β¦ Synopsis
In cultured foreskin fibroblasts, bradykinin stimulates inositol phosphate generation, arachidonic acid release, and N a + / H + exchange, with doses of 1-3 n M yielding half-maximal stimulation. Binding of 'H-bradykinin to these cells demonstrates a single receptor site with a Kd of 2.0 n M and a B , , , of 91 fmoles/mg protein. Bradykinin analogs of the B2 type inhibit this binding. CTP synergizes with bradykinin to stimulate phosphatidylinositol turnover in permeabilized fibroblasts and GTP-7-S decreases the B,,,, of bradykiniti binding to fibroblast membranes, indicating that a G-protein couples the receptor to phospholipase C. Pretreatment of fibroblasts with either cholera or pertussis toxin enhances bradykinin stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation.
