Abstract
Treatment of intact human platelets and S49 lymphoma cyc− cells with the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, impairs GTP-dependent and hormone-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase, an action mediated by the inhibitory coupling protein Ni. In contrast, receptor-independent activation of Ni with subsequent adenylate cyclase inhibition induced by the stable GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[γ-thio]triphosphate, was affected in neither the potency nor onset of Ni activation by the stable GTP analog, in both membrane systems studied. The data indicate that modification of Ni following phorbol ester treatment does not impair its activation by stable GTP analogs
