Phospholipase D in rat myometrium: occurrence of a membrane-bound ARF6 (ADP-ribosylation factor 6)-regulated activity controlled by βγ subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Both protein kinase C and protein tyrosine kinases have been shown to be involved in phospholipase D (PLD) activation in intact rat myometrium [Le Stunff, Dokhac and Harbon (2000) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 292, 629-637]. In this study we assessed the involvement of monomeric G-proteins in PLD activation in a cell-free system derived from myometrial tissue. Both the PLD1 and PLD2 isoforms were detected. Two forms of PLD activity, essentially membrane-bound, were found in myometrial preparations. One form was stimulated by oleate and insensitive to guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio] triphosphate (GTP[S]). The second required ammonium sulphate to be detected and was stimulated by GTP[S]. ADP-ribosylation factors (ARF1 and ARF6) and RhoA were immunodetected in myometrial preparations. ARF1 and RhoA were present in the membrane and cytosolic fractions whereas ARF6 was detected exclusively in the membrane fraction. A synthetic myristoylated peptide corresponding to the N-terminal domain of ARF6 [myrARF6((2-13))] totally abolished PLD activation in the presence of ammonium sulphate and GTP[S], whereas myrARF1((2-17)) and the inhibitory GDP/GTP-exchange factor, Rho GDI, did not. These data are consistent with a membrane-bound ARF6-regulated PLD activity. Finally, the stimulation of PLD by ARF6 was inhibited by AlF(-)(4) and this inhibition was counteracted by the fusion protein glutathione S-transferase-beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (495-689) and by the QEHA peptide (from adenylate cyclase ACII), which act as G-protein betagamma-subunit scavengers. It is concluded that G-protein subunits betagamma are involved in a pathway modulating PLD activation by ARF6, illustrating cross-talk between heterotrimeric and monomeric G-proteins.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
