Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and GTP mobilized 8% and 90% of the ionophore-releaseable Ca2+ pool from rat liver microsomes, respectively. In contrast to GTP, which acted after a lag-time, the Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release was immediate. Poly(ethylene glycol) inhibited the effect of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and enhanced that of GTP. Ins(1,4,5)P3 accelerated and enhanced the GTP-induced Ca2+ release. Guanylyl imidodiphosphate inhibited competitively the GTP stimulated Ca2+ release, but not the GTP-dependent phosphorylation of the Mr 17,000 and 38,000 protein bands.
