In isolated guinea pig parotid gland lobules the activities of the following enzymes were measured 30 sec after stimulation with either 2 X 10(-5) M isoproterenol or 10(-5) M carbachol: glycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.30), glycerolphosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.15), lysophosphatidate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51), phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.4), diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20), diacylglycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.107), and CDP-diacylglycerol synthetase (EC 2.7.7.41). Lyso-phosphatidate acyltransferase, diacylglycerol kinase, and diacylglycerol acyltransferase exhibited significant increases following stimulation by both types of agonists. Stimulation of the activities of these three enzymes occurred also following in vitro incubation with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase or a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. These effects could be reversed by incubation with various protein phosphatases. When cells were first stimulated with either type of agonist, subsequent incubation with protein kinases was almost ineffective. Activation by the two types of protein kinases was not additive, indicating that they activate by phosphorylating identical sites on the enzyme proteins. The other enzymes examined showed no or only minor changes and their activities could not be affected by in vitro incubation with the two types of protein kinases. The results explain the rapid changes in acyl-group transfer from acyl-CoA to neutral lipids observed previously during the first seconds after stimulation of guinea pig parotid gland lobules with isoproterenol or carbachol (1). An analysis of a potential role of lipocortins for the regulation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C reveals that these proteins do indeed inhibit these enzymes, but that this inhibition results from a calcium-dependent interaction of the lipocortins with the phospholipid substrate. A physiological role of lipocortins for the regulation of phospholipases is doubtful.

We previously reported that inostamycin, an inhibitor of CDP-DG: inositol transferase, inhibited cell proliferation in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells by blocking cell cycle progression at the G1 phase. In the present paper, we report the effect of inostamycin on the serum-induced activation of Ser/Thr protein kinases that are involved in G1 progression. In quiescent NRK cells mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) and casein kinase II were activated within 15 min after serum addition. Neither activation was affected by the treatment with inostamycin. However, in the inostamycin-treated cell, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) failed to be activated after serum stimulation. Since serum-induced expression of cyclin E was also suppressed by inostamycin, this inhibitor would appear to block CDK2 activation by inhibiting cyclin E expression. Furthermore, inostamycin also inhibited cyclin D1 expression induced by serum; and consequently, hyperphosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (pRB) by RB-kinases such as CDK4 and CDK2 was abolished, which would result in elimination of functional inactivation of pRB. Thus, early G1 arrest in NRK cells by inostamycin is due to the inhibition of cyclin D1 and E expressions.
