A new model system for studying the phosphatidylinositol cycle

Abstract
An early manifestation of the response of WRK‐1 rat mammary tumor cells to vasopressin is an increase in incorporation of (32P)Pi into phospholipids. Incorporation into all classes of phospholipids is stimulated; however, incorporation into phosphatidylinositol (PI) is increased to the greatest degree (3‐ to 10‐fold as compared with 1.3‐ to 2‐fold for the other phosholipids). Furthermore, increased incorporation into PI is accompanied by an increased rate of PI turnover; turnover rates of the other phospholipids are unaffected by vasopressin.
