Popis: Treatment of rat parotid tissues with 1 microM isoproterenol (IPR) for 10 min caused a 60% decrease in pertussis toxin (IAP)-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha and resulted in supersensitivity of amylase secretion from the tissues. However, conversely, IPR treatment for 30 min caused a 40% increase in IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha, coupled with desensitization of amylase secretion. No changes in Gs function were observed in IPR-induced phenomena. Pretreatment with okadaic acid induced enhancement of the supersensitivity of amylase secretion and disappearance of the desensitization. These phenomena were accompanied with decreases in IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha. IPR treatment for 30 min caused a 50% decrease in phosphorylation of Gi2 alpha immunoprecipitated with anti-G protein antiserum (AS/7) from [32P]Pi-labeled cells, but such treatment for 10 min caused a 40% increase in phosphorylation in the cells pretreated with okadaic acid. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of immunoprecipitates with AS/7 by protein kinase A (PKA) and alkaline phosphatase caused decreases and increases in IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation, respectively, indicating the presence of PKA-mediated phosphorylation sites on Gi2 alpha. Thus, the control of the phosphorylation of Gi2 alpha is of importance and relevance in the regulation of biological processes and cellular responses.
