated state.
