Abstract
Parallel studies were carried out in the rabbit iris on (a) the effects of Na+ and/or Ca2+ on the acetylcholine-stimulated 32P labeling of phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) and the breakdown of polyphosphoinositides (poly PI), and (b) the effects of these cations on the specific radioactivity of [gamma-32P]ATP. Incorporation of 32P1 into ATP and phosphoinositides is time-dependent, and it is remarkably dependent upon Na+ concentration in the incubation medium. The Na+ effect is reversible. Calcium ion, in the absence of Na+, had no effect on the specific radioactivity of ATP in 32P-labeled iris muscle; however, it moderately stimulated the 32P labeling of PA and PI and the breakdown of poly PI. In contrast, the addition of Na+, in the presence or absence of Ca2+, significantly reduced the specific radioactivity of ATP and 32P labeling of phospholipids in the 32P-labeled iris muscle. Acetylcholine had no measurable effect on the specific radioactivity of ATP. Furthermore, the neurotransmitter stimulated the 32P labeling of PA and PI and the breakdown of poly PI in the 32P-labeled muscle only in the presence of both Na+ and Ca2+. These data provide additional support for the concept that in the rabbit iris receptor-activated Ca2+ fluxes mediate or precede the effects of alpha-adrenergic and cholinergic muscarinic agents on phosphoinositide breakdown into 1,2-diacylglycerol and inositol phosphates and that restoration of the polar head groups to the 1,2-diacylglycerol (i.e., the recovery stage) is probably associated with Na+ outflux, via the Na+ -pump mechanism.
