Abstract
Addition of phorbol ester-activated, partially purified protein kinase C to membranes of human platelets had no effect on forskolin stimulation of the adenylate cyclase and increased stimulation by prostaglandin E 1 only at high GTP concentrations by preventing inhibition by GTP. Hormonal inhibition of the platelet adenylate cyclase by epinephrine was eliminated or largely impaired. At low GTP concentrations, epinephrine even caused a small increase in cyclase activity. The data suggest that activated protein kinase C interferes with GTP- and hormone-induced adenylate cyclase inhibition probably by phosphorylating the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component N i.
