  • Title: Receptor-mediated ADP-ribosylation of a phospholipase C-stimulating G protein.
    Author: Gierschik P, Jakobs KH.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1987 Nov 16; 224(1):219-23. PubMed ID: 3119366.
    Abstract:
    In membranes of myeloid differentiated HL 60 cells, the chemotactic peptide FMLP stimulates phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. FMLP markedly stimulates the cholera toxin-dependent ADP-ribosylation of a 40 kDa protein in these membranes. This effect of FMLP is inhibited by GTP and GTP[S], and is almost completely abolished in membranes of pertussis toxin-pretreated HL 60 cells. Treatment of HL 60 membranes with cholera toxin and NAD markedly inhibits FMLP-stimulated high affinity GTPase. These results suggest that a 40 kDa G protein sensitive to both pertussis and cholera toxin functionally interacts with the formyl peptide receptor of HL 60 cells and, thus, very likely is the G protein that stimulates phospholipase C in this system.
