Exocytosis from metabolically depleted permeabilized rat mast cells was measured in response to provision of Ca2+ and guanine nucleotide [GTP or guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S])]. For cells permeabilized in simple salt solutions (NaCl), both of these effectors were required to induce secretion. Exclusion of Mg2+ caused an increase in both the sensitivity of the system to GTP and the extent of secretion elicited, while having no such effects on secretion induced by GTP[S]. The effect of Mg2+ depletion on the ability of GTP to stimulate secretion is probably due to the dependence on Mg2+ of the GTPase activity of GE (a postulated GTP-binding protein which mediates exocytosis). This argues that a persistent stimulus to the G-protein is required to support secretion. Affinity for both GTP[S] and GTP is enhanced when the cells are permeabilized in zwitterionic electrolytes (glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glycine) instead of NaCl. Under these conditions, secretion occurs in response to provision of either GTP[S] [in the effective absence of Ca2+ (pCa 9)] or Ca2+ (in the absence of guanine nucleotide). Secretion induced by GTP[S] is strongly promoted by the presence of Mg2+ at concentrations in the millimolar range; this promotion by Mg2+ declines as the concentration of Ca2+ is elevated towards pCa 7. At pCa 6, Mg2+ is without effect. Ca(2+)-induced secretion requires the provision of MgATP. Since this is further enhanced by low concentrations (&lt; 100 microM) and then inhibited by high concentrations of GDP, the essential role of ATP is likely to be in the maintenance of GTP via transphosphorylation by a nucleoside diphosphate kinase reaction. Thus, under conditions of high affinity (glutamate environment), GTP[S] alone is capable of inducing exocytosis. Ca2+ acts in concert with guanine nucleotides: it enhances the rate and extent of secretion and increases the affinity for Mg2+ and guanine nucleotides in the activation of the GTP-binding protein (GE) which regulates exocytosis.

Guanine nucleotide is essential and Ca2+ is a modulator in the exocytotic reaction of permeabilized rat mast cells
