We have recently shown that nanomolar concentrations of glucagon-(19- 29), which can derive from native glucagon by proteolytic cleavage of the dibasic doublet Arg17-Arg18, inhibit the Ca2+ pump in liver plasma membrane vesicles independently of adenylyl cyclase activation (Mallat, A., Pavoine, C., Dufour, M., Lotersztajn, S., Bataille, D., and Pecker, F. (1987) Nature 325, 620-622). We report here that the regulation of the Ca2+ pump by glucagon-(19-29) is dependent on guanine nucleotides. In the presence of 10 microM guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio) triphosphate (GTP gamma S) or 75 microM GTP, glucagon-(19-29) caused a biphasic regulation of the Ca2+ pump. ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport was inhibited in the presence of 10 pM to 1 nM glucagon-(19-29), while higher concentrations of the peptide (1-100 nM) reversed the inhibition caused by lower ones. GTP gamma S alone, at high concentrations (100 microM), reproduced the inhibitory effect of glucagon-(19-29) and induced a 40% inhibition of the basal activity of the Ca2+ pump which was reversed by low concentrations of glucagon-(19-29) (10 pM to 1 nM). Treatment of rats with cholera toxin resulted in a 70% increase in the basal activity of the Ca2+ pump, a loss of sensitivity to GTP gamma S and to the biphasic regulation by glucagon-(19-29). Treatment with pertussis toxin did not affect the response of the Ca2+ pump to GTP gamma S and glucagon-(19-29). We conclude that glucagon-(19-29) can exert a biphasic effect on the Ca2+ pump which is mediated by G protein(s) sensitive to cholera toxin.
