Abstract

Synthetic wasp venom Mastoparan induced an increase of [3H] inositol phosphates levels and a corresponding decrease of [3H]inositol phospholipids levels in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The effect was dose (5-100 micrograms/ml) and time (1 to 15 min) dependent. Mastoparan also enhanced the endogenous activity of phosphatidylinositol kinase and phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate kinase. The effect was dose (25-75 micrograms/ml) and time dependent (1 to 15 min).
