A role for rho-kinase in rho-controlled phospholipase D stimulation by the m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.
J Biol Chem

Institut für Pharmakologie, Universitätsklinikum Essen, D-45122 Essen, Germany.
Stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD) by membrane receptors is now recognized as a major signal transduction pathway involved in diverse cellular functions. Rho proteins control receptor signaling to PLD, and these GTPases have been shown to directly stimulate purified recombinant PLD1 enzymes in vitro. Here we report that stimulation of PLD activity, measured in the presence of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, by RhoA in membranes of HEK-293 cells expressing the m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) is phosphorylation-dependent.

Altered processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a central event in the formation of amyloid deposits in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. To investigate whether cellular APP processing is controlled by cell-surface neurotransmitter receptors, human embryonic kidney (293) cell lines were transfected with the genes for human brain muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Stimulation of m1 and m3 receptor subtypes with carbachol increased the basal release of APP derivatives within minutes of treatment, indicating that preexisting APP is released in response to receptor activation.

The gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABA) receptor belongs to a superfamily of proteins involved in chemical reactions that regulate signal transmission between cells of the nervous system and is the target of some of the agents most frequently used in medicine to control disorders of the central nervous system. In contrast to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which initiates signal transmission and is the best characterized member of the superfamily, the GABA receptor forms anion-specific transmembrane channels and inhibits signal transmission. The chemical kinetic experiments described here, in which fast chemical reaction techniques were used, indicate that both receptor proteins may operate by the same mechanism.

The mammalian nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in PC12 cells has many properties characteristic of the neuronal receptors involved in key chemical reactions that are responsible for signal transmission between cells of the nervous system. This report describes initial investigations of the mechanism of this receptor using a rapid chemical kinetic technique with a time resolution of 20 ms, which represents a 250-fold improvement over the best time resolution (5 s) employed in previous studies. Carbamoylcholine, a stable analogue of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, was the activating ligand used, and the concentration of open transmembrane receptor-channels in PC12 cells was measured by recording whole-cell currents at pH 7.

Agonist-specific cytosolic Ca2+ oscillation patterns can be observed in individual cells and these have been explained by the co-existence of separate oscillatory mechanisms. In pancreatic acinar cells activation of muscarinic receptors typically evokes sinusoidal oscillations whereas stimulation of cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors evokes transient oscillations consisting of Ca2+ waves with long intervals between them. We have monitored changes in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by measuring Ca2(+)-activated Cl- currents in single internally perfused mouse pancreatic acinar cells.
