In contrast with previous reports, it was found that membrane-protein phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit (CS) of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase had no effect on Ca2+ uptake into platelet membrane vesicles or on subsequent Ca2+ release by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Furthermore, IP-20, a highly potent synthetic peptide inhibitor of CS, which totally abolished membrane protein phosphorylation by endogenous or exogenous CS, also had no effect on either Ca2+ uptake or release by IP3. Commercial preparations of protein kinase inhibitor protein (PKI) usually had no effect, but one preparation partially inhibited Ca2+ uptake, which is attributable to the gross impurity of the commercial PKI preparation. IP3-induced release of Ca2+ was also unaffected by the absence of ATP from the medium, supporting the conclusion that Ca2+ release by IP3 does not require the phosphorylation of membrane protein.

ABSTRACT This work describes the stimulation by a peptide hormone of an individual cell in a prescribed region of its plasma membrane. When Leydig cells were stimulated via a section of membrane tightly sealed to an electrode containing LH, a very localized area exhibited the morphological change known as 'rounding up', which is a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase-mediated response. This localized stimulation did not produce a wider response through intracellular, intermembranous or extra-cellular signals. Each individual cell responded to peptide stimulation gradually, with an increase over time and with dose. In contrast, when the stimulation was accomplished using a non-hydrolysable cyclic AMP analogue in the patch electrode, a general response throughout an individual cell was produced. Locally stimulated peptide hormone receptors, adenylate cyclases and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases appear to be closely associated so that second messenger production and the effects it mediates are compartmentalized.
