Over the past few years a great deal of interest has been paid to the effects of orthovanadate ions on different ATPases (1). The E2VO4 (Vi) ion, a powerful inhibitor of these enzymes is in many respects analogous to orthoghosphate, one of the products of the ATP-ase reaction. As the involvement of phosphate is not a parent in the reaction catalysed by adenylate cyclase (ACP it seems rather nuzzling that V. ions h s Seen affect this enzyme, too: marked activatzon by Vi -a detected in the AC of fat cell (2), heart tissue (3,4) membrane preparations, of pancreatic enzyme (5) rat brain (6) and of turkey erythrocyte (7). In this communication some preliminary results on the activation by ViOf human platelet AC are described. ,Thte effect of vanadate, second of its combination with prostaglandin hormones, third wit'? re&ative guanine nucleotides then combined erithboth were studied on Ihumanplatelet AC, It was found that the activation of human platelet AC by Vi is related to the presence of guanine nucleotides, thus it seems that the G?F binding protein (G-protein, activator subunit) is somehow involved in the effect of vanadate. The key words: adenylate cyclase, human Rlatelet, vanadate, GTE', GDT, prostaglandins.

The results presented in thrs note (besides show~h,-that platelet AC can also be activated by Vij give some clue to tne problem of the mechanism of this activation. As phosphate is not a product of the AC reaction itself, Vi ion, an analogue of phosphate, cannot act directly on the catalytic unit of the AC complex. Like all well coupled AC-s (13,14,15), human platelet AC comists of three subunits (16): catalytic unit, prostaglandin hormone receptor and GTP-binding protein. The latter is a regulatory unit, which is responsible for the connection of the hormone receptor to the catalytic unit. The hydrolysis of GTP is involved in t&e regulation of the AC system. All the observations presented above suggest a close link between activation by Vi plus guanine nucleotides and the GTP hydrolysis of platelet G-protein. This idea is supported by the following details of the observations presented here: The most interesting finding is that GDP ?Ihich does not activate any AC systen in the absence of a nucleotide regenerati 'ing system causes in combination with Vi a high activation kcnether or not a hormone is added. GDP + Vi seems to play the role of GTP. In the hormone (PGZq or PGI2)-activated state linenGTP hydrolysis is highly stimulated (l7), activation by Vi is observable only upon the addition of GTP or GDP. In the absence of activating hormones, activation by V- is observed only when no or relatively low concentrations o? GTP or GDP are added. (Tie action of Vi without the addition of any exogenous GT? is not in contradiction with the assumption of a concerted action of this anion and GE?/GDP, 5'he concentration of CJPP + GDP in the medium used for enzymic activity measurement can be calculated from the 'knownnucleotide content of intact platelets (18) as roughly IO-7 wihh seerasto be high enough to maintain the G-protein GTP-ase(Xm = IO-7 -10-8j(l ) in a state charged with substrate.) Pluori 1 e causes an activation insensitive to the addition of Vi or any of the above combinations as expected since its binding site is known to be different from that of GTP, and its action does not involve the G-protein Gi!P-ase. The conclusion that Vi activation of XC is mediated somehow by G-protein is supported by some reported data. in the presence of the strongly activating nonhydrolysable GTP analog GptiXp n further ac$ig:tj,,p. could be elicited by Vi in fat A more direct supsortzng evicells (27 or 1~1. hearb a dence is that AC of S 49 lymphoma cells, deficient in Gprotein, are insensitive to the addition of Vi. Moreover vi inhibits the G-protein GTP-ase in turkey erythrocyte AC f7). Similar inhibition by Vi was observed with several ATPases (I). This inhibitions are due to the formation of an BD?. Vi. enzyme comolex (19). There are indications at least in the case of myos'=m ATP-ase, that the conformation of this "freezed-in" complex is similar to that of one of the intermediates of the ATP-ase reaction (20). it seems possible that a similar "freezed in" complex forms in the G-protein GTP-ase in the presence of Vi + GDP. It is assumed that its conformation is mimicking the activating state of G-protein.
